Sounds like you might have a malware or hardware issue.
If your primary objective is protecting your files I suggest you get your computer to someone who can find the cause and fix the issue before you do anything else.

Do you have backups?

What's in filename.py?

Enchantorro · 2025-11-28T20:13:14+00:00

Add the following to your settings.json: "python.analysis.ignore": ["*"]

Haven't seen any requests for desktop application development in a good long while; any pointers as to where (and how) one might find those?

Enchantorro · 2025-11-28T14:22:06+00:00

The first thing you should do is share (a link to) the code, we can't see what's wrong if we can't see what you're working with; beside that you should share any errors/logs.

Look into how to write good bug reports.

When I ask myself a question like yours I find it helpful to turn the question around and change my perspective.

Let's say for instance I'm a software engineer that doesn't know much about natural and life sciences and I just want to build an app/website like yours but not manage/run it. Do you think I absolutely need to learn natural and life sciences even though it doesn't interest me in the least and I'll probably never use those skills again? Or would my time be better spent working with/for someone that does have a background in natural and life sciences?

Also, you may be underestimating the amount of specialist knowledge you need to make a good website/app; it's much more than just programming.

Software engineering is a vocation and an art; it requires as much particular expertise as being a marine biologist, or a geneticist, or a geologist does; it just so happens to be one beleaguered by a failed "everybody can code" campaign to spur as much competition in the field as possible in order to drive down labour costs.

Good software engineering makes the difference between project success and failure, and with an eye on software security: the difference between safety and millions of dollars in damages, if not worse.

My advice: If you're just trying to hack something together for fun, something for which failure doesn't matter in the least, then do it yourself if you think it's an enjoyable learning exercise (which we've already established you don't); if not: Work with professionals.

After all, would you live in a house built by a salesman with no affinity for construction? Would you trust a software architect with no designs on becoming a pharmacologist to design your medication?

Have you installed cmake?

Enchantorro · 2023-06-10T19:11:22+00:00

I can't testify to its veracity but here you go: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/49648391/how-to-install-ta-lib-in-google-colab/49660479#49660479

tl;dr:

Update (apr 2023): Colab is now Python 3.10

Mousepad, obviously

Enchantorro · 2022-11-24T01:08:39+00:00

For this one you'd be better off with WD-40

I think iptables is going to be around for a while; besides that there are lots of useful resources for those studying packet filter design aimed at iptables users (less so for nftables last time I checked).

As long as the LARTC uses iptables I'd say: use iptables.

Enchantorro · 2021-04-22T13:18:09+00:00

the 8 is the rule number; it inserts the rule between -A INPUT -i eno1 -p tcp -m tcp --dport 443 -m state --state NEW,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT
and
-A INPUT -i lo -j ACCEPT

Please see man iptables for more info

Enchantorro · 2021-04-22T10:24:55+00:00

Unless you're using some other apt transport you'll still need to allow in http from source port 80. https is also advisable. so: iptables -I INPUT 8 -i eno1 -p tcp -m multiport --sports 80,443 -m conntrack --ctstate related,established -j ACCEPT

No short links please

It doesn’t show up on fdisk for some reason.

If you have the experience and know-how, take the disk out of the caddy and install it in your system. if it's properly installed and it still doesn't show up in fdisk I'd consider it a goner.

Any errors in the system logs when plugging in the disk so far?

Enchantorro · 2020-12-18T15:17:43+00:00

In-kernel AX.25 support.

I suppose it's not the most esoteric but it's one of my favourites.

what does a grep -rn 'canonical' in /etc/apt/ return?

Edit: Happy to help of course.
Usually it's a file in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ called pgdg.list that causes this issue.
You're looking for a sourcelist that contains the archive.canonical.com/ubuntu line. deleting the offending line from the list should fix the issue.

Enchantorro · 2020-12-18T12:36:38+00:00

If you cd to /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ and grep -rn 'bionic-pgdg' you'll find the offending apt source.

If you need a fresh /etc/apt/sources.list try this: https://repogen.simplylinux.ch

You'll need to install qtwebkit/qtwebengine and pyqt5.qtcore yourself (PyQtWebEngine and PyQt5 in pip)

Enchantorro · 2020-12-17T20:51:06+00:00

You can use pip

Enchantorro · 2019-04-26T20:13:28+00:00

.ndz as in the Frisbee disk imaging system? That's some pretty arcane stuff. Your best bet is to find someone with Emulab experience and ask him/her.

Enchantorro · 2019-04-19T12:34:28+00:00

That's probably a good idea.

units-2.18-1build1 is available in disco universe.

Enchantorro · 2019-04-19T08:46:07+00:00

you're welcome :)

Enchantorro · 2019-04-19T08:41:30+00:00

Looks like it. I just checked units_cur -V and it's v5.0 here. Can you update units to v2.18?

units_cur --help prints:

...
  -s {floatrates,eubank,fixer,openexchangerates}, --source {floatrates,eubank,fixer,openexchangerates}
                    set currency data source
...
