It's nice that you have a list of specific things you want to update on the site. Most of what you want is CRUD related (Referring to databases, it stands for Create, Read, Update, Delete). So you'll want to check what kind of database its using and learn how to perform CRUD actions. You'll...

I had to google the name. I remember it was ubuntu back around 2012 or 2013. It was Ubuntu 12.10 Quantal Quetzl. I was a freshman CS major, I don't even remember what got me to install it but I remember wanting to use more CLI tools since I learned they were way more useful than all the normal...

My use case is when downloading binaries or creating scripts that are meant to live in a specific repository. I suppose I could soft link things to ~/bin, but it's gets complicated when a script or binary is looking for files in its own directory, in which case you would need to know everything...

This way you don't have to run an ssh daemon that's always running even though you may never use it. Or deal with credentials or ssh keys. Granted here you do have to get and install the program so it's not changing the world, but it's a 0 setup solution. Download and run.

Maybe, but to me it feels like very low overhead, no servers, clouds, background daemons, just an easy get/send and be done. It's more for one-offs. If I was sharing media or was going back and forth between different computers very often, then yea a dedicated NFS makes sense. But I really don't...

This is probably the best long term solution, I'll probably end up doing this. yes. Because you don't have to get up off your butt to answer. Yes, kind of. It's more like I'm hungry and I have all this stuff in my fridge but nothing that I actually want to eat. I will. This is one of those...

This question baffles me, I've been using computers my whole life and I still don't know the simplest way to transfer a file. When working with remote servers, I will use rsync or scp and it's fine, they work perfectly, but for home computers that aren't running an ssh server, what do you do? I...

Pretty much the whole gnome desktop environment has moved to meson. I've been looking at some gnome projects which I guess is why I see meson everywhere. I haven't worked in a project where I've had to write any build configurations with either system, but I was getting pretty curious about it...

It seems like a bunch of projects have migrated to meson vs. autotools but I haven't really seen much discussion about it. Granted, I haven't been diligently keeping up on these things anyway. I do remember always seeing complaints about autotools and I've seen it called "autohell" quite often...

vim got dark at the end What is the meaning of life, the universe and everything? *42* Douglas Adams, the only person who knew what this question really was about is now dead, unfortunately. So now you might wonder what the meaning of death is...

I've been using git for years, but it was one of those things that you do a quick google search for and pick up the things you need. And once you have git clone, add, commit, push you're pretty much set. It wasn't until recently I even bothered to look at the man page for git, where I'm greeted...

It sounds like the theme you're trying to use probably wasn't packaged with the version of vim you have. All of vims color schemes and things are stored somewhere in /usr/share/vim, if you don't see a file there that matches the theme you're trying to apply, then that's why it's not working...

Yea, I've seen some things get installed to /home/<username>/.local/bin as well, but in my experience that is also not automatically added to PATH.

As a linux user, I find myself often needing to update my .bashrc file to add something to my path. Then I must perform the lengthy process of opening my .bashrc, going to the bottom, adding export PATH=... wait, I forgot to copy the full path of what I need to add, etc. So I wrote a quick...
