This title makes it sound like he wouldn’t be a good Klingon, either. Which…is definitely true.

I bet he thinks he’d make a good Ferengi. But that’s insulting to the Ferengis…

We’re expecting a baby. Do people travel with a baby? Is it safe? Is it insane? I think we’re just gonna have to stay put for 3 years or so.

If your baby isn’t super fussy, the transportation difficulty (in our experience) is more in the logistics getting to/from airport, and dealing with other ground transportation. We just flew 5+hrs (coast to coast, US) with a 2mo and a ~3yo, and it was a piece of cake (typing that, I’ve jinxed the return flight…).

We haven’t done international travel with our kids yet, but we will eventually. When I was 2 my family went to Europe — some countries were meh with respect to kids, but Italy (from my folks’ retelling) was fantastic, as there is (or was) a big cultural love for young kids.

YMMV of course, but it’s absolutely doable! Kids — even starting as babies — have personalities, and you’ll get a sense of what’s appropriate with yours. Good luck!

A lot of non-graphical utilities — basically the *NIX coreutils, plus stuff like rsync, ssh, compression/archival tools (tar, gzip, bzip2, etc.), grep, and the like. Git also comes to mind.

I think part of this is that the UNIX philosophy is “developer friendly” — tell a good dev they need to make a compression utility that follows this protocol, and they will make a compression utility that follows the protocol.

Adama would like to have a word.

Deja vu is usually a glitch in the Matrix. It happens when they change something.

Fail2ban config can get fairly involved in my experience. I’m probably not doing it the right way, as I wrote a bunch of web server ban rules — anyone trying to access wpadmin gets banned, for instance (I don’t use WordPress, and if I did, it wouldn’t be accessible from my public facing reverse proxy).

I just skimmed my nginx logs and looked for anything funky and put that in a ban rule, basically.

Judging by the camera angle, OP may have been today years old when they learned this as well (I learned it well into my 30s, too).

I can only remember this because I initially didn’t learn about xargs — so any time I need to loop over something I tend to use for var in $(cmd) instead of cmd | xargs. It’s more verbose but somewhat more flexible IMHO.

So I run loops a lot on the command line, not just in shell scripts.

Yes, but your wine futures would be worthless, what with his unlimited water-to-wine abilities.

Yeah, I think the issue is that the other racist, xenophobic, antivax, generally incompetent policy choices are actually kind of what he campaigned on.

The tarrifs — even though he campaigned on them — are antithetical to his promise of lowering cost of living expenses.

That said, it’s the WSJ editorial page — their coverage of the Second Coming of Jesus would be its impact on your 401(k), so this type of coverage (and not e.g., social justice) is their bread and butter.

No, but I think it’s good when someone with credibility among certain people reiterate something, even if it adds nothing of value to you and me.

Democratic and left-of-center politicians (or “liberal elite economists”) can say this until they’re blue in the face but Trumpers will dismiss it as I dunno, woke butthurtism or something. But when someone like Buffet says it, at least they (maybe) have to think a little bit before coming up with some mental gymnastics to dismiss him. And maybe along the way they’ll question, if only a little bit, the sanity of Trump’s policies.

Some bulk food stores let you bring your own. You put a sticker on them with the bulk item # and also the dry weight, so it’s a little more work, but then you can put your jars to use!

I think mplayer has an ASCII output mode (VLC, too?), and I believe youtube-dl can output to stdout.

The rest is, as they say, left as an exercise to the reader.

Ah, good point!

Dell XPS 13 Snapdragon seems like it’s trying to compete with the Air.

man rot13 ;)

I’m not mad at the huge amount I pay in taxes. I’m mad about what I get in return.

You can turn it off, at least for ext4: https://lwn.net/Articles/784041/

Although you can use case insensitive filesystems with Linux, and case sensitive filesystems with macOS. I believe the case sensitivity is a function of the specific filesystem — but yeah, practically, the root for Linux is always case sensitive, and APFS ain’t is only if you ask it to be ( https://support.apple.com/lv-lv/guide/disk-utility/dsku19ed921c/mac ).

And over twice the GDP.
