  • That I can fix their computer or home network.

    Sorry, Bubba, if your router costs less than my PC, there's not much I can do. Same answer if your PC costs less than my car.

    Also, I haven't been good at troubleshooting windows (to the extent that is at all possible) since Tobey was Spiderman.

  • My dad lost his arm in the late 90s in a work related accident. He described it as painful but was surprised at how it didn't feel worse right there and then. Probably due to shock.

    He was working alone in the middle of the night with his tractor when it happened, so he picked up what remains of his left arm he could find into a bucket and drove to the local nursery home because he knew there were people awake there 24/7. I guess that's one definition of grace under pressure.

    Upon arrival he got the emergency help he needed there and then and a while later he told us that while waiting for the medevac helicopter to be summoned, he was annoyed again about the pain, thinking "Isn't this where I'm supposed to faint?".

    Later he had the occasional phantom pain. He didn't struggle with it that much, and it usually passed after a few moments, but he told me that the worst parts was when he had an itch, or a finger was Ina weird position, he could do nothing about it since the limb simply wasn't there anymore.

    His arm was severed by a tractor-operated snowblower right below the elbow.

    Fun fact: When the thaw of spring arrived he was happy to learn that someone had found his wristwatch in the retreating ice. Still working just fine. A little later someone found a wedding ring and correctly guessed that it belonged to the guy who got maimed there a few months earlier.

  • bash setup/config/PS1 is your friend here. I frequently find myself with a myriad of terminals between a bunch of usernames and servers at work, and setting up a proper prompt is key to help you keep track.

    My bashrc makes my prompt look like this:

    username@hostname:/absolute/path
    $ inputgoeshere

    ... with color coding, of course. Yes, I use a multiline prompt. I somehow never saw that before using ParrotSec despite being a bash user for 25 years. I modified the ParrotSec default to suit my needs better, and I like it:

    • Obvious which user I am.
    • Obvious which host I'm on.
    • Obvious which path I'm in.
    • It's easy to copy and paste a complete source/destination for pasting into, for example, an rsync comman

    I pasted my PS1 config here: https://pastebin.com/ZcYwabfB

    Stick that line near the bottom of your ~/.bashrc file if you want to try it out.

  • Those are directory listings. They are the default in apache2 (maybe others as well... I only know apache2), unless disabled or disallowed in the configs (enabled and allowed by default). If the directory you're accessing such as http://192.168.123.123/somedir/ does not contain a default file, such as an index.html, the directory list will be served instead.
