Getting started with SSH

I've a 2 year experience of Linux usage, but that was all local.

I want to learn SSH for getting a bit of remote usage but I am having trouble since I have only one laptop so not owning any remote sh...

Is there any way to have to virtual ssh on same installation and having practice with that OR is there any online free service(ssh) for learning ssh?

I made an application to quickly open folders

While I was on Windows I was using Direct Folders and Listary, but I didn't find anything similar for Linux, so I made QuickAccess. Maybe someone else will find this useful.

\----

QuickAccess is an application that sits in the system tray and can open a menu where the menu entries are folders that you can open on click (on hover it loads the folder's subfolders in a submenu). The folders are added by the user and can be reordered and removed.

The menu can be opened through dbus. Check the [project page on gitlab](https://gitlab.com/g-fb/quickaccess) for more info and dbus examples.

All distros I checked have dbus and custom shortcuts support, so you can set the dbus command to open the menu to a key combo or even a mouse gesture (KDE or [easy stroke](https://github.com/thjaeger/easystroke)).

Yet another reason Linux kernel is superior....

So my less-than-2-years-old laptop has been experiencing random problems lately without any obvious reasons, such as applications randomly crashing, tabs in Chromium crashing, etc. etc. Figured I must have foobared something with my Arch install, and since it was rather intermittent and not common, I unwisely chose to ignore it.

Fast-forward a couple weeks, and I finally decided to go hunting for the error, as I noticed that, though still uncommon, it seemed to happen mostly with applications that were heavy on the RAM. Decided to boot into live media, and run memtest, and lo-behold, I was getting consistent errors in a small sector, right about the 10GB area in a 16GB module.

Since the Linux kernel is a beautiful masterpiece and modern marvel, I simply added a `memmap` kernel parameter to blacklist that small area, and now everything is running smooth as silk again. Try to do that on Windows. Best you *might* be able to accomplish is cutting out all memory either from the beginning or end to the bad sector. In my case, that would eliminate nearly half of my total RAM in the best case.

Just wanted to proclaim the superiority of Linux in gratitude.

Anyone else try and show off your terminal skills whenever possible to friends?

Not specifically telling them to come over and watch this, but pulling up the terminal and looking through at directories or cpu usage?

It's pretty natural for me to just open it up and type in top if I think my laptop is running a bit slower.

Nearly 3 days after Mozilla announced the 0-day vulnerability in Firefox, RHEL/CentOS and OpenSuSE still haven't pushed fixes to their users

It's interesting to note how quickly various distributions jump on security announcements...

Looks like Firefox 60.7.1 was pushed to Debian Stretch update repositories shortly after Mozilla's announcement went live on 6/18. Ubuntu's repos also appear to have the fixes.

Near as I can tell, RHEL/CentOS 7.6 and OpenSuSE Leap 15.0 repositories are currently sitting at 60.7.0 ESR which hasn't been updated in a couple weeks. Interestingly, OpenSuSE Leap 15.1 repositories appear to still be sitting at an even older 60.6.3 ESR.

Given that there are exploits in the wild (though presently they appear to be targeting MacOS?), it's a little disappointing that users of two of the larger Linux distros are still exposed.

Why does nobody ever talk about KDevelop? (It'd an IDE from KDE)

I just learned it existed 10 minutes ago.

I remember years ago and periodically today I would google to figure out what the best IDE was. I found many mentions of the two paid for IDE's Visual Studio and IntelliJ. And the two free ones Netbeans and Eclipse. I have now used all 4 of these and formed my own opinions of them tl;dr Eclipse sucked, everything else was pretty good to very good. But I saw no mentions of Kdevelop.

Apparently Kdevelop supports most of the same stuff? How come nobody ever talks about it? Was it very buggy in the past or something?

a linux terminal online dictionary based on Cambridge web version

I used to look up some words on Cambridge webpage, and I really love this dictionary. But it dose not provide a linux terminal online/offline version. At the first, I decided to make it by calling the API. Then I email the Cambridge and found it is too expensive almost 5000 pound per year.

Finally, I implemented it by sending request to web, and parse the html and print it to the terminal. Now it meet my basic need at least.

And it's my pleasure to share my project with you guys, and hope I can get some advice or PR. :)
