  • I am not 100% sure, but I had something similar with passworded drive. There was a way to edit crypt tab stuff so that when system looks for pwd input on boot it went to the hashed file to get password. I forget the steps I did, but online there is a walk through and it was not too difficult to configure…just a few manual file edits

    I found zypper package speed for download seems to vary a lot, sometimes superfast and other times it drips in like old dialup. Maybe server load or what default server it hits is too many hops away or something. It also does delta downloads, which makes sense if your data is capped, but takes a lot longer to negotiate the lookup for update, compare versions, and pull delta only.

    Good thing about zypper and SUSE setup is you can use the various patch, patches, list patches commands to see what is unneeded, recommended or critical, CVE, and if has already been applied to your system or not. Great tool for sysadmin









  • Gimp works really well, just that it is destructive editting.

    As for the software not having features or not being useful, part of that comes down to: if a company offers a linux version make sure you use it. For a proprietary MCAD and PLM system from Siemens, we had a unix version, then windows, then when Linux was viable with support on SUSE and RHEL we had the exact software OEM aerospace and Automotive engineers used for design and management. Trouble is not enough companies used it to make supporting it a worthwhile effort, so they ditched the GUI desktop support. You can still run the few years old version. Maybe it will come back with Linux rising from 1-2% to 4.5% ; if that trend continues



  • Man carves out half a pumpkin with eyeholes and puts it on his head to amuse the tribe after dinner. Archaelogist 65000 years later: here we see a fossilzed gourd used by the males as a helmet in battle.

    Kidding aside , our view has been tainted by the current patriarcal times. Century ago and women could not vote, own property, some atill need husbands permission for things in certain coubtries. Many assume it was alwaysvlije that but 450 BC, Celtic Woman owned half their property with husband, on his death she got her half and his coukd be willed to her or anyone else. The Romans invading Wales were dumbfounded to be fighting women in battle. The narrative that only men owned things or did the “hard” stuff is bullshit
