  1. FLI now accepts path arguments.

    Example with flags : fli -l -S -r -0 /bin/gmake

    bin size for arm-unknown-linux-gnueabihf target is still 18KB

    I’d like to know what features most people would want. Any suggestions are welcome, but I won’t promise I’ll implement them :-)

  2. I've always felt, philosophically, that Ansible is the perfect tool to manage my local dotfiles and favorite localhost installs.

    But pragmatically, I'm not going to take the time to type all that Yaml.

    As a compromise, I have written myself an ugly/beautiful bash script.
    codeberg.org/EdTheDev/dotfiles

    `dot` requires `bash` and `Python3` (both typically pre-installed Linux and I think on MacOS as well.)

    Now I can copy the script anywhere, clone my `dotfiles` repository (or yours) to `~/dotfiles` and start configuring using the power of `Ansible` wrapped in the laziness of `bash`.

    #linux #commandline #ansible

  15. 🚀 Oh joy, yet another bash script promising to revolutionize #blogging by replacing complex #CMS with the elegance of a command line. Because who needs fancy features when you can suffer through #markdown in a terminal? 🤦‍♂️ Just download, run, and wonder why you ever thought this was a good idea. 😅

  17. People think the #Matrix was about robots. It wasn't. It was about operating systems.


    #Windows is the blue pill.

    You take it, and everything stays comfortable. Pretty icons. Friendly sounds. A setup wizard asking if you want to save your soul to the #cloud. Updates appear at the worst possible moment like a Marvel post-credit scene nobody asked for. Your #PC reboots. You cry. #Microsoft thanks you for improving your experience.

    #Linux is the red pill.

    You wake up. You see how deep the #RabbitHole goes.

    At first, it is terrifying. The #terminal stares at you like Darth Vader asking if you know the power of the #CommandLine. You type one wrong character and feel like you accidentally launched nuclear missiles.

    But then something changes. You realize your #computer actually belongs to you.

    No ads in the Start Menu. No #AI assistant spying harder than a reality TV producer.

    No mysterious background process eating half your #RAM like Pac-Man after three energy drinks.

    You choose what gets installed. You choose when #updates happen. You choose what your #desktop looks like.

    You are Neo.

    Windows #users are still sitting in their pods, downloading the latest mandatory #update called KB-Whatever-Again, wondering why their printer suddenly speaks ancient Sumerian.

    Linux is not perfect. Sometimes Wi-Fi drivers behave like a side quest in Dark Souls.

    Sometimes you spend two hours fixing a problem just to feel smarter than everyone else.

    But that is the point. The red pill was never about comfort. It was about #freedom.

    And freedom means occasionally reading a forum post written by a Finnish guy in 2007 who solved your #problem and vanished forever like a #Jedi master.

    Welcome to Linux. There is no spoon. Only #sudo.

  20. Ah yes, because what the world desperately needs right now is the ability to make pristine #PDFs look like they just survived a nuclear apocalypse with the added bonus of doing it through the command line or #WASM. 🤖📄 Because nothing screams #innovation quite like taking a digital file and making it look like you scanned it with a potato. 🥔✨

  22. It is time for another Linux Mint microblog!

    My wife had trouble printing on our pretty old wifi connected Epson color printer. The driver provided by Epson got a 1 star review from her after trying it.

    And....drum roll please...
    the native Linux driver needed a **command line fix!**

    This - needing to fix something on the command line - is the main scenario many of my Windows friends seem most uncomfortable with.

    As you'll note from my previous posts in this series, needing the command line for anything on Mint is exceedingly rare. (If I recall correctly, this is the first case of the command line being required, in this particular series of installs.)

    But this makes it official: command line fixes in Linux are not entirely gone.

    My wife does prefer the command line, so if there had been a click-ops way to do it, she would probably find the command line solution first, anyway.

    And I love that my wife shared a solution with me that I can just paste into my terminal, should I decide to print something.

    She and I discussed, and we agree that I probably print something once in every three years, or so.

    She also pointed out that I get away with this in part because anything I desperately need to print, she's likely to print for me before I even remember that we own a printer.

  26. Smartphone Forensic ist auch immer so ein Thema, was mich ab und an einholt. In Konzern ist uns keine Abteilung bekannt, die das macht. Also kommen die Kollegen bei Verdachtsfällen gerne zu mir und lassen ihr Dienstgerät überprüfen.

    Ein sehr dankbares Tool für den ersten Einstieg ist MVT, entwickelt vom Amnesty International Security Lab. Mein Dank dafür geht raus an @DonnchaC

    Aber auch im Freundeskreis kann es recht nützlich sein, um herauszufinden, ob der eifersüchtige Partner (Gendern ist hier nicht nötig!) das Smartphone der Partnerin mit einer Spähsoftware betankt hat. Zum letzteren Thema habe ich euch noch einen Link von den @haecksen des @CCC reingepackt.

    Habe das Tool jetzt auch testweise auf dem openSUSE Leap 16.1 installiert und es arbeitet ohne Probleme.
