Surprised nobody has mentioned it yet, but some of the best network engineers I know will use a combination of `tcptrace` and `xplot`. It's on the command line of course, but graphs can still be generated and I think it's more performant over a GUI (for large pcaps).

This is awesome and I love every bit of it. I just wished there was a login that I could associate my progress with it. Nice work!

This would have been excellent. It's really shocking that the offenders had the knowledge/power to get into the twitter account but didn't do something like this.

I actually had the same thought but with movie theatres. I think movie theatres would be highly effective as they could tightly pack many people into a room that they could not have otherwise. I feel as if they could generate profit and easily prevent boredom in the airport.

I sure wouldn't say "no" to a library either though.

I know absolutely nothing about music, but I find this to be really interesting! It makes we wonder what whackier ways exist yet.

I've always wondered if its possible to use a standard computer keyboard for this sort of thing. What are the main reasons that this wouldn't be possible or likely?

I have a question about mushrooms that I don't often see get addressed. Psychedelic mushrooms nearly always are touted as medicinal tools and powerful substances for curing PTSD or depression. However, in my own life, I don't suffer from any of these things. I am healthy, don't suffer from depression in any way, and am pretty satisfied with life. I am mainly interested in psychedlic mushrooms out of curiosity. I have never had any experience similar to that, and it all sounds fascinating to me. Is it a good idea for a healthy person to try these "mind altering" substances strictly out of curiosity?

I've been using Anki for a number of years now, and I think it's a fantastic tool for retention. However, I have never had any success with learning concepts that were new or foreign to me. I use it for testing powers of 2, port numbers, and cli flags, niche python syntax. For learning "new" skills, I would say reading books and watching lectures is the best way for me.

I have a raspberry pi in my home network with an SSH server. I then just use Putty or Git Bash and ssh into the pi to do my Linux related work from Windows. I need to work a little more with systemd and block devices, so I didn't think WSL would cut it for me.

What do you mean by "increased autonomy"? Could you give some examples of what that looks like? Thanks

I loved this! I don't think there is an English word that succinctly describes this. Thanks for sharing

There is already a ton of good advice on this thread, so I will try to avoid sounding like a broken record. But something that really stood out to me is you not leaving your flat. I think by just staying in your apartment during all your free time is really hurting you. I found that even if I take a 15 to 20 minute walk outside, I will usually feel happier and refreshed. Give it a try! Good luck!

You have certainly described a grim future. But if you want to be pessimistic, I feel like drone warfare is far more effective, stealthy, and cheaper.

I'm writing a service that downloads content from Reddit. Usually I just want to see the top video of the week, or maybe the top 5 pics from /r/pics every day or something like that. The service has handlers for various kinds of URLs. For example, if it detects a youtube URL, it utilizes "youtube-dl", or if it's an image link it will use curl, if it is a text post, I might download it as a json object from the reddit API.

This serves two purposes for me: 1. I can be more specific about how I want to consume reddit. ie, I can fine tune parameters for each subreddit. 2. The download destination is directly to my NAS, so I can hoard it. (Bit of a datahoarder here)

It's been a fun learning experience identifying the diversity of URLs/Domains that are posted to reddit. Definitely a different perspective.
