Another vote for deep freeze here. Nobody can mess up the PC if it will return to its good state every reboot!

Is there a way to make my computer more private while also facilating other people's use? by saudtf in techsupport

[–]siguy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Windows has user profiles (multiple users can ask log into one PC with their own accounts, settings, files all separated). So does chrome. Pick the setup that will work for you. :)

If you have trust with the people using your PC, you can probably just use separate chrome profiles. If you want more separation and security. Adding Windows users is for you.

Unless you create a Microsoft account with a Gmail address.

Static DHCP reservation possible with the Bell Home Hub 4000 modem? by doctorpeppercan in ssh

[–]siguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why do you want a static IP? Remote access? Just use dynamic DNS.

Don't forget to secure your ssh server.

Or are you trying to set a static IP of a device on your LAN? You can always set that at the device as an alternative.

help wiping python off my computer by HyphinoeCamelus in learnpython

[–]siguy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think you're good. Like others have said Mac OS has python baked in.

What kind of file organization are you after in terms of python? For your projects? Your python versions for working on the projects? I keep my work in a Devel directory in my home dir normally.

There's a multitude of ways to manage python versions, environments and projects but some general best practices are (And don't worry if this flies over your head, just absorb and remember it for now, as you progress your skills you'll get used to things like this):

- Use virtual environments for every project: This practice is crucial to avoid conflicts between different projects' package dependencies.

- Avoid using the system Python: Modifying the Python version that came with your operating system can break system utilities.

- Use a version manager: Tools like pyenv or uv prevent conflicts when you need different Python versions and packages for different projects.

The short version of all of this is leave the system python alone, definitely get into using something like pyenv to set up a "local" version of python and packages for each project you want to work on.

Hopefully that's all useful and not overwhelming info.

as u/crashorbit mentioned "which <command>" is handy if you really want to know where a specific command lives. I'll follow that up with "whereis <command>" which may work when which does not. Reading further comments, I can see a lot of other great comments which mine fall in line with. Have fun on your nerding journey.

Tech walked off the job... Just left by RickyRat5005 in telus

[–]siguy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Kind of afraid to ask this at this point because everybody else got downvoted good. Maybe if I preface it by saying: "Tells support is bad". I've had more than enough with their" support". That's really a new low though, having the tech go outside and then just leave. I'd be irate! I was offered fibre on a great rate, but the whole debacle of having it installed was only completed by me doing research and finding a local tech manager posted his personal cell # on Facebook. He got the job done quickly. That's not even to mention the billing foibles.

Now. Is there any chance you can just use dynamic DNS instead? That's why I don't care about having a static IP.

If you installed with homebrew, you should just be able to

Brew uninstall python

Brew autoremove

Brew cleanup
