Hello,

Longtime windoze user (because work, gaming, programming, lazybess, ...) I'm switching over to Linux Mint (a slow long process that might finally end up with just a little win-box for the printer and a soft or two) on all my everyday pc:s so I'm trying to get more into the nitty gritty stuff here, and I have long time heard that the:

UNIX and Linux System Administration Handbook (4th Edition)

Is like the Linux Bible...

Is it still so? Is it still worth the money or are there better books out there?

Cheers!

and I will not ask for the meaning of 20047 or the Englishy greenish color ๐Ÿ˜‰

It's NO in ASCII and I'm not a native English speaker... and this thing doesn't have auto correct, underline or suggestions ๐Ÿ˜’ (Jerboa).

The correct way to share a community on Lemmy (so that apps recognize it as a Lemmy community) is with an exclamation mark, as in your last example. The search in Jerboa (as is with other apps) is broken, doesn't work like it should. Use the web UI search on your instance, you'll find the community.

Thanks, and it works today, guess my instance had some hiccup yesterday...

Ah yes of course! I was thinking of the leet codes put in stack memory or something ๐Ÿ˜ (like IIRC Nintendos DS compiler put 0xDEAD all over it some other was 0xC0FFEE.. etc, it was to catch stack overflows).

Hmm... didn't know that... but that makes sense ๐Ÿ‘... the overflows I mean... good tip, thanks ๐Ÿ˜‰.
