That’s not what ‘keyless entry’ means. You still have to open your door, you just don’t need to press a button to unlock it first.

Something to realise when starting with Linux is that everything is a ‘file’. Sockets, processes, input, output etc. That’s very different from Windows and part of why scripting on Linux is so powerful. You can interact with anything.
So some directories are filled with things that aren’t necessarily files but look like it. Someone else posted a whole list, just realise that under those directories/paths shouldn’t be messed with unless you know what it’s for.
Generally when you’re getting used to Linux, /home/$user (aka ~) is where you put personal things. The rest is managed by OS and applications, don’t worry about it.

Why is he in bed saying “it’s the middle of the night” then.
Your explanation does not fit with the comic.
If Jenkins would have said “but i don’t work on Wednesday” and his boss said “it’s Thursday “. That would have fit your scenario.

It’s not efficiency that makes people prefer democracy.

Great attempt on making a tool, I think your usecase might not be as appealing to others. If I need to list the hosts I have config for I would use: grep Host ~/.ssh/config If your list of servers is too long to remember, you might want to look at Ansible for configuration. But whatever works for you :)

I would suggest using Caddy. I think it’s a little simpler than Traefik and can automatically handle LetsEncrypt SSL/TLS certificates for you

My 2c, buy RPi’s because what makes them so great is the availability of drivers and information. You will end up paying with your time if you try to save some money up front. I had several OPi, one randomly started throwing errors. After several reinstalls with various sd card, the information I could find was that the SoC itself was causing the errors. Also getting any hardware to work with it is just a major pain, driver support is severely lacking. Support for the Linux versions is community driven, so you’re dependent on Armbian maintainers. If you have a very new or an older board, you’re probably out of luck when you want to do anything outside of Linux. Example, I could not get a camera and BT module working. I later bought a RPi4 and had the same hardware working within hours.

The article states that the iPhone (the device itself) will be limited to USB 2.0 speed. Do you have information otherwise? Also limiting the speed does not mean it will not support the additional protocols that USB-C would allow for. I believe why people are making a fuzz over this is that people with iPhones want to be able to do large exports/backups/imports. Specifically those that use the devices professionally. In those cases you would want all the speed you can have, and this feels like an arbitrary limit set by Apple because they don’t want to fully comply. Perhaps there are good reasons due to heat issues in the storage controller.

:x also writes (same as :wq). :q! is force quit. If you accidentally made changes then :q will give an error and :x will write those changes. So :q! Is you safest bet if you need to gtfo.

You don’t have to do this. Run something like apticron if you want to make sure you don’t miss security updates or want everything on the latest version all the time.

It updates the package lists APT uses. You don’t have to run update before installing. But you could be installing the previous version of the application. For instance if you never run update, the upgrade command won’t do anything.
