Doesn’t matter, but they contradict themselves.

Headline: why isn’t everyone using it?
Body: This article breaks down what Linux is, why it’s great and how it secretly powers most of your favorite devices, from smartphones to servers.

So it looks like most everyone is using it, they just might not realize it. Which to me is a sign of a great product, when it’s use is completely transparent.

Honestly that’s a lot of windows users. I have to deal with it at work because we are ‘a microsoft shop’. Ughh. I am in a relationship that I cannot get out of, sort of an arranged marriage. Retirement can’t come soon enough.

Will make all the files in the path owned by you. Be careful if you have more complex permissions on there they will be lost.

This is where ACL permissions would help. He could give his new id ACL permissions to the files and that wouldn’t mess with the current permissions.

From the root/beginning subdir: sudo setfacl -R -m u:{replace with your new id}:rwx .

My distro had an update for cups, so I am guessing people are already on this. Pop Os is what I just loaded on this machine.

You don’t think I got this rich by writing checks, do you?

Secondly, I’d attempt to write a bash script to walk a directory tree, cat out files, pipe it through grep and get every instance where VirtualBox is mentioned in a file. Trying the name of proccess, or of the executable too.

Move to the top of the tree you want to search and do something like this:

find . -type f -exec grep -iH “virtualboxexecutable” {} ;

That will give you what you want without the need for a script. -type f makes the find command only search files, and -exec has it run the grep command on any files it returns with -iH giving you case insensitive results showing you the file it’s found in. Substitute ‘virtualboxexecutable’ with whatever the process name is that is being run. If you want to ignore binary files, the add in "| grep -iv “binary file matches” to the command. That will strip out any results where it has searched a binary file.

Does the uid you are using to run nginx have permissions to read the root folder (defined above as /var/www/html/partviewer/public , not the actual linux root) and below?

I just got an email about a new power supply board for the rpi5 - PD Power Extension Board for Raspberry Pi 5. It’s on their pihut website and is $20. Has multiple input types.

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.

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.

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:

I mean, what else do you use for entertainment in AIX.

I once accidentally deleted all of our production portal apps in AIX. That was entertaining…

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.

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.
