Yup, people have proven time and time again that they are willing to give up privacy for something simple like convenience. So as tech progresses so will the deterioration of any privacy we may have left.

Did some LLM put together minor and report and decide it was a minority report?

Same. I also have an old Backbox distro that I used daily for years and every once in a while fire it back up for shits and giggles.

That’s brilliant.

FYI, you don’t need to either on linux. Look up sudo.

Maybe a little primitive, but I copy my .bash_history file to a folder with a dated name every afternoon using a cron job. Then I can just grep that for commands I know I ran in the past. ‘sort -fu’ will remove the duplicates in the results.

No worries. I thought it was funny.

Must have been Bush… I think the word you were looking for was precedent.

That’s exactly how I ended up with a steam account. Bought a Civ V cd and the game isn’t on the cd, just an installer for steam and a key.

Same here. My Dad has been using Mint for years now, and wouldn’t know what to do in the command line. He gets on, does what he needs to do, and it just works for him.

I will take a look, thanks! And I got a huge ad right at the top of the page, how apropos.

There used to be lynx. Oh look, it’s still being maintained. Not sure how well it works though, might have to try it out:

Well damn. Isn’t that just ripe.

Not sure if you can use rust to write browser plugins, but I really want a plugin that when you right click a link, you have to option to open the link with javascript disabled. Chrome or Firefox.

You have to escape the quotes…

“2\“x4\”” or use differing quotes ‘2"x4"’

Set up a cron job to run every hour that deletes them if they are older than 60 mins. Eg:
0 * * * * find /var/tmp -type d -mmin +60 -exec rm -rf {} ;

I only have experience with Bitbucket, and absolutely none if this may be applicable to you, but we have to generate a key with certain parameters (a minimum) for them to work, and the public key has to be input into a field on your account. So while you do not need to “provide” a username to perform git commands, it is set up in your account as your private key. The command to gen the key is: ssh-keygen -t rsa -m PEM -b 4096 -C “your.email@domain.com”

Once you put your public key into your bitbucket account, using that key will mark all changes you make to you. Is this what you are talking about or am I just off in left field?

Son, is that you? I had a linux machine setup for my kids with a reverse proxy. I let them have a handful of websites that were whitelisted and they could go directly to. Everything else was off limits unless I ok’ed it and added it to the list. It still boggles my mind at the scoffs I would receive from other parents, and even my spouse at the time.

The Box III Signature Edition.

Mine falls along with the people who were distracted. Was doing two deployments for work on night and on one I need to clear a cache. As I was typing the cd command, I happened to glance at the instructions for the other deployment and for some reason my mind switched to the deployment folder. I then typed out rm -rf *, and as I hit return realized I wasn’t in the cache subdir. Blew away our prod environment and it took hours to get it all restored. The restore kept asking the guy to go pull tape #xxx. It was nerve wracking because depending on the tape, there was a chance it was moved offsite. Got it all restored and turned it back on, and then had to start back from the beginning since the backup was from the night before. The other people doing deployments weren’t too happy, but I owned up immediately and we ended up changing the procedure. First, the cache clearing was done via a script after that, and I won my argument about not having to do two deployments simultaneously!
