one day i will convince the world that ffmpeg is superior.

so far it only makes people stop reading my messages. twitter.com/meowkoteeq/status/

A Twitter user named @meowkoteeq claims that ffmpeg is a better tool and implies that it may distract people from checking their personal messages. The tweet features a screenshot of a direct message, showing that one can execute a lengthy but straightforward ffmpeg command in the terminal to accomplish specific tasks.

@nixCraft You get extra points if you typed that using an Android keyboard with autocorrect still switched on.

@nixCraft i love using ffmpeg to convert a game audio track with 4 mono channels to a stereo channel track dropping the last 2 channels

You can press up-arrow or down-arrow to walk through a list of previous commands in most modern shells like bash, tcsh, fish, zsh and others in #Linux / #FreeBSD / #macOS/ #Unix. Another option is to hit CTRL+R & type the command to recall. See:
help history
man bash
man fish
man zsh

This is a meme about recalling a command in a command line interface. You can do this by either typing the command or using the "up" arrow key until the command appears in the terminal window. The choice is yours.

@nixCraft all are white, all are able-bodied, there is at best one female person. This picture is part if the problem for sure.

I'm not surprised at all. Brute Fail: Watch brute force SSH attacks fail in real time brute.fail/. Hence, I suggest reading my OpenSSH best security practices guide for #Linux, #FreeBSD, and #Unix cyberciti.biz/tips/linux-unix- to secure your server against these bots. #infosec #security #sysadmin

I remember seeing Scott and other random names in my alerts send by Fail2Ban and I always wondered: who were these people that they appear in those brute force lists?

@nixCraft My SSH server only listens to the VPN, so first of all one needed to compromise my VPN.

This old comic from turnoff us reminds me of current AI wars. turnoff.us/geek/smart-windows/

From Washington GET newspaper:
Microsoft is investing heavily in artificial intelligence. 

From NY HACKES:
Windows 11 will be released with AI embedded.

While installing Windows 11 AI edition, you get a hint from the system:

Anyone remembering Siri recommending Nokia when asked what the best mobile phone is?

Channeling the Enterprise Security Architect vibe...

Don't you know that somebody might rEplAcE filEs oR aDd a kEy?? Are you committed to security at all??

@nixCraft public keys managed with an initialization Ansible role.

I've tried ssh certs, but it's more annoying to manage for my setup so far

@nixCraft I use pubkey(mainly) or password+totp(for emergency reason)

Don't you have a pointless meeting to schedule?

@nixCraft if you start the meeting by blasting all the useless people with a phaser at max output then the meeting will end up with everybody in agreement and it will be pretty productive.

@nixCraft

A meeting whose only agenda item is to schedule future meetings? Why sure! :eyeroll:

Had I decided to be a manager I probably would have a pointless meeting to schedule.

Fortunately, having developed a disdain for pointless meetings, I chose a different career path.

That's neat :-) The TikZ package is quite powerful. I think I have been using \LaTeX for quite a few decades. I used to typeset The Journal of the Royal Society of NSW in it for many years. Was a lot more pleasant than using MS Word :-) I was chuffed when I made a LaTeX package for cave maps. It's my only one though: ctan.org/pkg/scalebar?lang=en

@nixCraft fwd @samcarter@fosstodon.org: just in case you didn't see that one yet :)

@nixCraft My first attempt to install Linux, intent was to dual boot, was Red Hat 5.1 and I did exactly that.

I got 5.2 installed properly a bit later.
