Ruby: reading from STDIN, if there is something to read.

The logic of ARGV and ARGF still escapes me, I am approaching perfection empirically by trial, error and surrender. Now I believe to do stuff the right way, which is highly unsatisfactory.

Today's sura goes like this:

To avoid a hanging program, when there are no data waiting at STDIN, thou shalt write
Code:
if !STDIN.tty?
  # do as you must
end
tty meaning “teletype-writer”, it stands for terminal/console/pseudo-terminal and the like....

[solved] cluelessness preventing me from installing the dkms module for kelebek333's realtek driver for kernels after 5.9

I believe that in previous kernel upgrades I just had used what I think is the standard process with no error. But I had failed to upgrade to any sub-version of 5.10.

I don't remember what moderately crazy or nonsensical attempt I tried along the way, not that many, but finally I've solved it in a way I just didn't expect.

I simply backed up/renamed the source directory, and downloaded again with git, and did the two or three commands listed on the README. And it just...

Restoring the ability to mount local drives as a normal user, without password, in Debian 11

Posted 09-09-2021 at 01:20 PM by the dsc (linux-related notes)

Getting back some python-2 functionality (pip) on Debian 11/bullseye

wget https://bootstrap.pypa.io/pip/2.7/get-pip.py
python2 get-pip.py
Then you'd use "pip2 install package"
