Glenn Beck added $1000 to the price of gold in the last decade.

Security researchers are releasing password dumps? 🤔

You only need 20 watts of power. One of those dinky fold up solar panels would work. Add a USB power brick for cloudy days.

I think that middle management has more to worry about.

Snoop Dogg Calvin Broadus, fixed it for you.

Got a source on that? The co-founder just stepped down from the CEO role recently, due to cancer. If his replacement is shady, I’d like to know.

adjust nerd glasses technically speaking…the greek word gyro is pronounced “eeer-o” so its not that far off from “here-o”

The word “hack” is pre-internet. A “hack” journalist or a “hack job” is basically something unprofessional. It is movies that turned “hackers” into someone that gained access to the “mainframe”. In the realm of computer systems, I would argue that a “hack” is doing anything the system was not intended/designed to do. A successful DoS or DDoS needs to find some component of the system that wasn’t designed to handle the amount of traffic about to be sent to it.

There are protections for DDoS (iptables, fail2ban, Cloudflare and so on), you have to figure out a way around them, that’s a hack.

Yeah, something about this is off. I was thinking that the 74 year old driver was white and a “pillar of the community”.

Ah, that’s right. Antipasto is Italian or something for first course.

I use if__name__main__ often when working with AWS Lambda, but I also want to run it locally. Lambda wants to call a function with the params event and context. So I would do something like this:

def handler(event, context):
    things
    return {
        'statusCode': 200,
        'body': 'Hello from Lambda!'
    }

if __name__ == '__main__':
    event = {}
    context = {}
    response = handler(event, context)
    print(response)

I think I’m an antipastafarian now. What do we worship? Hot dogs? Wikipedia?

Bubb Rubb approves.

You’re not far off as it is the second definition of the word. “Vietnam vet” “Gulf war vet” etc.

^This. If you make the effort to call, you are very likely to vote in the next election. You won’t be able to talk to your representative directly but the aides will relay the volume of calls coming in to them.

Neither ~/bin or ~/.local/bin are part of most shell’s default $PATH so you’re going to have to modify the user’s shell profile (or rc) to include it. It’s possible that your favorite distro includes it but not mine. For example(s):

﬌ unset PATH                                             

﬌ /bin/bash --noprofile --norc         
bash-5.2$ echo $PATH
/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin

or

﬌ unset PATH

﬌ /bin/zsh --no-rcs --no-global-rcs
Sinthesis% echo $PATH
/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/ucb:/usr/local/bin

﬌ ls -l /bin
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 7 Jan 23  2024 /bin -> usr/bin

That was on Fedora. The funny thing is /bin is soft linked to usr/bin, weeeee.

This is on Debian

Sinthesis@debian:~$ /bin/bash --noprofile --norc
bash-5.2$ echo $PATH
/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/sbin:.

I’m not sure why you’re bringing the XDG or systemd “standard” into this. POSIX standard would be more appropriate but they don’t say anything on the matter, nor should they really. The most important thing is, be predictable. If the user has a problem with one of your scripts, what do they do first? which wolf_bin will show them the full path to the script. So really, the location does not matter much.

That said I would go with one of these two options:

1. Make a package for your distro. This may be overkill for a couple scripts but you did say they’re in a git repository so you could automate it. The package would install to /usr/bin which would require sudo or root. If the scripts are only allowed to be run by one user, set the rwx and group permissions.

2. A pattern I like, especially for lightweight things such as scripts that don’t require compiling or OS management and also are using git; a “hidden” or “dot” directory in the user’s home where the repo lives e.g. ~/.lemmywolf/ Then add scripts directory to the user’s $PATH e.g. PATH=$PATH:~/.lemmywolf/scripts. This is what some fairly large projects like pyenv or volta do. You could take it a step farther and modify this installer script to your liking https://github.com/pyenv/pyenv-installer/blob/master/bin/pyenv-installer

/edit 20 year Linux user (Redhat AS2.1) and 5 years of Unix (HPUX & Solaris) before that.

/edit2 I just noticed the pyenv-installer does not modify the user’s shell profile. That could easily be added to the script though.

My policy for the last 30 years has been; I shave for weddings and funerals. Worked well so far 👍
