    My father, who is about 600 miles away, keeps asking what console we have so he can game with us. The Steam Machine, aka Gabecube, is the perfectboptuon for him IMO. We always play Steam games, it’s a console like experience, and I win because I can day he’s running Linux! :-)

    If the video creators opinions are close on price, I’m all in on it. I can’t wait to find out more.

    Wow I’m just so surprised. I was there when they were bought out and they kept saying over and over again it’s a separate company. And I always said “for now”. What a shocker.

    Management kept telling us based on the acquisition IBM wasn’t allowed to fully consume Red Hat. Again which I said " for now".

    Oh so surprised … Fuck corporations. I sit have friends at Red Hat and it just keeps getting worse there from what I hear. Quantity is more important than quality.

    If you’re a customer the only way to get a resolution now is demand a phone call as they’re no longer able to deny that and work on the case. They’re just a call center and not real support.

    This is the answer. Everyone assumes your user Crontab works just like you. It doesn’t. You have to be explicit as possible, because it’s basically like another person attempting to run your stuff, but not having any of your environment variables.

    So you’re telling it to CD, but calling the script name then tells it to look in it’s path, which it won’t have that. T

    he ./ says ‘run from right where I am right now’ while ‘<scriptname>’ says run an executable where ever it is which then immediately checks $PATH, bit not local.

    So ‘./<script name>’ says run my script and it’s right HERE in the place you’re in right now.
