Recommendation: you can get a decent used laptop from eBay or Craigslist and install mint on it. Cost would be under $200.

As I understand it, the issue is that tmux invents its own terminal emulator functionality that conflicts with the existing terminal it runs within, while screen simply defers scroll functionality to the terminal emulator.

ulimit can also be used to define limits, but for a user rather than a process. This could protect you against, ie, a fork bomb

systemd-run lets you run a command under some limitations, ie

systemd-run --scope -p MemoryLimit=1000M -p CPUQuota=20% ./heavyduty.sh

Scrolling in screen is superior to tmux imo

This tracks; aws offers Ubuntu workspaces for their managed directory service since a couple years ago

It’s a great distro. You don’t have to compile; lots of packages are available as binaries, but having the option to compile the latest version of things is cool. Definitely worth a try, especially if you were using arch before.

Huh, I mostly use apvlv and mupdf. They are command line binaries but they have a gui; I don’t really see a point in looking at a PDF with something other than a gui.

I haven’t tried fedora in a few years, but every time I have tried it, the installer failed in some way.

Opensuse tumbleweed, kubuntu. Both solid options for you. Bear in mind bazzite is an immutable distro and as such, it is not very customizable.

You need to update yt-dlp, ie:

pip3 install -U yt-dlp

But first you probably need to install an updated python version; the latest yt-dlp needs at least python 3.10 iirc

Practically speaking all open source software is communist, insofar as the capital, which in the case of software would be the source code and the means to build and deploy it, is available to anyone with the wherewithal to use it.

I have a cheap brother USB printer, the HL-L2300D. I got it for $80 refurbished. I get wifi printing with my phone through cups on my attached computer. You do need to install the ppd files from brother for optimal performance iirc.

Then it is working. That is what that code was checking for.

Specifically, -n checks if the variable exists and also does not have a null value.

If you want to reverse it, ie, check that those conditions are not true, put an exclamation mark in front of the whole thing.

You need to reference the value of the variable, ie:

if [[ -n "$VARIABLE1" && -n "$VARIABLE2" ]]; then
    echo "OK"
fi

At least they are admitting it was wrong instead of doubling down

Upstart was the one that made me ditch it back in the day. I came back when they embraced the more sensible systemd

Check more logs - your webserver logs, auth logs, dmesg, journalctl entries, etc.
