Pumpkin curry is sooooo good.

Moving towards the equator made me hate winter a lot less. Having more consistent daylight throughout the year made a big difference for me.

A few days ago I was messing with my ubiquiti dream router and its ssh config option said the key should start with ssh-rsa 🙄

Yeah, chapter 1 page 2 actually haha but the whole book is good.

This is so Carl Sagan.

And so we got to talking. But not, as it turned out, about science. He wanted to talk about frozen extraterrestrials languishing in an Air Force base near San Antonio, “channeling” (a way to hear what’s on the minds of dead people—not much, it turns out), crystals, the prophecies of Nostradamus, astrology, the shroud of Turin … He introduced each portentous subject with buoyant enthusiasm. Each time I had to disappoint him: “The evidence is crummy,” I kept saying. “There’s a much simpler explanation.”

…

And yet there’s so much in real science that’s equally exciting, more mysterious, a greater intellectual challenge—as well as being a lot closer to the truth. Did he know about the molecular building blocks of life sitting out there in the cold, tenuous gas between the stars? Had he heard of the footprints of our ancestors found in 4-million-year-old volcanic ash? What about the raising of the Himalayas when India went crashing into Asia? Or how viruses, built like hypodermic syringes, slip their DNA past the host organism’s defenses and subvert the reproductive machinery of cells; or the radio search for extraterrestrial intelligence; or the newly discovered ancient civilization of Ebla that advertised the virtues of Ebla beer? No, he hadn’t heard. Nor did he know, even vaguely, about quantum indeterminacy, and he recognized DNA only as three frequently linked capital letters.

Yes. All the time.

The site design could be better though. Human brains don’t understand how insanely large those numbers are without a visualization.

Sure, but there’s no verification when calling a cab so you can use an alias if you want.

“people”, not “companies”. Given that he uses AI, he’s obviously ok with companies stealing it.

Most useful? Without a doubt, my laptop. The amount of things that can be done with a modern computer is pretty stunning, and a portable one is arguably more useful.

Other than that, maybe my car keys because the amount of things you can do with a car is stunning, but you need the keys to start it, and the car isn’t in this room.

Show your effective sshd server config: sudo sshd -T

If I understand the problem correctly it has a pretty simple solution that I have done before. Make a new partition on the destination and dd if=/dev/diskAsB of=/dev/diskXsY where A is the source disk and B is the source partition and X is the destination disk and Y is the destination partition. You may have to run fsck on the destination afterwards and maybe a gpt repair tool.

Honestly though, since it’s an ext filesystem, if it were me I’d just mount the source and dest and rsync.

While I don’t disagree with you, I think it’s a bit funny that you’re bringing up hardships using apt to update software in Debian when the biggest complaint about Ubuntu is having to use snap instead of apt.

Ubuntu is not terrible and if it works for you then fine. I would be surprised if Debian or Mint didn’t also work for you just as well though.

I had the same experience on my one gui Ubuntu machine. I also have several headless machines, and due to some shared libraries I always ended up with snapd installed even though none of the packages I was running were installed through snap. I always found it through the mount point pollution that snapd does.

Tail up!

That’s the way I shoot

Stank funk from my ass

I doubt they’re as worried about people covertly stealing their licenses code as they are about amazonish tactics where a competitor forks the codebase and takes a significant fraction of the users with them, or even just reuses the existing code to host a service, which means they don’t have to ship their modifications back upstream.

I’m not defending the decision, that’s just my experience with how this is usually justified.

It’s not a typo. The first section of the regex is a matching section, where a dot means “match any character”, and an escaped dot is a literal dot character. The second section is the replacement section, and you don’t have to escape the dot there because that section isn’t matching anything. You can escape it though if it makes the code easier to read.

rename is written in Perl so all Perl regular expression syntaxes are valid.

However, your comment did make me realize that I hadn’t escaped a dot in the third example! So I fixed that.

I have a really cute video of my 3 year old daughter chasing one of those through the mall.
