The physical aspect is what I most enjoy while DJing with vinyl. While I do have a full "digital" DJ setup to nothing beats (no pun intended) the satisfaction of mixing the black circular slabs with no crutches available in the di

Out of habit (and corporate experience) I default to ~/.local/ where possible in case lockdown happens at some point in the future.

At $DAY_JOB our Windows laptops are locked down and supported. Linux & macOS people have zero support (outside hardware, corp VPN) and the password to the local admin account (thankfully Jamf does not reset sudoers file) As more develop

When my dad (83) was looking to replace his ancient Win7 Dell PC I convinced him to buy a MacMini since he's had an iPad for a long time, and more recently an iPhone. Initially he was concerned about the "new" interface after

Look at the Phase Controller [0] if you're looking at spinning again. Amazing milli-second response time even on older hardware. I DJ with a MacBook Air 2017. Failing that, a second hand Pioneer DJM-250mk2 is the entry level digital v

For many people Christmas is an annual holiday with a strong emphasis on family with virtually no religious aspect, thanks partly to the commercialisation of 25th December. Hollywood has no doubt played a big part in this too. I appreciate

Wonderful story! As a Brit, I feel Xmas meal is the one time when you might see new faces around the table as we make an effort to ensure nobody is eating alone. Growing up it was not unusual for members of the local community to join us if

"ls" shows only visible files whereas "ls -a" also displays those starting with a dot. Given the question doesn't that make your answer the correct one?

Inability to export the private key is no different from using an YubiKey? You can't "backup" the private key they generate either.

I worked for a client once (in the e-commerce space) whose demographic was people likely running ancient desktops/laptops due to financial circumstances. A large part of their business model was affiliate marketing allowing anyone with

There was once a band called Hybrid Theory who had a name clash with another band on MP3.com at the time, so instead they called their debut album by that name. The band instead renamed to Linkin Park :) (At least that's what I rememb

I used FreeDOS once to run ancient software which controlled an industrial size oven. The client was having an ever increasing challenge of sourcing IDE disks (in 2008) so I was contracted to find a solution. Eventually we settled on indus

I can _remember_ the properties of an apple - approximate size, weight (my hand does not instantly drop to the floor due to its weight), etc. I can't _imagine_ an apple in my hand if you defined the colour, size or weight (for example,

A combination of HashiCorp Packer and Ansible means I can "publish" a VM ready-to-rock image to a public cloud provider gallery and use it to run a VM in said cloud. Ansible-Lockdown is another excellent example of how Ansible can

I'm a firm believer in having a single source of truth and that's often a Jira ticket ID in the corporate world. On Jira you can either directly link to another item, link to a Confluence page or leave a comment with the unique s

I use AI mostly for writing docs and always make sure the documents have an "AI generated content" notice as the first thing readers see. In the codebase itself I add in-line comments pointing to precisely where AI was used. AI ha
