I still rock XMMS almost every day. It simply does the job I want it to do and it’s so lightweight it might run on a toaster.

If you want something more modern, qmmp should be great.

LOL! Go drunk, you’re home!

You should be more worried about why we glorify horrible contemporary people, or from the more recent past. Elon Musk, Steve Jobs, Donald Trump, Ellen DeGeneres, the list is endless. There are a lot of people that even glorify Hitler himself.

And wrt Alexander the Great, having killed a lot of people does not make a person horrible. My grandfather killed a lot of people, probably hundreds. He never wanted to talk much about it. He was a great guy and a hero. Alexander the great killed a lot of people, but in doing that he eliminated the enemies of his people. He is recorded in history for spreading civilization, arts, education. He founded many cities that flourished, some of them even stand today. He freed a lot of cities that were ruled by his people’s enemies. His conquests are one of the major reasons modern western civilization exists. He did all that as a military leader and he killed a lot of people.

Minimum wage in Brazil is around $280 per month. So we’re probably talking about monthly wages here.

Whow. This is both amazing and funny. It is also musically blunt and uninteresting, but still amazing.

I’m not saying this sarcastically: have you tried to apply some common sense to that scenario?

TLDR you break hard. And you blow the transmission.

rutracker.org does. You can translate russian when registering to get through with it and you can get by without reading anything much for actually using it. There are of course browser plugins for auto translating.

Fuck yeah. Because 100 being the temperature of a random woman measured during her menstrual cycle totally makes sense.

Example: I need to enable ntp client on a machine? Just enable and start the service and done!

You don’t need systemd for that. It has always been the case before systemd even existed.

I noticed it’s missing some Arduino examples, so I’ll look into adding some if you’d like.

This doesn’t exactly fit in your examples page, but here’s an one liner I used last night to notify me when the DNS changes I made to my domain have propagated:

while true; do ping -c 1 example.com | grep $IP && curl -d "DNS changes have propagated" https://ntfy.sh/mynotifications && break; sleep 1m; done

I have only discovered ntfy.sh a month ago and it’s absolutely amazing. Does exactly what it says, it’s amazingly easy to use. So far I’ve used it to get notifications from my Pi, a Jenkins server I’m running on a VM and to control a NodeMCU module at home. It’s absolutely awesome, thank you so much!

Please read on what a botnet is. Malware does not hurt only you. By your own words, you’re just a noob, you have to understand that you have a lot to learn.

Let’s see… “anyone who wants to upload their files can”. “This gives a windows-like install experience”. “Any program is free to be uploaded and installed by anyone”. Read those again and realize what a massive security hole that is.

Been using duckduckgo for years. At least for the type of content I’m usually searching for, mostly tech related stuff, it seems to me that it has always had great results.

I’m mostly lurking at HN, but I do like it. I find the submissions interesting and most discussions are high quality. There are some subjects that are… let’s just say not HN-friendly and any discussion ends up in the same echo chamber. But overall a thumbs up from me.

Yeah, the name is what made me register too.
