I’m not quite where my footing is as far as my content is concerned but I’m passionate about Linux. This gives me an excuse to showcase some of my favorite software.
Because I can attend/Linux Google Meet with Bluetooth Headphone over a 2.4Ghz WiFi, on Linux I can't. It cuts down internet speed by 95% or even compleltly
I've been using Linux approx 2 yrs for Web Development. I really like it. The OS is superb. I can't ever go back to Windows for development. After a lot of googling, searching, trying I came to the conclusion that both Wifi & Bluetooth use 2.4 Ghz. That's the problem
Windows is better for reliability because the same Bluetooth headphone works fine over the same 2.4 Ghz wifi on the same laptop with Windows dual boot.
I even tried multiple distros: Ubuntu 22.04, PoP Os, Fedora, OPen Suse TW
Laptop: Acer Extensa 15
Headphone: Realme Buds Wireless 3
I've been using bash since the 90's and I'm still a n00b. I'm still not constructing scripts in my head before I write them down. It's still
$ some command $ some command | more commands $ some command | more commands | even more commands
At some point I was making progress and I got to where this was happening:
$ some command $ some command | more commands $ even more commands $(some command | more commands)
Whatever I do, I still start with a very general command and add pipes. I don't know what I want before I see it.
I have recently started to rewrite some of my old scripts to get to the point earlier. It works when I'm writing in other languages, but in shell languages it's hard to get rid of this nasty habit of starting with the most general command and accumulate pipes.
lxer.com has been compromised for years and it's barely gone without mention. Is it due to a lack of popularity or something? The website doesn't have a valid SSL certificate and has been prone to URL redirects for a long time. I made a thread on there a long time ago that they should secure their website, but nothing came of it. If you do use Lxer... Don't. Getting redirected to an advertisement or dodgy website is minor, but what's not minor is visiting the lxer page, everything appearing normal and you login with your username and password. What you don't realise, is that there could be an invisible overlay right over the "username" and "password" sections you have just been typing in, and that's been sent off to who knows where. Don't use Lxer.
