https://www.neuromoddevices.com/ has just released a Neuromodulation gizmo. The first adopters have had it for a few weeks. Currently only in Ireland.

Firefox on Linux appears to adopt the GTK themes (in my case Dark Themes) for web elements (Forms, message poxes, etc) and I have great difficulty removing the customisation. Chrome based browsers do not do that and it's one of the primary reasons I still use Chrome.

Grown up working class, have parents which are older and still have to work in awful jobs. Met many people who are just simply better than I am at most things. So I just grind daily at it. I want to have an "out", not just me but for my family and the people I care about.

You don't need to be a developer to understand or use regex. I use regex on a daily basis as I have to deal with a lot of text manipulation.

--edit

I am not a developer.

Agreed, anyone who has touched PCI DSS would agree you need to associate access with a human user. This would not work. If you look at the security logs it won't differentiate between which keys were used for that generic account.

As a guy who used to resell Splunk, it offers a lot more in comparison to it's open source alternatives. Being data agnostic with decent log compression, with an extremely rich searching syntax, some very good (HTML 5) reporting dashboards, decent reporting and a verbose API make it very attractive for users (companies) who have compliance requirements or require some form of performance monitoring. (I know it's a mega sentence)

I have since left working with Splunk directly but I would still advocate its use because it's one of the better commercial (albeit expensive) log management/SIEM products around.

Seems like excessive dependencies for such a simple tool. Could probably build such a tool in SQLite and bash just as well.

I am a tmux advocate and you can get screen based hot keys if you need but it feels cleaner and it's also under a BSD licence.
