Rather cool beer / food hall not far from grand place.

Hello Brussels #fosdem

@raphink I'd say its the new Awk rather than Sed.

@bigcalm openSUSE Tumbleweed and Microos work excellently on the RPi 4 for server tasks.

Can anyone recommend a good Android MP3/OGG player?

Preferably one which gracefully handles duplicate files and is good at handling albums. Open Source a bonus.

@popey I really like the Logitech MX Anywhere I got a while back, does both unifying receiver and BT, with a button to hop presets and a very sensibly placed charging port. Compact and still comfy.

@bigcalm

Still seem to be a few of these: https://amzn.eu/d/6VpZ2Ui

@GossiTheDog @leak meh it sounds an accurate description of most shitty infosec sales pitches I've had to endure. Such a line never stopped the senior managers buying.

Whether it actually helped the coal face, is a totally different story.

@dick_turpin 7 days and I'll be on a train to #fosdem

For anyone interested in infra topics, quite a wide range, a friend runs this newsletter:

@nixCraft

echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/sysrq; echo s > /proc/sysrq-trigger; echo u > /proc/sysrq-trigger; echo b > /proc/sysrq-trigger

Works even if systemd has hung, or other weird stuff, plus safely syncs disks.

@dick_turpin its better and cheaper than taking the 3 points, so it's hardly with menaces.

Plus, you might find it useful.

@bigcalm @sil I've always seen Krita as more of an art creation tool rather than an image manipulation tool. I never really think about the toolkit an application has been built with, rather what its capable of doing.

@popey SMD work (and especially rework) looks and feels brutal, but the packages have been designed to stand upto it. It surprising how many failures are related to power failures and simple passive components. Gamers Nexus's latest video on EVGA has some excellent SMD rework insanity in it.
