I just got an email about a new power supply board for the rpi5 - PD Power Extension Board for Raspberry Pi 5. It’s on their pihut website and is $20. Has multiple input types.

Did some LLM put together minor and report and decide it was a minority report?

Same. I also have an old Backbox distro that I used daily for years and every once in a while fire it back up for shits and giggles.

That’s brilliant.

FYI, you don’t need to either on linux. Look up sudo.

So the 1997 Superbowl was “back in the day…?” Holy fuck.

Maybe a little primitive, but I copy my .bash_history file to a folder with a dated name every afternoon using a cron job. Then I can just grep that for commands I know I ran in the past. ‘sort -fu’ will remove the duplicates in the results.

Same here. My Dad has been using Mint for years now, and wouldn’t know what to do in the command line. He gets on, does what he needs to do, and it just works for him.

I will take a look, thanks! And I got a huge ad right at the top of the page, how apropos.

There used to be lynx. Oh look, it’s still being maintained. Not sure how well it works though, might have to try it out:

Well damn. Isn’t that just ripe.

Not sure if you can use rust to write browser plugins, but I really want a plugin that when you right click a link, you have to option to open the link with javascript disabled. Chrome or Firefox.

Not a formal interview, but one time when I was much younger my Grandma came out to visit. For some reason we were all sitting around the table one evening, and I had a tape recorder. We all started talking and I hit record and just sat there and listened. I flipped the tape when it ran out and continued taping. She passed away probably 5-10 years later and I held onto the tape. Once technology caught up, I digitized it and turned it into a cd. I break it out now and then and listen to her talking about our family history. Since then I have made it a point to record family members, even if it’s just to hear their voices again. So get after it…

Edit: I will add this, I am so glad that I didn’t try and dominate the conversation and I just let her run with it. Make sure you give the person you are recording the latitude to just talk and reminisce.

Set up a cron job to run every hour that deletes them if they are older than 60 mins. Eg:
0 * * * * find /var/tmp -type d -mmin +60 -exec rm -rf {} ;

I only have experience with Bitbucket, and absolutely none if this may be applicable to you, but we have to generate a key with certain parameters (a minimum) for them to work, and the public key has to be input into a field on your account. So while you do not need to “provide” a username to perform git commands, it is set up in your account as your private key. The command to gen the key is: ssh-keygen -t rsa -m PEM -b 4096 -C “your.email@domain.com”

Once you put your public key into your bitbucket account, using that key will mark all changes you make to you. Is this what you are talking about or am I just off in left field?

Son, is that you? I had a linux machine setup for my kids with a reverse proxy. I let them have a handful of websites that were whitelisted and they could go directly to. Everything else was off limits unless I ok’ed it and added it to the list. It still boggles my mind at the scoffs I would receive from other parents, and even my spouse at the time.

Fantasy Grounds has a 30 day no questions asked guarantee. If you don’t like it they will refund your money. Their license goes on sale quite a bit so you might be able to get it at a pretty good discount depending on the timeframe.

Sounds great in theory, but when you are trying to use awk to print out commands that might have something like printf and have to start escaping quotes, it gets really messy really quick. I have run into situations like this more than I care to as I like writing commands that will write out other commands. Spaces in filenames also mess with things like sed or sort where you want a specific column. Sorry, but in my opinion using the same character that was previously determined to be a delimiter is just a bad idea.

snap has made df and mount frustrating as hell to use!!

Christ you guys are making me feel old. I remember back in the day when a serial connection was made through an actual serial port. I know I have some serial cards around here somewhere. I have also used the tar command on an actual tape… Here’s a fun fact, if your tape drive (big reel to reel looking thing, not a cassette or other kind of ‘tape’) has an issue with rewinding, do not use your finger to manually spin the reel. Use a pencil. I finished reeling my tape back up once and realized I now had a blister on the end of my finger.
