PenguinCoder
Bit-breaker working in cybersecurity/IT. Only languages I know are English and Programming ones.
Sometimes I write things about technology.
If I told you the SHA256 for this sentence starts with 'c, 5, four, a, and a', would you believe me?

Solved problem. Python virtual environments. Or install another python version with your package manager and make sure the python script calls it in the shebang instead of a generic
/usr/bin/env python
.

PenguinCoder@beehaw.orgto Open Source@lemmy.ml•Clarifying Costs of Running the Fediverse with Jerry from Infosec.ExchangeEnglish3·26 days agoYeah, Beehaw doesn’t have anywhere near that MAU, but I cannot fathom how it is costing him $5k a month to run a few instances, a few of which have many less MAU.
uses a version of Ubuntu’s modified kernel, with the non-free code (binary blobs) removed.[8
Why not just Debian without non-free, at that point?
PenguinCoder@beehaw.orgto Technology@beehaw.org•People Defended Ars Technica in my Previous Post, Here is a Proof That Ars Technica Parent Company Secretly Manipulate Reddit for Their Own Benefit.English8·1 month agoThis whole post is that. Just because someone disagrees with you (other post) doesn’t require a doubling down and an additional post of why you are right.
PenguinCoder@beehaw.orgto Technology@beehaw.org•People Defended Ars Technica in my Previous Post, Here is a Proof That Ars Technica Parent Company Secretly Manipulate Reddit for Their Own Benefit.English10·1 month agoRe read the screenshot you posted of the technology community.
Then ask yourself if your personal grievances and opinion about other people fits the premis. You’re okay to talk about technology and give your opinion on it. But posting like this, just to air your problems, isn’t fit.
PenguinCoder@beehaw.orgto Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ@lemmy.dbzer0.com•Questions about UsenetEnglish11·1 month agoUsenet is not the WWW. It operates on a different protocol and methods. It’s not over HTTP(s) like this or standard web sites. Thus, your typical web user won’t even ever see or notice anything on or about usenet. This is why you would need a usenet provider or access. You cannot access usenet with a web browser. One notable difference between the web and Usenet is the absence of a central server and dedicated administrator. Usenet is distributed among a large, constantly changing conglomeration of servers that store and forward messages to one another in so-called news feeds. Individual users may read messages from and post messages to a local servers.
Usenet is literally just a collection of text files on various servers or locations. There really isn’t an index builtin or a way to just ‘click to the next page’. This is why you need an indexer. An indexer crawls and scrapes usenet headers to allow searching and finding of specific content or posts. It automatically builds releases and indexes them like google indexes the internet.
When someone uploads files to usenet, it’s just text. Very large files such as videos, aren’t easily represented as text and don’t “fit” in one post. It is spread over many different posts, sometimes hundreds. In text format. You could find all those posts, combine the text, and end up with an actual video or music file. But that file doesn’t “exist” on usenet as a specific, single, item. Indexers find all posts associated with something you may be searching for, and other news reader software (like NZBGet or SABNZB) combine all those text files into one, giving you the file you actually expect after downloading all the different posts/parts.
Using a VPN account with usenet is beneficial, but not required. It is ideal to have access to multiple different indexers to find the posts you want.

PenguinCoder@beehaw.orgto Technology@beehaw.org•The future of web development is AI. Get on or get left behind.English72·1 month agoI disagree. If yo have a cookie cutter CRUD site and want every site to be the same and have the same bad performance or bad quality, sure, trust an LLM/AI. It’s you who will be left in the dust for true innovation.
PenguinCoder@beehaw.orgto Linux@lemmy.ml•I want to move out from Ubuntu and use something else.English132·1 month agoDebian proper. You’ll have issues with any stylus on Linux. Not to say it won’t work but may need more effort to get working.

But yes, Amercian law says all automobiles must have a backup camera installed as of 2018. I need and use a truck but I do just fine with a smaller Tacoma, which these days are basically a full size truck of yester-yore. These look nice, like the UTE style; but the 150 mile range would be an issue for me.

PoC in tech has a different meaning than others, being Proof of Concept. Each community or in groups have their own acronyms even if it overlaps others. I did not think that acronym in this context needed clarification.

It’ll be interesting to see if it comes to fruition and how effective it can be. Mozilla often shutters projects due to funding constraints or lack of adoption as well as had recent cuts to its internet advocacy staff.

PenguinCoder@beehaw.orgto Linux@lemmy.ml•Is there such a thing as split-screen grep?English2·2 years agoYour request goes against the unix philosophy. Grep does one thing and does it well. If you desire additional functionality, you should add another utility to accomplish what you want.
rsync -naP --exclude-from=rsync-homedir-local.txt /home/$USER/ $BACKUPDIR/ | grep denied
In your specific task, utilize bashims to do (what I think) you want:
rsync -naP --exclude-from=rsync-homedir-local.txt /home/$USER/ $BACKUPDIR/ || echo "task failed"

So change the shebang to explicitly reference the venv python.
