The ironic thing is if Apple did anything else, perhaps a magician covering a box with the stuff with a curtain, then whisking the curtain away to show the iPad, it wouldn't have made such a negative impact, but the destruction of creative stuff just echos a world that is like the first Mac ad, except without someone cool slinging a hammer at a screen... a world Apple has helped make.

QNAP NAS models, if one buys an Intel based one (one that can run amd64), and one that has a HDMI out, can easily have a new OS installed, something like TrueNAS SCALE if there is enough RAM, or just plain old Linux with ZFS and Samba for a small attack surface, although it doesn't have a pretty web UI.

Incredible supply chain attack. Someone faked a hardware wallet that looks and behaves like the genuine article and shipped to purchasers, complete with packaging and holographic seals.

The lesson here is NEVER buy your security hardware from anyone except the original seller!

@ceresbzns That is a very clever counterfeit. I had to check my own Model T to make sure the bootloader was a different version (it was), and to update the firmware to the latest universal release, just for safety.

Another thing I'm thankful of is the fact I used a solid app to generate my keys and create the BIP-39 recovery code, and restore from that. I always restore to my hardware devices, to ensure this actually can be done, and it allows me to do a factory reset as well.

Remove "This incident will be reported." from user warnings from "sudo". https://github.com/sudo-project/sudo/commit/6aa320c96a37613663e8de4c275bd6c490466b01 What do you think?

@nixCraft I think the message is useful, if only as a reminder that sudo is for authorized use only.

Update: Many thanks to many wonderful FediFriends for helping me get through a tough and emotionally draining day.

I learned a lot today. Painful lessons, but good ones.

Shalom, all.

Emotionally draining and difficult day. Difficult half decade, really.

Hit me with some dopamine, .

@RL_Dane Sorry to read that. I've been through some ups and downs, and battling norovirus right now. Also, the last season of Sherwood is coming up, which is sad, because I will miss being with normal, rational, and sane people.

A file manager feels like an essential part of an operating system. In a blog where I talk largely about using terminal applications instead of GUIs, you might think I'd spend this article exploring some terminal-based file managers.

Not so. Spare me a moment of your time, friend, and I will endeavour to illuminate why you, master of command-line secrets, have no need for such a petty thing as a "file manager."

@RL_Dane @TT_392 @benjaminhollon @jamesp I still have the THINK Pascal source code for that program. It was going to be an all-in-one utility that when you dropped a file onto it, it automatically figured out which application or DA opened it. So, I called it Dragon Drop.
