Once again, it's time for the FNGT!

If you don't know how this works, . That link will take you to another site to give you some additional information and tell you about some of our off-site features. That's also the site where we will host the weekly guitar threads, should Poal go down.

NOTE: That site is by invitation only. If you want an invite, and you're a regular participant, then just ask COF, Crazy, or TheBuddha.

If you do know what's going on, you probably don't need to click that link - but you may want to, to make sure you know of the other features, such as the archive or a separate forum that's invite only.

Remember, we are guests here on Poal. Let's act like it. If you're interested in supporting Poal, then .

I have not learned any coding language since fortran.

I've got basic skills in a few languages and very rusty skills in a number of other languages.

I definitely wouldn't do anything professional, though I do write some snippets for people at the various Linux sites. They're usually simple things.

exiftool -overwrite_original -all= *.png ; exiftool -overwrite_original -all= *.jpg ; echo $PWD 'images cleaned for privacy sake!'

That's how I sanitize pics before uploading them, for example. It's aliased to 'picclean'. So, I open the folder in the terminal and type 'picclean' and it sanitizes all the images in that folder. It then tells me which folder it cleaned and that it did in fact clean them, as well as how many pictures it cleaned of each type.

That works. I just open the properties and remove all metadata

That does it for every file in a directory with just one command. I fucking love Linux, probably because I'm inherently lazy when it comes to computing. I automate EVERYTHING that I can. I hate repeating work. So, I automate it away.

This is how I fix a recurring problem with VirtualBox:

alias fixvbox="sudo apt-get install dkms build-essential linux-headers-generic -y ; sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r) -y; sudo apt install --reinstall virtualbox -y"
