As a really young kid I thought everyone was born their age. I was not a smart kid.

In no particular order: C C# C++ Perl (been a long time, would need a refresher) Python Rust (favorite) TCL (kill it with fire) JavaScript Typescript Java Kotlin X86 assembly Arm assembly Riscv assembly Bash (shell scripting in general) Dart
Might be some others I haven’t touched in while.
I also had the unfortunate experience of having to write windows batch scripts for a month. I can’t decide whether I hated TCL or batch more.
Php has gotten fairly advanced compared to what it used to be so it counts. Html doesn’t count since it’s a markup language not a programming language. You can’t control logic with it, but JavaScript does count.
Straighten it out, then twist it into a spring around a screwdriver. Remove a spring from some component and put the original in my spare parts box.
I’ve been to some places that have a 1 order rule before. I think it’s to entice people to eat and then leave so they get more customers served over the same amount of time. Not always my favorite experience though as it’s usually the very busy place or the very touristy ones.
I knew someone who did this but swapped out the physical hard drive each time. I wouldn’t dual boot because then it’s much more obvious to IT what you’ve done.
This is only realistically feasible though if the hard drive is easily accessible. If it’s something like a Mac or soldered in dual booting is your only choice. As others have said, this could get you in a lot of trouble with your company. Check the docs you’ve signed
Rm was updated to actually log a warning in the -rf /
cases, so that’s less likely to happen anymore. Still not a bad habit to use ls though
I trolled myself by “learning” that I could delete all files in a directory, including hidden files, with rm -rf ./*
. The mistake being that I (more than once…) accidentally put a space between the .
and /
.
Banana spiders are terrifying looking. Almost crashed once because one was crawling on the roof of my car (on the inside)
We had tons of those in my backyard growing up in South Florida.
In my case likely work or grocery store. I haven’t been anywhere else.
Just tested positive and was sick on Christmas too
It shouldn’t break if you just install packages from the main app installer. It’s more of a concern if you’re trying to install anything from source.
Also make sure to try a live cd or live USB to make sure the OS is compatible with your hardware. VM is not sufficient for this last one. This is usually only an issue if you have very new hardware.
I would get comfortable with the idea of breaking things. Make regular backups of your data. The best that I’m aware of for making it easy to work backwards from breaking things is NixOS, but I wouldn’t consider it beginner friendly.
You learn a lot from trying to bring a system back online. But it depends if you’re trying Linux to learn it more or just to take advance of privacy.
Yes, though this is true of a lot of the easier distros.
How would you make money as a mastodon instance? Pay to be a member? I don’t see the incentive for the average user to pay when it’s so easy to join a free instance (I’m considering the average person doesn’t know how to host their own).
I was newish to Linux and had just run rm -rf ./.*
to remove all the hidden files/dirs in a directory. I then wanted to run rm -rf ./*
to clear the rest, but I accidentally ran rm -rf . /*
. By the time I noticed it was taking too long and hit Ctrl+C, it was too late.
What IT guys did you go to?
It’s WAY better than batch (not to be confused with bash) scripting. It’s got some really nice features though and lacks a lot of the small paper cuts inherited from legacy shells. Look at nushell for something similar on Linux.
You having regrets depends on your expectations. If you want a very stable system with little maintenance then you’ll be happy. Packages will be older but that’s what makes it easy to keep stable.
I’m not personally a fan of vanilla Debian because the stable versions are a bit too outdated for the things I like to work with. I do use Debian derivatives though the LTS versions.
