@nixCraft Editors...there are more of them than flavors of religion. We tend to stick with what works for us when we devoted the time to learn the weirdness unique to _that_ editor. For me it's DEC's TPU, that is EVE; only that's no longer an option for me. Now I'm wandering in the desert seeking a replacement. Nothing seems to measure up. WTF? Uninstall the Nightowl App, now. Spread the word. https://robins.one/notes/uninstall-the-nightowl-app-now.html @nixCraft One of many reasons why I have such excellent control over what comes in and goes out of my connection. I could easily stop this from communicating with it's C2 servers easily. I was able to do the same with Luminati/Bright Data by blocking their domains and DigitalOcean IPs. @nixCraft Should also clarify that this is NOT the NightOwl app that one would use with the NightOwl branded CCTV cameras.

@nixCraft "You plug in the cat5 cable right-" Looks down, "Oh I see you've already got one plugged in." Your first website is going to suck. TL;DR: Your first attempts may not be perfect, but keep trying. Perseverance is key.

@nixCraft To expand on this, "Comparison is the thief of joy." Don't rob yourself of the joy of creating something just because someone with years or decades of experience could "do it better". They walked in the same shoes as you did, the only way they got to where they are is because they didn't fear failure, they kept working hard, and most importantly they kept learning. Nobody is born a "natural". We all have to crawl before we walk and walk before we can run.

The first time this happened to me, I showed up to a formal event wearing sandals, a t-shirt proclaiming the greatness of Linux, and jeans. Despite my casual attire, I was allowed entry by the security team, who recognized me as being from the IT department and assumed I was there to ensure the computers were functioning properly. LOL. (1/2)

I have a love / hate relationship with nano. I love it because it is console based, and modeless unlike vi. I hate hate hate those default key bindings. Solved that issue with .nanorc customizations.

@nixCraft Get ready; Google Adsense, which is used by the majority of websites out there, is introducing a beta feature called Offerwall (Ad gate). https://support.google.com/adsense/answer/11913007 Once the threshold of 4 page views has been reached for any given user, the ad gate will appear everywhere. How generous of them and the website operators? Currently, this is optional, but it may become a permanent feature unless you turn off the ad blocker. #privacy #security YouTube is about to restrict views (beta test) to 3 videos per day, or you need to disable Adblocker or buy YT premium. The battle between content creator and Ad blocker user just escalated further. The whole Google-backed-up Ad industry is going nuclear for sure. It is not just Google, but all other players like FB, Insta, Twitter, and others restricting access to content unless you allow Ad viewing.

@nixCraft The real question is why wasn't Debian considered an "enterprise" distro all along? @nixCraft one day i will convince the world that ffmpeg is superior. so far it only makes people stop reading my messages. https://twitter.com/meowkoteeq/status/1671188068529844228

@nixCraft You get extra points if you typed that using an Android keyboard with autocorrect still switched on. |
@nixCraft She's right, that 's' was quite lonely. Good patch.
@nixCraft @alice
Not that I need to hear the @atpfm guys complain some more about Apple’s feedback/radar system… but this definitely made me think about their conversation(s)
