I’ve been using Linux for 25 years, awk is a more recent addition to my arsenal, but rapidly becoming more and more useful.

For example, awk is extremely helpful if you want to rearrange columns, do math on columns, essentially do things that would take multiple lines of bash with cut and read.

How about drug testing all the politicians every week?

grep, sed, awk, and find

I wonder why it requires a full VM, has anyone run it inside Docker?

Edit: For some reason I thought Distrobox was like VirtualBox, instead it seems more like Docker, apparently even requires podman … carry on, nothing to see here.

PS … TIL that there’s a Signal .deb available.

I wonder … will it be another case of “Too Big To Fail” … or will it be … “Let The Market Decide”?

I’m guessing the answer depends on how many medals the CEO of Oracle can bestow upon the Orange.

Me … cynical … no … just been here for a while.

As it happens, the ABC is already available on DAB+, so in some ways it’s a step backwards 😇

Yes and no.

It’s not power by itself, because other appliances would be affected.

The common denominator is the network.

There may well be an interaction between the power and the network, but I’m suspecting earth issues, rather than voltage ones, because networking is essentially low voltage and adding power voltages would cause more permanent damage than a reboot or temporary outage.

A network should also be physically separated from power.

I’m suspecting that a network cable is damaged and is in close proximity to a power cable, which may well be also damaged, perhaps by the same event.

It might also not be in or near the house, but out on the street.

I wonder if you have a fault in your network wiring, one that causes a short circuit when it gets wet.

Interesting. TIL. Thank you.

I did discover this collection of tools that appears to provide code signing by the Linux Foundation project:

Why can’t RustDesk use Let’s Encrypt instead?

For a time it was Solitaire, but these days it’s 2048.

Why type uptime when w is sufficient?

I’ve heard it as:

When’s your Dentist appointment?

2:30.

Wow, that’s some serious misinformation.

And precisely how will you achieve the minimum standard of sustaining human life … trivial things like food and lodging?

That’s very interesting.

A little while ago we tested a bunch of radios for their spurious emissions. Until this post I was unaware that these radios were not tested by the FCC and that it appears that this is also true for other amateur transceivers.

For your information, here’s our report: https://github.com/vk6flab/rhp

I’m guessing that if you set your DNS to AdGuard a lot of this nonsense would go away.

Another alternative is to remove the internet access from your fridge.

More likely than not you’re confusing modifier keys.

On the Mac, the zoom is [Command] + [+].

In Linux it’s [Control] + [+]

This is pretty much true across the board. It’s sometimes non-obvious because wrappers like UTM try to “help”.

The alternative is to ssh into the VM and continue to use the MacOS shortcuts you’re used to.

It’s dinner time and why haven’t you fed me yet?

I’m clearly starving, why haven’t you fed me yet?

I’m not kidding around, why haven’t you fed me yet?
