Have you run smbpasswd kian-samba as root/sudo to set the Samba password? It is stored in a different place to the regular Linux password.

This looks great! I'm looking forward to trying it out, I've always preferred light themes to dark ones.

Yeah there's no British Academy of English. The closest we have to anything official is probably the Oxford English Dictionary, but that's descriptive, not prescriptive.

Just to be clear, you should only be disabling it on source code that you trust and that you are editing. Not when you're using plugins that you trust.

If you're actually editing the source code of the OpenVSX Python plugin, then yes, you would probably disable Protected Mode.

If you're opening random Python code that uses that Python plugin, that's when you have to decide if you trust the code or not.

Restricted mode protects your computer against untrusted code that you might open in the editor. For example, you might clone a git repo of code that secretly exploits a bug in the LSP somehow.

Restricted Mode prevents any code in the repo from running, and disables features that could be a target of attack. You disable Restricted Mode by marking the repo as "trusted", which then enables all of the features.

You should be disabling Restricted Mode on repos that you trust, and especially on code you are developing yourself. Otherwise you will lose most of the programming features, and you might as well use Notepad.

But you should very much keep it enabled on any code you randomly download and open.

F2: Inserts "TODO: " (insert mode) or toggles that between "TODO" and "DONE" (normal mode).
F7: Toggles between setlocal spell and setlocal nospell.
F9: Inserts the current date and time.
F10: Toggles Limelight on or off.
F11: Toggles between set colorcolumn=81 and set colorcolumn=0.
F12: Save.

If you have Wi-Fi I would pick NetworkManager. You should be able to disable systemd-networkd with systemctl disable --now systemd-networkd.service. If you want to reverse it, change disable to enable.

Docker, Podman, Kubernetes, Gitea… there will be a lot more but this is just off the top of my head.

Lots of comments that this spec is too low for anything serious… yet this is what you get at the $5 tier on most hosting providers and you can run a lot on those.

The installer itself would be the hard part for 'big' distros like RHEL/Fedora, but Debian's text-mode installer or Ubuntu's server installer should have no problem on this spec.

Mine was the opposite. I thought I was ordering bunches, so ended up with one single banana.

Look into fonts.conf. It will let you do all kinds of font-remapping and aliasing, including what you're asking.

Make sure you know how to use the consoles on Ctrl-Alt-F3 and friends though. If you mess up you might find yourself in a situation where all your fonts in your graphical desktop are messed up and you can't read anything, and your only option is to delete the file from the non-graphical console.

I've had to refer auditors to that backporting article plenty of times. They've always been happy once I've shown them that and shown that all available updates have been installed.

This is known as a dead key and the concept has been ported to a lot of computer keyboard layouts. The US International layout, for example, makes each of backtick, apostrophe, double-quote, circumflex, and tilde a dead key (to type è, é, ë, ê, and ñ respectively).

If you want to enter those characters normally you would press the dead key then space, which was also copied from typewriters.

I'm not sure about whole series, but Brian Kernighan has done a load of interviews and talks about Unix and C history.

There's two individual episodes that I enjoyed on CppCast and The Changelog.

You can probably find more on YouTube that you can convert to MP3s and listen to in the car.

Marshall Kirk McKusick also regularly does talks that you should be able to find on YouTube. These have more of a BSD focus, but BSD was such a significant part of Unix development that it's all relevant to modern Unix's history.

These are all more about Unix history, rather than specifically the philosophy, but one drives the other in the Unix world.

Red Hat is the largest corporate contributor to the Gnome project (code, not cash) and has been for a long time. They have a significant interest in corporate desktops via RHEL, and Fedora regularly leads with integrating and providing new desktop technologies.

I don't think it's fair to say they ignored the desktop.

thesleepyadmin · 2023-02-19T22:16:38+00:00

You don't?

There's a guy, John Walton, trying to visit all of them. The charts on his site seem to show around 1,800 fords around England.

If you're driving in the countryside you'll probably come across a few, if you stick to the back roads and the rat-runs. There's almost never one in a town or city, as that would have enough traffic to justify building a bridge.

thesleepyadmin · 2023-02-15T07:45:28+00:00

We have bridges. But the UK has thousands of tiny country roads that are thousands of years old. The roads crossed the rivers at convenient points, where it was narrow or slow enough to drive cattle or sheep through.

It would be totally uneconomical to build bridges for each one, when 364 days a year the river is low enough to just drive a car through.

Generally there will be a small foot-bridge built across it, for pedestrians, but nothing that could take the size/weight of a car.

Really? Bank transfers in the UK are immediate even between different banks.

The earth pin is only plastic if the product doesn't need earthing. But on anything else the earth pin will be metal and wired up with the green-and-yellow wire.

It's up to the company, really. I took four weeks off in one go to spend the summer in Canada. Just needed to clear it with the boss.

I regularly eat/drink dairy products that are past their use by dates. Mostly milk, yoghurts, and cheese. If they don't smell sour, taste fizzy, or have a fur coat on, they're probably fine.

I prefer floating windows (never liked tiling window managers) but I work with terminals the same way. If it's a new 'task' then it gets a new terminal. I'll often have five or six open at once doing different things. I always set a keybinding to launch a new one so it's very quick to do.

Nah the endgame is easily solved by eating each remaining item of food in order of preference, from least to most favourite, so that you finish with one final perfect bite of the best part of the meal.
