There's also this, should you wish to keep Image Magick installed: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/226857/set-default-pdf-reader Change the Evince to match. I'd think it's libreoffice --writer but I'm not 100% certain. (This is only if you wish to keep Image Magick installed - which...

I assume this is one of the new Macs with the M1, M2, or M3 CPU? As much as I like the hardware, Apple is so anti-repair that I probably won't support them. Sure, I wasn't going to repair anything anyhow, but I don't really like how they've made it impossible to repair and upgrade their hardware.

I just wanted to cover the 'halt' command. So, I did. There isn't much to it. So, it's intentionally short. I could have made is longer but I didn't see a reason to do so. https://linux-tips.us/short-the-halt-command/ Enjoy! Also, don't halt your computer unless you really want to.

In many jurisdictions, you have to be a licensed lawyer to charge for legal advice - which is what you'd be doing. You'll have to check your local regulations, but it's a pretty common requirement. Lawyer, like engineer, is a protected term. So, you can't just say you're a lawyer.

Yup. They're pretty large and take a while to update on slower connections. Fortunately, for many people, storage space is cheap.

There's probably some convoluted method that you shouldn't need. I mean, you can make it complicated with some sort of find command, but that's not going to change anything. Is the command not working, or something like that? You can also (probably) use your GUI file manager. Just look for...

I don't want to be too descriptive but much of our system is automated. So, it takes a lot less manual action to deal with spam these days. We get a whole lot of people trying to spam the site. Fortunately, a bunch is weeded out with automation. We used to have to do quite a bit more 'work' to...

1. Find a provider that meets your requirements. 2. Give them money. That's pretty much it. From there, you'll have an admin control panel. You can install a distro of your choosing, among other things. Some may have entire images, like a LAMP stack, that can be installed with a click. Other...

You absolutely can, though you might attract attention. Just don't make your email a bunch of random letters and numbers and we won't notice unless you trigger some flags (which I'll avoid detailing). If it's not from a single-use email address, it'll work. I also nuke anyone with a weird...

As mentioned, I use ChatGPT sparingly. It would just feel so dirty to publish an article without admitting that I didn't write it. I recently did a sponsored article with the condition that I not point out that it's a sponsored article and that was a bit uncomfortable. I figured people would...

No, no... Things will be BIGGER than before, 'cause that's the Ubuntu way! (I like Ubuntu, but they do make things bigger.)

The codename is Oracular Oriole and development has already begun: https://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/milestones/454/builds In reality, there won't be a lot of work as the testers/builders take a couple of weeks to unwind. But, there's a codename and some seed files for the flavors to work...

I don't rely on any paid VPN to be 'secure'. It's just a tool to access stuff I'd not normally be able to access. If I want a secure VPN, I can spin up a VPS and set it up myself.

You made your video on YouTube so that it can't be played back here on this site...

LOL So far they haven't minded. They send me about the same amount of traffic, though it was slightly down last month - but even that is typical. I grow through spurts. I had a brilliant month and now I'll have two or so months with slightly less traffic. Then I'll exceed the records from that...
