Schön, dass es hin und wieder auch gute nachrichten gibt.

Sounds illegal, though…

‘whoami’ and ‘who am i’ are two different things. Try it out.

Something like this?

alias ls=“who am i >> /var/log/intruder.log && logout”
alias l=“/usr/bin/ls”

I think, on a personal Linux desktop, more damage is done by malicious browser extensions than by actual viruses or root kits. So you could classify it as social engineering, maybe.

Den Unterschied zwischen einer einigermassen wohlformulierten oder auch nur fehlerfreien Bewerbung und KI-Gefasel sollten die HRs aber schon bemerken, finde ich.

Hast du deine Bewerbung von jemandem, dessen Deutsch besser ist als das deine, korrigieren lassen? Rechtschreib- oder Grammatikfehler können die Entscheidungen der HR Leute negativ beeinflussen.

Ist das der start der wahlkampagne ‘Musk 2028?’

Oh wow, I didn’t know that one. Which area is it from?

Du meinst sicher ‘Herdöpfelstöcken’ oder ‘Häpperenstöcken’ oder einfach ‘Zement’.

SUSE Linux, back in the 1990s. Because you could buy it for cheap, and you got not only the huge stack of floppy disks to install it from, but also a set of thick fat detailed handbooks (these things made from paper full of pictures and letters and glued together, like your grandparents may have had). I spent many nights with them books instead of my wife…

It was a bear to install and terribly complicated to configure back then; at least for me. But in the end, I had a nice server running well for a while.

Back in the mid 2000s, we (my company) were on Windows, including three Windows 2000 Server licences. And we needed to upgrade. But it wasn’t sustainable for the small company to pay for all these licences, when a free option was available.

So we slowly moved all applications over to cross-platform alternatives, Outlook to Thunderbird (called Firebird in those days), office to OpenOffice (now LibreOffice), Internet Explorer to Firefox, Corel Draw to Gimp, Company software like accounting to a XAMPP stack etc.

Once this was established and running well, we just changed the underlying platform from Windows to Ubuntu/Gnome, cursed for a few days and went on with our lives. And it worked for the past 20 years and counting. Now I am cursing, when I am forced to use Windows and can’t find my butt using it.

So the mindset, if you want, was that of methodical planning and going slow, step by step. This is likely different if you’re a gamer, or you need some very specialised apps, but for me, this was not the case. The games that I play, like Sudoku and Solitaire, work on any platform.

I wonder whether Linux Mint will follow suit?

Mine is simple (inspired by Kali Linux, if that’s even correct)
PS1='\[\033[0;32m\]┌──[\t] (\u@\h)-[\w]\n└─$ \[\033[0m\]'

Interesting: I live in Asia, and I can opt out too, so thanks!

Solange der Inhaltsstoff korrekt auf der Verpackung deklariert ist, gibt es dagegen ja nichts einzuwenden.

Very helpful command it was for those, whose modem had to be rebooted daily back in the day: Have a cron-job open the tray, which in turn was placed strategically so that it would hit the reset button of the modem, then close the tray. And voilà; automatic reboot of the modem. Robotics at its finest!

Apart from fzf that helps me find recently used commands and also files and directories easily, I also use tldr that gives you a simple cheat sheet for every command and very often saves you trawling through endless man pages.

I use external hard drives. Two of them, and they get rsynced every time something changes, so there’s a copy if one drive should fail. Once a month, I encrypt the whole shebang with gpg and send it off into an AWS bucket.

Terminator for me. It has tiles and tabs and does everything I need.
