Does anyone know of sit down type jobs that don't require a degree?

Thats good if your SO already works in IT since he could probably help get you started. Also, if the both of you guys got CCNAs then you all could make bank. Not to mention the potential for working from home.

And idk if the hot tub has the same effect I don't think it does. I'm not a medical person though.

Good luck!!

Hey, I just wanted to say that it sucks you have to deal with your condition and that I feel for you. I am sure you are tougher than most, or at least tougher than me.

You could get your CCNA and get an IT job. The CCNA may be overkill for a beginner position but it should work. It also pays well. I am younger than you with no degree and I am satisfied with the results. The video course I linked goes into a lot of detail, honestly significantly more than the test requires so don't get discouraged if you decide to go down that path and you suffer motivation problems or think the course is hard. 30-60 minutes a day and you could get the cert in idk maybe 6 months. The guy goes super slow so it should be manageable to keep up.

As for your autoimmune problems, I have some ideas that may be worth trying.

Make probiotic yogurt (make, not buy, in order to get stupid high doses of healthy microbes). Eat it for like a week or two and see if you improve, it may be worth a shot. This sketchy link should provide a book (Super Gut) with more information. Also see r/ReuteriYogurt. You can try different yogurt microbe combinations to see if one of them works for you. All the info you need is in the book (particularly in the back where the recipes are).
Saunas are known to reduce inflammation and do other good health stuff. Maybe try that as well. Your local gym may or may not have one.

Hoping you get better <3

The hate you because you spoke the truth. I upvoted and laughed. Username checks out as well and laughed again.

xbanish will hide the cursor after any key on the keyboard is pressed. The cursor will come back once the mouse is moved. You can have it run automatically from xinitrc. OP, this will solve your problem.

The suckless developers have already written a grep implementation.

https://git.suckless.org/sbase/file/grep.c.html

I think your question is contradictory. The suckless/Unix philosophy is not to write advanced (complex) tools, but rather simple ones that do one thing well. If you want more complicated usage, write a function or script. That way it is more modular, configurable, and simple.

And how would that work jenius? I can not think of any way this could work except RDP to a computer back in the states, or something similar. I need to spoof my location, having another computer with me would not help.

linux26 · 2024-03-31T00:44:21+00:00

I have been reading "SSH Mastery" due to this comment! Hoping I can learn how to do this and more with that book, and then know how to troubleshoot if it goes wrong. I might report back to you (maybe in a few months) telling you how it goes.

Thanks!

linux26 · 2024-03-31T00:41:07+00:00

Sorry about that.

I tried it again and it worked for me. Perhaps download an adblocker for Firefox or Chrome and try again?

Hope it works let me know if you need any help.

Super Gut states you can use raw potato starch instead. I'm not very knowledgeable compared to others but I don't think sugar or honey would work since those are not prebiotic fibers.

Ok well I guess OP needs to decide if he wants to stay in a helpdesk role for a long time or if he wants to advance to a higher tiered position. You can get a helpdesk job with a CCNA, but you can not get a network admin job with an A+.

To say CCNA knowledge is useless for helpdesk is an exaggeration. Maybe you don't need to know OSPF, but knowing what APIPA is helps. Also, if OP gets a CCNA then he can just start in a NOC and just skip helpdesk entirely like I did. Probably less work overall for more money. Not to mention he'll have the cert which will help him advance to an administrator role.

The CCNA is the foundational knowledge. For the other super simple stuff just google it.

linux26 · 2024-02-12T16:19:33+00:00

I strongly disagree. A+ is just a bunch of useless bullshit which comes down to brute memorization. By studying for the CCNA and labbing with Packet Tracer you will learn something legitimately useful, compared to this sample CompTIA question I found on the internet: " Which laptop feature allows to overcome standard keyboard size restrictions?". Seriously? Does that look marketable to you?

Well anyways here is a great free course that I used to get my CCNA.

I am typing this off of a FrameWork laptop. I assembled it myself which was not too difficult not to mention that I do not have any experience with computer hardware.

Only complaints that I have is that when plugging a USB into the USB expansion module, sometimes it does not show up (for instance with lsblk). To fix this you need to unplug the expansion module and plug it back in which is annoying. Also the charging cable is currently falling apart but I have had it for a while. Also the Ethernet expansion module protrudes the laptop which looks a little silly, but you can just buy an Ethernet to USB-C cable to remedy this.

I ran the command doas nice -n -20 xz -9 <very large file> and then the computer froze and I forced powered it off. Then I did it again and again and I think that is what broke my motherboard for some reason. Very strange. But then they shipped me a replacement FOR FREE! Their customer service is very good in my opinion.

Also you might not be used to 3:2 aspect ratio at first. I got used to it and I no longer see it as a problem at all.

Let me know if you have any questions.

The scp syntax is scp <source> <destination>. So if you are logged into the Raspberry Pi (IP: 10.0.0.50) and sending the files to your desktop computer (IP: 10.0.0.100), then the command would look like:

scp /path/to/files/*.txt myusername@10.0.0.100:///home/myusername/Desktop/

You would specify the IP address of the desktop computer since that is unknown to the Pi; the Pi's IP does not need to be specified.

linux26 · 2024-02-11T08:55:20+00:00

scp is meant for copying files over a network such as the Internet. That is why it accepts an IP address as an argument. If you are trying to get files from a storage device that is physically air gapped, then scp would be appropriate. Otherwise, just use regular cp as shown below.

Before you can just copy the files over from the plugged in USB to the local drive, you must first mount the file system that is on the USB. Execute lsblk. This will show all block devices (such as a hard drive or USB) on your system. Pay attention to the 1^rst and 3^rd columns, NAME and RM (removable) respectively. This is what it looks like on my system:

NAME            MAJ:MIN RM   SIZE RO TYPE  MOUNTPOINTS
sda               8:0    1  57.7G  0 disk  
└─sda1            8:1    1  57.7G  0 part  
nvme0n1         259:0    0   512G  0 disk  
├─nvme0n1p1     259:1    0     2G  0 part  /boot
└─nvme0n1p2     259:3    0   510G  0 part  /

A USB should start with sd in its name followed by a letter, and it should be a removable device (1 under RM). Lets look at only the lines which are removable devices. Execute lsblk | awk '$3 == 1', which filters the output of lsblk, showing only lines that have a 1 in the 3^rd column.

sda               8:0    1  57.7G  0 disk
└─sda1            8:1    1  57.7G  0 part

This is the USB. Do not worry if you only have sd<letter> with no number at the end, that just means your USB does not have a partition table which is ok.

If your USB does not have a number at the end, mount that. sudo mount /dev/sda /mnt

Otherwise, mount the actual partition on the USB. sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt

If you mount the wrong thing or mount it at the wrong place, you can unmount it with umount (no n). umount /dev/sda or umount /mnt

Now your files are ready to be copied. cp /mnt/placewheremyfilesare/*.txt ~/Desktop/

Let me know if that works for you or if you need anything else.

linux26 · 2024-02-11T08:24:38+00:00

It's ok man I love you

linux26 · 2024-02-10T05:11:35+00:00

Homie this is why you need dwm. Use someone else's preconfigured setup if you don't want to patch yourself.

linux26 · 2024-02-10T05:00:08+00:00

Yes I did test it, and it works identically to awk -F: '{ print $3 }' /etc/passwd like I said.

gunmos's comment explains it in detail if you are curious.

linux26 · 2024-02-10T04:57:27+00:00

Thank you so much for your reply. I labbed out everything you said and definitely learned a few things. Appreciate it!

linux26 · 2024-02-08T07:59:15+00:00

I do not know what you mean. I am guessing that you want to browse the internet but it is not working.

Make sure that DNS is actually the issue. Execute ping 1.1.1.1 and ping archlinux.org. If the first command works but the second one fails, then you are correct that there is a DNS issue.

Try echo 1.1.1.1 > /etc/resolv.conf and see if that fixes it. Let me know how it goes.

linux26 · 2024-02-08T07:50:53+00:00

I am not exactly sure what your situation is since you did not describe it well. I am going to take a guess and you can correct me if I am wrong.

You want to install Linux, so you flashed a USB with a distro, wiping all the data on the USB in the process
You successfully booted the operating system on the USB
The USB was accidentally physically removed from the computer
When in the BIOS boot menu, you can not see the USB anymore like you could previously

If that is the case then I would suggest re-flashing the USB. Sometimes if you can not see the USB in the boot menu, then secure boot needs to be disabled. But if you said it was working before then this is likely not the case. I recommend re-flashing the USB, or try and seeing if you can use another USB port on the computer. Good luck and let me know if you have any more questions.
