@cobra2 You got a link to Gentoomedia ? if not, I'll continue to advocate for Slackermedia.

@neomorph For what it's worth, I've heard a lot of good things about KX Studio http://kxstudio.linuxaudio.org if that's more your speed.

I prefer Slackware because it forces you to set up and understand your environment, which in turn helps you understand the tools you're trying to learn.

There's definitely a learning curve, as there is with pretty much anything. But if you relax into it, ask lots of questions, and hit your head against the table several times, it's super rewarding (and stable).

@ElfLord They're actually legally obligated to count all raisins they have in stock to determine the relative value of just one raisin, and then charge you that amount. It happened to a grocery store I was working at back in '03, brought the whole place to a grinding halt.

Yo - it'd be super rad if my colleague's team was a more diverse. Diversity and inclusion have to be intentional. So if you know an awesome Biz analyst lady, LGBTQ, or other minority, please share that @greenpeace is hiring: https://workfor.greenpeace.org/vacancies/details/business-system-analyst/

@toilettrouble must be regional. I just found out the hard way that it's NOT that day in New Zealand.

@zacts That was my first guess, as well. Feeding it to my nintendo64 rendered no playable game, however, but rendered some really trippy graphics.

@chuck Thanks. That's probably the use case I'm seeing (I'm looking at JWT headers, and wasn't sure why base64 was necessary).

I get it now. Thanks!

@dracoMetallium Interesting. The reason I am wondering is because it's also used in the headers for some MicroServices, and I'm not clear about why that's beneficial.

what is the benefit to base64 encoding?

@uwunix This trash command SAVES LIVES.

A colleague just accidentally rm -rf'd his /home dir. Inspired by this, I bring you my occasional PSA about s/rm/trashy/g

@gws
I mean I tried not using dd and just dumping data to the device with cat. Like `cat foo.img > /dev/mmcblk0`

I'll mess around with some dd options. Thanks for the ideas!

@clacke I think at work, we have a master document with all the includes in it, and they each point to an .adoc, but there are no includes within THOSE .adoc files.

I could be wrong. We don't use it often, and I'm kinda kept away from it because they figure my docbook knowledge is better used with actual docbook.

@clacke
I thoroughly respect that.
