Alright, network wizards and packet-pushing sysadmins! Feeling brave this November? I dare you, double-dog dare you, to take the No NAT November challenge! Can you handle the raw, unadulterated terror of the public internet without your trusty NAT to hide behind? Will your Linux and Unix/Windows servers survive the exposure? Will your routers spontaneously combust? Only one way to find out! Ditch the NAT, embrace the chaos, and let's see if you make it to December in one piece! π

What's the first rule of Vim fan club? You must know at least 5 different ways to exit Vim. But you'll still somehow manage to get stuck. π Google is preparing to let you run Linux apps on Android, just like Chrome OS - Google is developing the framework to let you run Debian in a virtual machine on your Android device https://www.androidauthority.com/android-linux-terminal-app-3489887/ Phone Upgrade 101 * Get a phone. Ignore the hype by Apple/Google/Samsung and co.

@nixCraft so they die sooner now. and rebirth with a custom rom is not that straightforward and some vendors don't allow unlocking bootloader. :( also companies like purism, system76, tuxedo probably don't know of existence of third world countries. general irl public don't even know what those brands are.

@nixCraft speaking of animal names, I can't seem to find package python3-numba on Noble Numbat and this combination of strings is being frustratingly difficult to Google for

@nixCraft cutting down costs in prevision of the revenue loss from Google paying Mozilla to make Google itβs default browser, caused by the defeat from Google on court on a antitrust case, brought by the Departement of Justice of the United States of America. Sadly, Mozilla didnβt cut on AI crap. @nixCraft If I had to guess, they wanted a stake in the ground in case there were monetisation opportunities. There were none. Ah, the joy of using #linux π welcome to the dark side, we have cookies. https://x.com/saltyaom/status/1832329529580515714?s=46 @nixCraft I installed arch once just to see if I could and I could without much trouble. well... on my SECOND go, on the first one I forgot to install the network drivers so I had no internet access at all and couldn't do anything anymore haha OMG. I did i with a tutorial π yay -S network-manager-applet and added "exec-once = nm-applet --indicator" to my hyprland .conf

@nixCraft@mastodon.social FFmpeg taking the piss out of sound wave is the best kind of internet irony i could have hoped for today Nothing unites Linux users like a heated debate (or as I call it 'holy war') about systemd or the merits of their favorite distro. It's a love-hate relationship that keeps the community passionate and the flame wars burning bright every day. π #linux #opensource

@nixCraft Windows just keeps getting ever worse because nobody screams - "Stop. This is bad". I dumped Windows back when XP was still around. There has been no version of Windows that hasn't been bad in some way or another. I went from XP to OSX to Linux. I've used Linux exclusively for most of the past 10 years. @nixCraft and that, my friends, is the event that starts the year of the Linux desktop. 01. #Linux users open your terminal (you must have ffmpeg package installed). 02. Type the following bash command for i in {100..1000..100}; do ffplay -f lavfi -i "sine=frequency=${i}:duration=0.1" -autoexit -nodisp -loglevel quiet; done 03. Enjoy!

@nixCraft 1980 for me was a lot closer to 1Mhz/1Kb where did they get all that ram from? Even Bill Gates didnβt need more than 640K For me it greatly depends on how much I care about what I'm doing. If I don't care too much, I prefer GUI. If I care, I prefer CLI. @nixCraft It is because the command line is stable and does not change all the time. GUIs also generally lack consistency and modularity. It could be different in theory. i don't know why GUIs arre so bad and need to be change all time. Friend: what languages do you know? Me: perl, Python, bash, c, asm, cobol and java Friend: Me: Friend: me: you meant like speaking???!

@nixCraft I've always felt that the number of programming languages doesn't count, it's the depth of knowledge in them that counts. The person who knows one language perfectly well is more powerful than the one who knows the surface level knowledge of them all. The jack of all trades should be atleast master of one. Took me several language hops to realise it. @nixCraft I can also speak in formal languages; that is, predicate, first-order, and second-order logic-and by speak, I mean read like how an archaeologist would read Egyptian hieroglyphics or Old Chinese.

@nixCraft It was a joke API, but that was secondary to it being a do-nothing syscall, useful for measuring system call overhead.

@nixCraft Stop complaining, you're holding it wrong!
