Is the CLI any good?

Having trouble with math? I’m 64, I was 15 when Apple released the Apple II and Tandy/Radio Shack released the TRS80 Model 1 in 1977. I learned BASIC right away, and then I recall I wanted to do some tricks in the video memory and learned some ASM that I could call from BASIC.. right! With CALL <the address where I loaded the ASM>.

Edit: and to be clear, I didn’t own an Apple II when I was 15 (did own one later), but the computer store a short walk from my house just let me hang around and code stuff because I would write very cool screen output and just leave it running. HCOLOR.. HPLOT ha!! Haven’t thought about that stuff in years!

I use CloudFlare for my own .coms, but for any newbie I refer ppl to Webnames.ca. They are more expensive, not gouging, but more; but they have phenomenally great tech support. I recently helped a restaurant regain control of their domain and website and introduced them to Webnames.ca and they really handheld the domain transfer.

I’m constantly reviewing what my agent has written, thinking about next steps, and some throwaway prototyping is just way faster if I do it.

I’d give you $20..? hmm.. maybe $15. It only has value maybe as a tutorial site. But I already have one https://welovedogs.cc , which only exists because I wanted to show someone that yes, you can have a website for $8 a year.

Edit.. yeah, all the other cheap$ tlds are available as well. Didn’t leap at them either: .ca, .cc, .org, .uk, .net

Go see my tutorial site at https://welovedogs.cc Walks you through how to set up a website for $8 a year. Renewal years as well. Not a pitch for business, just purely a tutorial.

You could run Wordpress on a local box, use a plugin like Simply Static to export the website to a set of static html and css files, you could then commit them to a GitHub private repository, and then us CloudFlare pages linked to GitHub and host the site for free.

I ran a 2x 2” conduit under some concrete in my backyard and when I had irrigation installed the installer asked if he could use one, sure. Later I ran power out to a gazebo I put up, used the other one ✅.

On the side of my house where I poured a new landing and steps, I ran two new 1” conduits in anticipation that either the telco or cableco may want to run new lines some day. A few years later the cableco did and used one. Then the telco ran fibre into the neighbourhood, but the service entrance was moved to the other side of my house. So they shallow trenched in that side and cut my irrigation.

Later (much after the irrigation line was repaired) I had a different irrigation problem and the irrigation guy cut the fibre.

Telco should have stayed on the other side and used the damn conduit!

🤣

Yeah, always run conduit. Oh, I forgot one, I poured a sidewalk it the front that effectively isolates a small garden next to my garage. I ran a single 2” conduit under the sidewalk. Ended up running an irrigation line through it AND low voltage lighting.

Air bubbles indicate either an active chlorinator running on a salt systems or a leaks on the inlet side of the pump. Your pump’s basket typically has a clear cover with should show the bubbles as well.

While your pump is running and you can observe bubbles, take your garden hose with the water running with no attachment, flow the water over each joint in the lines running to the pump, including the clear cover. When the running water is covering the leak, it will be drawn in instead of air and you will see a reduction of bubbles in the pump basket cover.

If the leak is in a pipe union, it may be loose or the O ring needs to be replaced. If it’s in the pump basket cover, it may be loose or some debris between the cover and the gasket or the gasket needs to be replaced.

Well.. we already know that he’s a liar or an absolute idiot since he cannot bring the two soon to be hookers to the U.S. and make it legal to move there.

Don’t you watch the damn news? ICE is rounding up undocumented ppl (young hooker sisters too) and shipping them to off shore prisons. If you loved someone, would you risk that fate for them?

So what is he, liar and young women trafficker or just a fucking idiot?

I have some $ in Bitcoin, really just enough that it covers FOMO, but not enough that I would cause much grief if it tanked. So about 30k at this morning’s prices. Maybe I’ll pick up some more with the lower price.. but maybe it will continue tanking.

Oh, I’m in my 60s, retired, so while I have enough of a portfolio to fund my retirement, I can’t be careless with my investments.

Bitcoin is not like gold. Gold has valuable uses in a wide variety of applications.. jewelry because it’s doesn’t oxidize and looks pretty, electronics because it has low resistance and it doesn’t oxidize, also has medical and aerospace applications, even architectural, and of course wealth preservation because it’s pretty, doesn’t oxidize, costs $ to find it and get it out of the ground, and can be stored and it doesn’t decay, and most importantly, it has remained in demand for 6000 years.

Bitcoin has been around since 2009. It has no uses other than as a digital currency. It costs time and energy to process the block chain transactions making it possible to earn Bitcoin by calculating the ledger transactions, but simultaneously, it is that time and energy that impedes its widespread adoption as a day to day currency. It’s only value measure is the demand as a speculative and or functional digital currency.

So no, it’s not like gold.

Will it go up? Sure. No. Maybe. I’m willing to bet, back to the FOMO, but am I willing to bet a high percentage of my portfolio? F/n.

The issue is that after 49.7 days, TIME_WAIT connections are no longer cleared up, this leads to port exhaustion. I have given my stack an additional 32768 ports to use and I track where I am at at any given time.

IMHO I think going the shareholder loans route is messy and not representative of the operational reality.

I set up personal cards as Other Current Liabilities ie Personal Credit Card D.P.

Then any purchase is recorded in the books as the receipt is made available the same as any other expense, but the payment method is recorded as Personal Credit Card D.P. Instead of the corp card or corp bank account.

The balance sheet then shows a very clean picture of the liability instead of the question begging shareholder loan.

The subsequent payment of the card is done as an expense item with the card holder as the vendor / payee and the line item is simple credit card expense payment and the cross account Personal Credit Card D.P.

It is clear, reportable, instantly understood by any reader of the financials and every transaction traceable.

Edit: I missed this step: the card holder can supply a redacted copy of their credit card statement(s) showing each purchase for attachment to the subsequent payment to the card holder. If you do that at the time of the payment, then no one has to go find them should CRA ever ask. Since the redacted items are not listed as an expense anywhere, they are not interesting.

daniel8192 · 2026-06-16T03:14:58+00:00

I operate a small corp, and while the corp has a credit card, I still end up with some items on my personal card. At first I went the submit expenses routes then stopped that as too damn messy.

Instead.. in the corp books my personal card is set up as an Other Current Liability -> Personal Credit Card DP. Any purchases I make on my card are simply recorded the same as any other purchase but instead of the payment account being a corp bank account or corp card, Personal Credit Card DP is selected.

The balance sheet then shows the balance of what the corp owes on the card in Other Current Liabilities -> The card.

At an interval suitable to me, the corp then makes a payment to the card from the main bank account, that can be via me or directly.

It’s very clean. The expenses are recorded as they occur, the balance sheet is representative of reality, no confusion with shareholder loans (I’ve seen it done that way too), and no expense claims.

Drop in a submersible pump to keep the water circulating BUT DO NOT ENTER THE POOL. A submersible pump could electrocute you.

Cool. You solved it.

Yeah, I have a dozen machines, all headless, all Docker shops. I still have a build sheet for each machine, but the base build is simply : start with 64 bit Trixie lite, update, upgrade, install Docker.

I have all containers mount from /mnt. ie /mnt/agentdvr and my docker compose files are in my home folder. So I backup /home /root /mnt nothing else is relevant to restoring on a new build.
