There are some good enough automatics out now at very reasonable prices.

Of course there are also crazy expensive ones also, but they all do essentially the same thing - convert your movements into time measurements 😀

In Europe, we do say 31st August. Want gaslighting, just giving examples.

Try this…

"What date is it today? "

“Today is the 31st”

“31st of what?”

“The 31st of August”

“…?”

“Today is Saturday the 31st of August, 2024”

Etc.

See. It works even more so

That’s how you get on lists… or poison your autocomplete. Idk which is worse

That would possibly work

I may or may not do this occasionally with byobu and my own services. Byobu is easier to use.

Dripping

Ooh. Thanks

Yes

We are deep in the technical weeds here. 95% of Linux usage really doesn’t require such humour unfortunately.

You could have somebody waiting in the wings to pick it up when you lose interest. You would then not have to run and hide when your motivation flagged. A lot of people can’t start a project easily, but can maintain and extend. Just a thought.

Feels like a business opportunity to me

Of course they do!

I recall that there is a USB GPIO dongle which gives you a bunch of pins to play with. You would have to hunt around to find it though.

This is the answer! Next question is why doesn’t the flatpack install do this for you?

It’s a fine distribution. I have it on my desktop and at least one laptop. But yes, a weird way to decide to distro hop 🤣

Top tip, if tired, replace the rm -f part of the command with something innocuous for a first run. Actually, is better to do this mistake once so that the two important lessons are learned… Backup (obviously, in your case it was backups, but the point still stands) and double check your command if it has potential for destruction 👍

csh FTW eh 🤣

You can have both python 2 and 3 on the system. It just depends upon which is the default as to how much you break it 👍 The symlink to /usr/bin/python is the important bit for most software. For deb-based at least, update-alternative is your friend.
