  • To be fair. I get where they’re coming from. Some people simply don’t want to take the time to learn the Linux command line nor learn how to utilize the tool, balena etcher.

    That said, if one says “Is there a way to simply install a Linux OS”, I usually assume said person has at least a passing familiarity with burning an ISO as that is the bare minimum knowledge for starting the Linux installation process.

    Hence my assumption that they were familiar with said tools when they asked the question.

    I meant a workstation OS. Or any Linux OS that’s not locked to a corporate account and probably filled with spyware.

    Yes, though I have not tried to utilize this:

    https://github.com/Quill-OS/quill

    I don’t even understand the first sentence of these instructions. “Mount the device” followed by a bunch of seemingly random letters and characters. Mount it on what? What do I do with these?

    These instructions require a very basic understanding of the Linux command line and file system. As does installing a Linux OS without a GUI helper.





  • Professionally. I’ve been teaching myself Web Dev for the past 4 years and have actually worked at a small start up briefly, but want to work at a small/medium size company at some point.

    I can’t afford to go back to school, but am familiar with the classic CS curriculum, in part thanks to the resources listed on that website you referenced. Thank you for that.

    It’s just taking me a long time as while I have a college degree, I have never had a strong background in mathematics, let alone the discrete mathematics generally required by most robust CS curriculum.

    That said, I have a great support structure, with many mentors and a solid local and online community. I’ve even hung out with a few Linux kernel devs, who have graciously given me various pieces of advice on how to proceed learning the basics.

    This TCP/IP book is sort of a detour, as I don’t see myself utilizing the concepts directly (save for a bit of packet analysis), but I’ve noticed web developers, at least at the Jr level, tend to only have a surface level knowledge of how HTTP fits into the broader TCP/IP model, and I’d rather that not be the case for myself.

    Thanks again for that resource. I’ve yet to dive deep into a lot of the books on that site, but it’s been in my bookmarks for a while now, and I definitely will be getting around to inspecting them more deeply in the near future.












  • Your quadriceps are the largest muscles in your body (the second largest being your lattisimus dorsi). That’s why squats are often considered to be the most effective exercise you can do for weight loss and muscle building.

    It’s understandable that working the largest muscles in your body would cause you to potentially sweat more profusely than working your other muscles, though the amount you sweat is the result of a myriad of factors like genetics and overall health.
