Linux

Instead of restarting the computer after network issues, it can be much more practical to just restart the card, that is, add and remove the kernel module. But, for that, we first need to know the driver’s name.

Few people know, but around 2003 and 2004 I took a Japanese course. Unfortunately, nearly a decade without contact with the language made me forget most of what I learned. Now I can only recognize a few very basic words written in Hiragana or Katakana.

In July 2012, a new image of Arch Linux (201207) was released, and on the same day, I decided to download and reinstall my system. Throughout the process, I noticed several changes both in the installation process and in the operation of the distribution:

Today my father asked me to send him some things. There were 10 files of approximately 250MB each; too much work to send via email, 2.5GB would exceed my limit on Dropbox, and there was no Google Drive for Linux yet (only via web, meh).

Leaving the computer logged in with programs running is quite routine for me. Uptimes of several weeks are not uncommon. However, leaving X or a terminal open in your absence can pose a security and privacy risk - someone with malicious intent who has physical access to the computer can cause a lot of damage if they find it logged into your account (or worse, as root!

This semester, I took two classes with a professor who really likes Java. All the content is taught in Java, and in addition, some plugins we use for testing only exist in NetBeans.

This year I bought the domain juliobs.com and hosting on bluehost.com, so far it only has a copy of my old site, made from scratch in PHP and this blog.

Create the file ~/.pyrc with the following content: $ cat .pyrc # ~/.pyrc # enable syntax completion try: import readline except ImportError: print "Module readline not available." else: import rlcompleter readline.
