    New System76 Galago Pro (galp7)

    Just purchased the new Galago Pro (galp7) from System76 and it's pretty fun so far! It's a 14" sub $1,000 laptop as they offer it, but you can add memory and choose the better processor. I'll do a review in the next cpl days, but wanted to give a quick intro of it while I get used to it :)

    Tuxbot has arrived in this forum section to help the Kali users get through their issues

    I'm a fan of Kali, but use it for what it's meant for which isn't your main Linux distro. It's for pentesting - and if you want respect on here, you know enough Linux to figure out most things on your own if you're in the Kali section. I've added Tuxbot to this forum section to help those that...

    Read me before using this forum section!!

    TuxBot is based on OpenAI's ChatGPT (using GPT 3.5) and can be very helpful. I gave him the personality of a cool California surfer. He knows quite a bit, but he's been wrong in the past. Keep it Linux/coding related and 'PG rated' Do not use code that he generates in anything important. Do...

    ChatGPT can be super helpful in helping you to create or modify code. For a fun exercise I recently asked it to write a "dead man's switch" style script in python. Specifically to check if there have been any new files written to a specified directory within the last 7 days. If there was...
