Because of in-fighting.

And have multiple copies in at least two locations of anything truly important to guard against disaster (such as a fire or regionally appropriate natural disaster). I got a spare drive to copy all the music that I’ve made and sent it to my father in a different part of the country. I could lose everything and be pretty bummed, but not that (without severe depression). I also endorse use of a safe deposit box at a bank if you don’t have someone who can hold data in a different city.

What are you talking about, that’s mine scumbag!

Reminds me of the bash.org Napster entry. For posterity:

<NES> lol
<NES> I download something from Napster
<NES> And the same guy I downloaded it from starts downloading it from me when I'm done
<NES> I message him and say "What are you doing? I just got that from you"
<NES> "getting my song back fucker"

This is great. Just to let you know, whatever decision you make is wrong. Cheers!

A security guard where I work asked me about it. I told him it’s a software project and he told me it’s a poem format. I told him I was aware of the original meaning.

A friend liked the design and asked about it. Two questions after only wearing it three times is a pretty good return for a new shirt. I buy a lot of shirts with neat designs and only a handful garner comments or questions.

Switch to printf.

printf "%s\n" "text goes here"

Your sister has good taste.

It’s a great idea for the Right! They’re too stupid to notice that group chats are not encrypted and they conspire to commit crimes right out in the open. Don’t take that away from us!

I guess Microsoft is stepping up their campaign against OSS.

/s I know it’s a bad joke. MS contributes a lot to OSS. It would have worked better in the Ballmer era.

Developers, developers, developers, developers.

At the project’s official website.

If you’re the kind of nerd who likes wearing tshirts for podcasts and software projects, you can support the project by buying a shirt with this cool logo. I got mine recently and people seem to like it / ask about it.

Needs a longer quote:

Kape Technologies is a major player in the online privacy world, one of the three giants that collectively control the market. It owns many of the world’s top VPNs, including ExpressVPN, CyberGhost, Private Internet Access, ZenMate, Intego Antivirus, and a host of tech websites that promote its products. Kape brands can be seen sponsoring a wide array of public figures, such as Tucker Carlson, Angry Video Game Nerd, Drew Gooden, Lex Fridman, Cody Ko, Uncle Roger, and Ben Shapiro.

So they’re basically evil.

“We are living in an era of tyranny,” Shapiro says in one video endorsing the company, adding:

And far-right shills are mindlessly promoting them.

Evil with a capital evil.

Turn off broadcast of the SSID (meaning that your network isn’t seen when someone looks at available networks).

PiHole is probably more advanced than you’re ready to explore given your present level of knowledge, but I’d encourage you to dive in if you consider the concept interesting. You might develop a new hobby. If you have a tech-interested friend, you might ask them to set one up on your behalf.

Quick, print them all out now before they’re gone!

Sounds like definitely Intel. Macs have EFI (Extensible Firmware Interface) rather than BIOS. Attach the install media and hold Option when powering up. This will take you to the EFI boot loader, where you should see icons for each potential startup disk. Select the Linux installer and hit Return or click the button to advance.

I don’t know which distros have the best support for different generations of Apple hardware. You should be able to get some sense of whether the distro is a good candidate from observing whether the mouse and kbd are functional before you commit to the install.

That’s what I’d always thought. Thanks for correcting the bad info from the image. I’d hate to carry that bad info forward.

Copy a live cd iso using dd.

No one ever looks at /var? Isn’t that where my Apache dir lives? Sorry, I’ve been off Linux for a while. I think I put Git in there as well.

I never understood the title for /usr. Now I do. Thanks!
