Recently, Linus Torvalds had to confront a conspiracy theorist on the Linux kernel mailing list. It seems the rise in popularity of conspiracy theories coincides with the decline of critical thinking. No longer is critical thinking taught in school. It’s no longer seen as a necessary skill or even a desirable skill. REFERENCED: ? https://resources.saylor.org/wwwresources/archived/site/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/BIO101-lab-1-4th.pdf…
Probably one of the most common Vim/Emacs questions that I get is “Why would I choose Emacs over Vim?” Or “what does Emacs have to offer that Vim doesn’t?” You see this question all the time from Vim users on message boards and support forums. So I wanted to take a minute to answer it….
In this post, we will see how to wire up an HC-SR04 range sensor to the Raspberry Pi Pico and publish its readings to the ROS 2 graph using micro-ROS. This builds upon the previous post ‘Getting started with micro-ROS on the Raspberry Pi Pico’. As such, I’d encourage you to read it first if…
The man pages, short for reference manual pages, are your keys to Linux. Everything you want to know is there – take it all in an run with it. The collection of documents will never win a Pulitzer prize, but the set is quite accurate and complete. The man pages are the primary source and that authority is well-known….
The trackball mouse is nothing. They’ve been around for decades, yet for many people, trackballs are still kind of shrouded in mystery. What is the purpose of these mice? Well, the biggest reason to get rid of that standard mouse and start using a trackball is ergonomics. It will save you from wrist pain and…

In this blog post, I’ll do a deep dive into the process of designing a small feature on ubuntu.com – from the original need, right through the design phase until it’s handed over to engineering. It intends to give you a good high-level overview of how we do user experience (UX) design at Canonical on…
by Joao Correia Detecting vulnerabilities and managing the associated patching is challenging even in a small-scale Linux environment. Scale things up and the challenge becomes almost unsurmountable. There are approaches that help, but these approaches are unevenly applied. In our survey, State of Enterprise Vulnerability Detection and Patch Management, we set out to investigate how…

You get subtitles for most of the content in streaming platforms you might have to…
In recent weeks, the most requested Linux distro for me to take a look at has been Peux OS. It’s an Arch-based distro that claims to be minimal and beautiful. Their flagship edition uses the Xfce desktop, and many people asked me to try out the Xmonad edition. So I’m taking a look at both…
