I would also add that you need to explain out-of-home steps, too.
I’m not an idiot but I didn’t go to school for compsci or similar and I don’t do it as a job. So frequently the instructions will go
My sibling in Eris, most people dont know any of those words.
I am commenting this from a terrible strip club with friends who dragged me here. I wish I was in your position.
they should call it Definitely_notMalware.db for safety
because I googled what distro to use and ubuntu was the one I picked randomly and I can’t be removeded to change it
I assume I am a prototypical user in that regard.
It also doesn’t help that doing anything in Linux requires weird little guys like “mv” or “mkdir” or “chmod 777”
I removeded something up and installed pihole and adguard at the same time both in a container and bare metal and received a massive load of error messages that after 2 hours of trying to unstick just formatted the SD card and started over. So then, installing and configuring ssh, fstab the external drive, set a static IP address on the pi took up all of my time so far.
yes - grew up in the 80s so witticisms like “4 bits is a nybble” are stuck in the brain.
Although it doesn’t seem relevant it’s actually pretty illuminating in what IP addresses are and do so thank you for that
that’s a helpful explanation of subnets thank you
In the paradigm of
111.222.3.4:5/22
if “3” is subnet and “5” is port - what are the names of “4”, “222”, “111”, and “22”?
And is there ever a 000.111.222.3.4:5/22 or another add on?
yes, wlan vs eth, right? And then in some providers, tun for the vpn?
Even if they are in separate rooms, they just have to be on the same network?
removed I can’t believe I’ve done this
Newbie here but wouldn’t it be
chown -f $USER /sys/admin/dev/ops/sre/younameit.job
?
Good point. All GUIs and CLIs (usually, for consumers/slightly above average users) are complimentary rather than exclusive, worth mentioning I guess that you can use both on pretty much any system (although I pretty much only ever use caffeinate -d on Mac)
I dont know OPs history. I grew up trying to play Theme Park from the command line in DOS without knowing what “IRQ” meant before google even existed to look it up.
If you’ve only ever used GUIs, even knowing
cd ..
ls
might be very alien.
you’ve got a lot of answers, but as someone who started playing around with Linux recently I would say it’s probably better to start familiarizing yourself with some command line operations in windows now.
Do some things like, use the terminal to search for and open programs you need, delete files, even write some basic text documents.
yes, you’ll have to do some googling to work out how to do these things (and why it didn’t work) - and now you’re on the path to linux!
Maybe you’ll even find a way to install a command line browser to look up the answers.
can you explain for a casual scroller-by with a less-than-mild interest in both?
please give me your home address, I would like to deliver a monologue about the work of artist Giorgio DiChirico at 3am every night in your bedroom
as a free speech absolutist you must have no objection, right?
edit: looks like the guy I was replying to got deleted and it now looks like I’m replying to the top level comment. Commenter was suggesting there should be no limits on any speech, hence me giving an example of absolute free speech being an obvious thing no-one wants — so that we can agree there must be some limit on speech.
This is twitter advice, but I assume it works.
I had about 10k followers and about 100 likes per tweet in my heyday - but had pretty much left about a year before elon took over, and fully left when he did.
It was a lot of work with little reward, but it was fun.
