This device resides in my bedroom with a WiFi connection and is connected to a VPN with a Public IP. As we know, residential areas sometimes experience electricity or internet…

We always remember chmod u+s or special permission bit on an executable means when we run the executable it will run as the owner of the executable (read this). There are a problem with it, it will WORK IF it’s a BINARY EXECUTABLE, NOT SHELL SCRIPT! Then how to make shell script behave the same…
How to Run PostgreSQL as portable executable without installing in Windows

Trying dnf5 via copr on Fedora 36, 37, and 38. The newest dnf package manager that will land on Fedora 39
So, dnf4 will be replaced with dnf5 but not with python as the underlaying language, but using C++ as the underlying language. Python is well known for it’s easiness, but not as the performance when working on OS layer (some argue not, but majority of the code on C++ is faster, as it’s compiled, not…
