My quest to master computers!

- OS: #FreeBSD, #MacOS, #OpenSUSE
- Shell: #ksh / #ksh93 (ksh93u+m)
- WM: #AwesomeWM (No, but Wayland!!!)
- Editor: #neovim
- LLM: ChatGPT
- Cloud Storage: #NextCloud
- Color Scheme: Solarized Dark (Cyan)
- Philosophy: #UNIX & #BSD

@Yendolosch @stefano Maybe Stefano could still offer him a nice game of chess

@fbfortune Great tip!

In #ksh / #ksh93, you can just type ‘r + Enter’ and it also immediately pulls up the last command and runs it. It’s an alias for ‘hist - s’ or ‘fc -s’

In #bash or #zsh, if ‘!! + Enter’ is only expanding the previous command but not executing, it’s because histverify is on. To turn it off, add this to your ~/.bashrc:

shopt -u histverify

——————

shopt = shell options command
-u = unset

#FreeBSD #OpenBSD #NetBSD #UNIX #Linux #Shell #Terminal #CLI #Commandline

@stefano I love how they asked you to disable any “protection.” What protections? Any protections, just protections in general, anything that protects… don’t worry about it, you don’t need it…

To be fair, I think they are actually doing a pen test. They’re just trying to see how easy it is to penetrate the intelligence, or lack there of, of the sys admin.

@steve_zeke No, you’re not wrong. As long as it doesn’t interrupt any users, it is usually better to restart the daemons right away. This is because security and bug fixes will not take effect until the services restart or the system reboots

@grahamperrin @qwertz Just use the right tool for the right job. For many people, the systemd suite of services is the right tool, and for some people and their system needs, it’s not.

You have the freedom to choose, and if you want, even learn how to change things you don’t like. But it’s much easier to just complain.

@christophtill Na ja, gelogen haben sie mit ihrer 4‑Personen‑Grenze jedenfalls nicht.

@christophtill Ich höre oft, dass #NextCloudTalk mit mehreren Leuten ziemlich viel frisst.

Merkst du, ob 1:1-Chats bei dir viele Ressourcen brauchen?

@thelinuxcast Anonymity lets degenerates say things online that they would probably never say in real life. I think they type them because they know they could never say them.

They cannot help but broadcast their perverse thoughts to the world… hey, just like microsoft CEOs… so maybe they will get somewhere in life.

@_elena @imacrea Well, that makes sense why it’s a little tough to find then. Which LLM hallucinated that, when it was writing their story.

These people give journalists such a bad name. But by the time you dig into the misinformation, they have 10 more stories up.

@_elena @imacrea

In November 2025, Eugen Rochko stepped down as Mastodon CEO, and he transferred the trademark and assets to Mastodon. He did NOT cancel his account or any instances. It’s still there. The “journalist” could have check.

In January 2026, he opted his Mastodon account out of the Bluesky bridge. This was supposedly because of the user behavior at Bsky. But I cannot find a direct statement about him leaving because of users.
