Ha, funny that we all use this at work. I actually went to a Red Hat hosted workshop on Tuesday this week for ansible. My work wants to start using it too.

Simple line that will highlight all characters after a specific column width in red. This has been very useful for me with coding by keeping all lines within 80 characters in width.

Reviving this thread. Simple bash function I would use to create new text files for notes. It was very useful for my university courses. nn = new note function nn { datestr=$(date '+%Y%m%d') if [ -f ${datestr}.txt ]; then timestr=$(date '+%H%M') touch "${datestr}_${timestr}.txt" else touch...

Nice share, pidsley. Although sad, there are many valid points in this article. People these days don't put time into learning basic things. You don't need to be an expert to properly connect a computer to a network or diagnose that the monitor is not powered on. People act as if they don't have any...

Still sportin' i3.

I wish I had the cold over here. There were record breaking highs this past week. A hot and sweaty 115° F (46.2° C).

I hope all of your days are going well.

Happy Birthday, Wux!

^ There was a pretty large ceremony for him held here in Arizona this weekend.

There definitely are some surprises here. I guess once the beard gets long enough, it does not matter what you use! I have been playing with FreeBSD lately. I do not think I can use it right now because I need Docker (containment system) for a school project and was having trouble with setting it up...

I searched this thread and there were no results for this program, so I thought I would share. apvlv is a GTK+ PDF viewer with vim-like functionality. Check it out, it is in the repo's. sudo apt-get install apvlv Not sure if this is the actual web page for apvlv, but it has some info about it: https...

If there is not a package available, you will have to compile the program from source. You have already gotten the source code from git, so now you should change into the programs directory and run the following.

Light is also a good alternative to this. It may not be as simple as this script, but it does not require you to have root permissions to change your brightness. The only dependencies it has is "help2man". EDIT: You do indeed need to change the owner of the program to "root" and...

^Pale Moon is a nice browser. That was my go to browser for quite a long time. Everything you love about Firefox, minus some bloat.

These days I have just been sticking with iceweasel.

^ Wow, that is a genius idea. Thank you for sharing. I was hoping to implement something that could actually reload the X server for you, but I could not find a good way to do it. Since most users would run this in a virtual terminal, it would get as far as killing the X server which would then kill...

Just a little tool I wrote to easily change your .xinitrc config so X will jump into a new window manager when restarted. Thought it would be useful to some. Usage: wm-swap [window manager] Code: #/bin/bash # # This is a tool that will edit you .xinitrc file to comment # your current wm, and uncomme...

that's the image google show me when i search 'Battle of the Bulge' :)

hahahaha that is amazing. I always wondered why your avatar was that!

Hey all, I just wanted to apologize for my russian-roulette post and I understand why it was moved to /tmp/dumpster. I should of either put A LOT of disclaimers before the code telling users to not run it, or have just not posted it at all. The latter was probably a better option, as it did not belo...

Looking good, noo_b_nomnoms! You are rapidly getting better at this. Keep it up, and I cannot wait to see more :)

^ It looks like that did some good for you haha! I spent a good 30 minutes to an hour trying to figure out why my laptop could not connect to wifi. Whenever I tried to connect to a network through wpa_supplicant I would get an error message saying that "RF-kill was hard-blocked." I derped ...

Welcome to the grill, siklopz. Hope to see you around :)
