Bash Auto-Dark Mode Script
Simple script to detect the terminal background color and calculate the luminance of that compared to straight black or white. Useful for displaying different colors in a script based on a light or dark background.

I've had a pair of Anker Soundcore Life 2 bluetooth headphones with active noise-cancelling for a while, but generally used them with either my phone or laptop running PopOS. Recently decided to try to use them with my desktop running Debian Bookworm 12 (currently in beta), and had less than a pleasant time, despite learning far more than I wanted to about bluetooth.
Listed below is a list of recent distributions for Debian, Ubuntu, and Red Hat Enterprise Linux and the corresponding Python version that ships with each version.
It has come to my attention that a statement, allegedly from Raphael Stange, CEO at Marbis GmbH, has been posted on reddit from user /u/BrilliantAcadia632. I have no verification is this is a real post as I did not see the original Slack message nor do I know the original poster, but if true, is very concerning to me.
I purchased the Dell S3222DGM monitor from best buy during a pretty aggressive Cyber Monday deal. When this monitor was first released it could be found for around 450 dollars. I was able to snag it for 250 during the deal. Not bad at all! Today 11/29/2022 it is still available for 249.99 which is 100 dollars off its new MSRP of 349.99.

After looking at the new line of Intel dedicated graphics cards and chatting with an Intel rep about their Linux compatibility, I decided to pick up one of the new 16GB A770 cards and gave it a spin on a fresh Ubuntu 22.04 LTS installation. The price point of the Intel ARC A770 offered by Microcenter was a determining factor as well, as an MSRP of $350 is far more manageable than some of the alternatives.
Mastodon is the decentralized social networking platform that focuses on user rights, privacy, and openness as opposed to algorithms driving ad revenue and sensational content. A primary principle of Mastodon is user freedom; the freedom to choose who you follow and the freedom to select the instance that best fits your preferences.
Ads, ads, and more ads. Data data and more data. The more we browse the more they take. The more we use our products the more information they sell. What if I told you there was a way to block tons of not only ads, but trackers, and devices that phone home for no other reason than to tell their creators what you are doing?
Complete waste of plastic and silicon, 0 out of 5. DO NOT BUY.
Handbrake (https://handbrake.fr/) is a very powerful utility for transcoding videos, but can be overwhelming with its barrage of options. To try to make heads and tails of it, I did some testing with a 1 minute video (1:12 exactly), from a 1080p Blu-ray source.
The game servers we offer to clients usually run Linux for cost and performance reasons, but one of the common complaints from people is that managing the files on those servers is too difficult. "I can't just drag and drop files to it" or "There's no graphical interface to browse files". This guide will provide a couple tools to hopefully alleviate those issues.

When I picked up my Heltec LoRa radio for Meshtastic, I opted to deck it out with a number of modules it can support, including a large 3Ah battery, full GPS capability, and basic environmental sensors. The base module ships with a basic case which worked for initial testing, but it only held the base module so I needed a 3D printed case to hold everything.
Have a Heltec V3 ESP32-S3 Meshtastic radio which works but cannot update and the usual "use a good cable" and "has drivers installed" questions have amply been verified in your testing? So did I! Here's how I resolved this annoying issue, (and surprise surprise, it had nothing to do with the cable or driver...).
The Meshtastic project aims at offering text communication and low-bandwidth data across long distances without relying on any centralized third parties or corporate infrastructure, but most devices require a cell phone or laptop to actually interact with that network. The Lilygo T-Deck resolves this by offering an all-in-one product with a LoRa radio, GPS, and most importantly a full color touch screen and full QWERTY keyboard.
This guide provides a breakdown of common settings I have found to be useful for general use cases on the Meshtastic network with standard devices. For a full breakdown of all options supported in Meshtastic nodes, refer to the official documentation for Meshtastic.
With the release of MarkdownMaster CMS 5.0.3 which is the backend framework software being used to render the Veracious Network site, we can now support RSS for our posts and content, which means you can subscribe to view our content on a feed reader of your own choosing!
This is an honest review of the Hori Truck Control System made for ETS and ATS. I have not received any money or other form of commission from Hori, however the product link does contain an affiliate link. Check it out and let's get trucking!
The Seeed SenseCAP T1000E is a compact, high-performance card-sized tracker designed for outdoor enthusiasts and off-grid communication. It ships with Meshtastic firmware pre-installed, making it easy to set up and use right out of the box, but is also available in a LoRAWAN flavor for custom tracking applications.
I decided to try out the "For Science!" update that just dropped recently for Kerbal Space Program, only to be greeted with... nothing... when I launched the game. I gave it a few moments to launch, but nothing. It just sat there.
Using the Linux Game Server Manager script to install Valheim is convenient, though does lack some features, (and arguably does not implement the files in the most POSIX compliant way).
While testing out a new Plex install, (article talking about that coming soon), I ran into some difficulties with various ripped content I had, notably that it is far less accepting on various video formats.
Getting the message "Sorry we're having trouble opening this item" when trying to open an item in Outlook? It could be due to a corrupt cache.
Wordpress is one of the most popular web frameworks in the wild today due to its low cost, plethora of plugins, tasteful themes, and excellent extensions. Desipte this it is also arguably one of the worst written pieces of software ever duct taped together, (maybe second after Windows ME). Please note, even internally we debate on the quality of Wordpress, this is just my
Microsoft natively supports SSH client and SSH server via libreSSH, but has some caveats, at least on Windows 10. According to the official docs it should be installable via the Features interface, but this was not quite so in my experience.
Veracious Network has published a deployment and management script to allow deploying and administrating a Palworld dedicated server easy and (hopefully) painless. This script has been tested on Debian 12, but should work on Ubuntu.
In this article I intend to explain what an ISP is, the different types of broadband internet available, and some information on pricing, best practices and things to look out for when selecting your ISP. We are mainly focusing on the types of service offered in suburban / rural towns such as the one I live in, Hicksville Ohio.
In today's world of overly-centralized AI powered networks that track your every interaction and move to sell your personal data to the highest advertising bidder, sometimes it's nice to unplug and disconnect from the network if even just for a little bit.
Ubiquiti offers dual-WAN functionality on their professional line of UDM security gateways in either failover or load balancing mode. This can be an important feature for mission-critical networks and businesses, but upon setting up a device for failover recently, I discovered an interesting behaviour for the device.
