I use ctrl-r.

What happens if you put “police your_city” in your favorite search engine? I tried it with my current city and the village where I grew up, and both led me to the phone number in reasonable time.

The Raspberry Pi Zero in USB gadget mode can be used for GPIO. If you don’t want to setup gadget mode, get Pi Zero W.

Does it have more than one video output? If yes, you could try the other one.

If anyone wonders where the bug is: it’s not a bug, it’s a feature tree.

Also there’s a timeout setting in the same file.

You can update and it won’t break anything, because Intel microcode won’t be loaded into AMD CPUs. If you run apt show intel-microcode it tells you that there is a amd64-microcode package as well. If it is not already installed, you can install it, and then try to remove intel-microcode. If it doesn’t want to remove anything else (e.g. the kernel), you can remove it. If not, just leave it installed.

echo is a program, but some shells like Bash and zsh also have a built-in echo. You can run type echo to verify that.

You could plug in a power meter with wifi and look what power is used.

You could use a babyphone or a camera (e.g. an old phone).

I’m not sure if an Alexa (Echo Dot or so) would react on the little tune of your washer, but it hears the standard annoying beeps of my washer.

Or just use completion: press tab once or twice after the ssh command (and a space). If that doesn’t work, install the bash-completion package.

We could use Ctrl+Insert and Shift+Insert like in the last three decades, but some of these keyboards apparently forgot about the Insert key.

That reminds me: when I bought an MSI monitor (15" without touch) it also came with one USB-C to USB-C cable. All my other USB-C cables did not work for video.

But if the Windows has an OEM license, it can’t be used inside a VM, as far as I understand.

This article was amended on 8 March 2025. The Athena craft touched down 250 meters, not 250 miles, from its intended landing site.

I just looked, and Chimera also offers distrobox. I didn’t have the need to really use it yet, but it sounds like it would be the best because of its desktop integration.

From Wikipedia:

The company has licensed the Kodak brand to several products produced by other companies, such as the PIXPRO line of digital cameras manufactured by JK Imaging. https://petapixel.com/2013/01/23/kodak-brand-license-holder-jk-imaging-shrouded-in-mystery/

I’m using sftp in Keepass2Android to sync the file while I’m at home. When I’m not at home, it uses the local copy on the phone.

When the password file has changed on my home server and on the phone, Keepass2Android will ask if it should merge the databases. I’m not sure what Syncthing would do in that situation.

Are you sure about A3? A3 is twice the size of A4, not half of it.

I’m quite happy with my Tasmota outlets. They don’t have a display, but I have a thing with a display already with me, so why would I need another display at the outlet, which would make it bulkier and more inconvenient to use.

I agree. zgrep also works for uncompressed files, so we could use e.g. zgrep ^ instead of zcat.
