Seven reasons you should be using Lua. Procedural programming and anonymous functions. See [Lua for Python programmers](http://the4thwiki.com/lua/func.html) for examples. [Luarocks.org](http://luarocks.org) package manager. Predictable syntax. ` $ python >>> foo = 10 >>> if foo is 10: print("yes") >>> if foo is less than 10: print("yes") Error. ` Arrays, lists, dicts, and arrays-of-arrays are out....

In praise of Nextcloud. shasum -a256=d8b4d641eae0c9d34c01bfd148d41e8720bf12780ebbfd2230a4c4a0776468fa

Here's a howto for nmcli.

From the **a** set of Slackware: maketag, mcelog, mdadm, minicom, mkinitrd, mt-st, mtx, (n)compress, and ntfs-3g. shasum -a256=3888b3baa8b2cf58843984251e17afb040758c4cf3343bbe8c0dd0536df63996

How to reduce the size of bloated PDFs. Use this tip judiciously, as it does lossy compression of PDFs, but it might be useful in some cases. Also, pointless Slackware predictions and another LVM tip. shasum -a256=f228b672d0cd405d0ed04162614b85730bf9512819c88807fc0c5c9576fe06c7

Use LUKS for disk encryption. You can even use it to encrypt thumbdrives. It's easier than you think! shasum -a256=f11e5c52e73a4447f9e67ff1ee54825318f5c81e2993f59ecbd0fbb3b370c4bf

A tour of LVM. This show covers setting up LVM manually, which can be useful since often LVM is setup magically during installation. Hopefully, this overview will clarify what LVM does, what it's capable of, and how you can interact with it. shasum -a256=2a9f63775736f2fd58e97e157f5650643986bd55540194ce2f5b1fc216f999b4

Klaatu continues his tour of all the little packages that are installed on your Linux box. In this episode: JFS, kbd utils, kmod, less, lha and lrzip compression showdown, libcgroup, libgudev, lilo, logrotate, and LVM. Since setting up an array of drives often happens when you are installing an OS, it's worth noting up front that I recommend not attempting to use your installer's LVM setup tool, s...

Why should you use open source for your next project? Klaatu tells all! shasum -a256=1d6fcae49e3e47803f48d1ee51db945d1e5960190fa40066d1f115437b8c4a83

Klaatu installs NetBSD on a Raspberry Pi rev 1. Klaatu attempts to kill its FFS file system LIVE ON AIR. Long story short: you should go install NetBSD on a Pi. shasum -a256=6d4b01d5609a6b22e1f5f3fc0922db2f351b5afc74860c7d78cd9c752a56cf19

Klaatu tries `pkgsrc` on Slackware, and you won't believe what happens next. But to sum it up: it's super easy to implement, easy to use, and pretty nifty. To get `pkgsrc` on your Linux OS: Download: $ wget ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/pkgsrc/current.pkgsrc.tar.gz Extract it to `/usr`: # su - # tar --extract --verbose --file pkgsrc.tar.gz -C /usr Bootstrap `pkgsrc`: # cd /usr/pkgsrc/ # ./bootstrap Adj...
