We are having that discussion about blocking social media for under 16 year olds. The argument most ignored is that this will not reduce anything because at 18 you are not magically a sane and responsible, law abiding citizen. People drink...

I dont want to brag, but hey not for everyone, i'm luckely retired, walks at 6u30 in morning, one hour after midnight i can do. But which this not for everyone, needs attention, same time give alot of love. And Labradors, you must have one to know.

A total mess atm. Now removing a massive wood construct that was once a mainframe made of old PC's. Who can use old LSI SAS controllers? 😊

I am exactly getting your point and agreeing with it. Coffee warning signs are there because McD doesn't want to own up to their fuckup. They don't want to lose reputation, and admit they delivered a hazardous product. They lobbied, lined up...

blackbird9, supposedly true in the US as well. (from stuff you've posted I think you're in the UK).

Yep, with the best of intentions, my mancave spread throughout the rest of the house. Or at least most of it. My wife did accidentally stub her toe on an old v210 I had propped up against the sofa. She got quite angry so it lives in the garage now.

If you're talking about a women and McDonalds coffee, that conclusion is a propaganda scam by media paid by McD. This was no frivolous claim - the woman, minutes after her coffee was made, spilled it on her lap, and she got burns through the...

Install sddm with pkg install sddm, I guess? I always hated these graphical login managers because they used to put the user in a loop and remove the option leave Xorg. It should be just a program. There's nothing to manage further. Don't know...

I wasn't actually talking about porn. I was talking about creating hysteria to deal with fears, instead of solving problems. For that porn was a good example. Don't get me wrong, I neither applaude the masses of free porn we have since the WWW...

Alain De Vos, two suggestions. One is using netcat, e.g., if your printer is at 192.168.1.50 netcat 192.168.1.50 9100 < myfile.pdf That's for pdf files. Secondly I'll spam my own page, which recommends the everywhere driver...

Thanks everyone for the answers! Thanks for that! I knew about :+ expansion, but couldn't find how it can be applied in a real script. Neat :) JohnK's solution is quite close, but I think I finally implemented what I wanted without any...

I would approach it with a file method. If the data is sensitive you can use a FIFO instead (data is gone once consumed). This would require the least amount of modification to "prompt.sh". [wrapper-communication]cat script.sh #!/bin/sh # Note...

I thought I saw a manpage with more instances, but 'man remind' mentions LPR. Does the sunsetting of these commands make all printcap files except the one(s) generated by cups obsolete? And if so, should not all the details be put into...

www.youtube.com/watch?v=mNeJ9OIhXVU There you go, and there is more where this came from.

The obvious way is to define and use a custom shell functionmain() { ./prompt -a 1 -b 2 -c 3 -d 4 }so any long parameter list is in one place only. This can be abbreviated even further:eval ${1:+yes |} exec ./prompt foo bar able Are you sure...

best is relative, but my warm fuzzy place is to iterate thru all command line parameters and use case...esac to check each param, and consume any expected following option in two part parameters, such as (-n 3). And FWIW, don't wrap something...

We had our own trouble with this kind of lawmaker, and still do. If I could redefine the process of making a law, I would make it mandantory to give a veto-bat to at least two randomly picked persons (like jury duty) who have a masters degree in...

Those who like the beep out, there are segments on Jimmy Kimmel with "unnecessary censorship" where they insert beeps into harmless statements, turning normal conversations into something completely different. Enjoy.

Go with Prosody. It’s lightweight, easy to set up, and runs smooth on BSD. If you want something heavier with more features, try ejabberd, a bit more work but solid

I'm using Prosody XMPP instance on my FreeBSD. Runs perfectly fine!

A lot of people don't realize how often business people interact with others, even competitors, behind the scenes. Subway's founder Fred DeLuca's was a good friend of the founder of Jersey Mike's.

Just remember, Bill had some help from his mum... for some strange reason those movies never mention that, I guess they must have just plain forgot.😄 "Bill Gates' mother, Mary Gates, was involved with IBM through her role on the board of the...

If you want that you need to go with the original in Rachau: View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V_BD07UpvFM

You're right--my mistake--but not in the physical sense. It's the direct addressing of the viewer that makes it the fourth wall. The third wall is the presence of the production itself.

I liked that scene; yeah it totally broke the flow, but I thought it was cool (iirc he zooms out from a sitting chair to scene switch), and I haven't seen any other media do something like that for story-telling :p

Absolutely hated that. There's a scene where the Bill Gates is meeting with IBM for the first time and one of the guys steps out of character to face the camera and impart how important the moment is. It totally breaks "the third wall", I didn't...

I kind-of like it in some context; there's a scene on Family Guy where it's silence for a couple secs and then a F-bomb, and it's more hilarious with the beep vs uncut 😆 Like this cut/beep vs uncut; the beep with the calm before that is funnier 🤣

And here. Over here they even still beep-out swear words on TV. So your 8 year old can watch something 'sanitised' on TV, then go to their bedroom with their smartphone and access all kinds of toxic crap. The irony is verging on the ludicrous.

systeutils/reptyr with tmux is probably what you want. Start whatever you're doing in a tmux session make a note of its PID. As I write this, I was thinking that that was what I used to do, but I realize I'm remembering incorrectly. Still, it...

Pirates of Silicon Valley: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0168122/ I saw it at a computer class in high school; I'd love to see more OS/computer movies portrayed like that! (informative, and some engaging drama) Revolution OS is cool too (more...

Oh, well. I know now what I'll be accused of for using it. It's gonna be fun.

That's what's coming, I think. Radio and TV stations needed to be licensed to be on the air. In the future, servers may need to be licensed to be on the internet.

The people wanting net neutrality wanted that; or might have been manipulated to ignore that for free/faster internet :p I'm confused why the solution to bad-actors is still harboring them. "Protect the children", while allowing platforms to...

It's banned on television in the USA. This leads into my occasional comment that I think, eventually, the internet will be regulated in the same way over-the-air radio and television is today. When radio first came out, it was the wild-wild-west...

That's only because none of this really makes any sense. Putting code into an opensource OS to force things like this in a way that can't be patched around fairly easy, is incredibly difficult.

It requires a change to the license which can be rather complicated when much of the code is coming from a different project. I feel like they will have more luck if it's a click through on their website to download, but I haven't really looked...

hedwards Yes, possibly. However I remember this direct connect approach working for some time now. Time flies; don't want to put time on it. :) I answered it in the context of balanga's initial question. In my case restored structures were being...
