This World Environment Day, combat e-waste by recycling your old tech with #NetBSD. Don't let planned obsolescence dictate your hardware's lifespan. Give that old machine a second life as a rock-solid firewall, file server, or lightweight workstation. 🖥️🌱

Poor man's calc (more like bc wrapper):
```
calc ()
{
echo "$@" | tr -d ',₹' | bc -l
}
```

The `tr -d ',₹'` used to remove unwanted stuff that i often copy from emails or pdf and then pass everything to the bc for actual calculations.

My bash terminal window displaying a Linux or Unix CLI. The command `type -a calc` to display the definition of a bash function named calc, which removes commas and the other symbol from input before passing it to the bc calculator tool. Finally, I demonstrates the function by running calc '10,000.5+₹5000', resulting in the output 15000.5.

Could be a good chip to run #linux though

On #Linux, I had been using Sway, but moved on to try Swayfx, Scroll, Niri, Hyprland and even a couple tiling solutions for Gnome and now I'm back on Swaywm.

I'll give some quick thoughts on each:

- Swayx: Great incremental improvement to Sway with rounded corners and drop shadows. If better supported on Ubuntu (work requirement), maybe I'll return.
- Niri. Nice scroller. Missing left/right alignment. 🧵

I know it's not FreeDOS but I wanted to share a cool project from an intern I mentored.

This book is an introduction to Linux for readers who are just getting started with Linux. 🐧 It has lots of info about #Linux commands, apps, and desktops.

You don’t love systemd timers enough

My favorite metonymic technology term is "cron job": even though cron may not literally be the daemon that executes actions on a schedule, we apply the term to anything that walks like a cron and quacks like a cron. As Patrick McKenzie likes to point out, cron jobs are one of the most eminently useful computing primitives. They offer utility that's almost immediat

To be crystal clear, the QtQuick side is now in rather good shape, we just need people to test it out and hunt down all the bugs, especially the weird edge cases! QtWidget side is still very much work in progress, though some buttons have some Union compatibility.

Anyway, hope people will have fun testing things out. I will likely write a blogpost about how to tinker with it when I'm not so swamped with beta bug hunting.

KDE Linux in a virtual machine (or bare metal if you're adventurous) is good way to test out the beta.

See also: https://kde.org/announcements/plasma/6/6.6.91/

edit:

And if things fail, you can change back to Breeze. Changing between Breeze and Union will need you to restart the app and/or even whole PC. Depends. Uh. Beta software!! :)

One wonderful thing about migrating from #GitLab to #Radicle is that we got rid of our one and only #Linux VM. The #HardenedBSD dev/build infrastructure now runs 100% on HardenedBSD (rather than 99% 🙂).

Edit[0]: Clarified that it's the dev/build infrastructure that's 100% HardenedBSD. We do have one off-site backup system (maintained by a trusted third party) running OpenBSD.

Erinnerung an mich selbst: `man <befehl>` ist immer noch schneller als ChatGPT zu fragen, was `tar -xzvf` macht. Und nebenbei lernt man, dass `tar` über 80 Optionen hat – wovon man genau drei jemals benutzt.

Die anderen 77? Existieren wahrscheinlich nur, um in Quizfragen aufzutauchen.
