Welcome to the forums.

HR guy: Alas, this position requires someone with at least 265 years experience. ;)

While the original idea was tongue in cheek, I do have a lot of (digital) PostIt notes with little scripting and command line gems (as, I'm sure, most of us do).

Thinking about collecting all of my linux notes into book format and publishing them - a compendium of distilled wisdom and helpful summaries. Maybe establish my own publishing house just for the occasion. Alas, both the "bible" and the "nutshell" idioms were already taken. How about: "Linux...

+1 - What you said about what Osprey said!

Once I bought my C64, I had to save up for another whole year before I could afford a 1541 floppy drive. During that year, I used a borrowed cassette drive (1341, I think). When I finally got a 1541, I found that -all- of the programs and data that I had accumulated over that year fit handily...

I have a tower system that was given to me "for disposal" with no mention of why it was up for disposal. I took a look at the inside of it and the CPU heatsink was almost completely blocked with dust/dirt so I surmise the thing was shutting down whenever it got too hot. I cleaned it and used...

At least as often as I wash my car... bu that's not saying much. :) I clean it out any time I'm mucking around inside of it, with special attention to the fans and heat sinks, of course. The last couple of years, I've been in a more pet-hair-intensive environment so I'll probably give...

I had a Timex Sinclair 1000 ... not in the $100 days but when you could pick them up on discount for $40.00... but if you plugged in that massive 16 K RAM pack, the video quality went all to crap. I am still impressed by the way the keyboard input changed modes depending upon what sort of input...

I was able to get conky to run one cycle, displaying some network info in the terminal window, then exit with the following config in /tmp/.conkyrc (which, I'm sure, has -much- room for improvement): -- Conky, a system monitor https://github.com/brndnmtthws/conky -- -- This configuration file is...

It turns out Georgie had got stung by a yellow jacket on the inside of her lip an hour or so before this pic was taken, so it's a bit swollen and it makes her face look kind of masculine. The less observant folks on r/corgi keep referring to "she/her" as "he/him" despite the glaring lack of...

Dang! It would suck to need a clean second computer on hand just to cheat.

Georgie's spare hooman just sent me a picture one of the other "dog show geeks" took for her. (DSGs (not to be confused with "GSDs", which actually -are- dogs) are like linux geeks but with dogs instead of tech.) This is Georgies's "good side" for today - the other side probably still has...

After another three weeks, she's almost half the size (weight) of her mom. (this pic is already over a week old)

I feel like I've missed something... what is "safe exam browser" and how does it relate to "renewables with linux"?

Thanks. I'd thought it might be an option for a smartphone but, alas, I've become addicted to the smartphone-size screen.

thanks

What make and model of phone did you buy? Was it expensive?

Well at least it doesn't date back to 1793, when the french decapitalized Henry and Marie, leaving their entire country in lower case ever since. (Apologies to any Frenchmen on the forum. That was the first famous head of state I could think of.)

"decapitalising" is a word?! I thought I invented it just for this occasion. :( Your computer is probably just trying to evangelize the correct way to spell things. :cool: The youngsters often have little idea what they're talking about, either. One of the nice things about learning to...
