Is anyone already actively/productively using #Wireguard?
I recently backed up and restored my main home server so I could reinstall it, and ran into an issue with the user and group IDs having changed -- which made restoring more complicated.
A writeup on the small script I wrote to fix the situation: https://www.brainonfire.net/blog/2020/12/27/rsync-auto-mapping/
Of note: It was very, very useful to have backed up /etc/passwd and /etc/group along with the user data!
Hahaha. I was just sitting here, wondering if it would become a thing (like LMGTFY) and, sure enough, someone did it. π

Joe: I have an opinion.
Bob: Interesting, I disagree with your opinion.
Joe: WHAT!?! You're a bad person! -I'm going to call the phone company and have them block *every* single person with your area code from calling or texting *every* single person from MY area code!
Bob: What? Won't the affect literally thousands of people who have nothing to do with this conversation?
Joe: Yes. but... you made me angryπ‘
Bob: uh... ok β

You have a few problems computing,
And call them for help troubleshooting.
"I'm sorry" they say,
As you start to pray,
"But have you attempted rebooting?"
#2180 "Spreadsheets"
My brother once asked me if there was a function to produce a calendar grid from a list of dates in Google Sheets. I replied with a single-cell formula that took in a list of dates and outputted a calendar. It used SEQUENCE(), REGEXMATCH(), and a double-nested ARRAYFORMULA(), and it locked up the browser for 15 seconds every time it ran. I think he learned a lot about asking me things.

Install #Devuan they said. It'll be fun they said.
Well yeah, until you need software from this century.. Where is my PHP >7.0?
It seems everyone praises USB-C because it's reversible, but that's nothing new. It used to be standard back in the day of the barrel jack. You could plug it in no matter what orientation.
Except of course if you had the wrong size, or - even worse - a power supply where the polarity was reversed π
