In the 80s the German band Ideal made a song ("Herrscher") about that feeling. Here are the translated lyrics:

In the evening I am the ruler of the world - and you have to greet me! I the science fiction hero - and you lie at my feet! I own the stars, I have the power - you are happy to stand in my light; I am the one who ridicules the world and you all come to see me... ... and you all come to see ME! ...and you all come to see me!

Only in the morning I feel uncomfortable... I'm afraid to leave the house... In the morning I'm small and weak... I'm in agony, I'm lying flat...

In the evening, I rule the universe - and you in my shadow: You see my tribunal - and I will allow you! I own the stars, I have the power - you are glad to stand in my light! It is I who ridicule the world and you all come to see me...

...and you all come to see me! ...and you all come to see ME!

Only in the morning when the spell fades I have to cry when a dog barks at me! In the morning I am... Small and weak... In agony, I'm lying flat....

Don't put it in /usr/bin, that's where your package manager puts executables, not you. Other than that, do what you want. /usr/local/bin is good, or if it's only for your user ~/bin, ~/local/bin or ~/.local/bin - I don't care. Also just let your users decide where they want to put the script.

You already pointed out that there is a free alternative, so anyone who says "nothing is free" is a bit mentally challenged.

The vertical bar (pipe) and broken bar are not the same symbol. Wikipedia has a whole section about it ("Solid vertical bar versus broken bar"). Only the pipe character can be used for pipes in Linux/Windows/Mac terminals.

Agreed. Will they keep 90% for the next 10 years, or will the efficiency drop by 10% every 25 days?

What about a small car trailer?

I'm not sure, but I think these USSD/GSM codes still work nowadays.

You can use something like strace -eopen -f -o strace.out the_program to find all files that the program tried or succeeded to open. Then you can try to find the config file(s) in strace.out.

The second car here is a Tesla, and it still runs at the other side of the ford (but we don't know for how long). But I agree, driving through rain should not damage a car.

Which app is this? It finds a lot. Although 3k subscribers everywhere look a bit suspicious.

Here it is on the photographer's Flickr. I think it says 6s exposure, so the photo doesn't look like seen through the naked eye.

In Germany we have a trial run of food delivery. A drone will bring a package with up to 4.5 kg to a "remote" village, then some students on e-bikes will bring it to the houses. Why they are using drones instead of one lorry a day is unknown.

I've been riding bikes for more than 50 years and never wore a helmet. Now I got an ebike - and a helmet. And I actually like it. It provides a bit of shade, the airflow is still good (it has many air holes), and it keeps almost all sweat from running down my face.

Why not for the UK? It's a founding member state.

The court has jurisdiction amongst the member states of the Council of Europe which includes almost every country in Europe except for Vatican City, Belarus and Russia.

You don't necessarily need a new computer, you could get a new SSD, install Linux there and dual boot for a while.

There's already !webdev@programming.dev

A .deb relies on other packages, so a modern Firefox package will not be installable on an ancient OS. With Ubuntu Pro, Ubuntu 16.04 will still get updates until 2026, so I think you would get Firefox from Ubuntu until then. But there's no chance you would get a modern Firefox for 7.10 or 8.04.

Maybe you should ask yourself why you would like to cling to an ancient version of Linux. You don't like the new desktop or anything else that comes with the new version? Then you can install another desktop or another distribution.

I'm curious how such a ban works. Of course they'll tell Google and Apple to stop distributing the apps, but can't you just sideload the app? Or are they blocking some network connections at the country level, or filtering DNS?

I think the little ant is called Discothyrea sexarticulata, and it got its name from a person named Borgmeier.

I'm sorry I don't know the answer, but I would like to point out that there are also some English speaking communities on feddit.de (e.g. boardgames). I guess a better filter would be language based, although I don't know if the communities/magazines even have meta data with their language(s).

Reading about Kernel processes and executing threads makes very little sense compared to a hardware core with two threads.

For me it's the opposite: a hardware core "having two threads" still sounds a bit strange. It can run two threads at the same time. Maybe Intel should have invented a better name for the thread-runner-thingie.

have to print, sign, scan, and email back

Can't you scan or photograph your signature and insert it in your word processor?

Can you post an example of such a blocked site? And in which country are you?

How often do you run that script? Maybe the server writes log files, and if your script runs every 5 seconds the log files get too large.

Maybe you would be better off with a program like fetchmail. You can let it call your own script, and it will get the data on stdin.

Did you already try to remove the batteries, without making a bridge?

There's also !askelectronics@discuss.tchncs.de, maybe someone there knows what to do.

I used DVB-S/S2 cards and DVB-T sticks for many years with VDR, but a few years ago I gave up and got a separate tuner box (Octagon SF8008). I was fed up with the kernel module compilation, and the DVB cards or USB boxes only lasted a few years until they died. Every time I wanted to record something, the desktop PC had to run. All the time I used the PC the cards were powered and that probably didn't help with their longevity.

And other countries didn't have parts shortage etc?

Nova Launcher (7) works without problems on my Pixel 8 Pro. On my Xiaomi Mi 9 SE gestures with Nova were broken somehow, but now with the Pixel it's fine again.

UK was in the EU for the most part of my adulthood, so I didn't need a passport (I'm from Germany).

I live in the city, but with the ebike I now can also go to the surrounding country side. I still like the helmet there, because shade for the head and a lot less sweat in my face. And it's not a high end helmet, it is a cheap one from Aldi.

You could try to contact your carrier, there might be some misconfiguration in the network.

Isetta.

Or you could use one of these fancy battery-less keyboards and mice.

I hit a similar bug today where I had used

SYSDATE - NUMTOYMINTERVAL(2, 'year')

in Oracle. I don't remember why I didn't use sysdate - 2*365 instead, which works without problems for my use case (I don't care about one day more or less). But I would have appreciated if the compiler or the IDE would have yelled at me.

Apkmirror has some old versions.

Debian has always been Ubuntu's upstream and still is.

I tried it with SwiftKey and can't reproduce this problem.

I use FeedMe.
