Instead of

sudo nano /etc/whatever

try running

sudo -e /etc/whatever

This will make a copy of the file to be edited by your normal editor, unprivileged, and when you exit the editor, the original file's contents will be replaced.

The cool thing about this is that you're inside your familiar environment, with your editor's config and all.

The disadvantages are that you have to _exit_ the editor to apply the changes, and you can't load other files.

I'm in an email chain with a bunch of dx/wsjtx dev/ncdxf people and attitude i keep on seeing is that only certain people/groups are allowed to do dxpeditions or only certain people should be "approving/verifying" dxpeds.

Stop trying to make twitter verified for amateur radio you muppets.

I'm desperately seeking information about this chip.

It is a custom #Psion RS232 IC used in the Series 3c, codenamed CONDOR.

If you were involved in the development of the 3c or knew someone who worked for Psion around 1994-1997 who might have been involved, please let me know.

We want to emulate this chip in #MAME so that it can be added to the existing Psion SIBO hardware #emulation.

Every hashtag on every post on every platform should ALWAYS be camel case. I made this to illustrate how screenreaders read hashtags depending on whether they are lowercase or camel case.

It’s a small thing that all of us can do to build a more inclusive, accessible internet for all. Please take the time to use camel case.

Interesting. According to Brent Spiner (the actor who plays the android Data in Star Trek: The Next Generation)

1) it was Patrick Stewart's UK pronunciation of his character's name (day-tah instead of the US's dah-tah) that made this pronunciation canon, and

2) the character of Data and the popularity of Star Trek has led to "day-tah" now being the common pronunciation in the US, too.

quick sketch for tonight.

Trying to be more proactive with my drawing by having a set time after work to draw and post a WIP or a finished piece.

This piece might get a clean up if enough people ask, but for now my goal is to grow my audience.
That being said, this means I rearranged my day to day schedule to focus on my future career.

In news that is not shocking at all to anyone that has been paying attention to AI and the nuances of how it works. LLMs can do really well at a limited number of things, but the overwhelming majority of hype claims for what they will do is complete bollocks.

Todaybor day is labor day!

Reading about the computer you made... On the computer you made.

How meta.

The new AI sponsor of NaNoWriMo says not writing your novel with AI is ‘classist and ableist’.

Counterpoint: Internet person, Guffo, says that any creative challenge where the sponsor is an AI company trying to shame people into using the Plagiarism Engine to do their creative work for them can suck his nuts and buttcheeks.

Love how WarGames is filled to the brim with fonts no one wants: Gorton, low-poly vector fonts, old-school bitmap fonts, 14-segment stuff.

Looking for a monospaced pixel font with a lo-fi technical vibe, serving old school interfaces? Meet Departure Mono. I love it soooo much!
