These days the internet is filled with so called "money gurus" showing off their wealth on social media and trying to teach you how to become rich
But one major issue with that is..
WHY would they wanna do that. IF they are rich from forex trading or whatever, why in the world would they wanna spread the word
They are making money on people who buy their "courses" to become rich, not from trading
Please, don't fall for this bs!
You are worth so much more 
One of the most exciting aspects of the new Bus Pirate is how easy it is to create add-on modules -- which the community have started calling "planks" to go along with the Pirate theme.

<- I rather like this. I bet that behind the scenes it's nowhere near as simple as it looks, though.
Seems I can fit almost as much on my #DIY #Bike cart, an aluminum folding ladder with wheels attached and lots of bike tubes.
Totally made it all of the way out of the parking lot... and even several miles home!
These were twelve foot and eight foot two-by-fours...

Leveraging the #Hypotenuse keeps it shorter ... and the wheels and lumber ... started at separate locations!
A frame also allows for hauling things that would not have any hope of being self-supporting ...
Though I have strapped wheels to a canoe before as a self-supporting bike trailer...

the year is 2024, and i want to know my disk space
usage.
@opny721 Why do there have to be dozens and dozens of mounts of some random kernel-provided file system, shown at the same importance as actual disks?
In this example, df could provide some sort of information architecture to separate out the cruft from the "important" mounts.
oh my bad I didn't know someone was in there. sorry not sorry

Regalo lucidatrice marca hoover
Non ho molti dettagli, il cavo elettrico sembra risalire se non a questo secolo almeno alla fine del secolo scorso, quindi credo abbia discrete probabilità di funzionare ancora (e non prendere fuoco appena la si attacca alla corrente :) ).
Ci sono anche un po' di spazzole.
Le mie ambizioni piccoloborghesi non sono al livello da voler lucidare regolarmente i pavimenti :D
Se nessuno esprime interesse, al prossimo giro finisce in discarica.

OpenSSH sshd on musl-based systems is not vulnerable to RCE via CVE-2024-6387 (regreSSHion).
This is because we do not use localtime in log timestamps and do not use dynamic allocation (because it could fail under memory pressure) for printf formatting.
While the sshd bug is UB (AS-unsafe syslog call from signal context), very deliberate decisions we made for other good reasons reduced the potential impact to deadlock taking a lock.

Why is the die photo distorted at the edges? Because I took the photo through the chip's round quartz window. In the olden days before flash, you could store code in an EPROM, memory that could be erased by exposing it to strong ultraviolet light. The quartz window lets the light in. 2/7

Contributors to Wikimedia projects (Wikimedia Foundation, Inc.)The Intel 2920 was designed for a wide range of analog applications from filters to speech synthesis to missile guidance. It was created by Ted Hoff (one of the inventors of the microprocessor) and Marshall Townsend. Although the chip was called "Product of the Year" by the magazine Electronic Products, it was buggy and not a market success. 3/7
Interesting chip art on the Intel 2920: a cactus on the die, maybe because Intel opened a site in Arizona that year. 4/7
The 2920 had four analog inputs and eight analog outputs. The digital-to-analog converter (DAC) was unusual and large: a chain of 256 tiny resistors arranged in a grid. Energizing two digital switches (i.e. transistors) provided a tap for the desired voltage. Analog-to-digital conversion was built on top of the DAC, "guessing" one bit at a time. 5/7
The chip didn't have multiplication or division in hardware, but it had a barrel shifter to quickly multiply or divide by a power of 2. The compiler for the chip is very unusual. Instead of normal code, you define poles and zeros and the compiler builds the code to implement the desired filter. 6/7
Thanks to @tubetime for providing the chip.
