Right. Yeah I didn’t engage my brain on the & initially as i thought it was just a typo. But that should work, seems others on the internet think the same.

I like ‘exec startx’, but really if someone has physical access, unless you are doing a lot of other security, you can’t be safe.

If you switch to the VT with Ctrl-Alt-F1, and hit ctrl-z the process is suspended, but does not complete so it never gets to the exit.

At least that is my suspicion. I’m going to try it when I’m in front of a machine.

Joke’s on you. Ctrl-Alt-F1 Ctrl-z.

Vic 20 was my first. I watched my dad struggle with and eventually give up on assembly. Something-something and the microbots. I was fearful of it until I took Assembly at Uni. That 2nd/3rd year class was where the final puzzle piece of how computers work fell in place for me.

My first job was writing assembly tests for a DSP hardware design team. Fell in love. Never looked back.

Could probably replace managers with AI, but being trained on most managers would mean it would be equally bad at its job.

I think the most likely is for the artists jobs to go away as art doesn’t have to be exact, but code does.

Finding a good client is hard. Folks recommend the Nvidia Shield Pro. Finding something that plays all the formats and can pass audio through hdmi to a AV receiver. Umcompressed HD audio, HDR/10/DolbyVision. Etc.

If I can just pop a debian machine down, that is great, but a hardware guide would be nice to see.

(In the US) divedends are taxed as ordinary income. REITs are required to disburse their profits to the shareholders as divedends.

Only buy-low, sell high appreciation is taxed as capital-gains.

Rental income is considered income, and taxed assuming reasonable tax brackets much higher than investment income (That is to say, caiptal-gains. Interest/Dividends are also taxed at the higher income rate)

The cost of maintaining a livable home, property taxes, insurance, property depreciation, and renter interactions eat into the supposed windfall that landlords make.

I’m not saying it doesn’t suck sometimes and that certainly these formulas are out of whack in some situations, but there are no easy answers.

I recently got out my Vic-20, which of course has a very similar keyboard. Not low-profile at all, so it really forced me to have proper typist posture.

Everyone wants to be on the winning team. Our brains will make up all kinds of things to rationalize what we believe.

Also, I played and beat a burned PS1 “Pepsiman”, so I’m not sure where that puts me besides old.

Nice try Coca-Cola marketing, I’m on to you!

Perfect!

No. US Samsung cannot be rooted.

I also used CHDK on my way old PowerShot elph. Amazed this stuff is still going.

If you work in some place with a bunch of network disks, this is safe and fast. core.untrackedCache=true

If you are on a local disk, this is faster/better. core.fsmonitor=true

If you code adding the current branch to your shell prompt will change your world.

Also, if you are getting good use out of find, you should learn to pipe the output to GNU parallel. Put those cores to work!

Where?

I only saw Oxide and Friends when I was posting above, so I will certainly check it out.

Not top 3, just my top (now ended) podcast of all time.

On the Metal https://oxide.computer/podcasts/on-the-metal The description: As a part of starting Oxide Computer Company, Bryan Cantrill and Jess Frazelle decided to also create the podcast that they always wanted. Joined frequently by their boss, Steve Tuck, Bryan and Jess interview incredible guests retelling stories of adventure at the hardware/software interface. It’s unapologetically technical and as Jess says, “the nerdiest podcast on the face of the planet” – but if you’re their kind of nerd, you’ll find yourself hanging on every word!
