I find Croc to be rather just good for this.

Are you sure it was arson? I hear they just do that sometimes 😆

In case you’re wondering, the correct response was:

I’m sorry. My country is overrun with fascists and Nazis and I’m horrified by the threats to your nation’s sovereignty that manchild of a president is making. He does not speak for me, and I appreciate that you would decide not to spend money in a country that’s actively threatening your family.

You know, for the next time you feel the urge to defend a government that demonstrably doesn’t care about you or anyone else.

I’ve stopped buying from Steam on account of their country threatening to annex mine. GOG is looking good though.

Philosophy Tube recently did a great video on exactly this. It’s on Nebula for those who subscribe.

I couldn’t watch it. I tried, but that dude is too annoying.

I’d forgotten about Tasker. I’ll give that a try, thanks!

Woah, you can configure a website as a share target? How do I do that?

Pocket will fill in a pinch, but it’s a very specific use cases and I’m looking for something more general. For example, it’d be nice to write something that accepts location data from Google maps and dumps it on a database for plotting later if something. I’m looking for a general tool that lets me be creative with my phone :-)

Looking at it now, they haven’t linked to the source code anywhere so… yeah I wouldn’t trust it.

This looks really cool actually. I’ve created an account. Thanks for sharing!

Now I just have to find a #solarpunk “pub” :-)

Sure, but what you “get done” on your own is statistically irrelevant. To achieve useful, measurable success in the fight against climate change, collective action must be taken at scale. That’s government.

I’ve used pdfkit to considerable success. It has a few system-level dependencies, but the instructions are pretty straightforward:

# apt-get install wkhtmltopdf
$ pip install pdfkit

Is this part 2 of 3 or part 2 of 2?

This has strong Alfur energy.

I’ve been using Linux for 25 years. I started with SuSe, switched to RedHat after a couple months, and after a few more months switched to Gentoo… for 10 years, then did Arch for the remainder.

Frankly, I think that distro hopping is a bad idea because it means you don’t get enough time really understanding how to fix things. As a long time Arch user, it would never occur to me to throw out 10+years of tooling and scripts, muscle memory and shorthand to fix a driver issue. I would read the wiki top to bottom and then go spelunking through other sources until I find the solution (then update the wiki) before I’d switch to something foreign with its own set of problems and unknowns.

My advice is to find a distro that makes sense to you, and that has a deployment pattern you like and commit to it for a few years. Don’t switch unless you find something that fulfills those two requirements even better, and even then do so cautiously. Your experience and understanding is hard-won.

Ooh! I have something for this.

This is pretty slick, but doesn’t this just mean the bots hammer your server looping forever? How much processing do you do of those forms for example?

Also Ctrl+D to exit any shell and Ctrl+R for reverse searching your history!

Just be careful with files with spaces in the name. There’s an incantation with xargs that I always have to look up when I want to use it safely.
