If this happens to you (or anyone else) again, I've found the go-to solution from my previous job as a repair technician. There are antivirus removal tools that basically do automatically what you did manually, purge the system of the

It was bad timing, since the console was released just months after the Snowden reveal, so customers were perhaps justifiably skittish about having an always connected camera in their house when all they wanted was a gaming console.

Do you know if Debian/Armbian is working on Espressobin? Last time I played with one, I couldn't get Armbian loading and went with Arch instead, following this tutorial: https://blog.tjll.net/building-my-perfect-ro

That's good advice, but in all practical situations I have been able to use Vim directly or know enough vi to get by, though I am much less comfortable with it. I don't touch type, so hjkl, even though I understand the benefits, h

As a sysadmin, not a programmer, what I found helpful for learning Vim was not to try something new each day, but to find one or two commands that were valuable enough that I would at least open Vim somewhat regularly. The two that did it f

My friend often recounts the story of passing a McDonalds during delivery day, and spotting crates of meat being carried in with the label "GRADE D, STILL EDIBLE" written on them. I wouldn't be surprised if this isn't ac

I've been using Edison on Android for a while now. It is pretty clean and basic. I had been using BlueMail before and agree with your complaints. Edison seems to have solved most of my problems, it's a good basic client without mu

The Wikipedia article for this, the Raising of Chicago, is one of the funniest articles on the site. I don't know exactly what makes it so funny other than how clear it is that the author had a really fun time writing about an event th

This gets even more powerful when you have DDG as the default browser search. I use !w in the address bar to jump to a wikipedia page when I know what I'm searching for will have one. An even better one, something like "30GB at 20

You can do this with the Google Keyboard. Long-press the comma on the left side to open the settings menu, and then it's Preference > "Show emoji key switch". Set that to off and it should hide it under the same comma key

Regardless of anonymity or privacy, my ISP almost certainly deprioritizes some traffic (video), so a VPN at least ensures I can use my full bandwidth for whatever I want to access on the Internet.

Bing was an invaluable resource while traveling in China. Wikipedia is blocked by the GFW, and I was really missing it since I use it daily. Adding "wiki" to the end of most search terms on the English version of Bing will bring u

Funnily, I find I am most productive in Gnome 3, despite its many flaws. The workflow that revolves around the super key to view, launch, and switch between windows and desktops works very well, and I have not been able to fully recreate th

Of the major distros I feel Arch has one of the best KISS implementations of systemd. For my use cases and system admin style, I'm really glad they made that decision.

This is already what happens. Your DNS queries have to go somewhere, and unless you control the DNS servers, there's a third party in the loop somewhere.

My Strix X99 just kicked the bucket a week ago...is this possibly why? Shit, I've had it on XMP since I built it 3 years ago. I've already gone through one CPU, about 4 months after I built it. Now the whole machine is just dead w

The vinyl flip required for Dark Side of the Moon really highlights the fact that the album is kind of split in half. Tracks on the first half smoothly transition to each other, but then have a hard stop before Money on side B. It's a

I wouldn't trust flash drives for a whole library of hard-to-replace music, they fail all the time and they're hard to recover once they do. Better to use a NAS, external hard drive, or cloud storage you pay for like S3.
