I like it when people find out that Rubber Ducking is a good thing.
Read the story at [WayBack] … I’ve read about ‘rubber ducking’ and thought of it as a good thing, but I never really use/did it. Also I knew that SO showed me the value of MCVE,… – Mike Torrettinni – Google+

From the hindsight department [WayBack] Nice when someone in Dallas using 69.162.119.78 is querying your DNS infrastructure for many permutations of domains… https://gist.github.com/jpluimer… – Jeroen Wiert Pluimers – Google+.
Wolfgang Rupprecht gave me some hints on the cause, as the IP address 69.162.119.78 Google Search used to be of a gaming server: [WayBack] TwotailsTikat’s Profile – Member List – Minecraft Forum
After a good night sleep,
# nslookup 69.162.119.78
78.119.162.69.in-addr.arpa name = mail.uptimerobot.com
In retrospect: perfectly normal behaviour for monitoring machine “snip”.

Somehow Firefox is available on ARM by default, but the crash recovery isn’t that awesome.
On my list of things to try is Chrome or Chromium. These links should help me find out if this is possible at all:
On Firefox crash recovery:

When I first bumped into this around 2017, I found via [WayBack] How to Make File Explorer Open This PC By Default In Windows 10 that it was just a new “Folder Options” choice that by default pointed to “Quick Access” (Dutch “Snelle Toegang”) instead of prior Windows versions opening at “This PC” (Dutch “Deze PC”).
Only recently, I found out that Scott Hanselman already tweeted about this in August 2015:
[WayBack] Scott Hanselman on Twitter: “Windows 10 Tip: You can control where Windows Explorer opens (This PC vs Quick Access). Click View | Options http://t.co/mNi6K6tVIP”

A few tips:
cd /sourceDirectory
find -type f \( -not -name "md5sum.txt" \) -exec md5sum '{}' \; > md5sum.txt
.
cd /targetDirectory
md5sum -c /sourceDirectory/md5sum.txt
.
On some systems (this was an ESXi system which can’t run stuff from the console in parallel), you could optimise this using xargs for the generation and GNU parallel for the generation and checking. Both should be very similar:
GNU parallel is written to have the same options as xargs. If you write loops in shell, you will find GNU parallel may be able to replace most of the loops and make them run faster by running several jobs in parallel.

20+ years old and still relevant: [WayBack] Science Fiction Writer Robert J. Sawyer: WordStar: A Writer’s Word Processor.
Besides doing a very quick and thorough introduction in the what and how of the WordStar keyboard shortcuts, he also explains a lot about the why.
Recommended reading, especially because of a user-experience perspective.
Markdown, Atom and Visual Studio code are not that different from WordStar.

This is amazing stuff: it runs your C# code through a specific version (git branch) of the C# compiler!

A while ago, I made a synced git repository and put it on [WayBack] GitHub – jpluimers/GExperts: Synced every now and then from git svn clone https://svn.code.sf.net/p/gexperts/code/trunk GExperts.
I forgot to save my initial notes, but they were based on what I did before with [WayBack] jeroenp / fastmm — Bitbucket**, so I resurrected my notes, after a chat with Graeme Geldenhuys on how he did a similar thing for Indy at
[WayBack] GitHub – graemeg/indy: Indy (Internet Direct) framework. This is an unofficial mirror repository which gets synced every 15 minutes. It contains the full history from the official Indy 10 SVN repository.
So here are my notes, as on GitHub they look odd:
[WayBack] GitHub – jpluimers/GExperts
Synced every now and then from git svn clone https://svn.code.sf.net/p/gexperts/code/trunk;
Syncing steps:
first time
git svn clone https://svn.code.sf.net/p/gexperts/code/trunk GExperts.git-svn
git remote add origin https://github.com/jpluimers/GExperts.git
git push origin mastereach additional time from inside the
GExperts.git-svndirectory:
git svn fetch
git svn rebase
git push origin
It is very similar to what Graeme does for Indy in a cron job for each subsequent sync from https://svn.atozed.com:444/!/#Indy10/view/head/trunk/Lib to https://github.com/graemeg/indy:
#!/bin/sh # Fetches latest revisions for Indy SubVersion repository # and then pushes changes to GitHub. # Created by Graeme Geldenhuys GIT="/usr/bin/git" cd /data/git/indy.git/ $GIT checkout master $GIT svn rebase $GIT gc --auto $GIT push github
And to my FastMM notes:
Getting the latest SVN changes:
git svn rebaseInitial repository creation and add to bitbucket (or github)
git svn clone http://svn.code.sf.net/p/fastmm/code/ FastMM.gitNotes (see [WayBack] Effectively Using Git With Subversion | Viget and [WayBack] Practical tips for using Git with large Subversion repositories for explanation):
- Do not include the
-soption aftergit svn clone, as this SVN repository does not have the defaulttrunk/branches/tagsstructure.- There are no [WayBack] SVN ignore entries in this repository, so this is not needed for
git svn show-ignore > .gitignoreAdd the repository to Bitbucket or GitHub:
- [WayBack] TheRealTimeWeb.com: Move An Existing Git Repository Into Bitbucket In 3 Steps
- [WayBack] Adding an existing project to GitHub using the command line – User Documentation
Add either of these URLs to [WayBack] Feedly for monitoring:
