You can diddle yourself 6 days a week, but on THE LORD'S DAY you have to go to church to get diddled.

Top shelf of a walk in closet that was obscured from view from the door.

Under a futon couch.

On the roof of the house in the angled portion where 2 downward slopes come together.

In the back of a truck in the back yard.

In the middle of a grassy area behind our garage

My parents used to wake me up at 4:30 in the morning to take a cold shower and then spend the next 4 hours doing religious worship. The only time I could read "Horrible secular books" like Mutiny on the Bounty, the three musketeers, and the man in the iron mask was late at night after everyone went to bed. I would stay up till 2:30-3:00am sometimes reading and I knew waking up at 4:30 was just not gonna happen.

Yeah, I got in a bunch of trouble when I came out of my hiding spot the next morning, but sometimes it was worth it.

I feel like you think the terminal is just for installing updates...

The linux terminal is why I use linux.

vim, diff, cat, grep, sed, awk, and sort are so freaking powerful and useful.

+1 for sed command in the wild

I had a dumb tv that I was using with a Roku streaming box. The TV became no longer supported because of the HDMI version that shipped with the TV. Roku stopped supporting certain versions of hdmi to prevent piracy.

Even if you have a "Dumb" device, newer tech may just say no.

 

I have a question about hardware security keys. Like a yubikey.

I have not actually used one before so maybe I am missing some critical information.

Aren't they inherently less secure than a TOTP code?

If someone ( like a evil government ) gets your key and knows your password for a particular service or device, they can login.

If these same people try to login but it is secured with a TOTP code instead, they would need access to my phone, which requires a password to unlock and then biometric validation to open TOTP app.

I mean yeah, they could just beat me with a large wrench until I agreed to login for them, but that is true with any method.

I've heard that in the US, the 5th amendment protects you from being forced to divulge a password, but they can physically place your finger on the finger print scanner.

On the days I go into the office:

Tennis shoes, Jeans, Button down short sleeve shirt, or Polo shirt.

Work from home days:

Same thing except I wear a t-shirt.

diff -y -W 200 file1 file2

Shows a side by side diff of 2 files with enough column width to see most of what I need usually.

I have actually aliased this command as diffy

ctrl-r

searching bash history

du -sh * | sort -h

shows size of all files and dirs in the current dir and sorts them in ascending order so you can easily see the largest files or dirt ant the end of the list

ls -ltr

Shows the most recently modified files at the end of the listing.

If you are going to dual boot and your computer has room for 2 drives. The way I would recommend doing it is to add a second drive for Linux, and disconnect to windows drive from the computer. Do a normal linux install. And then add the windows drive back in. Then you can set one of the drives as the default boot device and if you want to boot to the other just open the Boot options on boot.

This keeps things totally separated and you can even remove one of the drives later if you want to single boot.

I wasn't aware of the c/pocketknife community. Thanks!

  • 6 in 1 Milwaukee Fastback with bit-driver

  • Curated set of bits to fit most occasions.

  • Icon micro ratchet with extension and 1/4 square socket adapter.

  • Cheap 4 mm bit driver, seems like it is the same as the Harbor freight one I've seen before.

  • Knipex 87-100 cobra pliers

  • Mini Bic lighter

  • Bit of glue stick

  • Bit of gaffer tape

  • 16 feet of micro cord

  • A few zip ties cut down to shorter length

  • Tweezer man nail tool that came with nail clippers. I use it a lot for poking, scraping and prying.

It all packs up pretty well in an old earbud case I found at a thrift store.

The only things I still want to add to this kit is the Knipex xs Pliers Wrench and a double sided sharpie.

Accomodations? (self.adhd)
submitted 10 months ago by beirdobaggins to c/adhd
 

I've heard people talk about asking for accommodations at work for their ADHD but I have not really heard of any examples of accommodations that have been given for this reason.

If you have accommodations at work, can you share what they are and if you feel like they have been helpful?

phone: Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra

pen: Pilot G-2 .07

earbuds: Tozo T6

USB drives: Samsung USB-C 64GB and 256GB

knife: Gerber EAB Exchange a blade

wallet: Chums Surfshort Wallet

The 64GB drive is setup with Ventoy and has a ton of bootable ISO files on it.

The 256GB drive is encrypted and has a copy all of my files. (not including files that could be easily reproduced, like movies and music)

 

I just registered another domain name that doesnt support whois privacy and I would like to hide my actual details.

How have you done this? Post office box?

 

I have just started bike commuting again. I drive to the train station, take my bike on the train and then have a 4 mile commute on my bike once I get off the train. It's mostly downhill on the way into work, which is nice because I don't get too sweaty, but that means it's mostly uphill on the way home.

I'd love to bike the whole way, but it is 18 miles and 36 miles in a day would be too long for me at this point.

I would love to get involved with helping Cedar Park create more livable, walk-able, bike-able community. Does anyone know if there are any local groups with this goal?
