As the sibling comment says, not a static site generator. If you want to customize pretty much anything about the layout or theming you still need to use Twig, CSS and if you're unlucky JS.

You need a calendar and time handling anyways for logging purposes and to set timers correctly. It's likely not that much extra work exposing that functionality.

Every action by Automattic/WordPress Foundation sounds like something from a 101: How to kill your community book

Podman supports auto updating natively by setting a label.
I use systemd service files for running containers, but you can add the same label on the command line or in quadlet files.

When I started my new job I got a pretty unrestricted Windows machine, so I decided to try and use that. WSL is pretty impressive and I managed to work with Emacs and some other tools installed in it until Windows decided stuff should run way slower now. Magit got especially slow doing any git operation.

That weekend I installed Linux (with permission) and it's perfect now.

You can access basically everything O365 through Teams, this is one of the factors making Teams such a shitshow.

Does it eat a lot of battery for you?

Appending 12ft.io is not dangerous. Prepending it however is.

Agreed, I should have been more careful. Fortunately it was just my downloads folder.
In wanted to clear my /tmp, because I'd run out of space there for extracting an ISO file. It lives on a tmpfs, so space is quite limited.

I ran the command without sudo first. It had a bunch of permission errors removing stuff in /tmp. So I retried but with sudo

The other classic blunder

 

Really interesting article about airlines, independent safety inspectors ans Russia

 

This might be a stupid question, but hear me out.
I regularly document steps to install various software for myself on my wiki
More recently, I managed to use different custom text in the source markdown to prepend # and $ automatically, so commands can be copied more easily while still clarifying if it should be run as a normal user or as root.

Run command as user

$ some cool command

Run command as root/superuser with sudo

# some dangerous command

I usually remove and sudo and use the # prefix. However, in some cases, the sudo actually does something different that needs to be highlighted. For example, I might use it to execute a command as the user www-data

sudo -u www-data cp /var/www/html/html1 /var/www/html/html2

I often use $ as a prefix, but # would also make sense.
How would you prefix that line?

 

Anyone else having issues?

 

I hope it's alright to post this question here. Please direct me to a more appropriate commuity if not.
Anyways, my sister's looking for a new laptop and I decided to lend my expertise. I've got a list of various requirements, but maybe some of them are too strict or I'm missing something.

Usage

  • Mostly office & webbrowser
  • Some light gaming (Minecraft, SWTOR, Drakensang)
  • Youtube playback in the background while gaming

Current laptop

HP Pavilion x360 - 14-ba070nz

Hard Requirements

Stuff that's absolutely required

  • Budget 700€ - 900€
  • 14" screen size
  • <1.6 kG weight
  • min. wifi 5 (802.11ac)
  • >250cd/m^2 display brightness
  • all-day battery life (>8h)
  • Windows 11 (I won't evangelize Linux to her)

Soft Requirements

Additional requirements I thought off, though I'm open to modifying those

  • >4 core CPU
  • 16GB RAM (Most laptops still come with 8GB. Is that ok for current year multitasking on Windows?)
  • >480GB storage (I'll have to check her current usage with her, maybe 256GB is fine?)
  • 2x USB-A ports
  • USB-C charging
  • HDMI/DP Port
  • internal GPU only (the games run okish on the old laptop already, so anything newer should also be better)

Some options

These are some options I found. I'd like to hear some thoughts/opinions on those. (links are to the UK site for english language, for prices I'm looking at the german site variant)

Thoughts, comments, experiences?
