A while ago I did this by making a custom wallpaper with a box on it and set the capture region to the box.

If you ran this as a non-root user then you didn’t move any system files you just made some copies. Delete the new copies and you should be fine.

I use nix for extra packages on my linux desktop. I don"t like brew at all.

Yes its CLI based

You can do this easily with Tailscale or a similar wiregaurd vpn.

How so? if I compromise a containerized app I get all the data that app has access to.

From a security standpoint, each and every container running actually increases the potential attack surface.

Keeping containers up to date for security and bugfixes is just as important as OS packages.

I’ve recently been asked to help some folks on the biz side automate tasks “with ai” and I’ve had very good results having gemini write apps script to do automations via google sheets.

For example HR wanted this for workshops they run “Write an Apps Script function to use the employee email list on sheet2 to create random teams of 4 and record the teams on sheet3. Use the template on sheet1 to write an email notification to each team and then send it.”

Worked on the first try and the code is decent.

If you are going to store important data I would get a new drive. Either replace the internal or attach an external.

Also make backups.

My experience is that use of an LLM is an amplifier to your output but generally at no better quality that you can produce on your own.

The skilled developer who uses an LLM and checks its work will get a productivity boost without a loss in quality.

The unskilled developer who copy/pastes code from stackover can get even more sloppy code into production by using an LLM.

Its a personal style choice.

With a blank line before the ‘while’ and another after the ‘done’ its a nice little easy to identify block. I don’t know how the ‘while’ would look like its not a part of that block.

A midline semicolon just looks ugly to me so I don’t do it unless it is the only way to make a statement work.

No the opposite. I think more shorter lines makes it easier to read than fewer longer lines.

It just looks weird to me to stick a semicolon into the middle of a line when a compound command isn’t actually needed.

I feel exactly the opposite.

while true do stuff done

looks much more clean to me.

Yes totally a personalstyle choice. To me, using a semicolon to save a line looks more ugly ; then ;)

Thats the concise help text to keep it short and easy to read.

The first line in the GNU Bash manual section on loop constructs says “Note that wherever a ‘;’ appears in the description of a command’s syntax, it may be replaced with one or more newlines.”

Serious question, why use a semicolon to put do and then on the end of the previous line?

Especially when do/done are the open and close control directives for a block.

Don’t you think bash looks much cleaner when you use it how it was designed?

MX Enlightenment Respin has a unique and excellent look. Add some Propaganda Wallpaper Tiles to further enhance the vibe https://github.com/BenjaminHCCarr/PropagandaTiles

I started using linux Slackware in 1996. First time I was paid to install linux on a server in 1998. It was Red Hat 5.2 way before they switch to Enterprise Linux.

Been my desktop daily driver since 1999.

Yes, I’m old.

The updates are automatic. They seem to have rolled their own desktop environment. Not sure which distro. The main selling point was that I don’t need to maintain it for him. I am registered as his “tech buddy” so they contact me if something needs to be done hands on. In 3 years no issues/calls so far.
