Currently pondering the value of sharing posts to social networks
WordPress / JetPack makes it easy to share posts to social networks. Not sure I’m seeing much benefit in sharing to some of them, the stalwarts in particular (Facebook, LinkedIn, Insta, Tumblr).
Those silos have enough else going on, and I’m not really interested in traction there. Mastodon and Bluesky I’ll keep, for now.
TIL `history -c`
Today I learned
history -c

Won’t be forgetting that one in a hurry! (It clears your history file in Bash)
Neighbourhood UPS
Middle of the night. Someone’s UPS alarm is sounding in the neighborhood. . Going on for 30+ mins now. Like, why bother if you can’t hear it, or won’t do anything? Did you test this, like, ever?
Poor 8th-gen Intel. It’s doing its best.
Sadly, a 2018 laptop struggles to continually re-compile software for a “minimal” system… Hmm.

The great sell-off begins…

Freedom from ads is the best gift you can give yourself this Christmas
This morning I saw a post on LinkedIn, linking to this story on TheGuardian.com about John Lewis’s new Christmas ad. In terms of retail in Britain, John Lewis is something of a national treasure.Ā Sadly, Google’s approach to ad-blocking in YouTube has come to bear: I am unable to watch this advert unless I disable ad-blocking on my browser.
Google disrespects my freedom to choose what content I see in my own browser. In fact, it attempts to deny me it.
Despite having had a Google account for many years, I can see this relationship coming to an end. Big Tech abuses its users in order to stay profitable… and there’s a word for that.
No, Flickr
mind-chown
Why, oh why, is it that when I go to ‘chown’ something recursively, IĀ always forget to put -R before typing the owner:group?
