You may need to log out and log back in for the addition of the sudo group to take effect.

The default config sudo should be fine, but if the above doesn’t work then you may also want to look up “visudo” to check/modify the sudo config.

I thought that was…

Hot take: if people have a legitimate opinion that needing to sign up for an Epic account is something that they didn’t anticipate / don’t like / don’t want to do, then it is a fair and valid review and not “review bombing”.

I’m sure there are ways to suppress output from stdin presenting in the terminal but I couldn’t tell you how to do it without looking it up myself.

The easiest entry point to this problem that I can think of off the top of my head is password input masking (e.g., when you run sudo and type your password, it prevents character output even though the characters are read by the application).

There is almost certainly a much better and more appropriate mechanism to prevent stdin characters from printing directly to the terminal (perhaps some kind of special character? A TTY control option?) but I don’t know it off-hand.

In general allowing content to be supplied in advance on stdin is desirable behavior, because it allows a developer to (for example) write applications that work as pipes that can have content queued on the input stream ready for processing.

If that behaviour doesn’t suit your use case and you need to only accept input after a certain point, you could read() and simply ignore/discard the current content of stdin before you write your question/accept the answer from the user.

Don’t forget the 300-comment-long “+1” feature request chains

WHY IS IT SO FUNNY

Wiener? Any of you kids want another wiener?

Dad, what’s that?

I don’t know son, but it’s got great, big…

Yep, hence the preface. Just offering up an alternative to using software they’re concerned about in case they don’t know they have the option. 🙂

I’m going to assume that by the way you’re describing it, using an excel alternative is totally out of the question or simply not possible, but just in case it isn’t…

If you haven’t heard of it, check out LibreOffice.

Neat! Very well executed.

Gives me “The Expanse” crossed with “Picard” intro vibes.

Ah that’s great. It wasn’t an option when I had to get it sorted but that was a few years ago. The self-service options in the app are excellent for basic config and troubleshooting.

I have AussieBB and had to give them a call at one point to allow inbound traffic so I could expose my self-hosted server. They flicked a switch for my account and then everything came good.

If you give them a ring and explain what you’re trying to do it should get sorted out very quickly. Their customer service staff are very knowledgeable and friendly - they’re the best RSP I’ve ever had.

Ive been using Pixelfed since late June quite happily. I’ve never used stories, but it looks like they have them if that’s something that interests you:
