This is the classic example of why you should always set the foreground color when changing the background color. Otherwise you end up with <code> blocks that are black-on-black. It probably works fine if your browser…
Does it allow truly persistent mosh connections? I can't remember which iOS client it was, but I've used one which forgot I was connected if I left the app for long enough. The mosh process was still running on the…
I believe the primary use-case for devices like this is debugging "Why isn't this server rebooting?" without driving to the datacenter. Good luck figuring that out with AnyDesk or SSH.
I've had decent results with html-pdf-chrome[0], which automates printing to PDF from Chromium or Chrome. [0] https://github.com/westy92/html-pdf-chrome/
The most reliable fix is to get Windows to use UTC for the hardware clock, which is usually the default on Linux. (It's more reliable because it means the hardware clock doesn't need to be adjusted when DST begins or…
Not to me. It says "System Initiative is an Intuitive, Powerful, and Collaborative replacement for Infrastructure as Code" but I still don't understand what it does or why I would want to use it.
https://purismspc.com (the backup domain they registered after the 2018 outage) is sort of working. It responds, but links all go to puri.sm so they don't work, stylesheets don't load, etc.
He meant approximately half a bit. Base64 uses 64 characters, which means 6 bits per character. 50 characters gives you about 5.64 bits per character. Unlike Base64's 3-bytes-equals-4-characters, that never comes out…
Let's face it, the Perl 5/PCRE regex syntax is atrocious. The only reason it exists is that (? was a syntax error in earlier regex syntaxes, so it could be redefined to mean anything. Raku is an attempt to design a sane…
I made a silverware holder custom-fit to my silverware. I found a half-inch thick HDPE cutting board at a restaurant supply store, cut it to fit my drawer, then drilled holes in it and inserted short wooden dowels to…
redhat-release is a symlink to /etc/centos-release: $ cat /etc/redhat-release CentOS Linux release 7.5.1804 (Core)
I've been using Joplin for a while now, syncing via Nextcloud. One tip: I set up a cronjob to export into a Git repository so I have a complete history. The core of the script is: joplin sync joplin export --format=raw…
MATE is a GNOME 2 fork created to continue its development without the radical turn of GNOME 3. Cinnamon is actually a GNOME 3 fork created to turn it back into a more traditional desktop environment. XFCE is not a fork…
My browser can't even read that. It renders as "In Hamlet, Act [2163], Scene [2168]..." (where [2163] means a small box with those 4 digits). What font do I need to install to be able to read that as "In Hamlet, Act IV,…
Just for fun, I tried again today with a new chat: Q: Who was the first US president whose surname begins with "R"? A: The first US president whose surname begins with the letter "R" was John Quincy Adams. Q: Adams does…
It is: Contractors' Handbook: The Expert Guide for UK Contractors and Freelancers (3rd Edition; 13 Nov. 2017) by Dave Chaplin (ISBN-10: 1527216039; ISBN-13: 978-1527216037)
The problem is that if you don't already know the answer, it's hard to tell the difference between ChatGPT giving you the correct information and ChatGPT authoritatively spouting the wrong information. Here's a chat I…
xfce4-terminal, because I switched to Xfce when GNOME went on their "reinvent the UI" trek. I was happy with the UI I already had, thanks very much.
The Babylon 5 space combat game that was cancelled late in development. Think Wing Commander, but in the Babylon 5 universe as a Starfury pilot. https://babylon5.fandom.com/wiki/Babylon_5:_Into_the_Fire_(G...
The bill would eliminate Daylight Time and redefine Eastern Standard Time etc. to be the same offset they currently are during daylight time. https://www.congress.gov/bill/117th-congress/senate-bill/623...
The big problem with this is that mobile Safari on iOS won't autofill passwords for sites using WWW-Authenticate. It used to, but that feature got dropped years ago, which really ticks me off, as I regularly use a…
They could at least provide an indication when delivering the spam that "Twilio believes this message is spam and will block your account if you try to resend it".
I believe https://metacpan.org/pod/PDL would be the closest Perl equivalent, but it's not my field and I haven't used it.
That's the way I read it, although I don't understand why they're focusing on installation. That seems like choosing a car based on how long it takes to change the oil. I'd be more interested in a benchmark of how much…
If I type "3 + 6 + 9" as fast as I can, then hit "=", I only get 18 about half the time. Sometimes I get 12, sometimes 15, occasionally something else. This is with a iPhone 11 Pro on iOS 14.4.2. It's ridiculous. I…
