Any advice on adjusting to a search engine like Searx or enhancing how to use DuckDuckGo since Fennec comes with it?
Is there a gospel-like resource on Search Engines and using particular query delimiters? Just been tough reading some of these documentation pages with legion jargon words
I'll have to get one of those 12 or 14TB harddrives in the future so I can actually have a proper NAS. Is TrueNAS what FreeNAS is now? I see their parent company is iXSystems. I've heard stuff about different file systems like "ZFS" and all these other fancy 3 letter acronyms. The last time I bought software was many years ago, so would you suggest paying for their OS? Thanks for the advice, now I just need to get a better job to actually afford the toys :(
I got an OBD-II device for reading and clearing codes and at least I can snatch them from my vehicle. I haven't heard of the dongle before, does it connect to the infotainment system and then allow you access to the underlying file system? I don't want to brick anything doing that lol
I'm going to look into FreeNAS and Unraid. I have 2 WD 2TB HDDs that are relatively new that I've needed to just pop into the switch connected to my router. The whole networking scene has been a bit overwhelming having had so much of my foundational computer knowledge shifted I haven't gotten around to it yet. I want the router set up in a different room so I can make more stuff with Ethernet possible rather than connecting wirelessly.
How does a docker container get lost? Does it have something to do with the "contiguity" of theway the block devices partition data? Does it get separated from the other blocks physically? Or is it just a software error and I'm over thinking it? Thanks for the advice!
Thanks for the explanation! I always wondered why would describe hooks so trivially. I'm still bleaching my brain of the Windows habits I developed from lifs-long usage.
I looked a little more into hooks, and am curious if a patch can kind of be like a hook? Where you create a config file that has symlinks to all the executables like you mentioned? Still a noob when it comes to software creation :D
Slowly been getting back to the comments. Any programs you'd recommend to play around with metagenomics? I'm definitely interested in learning how to use the FASTA format for jobs. Are you still interested in participating in one of the study groups?
I've seen the term "hooks" used all the time and have always wondered what the need for them is. I was a Windows user my entire life since childhood and recently rectified that a couple months ago.
Unlearning the Windows paradigm of operating systems has been annoying. So many functional aspects of my machine abstracted away made me have to create an entirely new scaffold for learning technology...
The chemical process industry as well as undergraduate chemical engineering curriculum really needs to show that DWSIM exists as a FOSS alternative. ASPEN is a complete load of shit and is filled with tons of bloated features... It made it hard as hell to learn a software with a billion buttons on it whilst simultaneouslyadjusting to pedantic scientific vocabulary...
I didn't even know vim existed or VScodium due to my undergraduate forcing anaconda on us. The instructors had no clue how to code and neither did the graduate students, so more FOSS options are definitely needed.
Personally, I'd enjoy if the class had an aside about how the display graphics are used to render graphics in something like Groff vs. a desktop environment like GNOME or KDE.
Also, emphasize that your students could choose vim/neovim or emacs to edit text rather than nano.
I think I'll make a page for scientific computing. Let's see if we can get others interested as well. How do I get an instance up?
