Normally HN isn't the place for jokes, but this seems like the right time for this (very old) one: Heisenberg, Schrödinger and Ohm are in a car. They get pulled over. Heisenberg is driving and the cop asks him “Do you know how fast you

Hah, that's fair. I inferred from your comment the corollary that systemd is not arcane, and thought "oh, it's just arcane differently," hence my long-winded reply.

The cron.hourly directory is a non-standard Linux concept provided by run-parts. The FreeBSD equivalent is periodic, but that's really for system tasks and doesn't have anything more granular than daily.

systemd is is many things, but obvious and accessible is not one of them. It has a lot of power and flexibility, but the trade off is a lot of complexity. Just look at the unit configuration file: https://www.freedesktop.org&#x2F

It does not connote those extra attributes. It means someone with integrity and honor, who always does the right thing. A mensch is someone you can count on. It is a very high compliment to give someone. But I've definitely known some

Rumsfeld is famous for the quip, but it's basically an expression of the first stage of the four stages of competence: 1. You don't know what you don't know. 2. You know what you don't know. 3. You know what you know. 4.

git has had this behavior for at least a decade. As well, macOS does not ship with git - it's installed as part of either the Command Line Tools package and/or Xcode and is reasonably up to date. For many years now, macOS has incl

The scripts have to be in your `PATH` and be executable from wherever you're running `git`. Say you have a script named `git-foo`. At the shell prompt, all of these should work: $ which git-foo $ git-foo $ git foo If the fir

meta-tip: you can also put your aliases that start with '!' into stand-alone shell scripts named `git-fza` (e.g.) and then call it as `git fza` which will search your PATH for `git-fza` and invoke it as if it's built-in. I do

The primary use case I'm aware is for headless computing. Re-reading what ladzoppelin wrote, I made an assumption that was probably incorrect. I thought they were saying that having an HDCP-compliant TV attached allowed them to watch D

Sure, I'm cognizant of that too: Ready Player One, The Matrix, Neuromancer. But I honestly don't think that's our most likely future dystopia. For me it's a toss up between Brazil and Idiocracy.

That's true but my reply was solely to ladzoppelin where they seem to need to have an HDCP-compliant display connected. I was just offering an option besides a 25 ft HDMI cable.

It makes the source think there is a display connected by responding with an EDID block. It may also handle the HDCP negotiation but I'm not sure about that. Technically an unlicensed device isn't supposed to be able to implement

by js2 3y ago
There is no security inside the HDMI cable itself. It's an HDCP negotiation between the source and the sink which occurs over an i2c serial bus along the pair of DDC pins. You may be able to get away with just an HDMI dummy plug: http
