Try using an LLM.
I tried to timebox myself with a Python OCR solution, but ended up spending way more time than I should've, without ever arriving at a good solution.
I then tried using Qwen 235B via Brave's Leo AI, and got some okay results (I think you'll have better luck with commercial AI models; I just don't have an account with them atm)
What does the PDF look like? Can you not OCR it into something like a CSV, and import it in Excel?
Yes. Via Vehicular Manburger Helper.
I'd just use awk.
I used ternary for a few days (which let's you count to 59048 on two hands, 242 on one), but then realized I never needed to count that high, so reverted to binary (now, I can count to 1023 on two hands, 31 on one hand).
Just use SSH keys.
And use SSH urls (git@....) instead of HTTPS urls (https://...) when cloning.
I won't have any of them as my sibling!
Explaining like you are 5:
If you have worked with programming languages, you might have come across global variables and inbuilt functions/keywords. PATH is a similar global variable for your terminal session.
Every time you open up a terminal, you load up these "global variables", and you/programs can access them (or the applications assigned to them).
So, let's say you have your application (executable) as /home/werecat/corncob/bin/corn, instead of starting it with ./home/werecat/corncob/bin/corn ..., if you have /home/werecat/corncob/bin in your PATH variable, you can just use it as corn ....
export PATH="/home/werecat/corncob/bin:$PATH"
just means:
PATH = /home/werecat/corncob/bin + PATHIf you see somewhere to add it to your /home/werecat/.bashrc file, it means "all commands in .bashrc file are auto-executed every time you start a new terminal session, so if you have it there, you won't need to manually keep entering the command over and over again".
You can list these environment variables by just running:
env
Also, recommend you have a look at https://www.freecodecamp.org/news/how-to-set-an-environment-variable-in-linux/.
Hope this helps. Good luck on your Linux journey.
I'm glad that you want to switch to Linux, but I think there'd be open source solutions for Windows too. I daily drive Linux, and I would begin with looking for open source timers if I ever need timers. Why not do the same in Windows too?
Here are a few: https://alternativeto.net/software/free-countdown-timer/?platform=windows&license=opensource
Try launching the program from a terminal, and see if there are any GPU specific log messages. May be also have a look via journalctl.
Also nvtop and nvitop gives you a GPU monitor.
And why would you trust your own ISP more than reputable VPNs?
Sure, this statement is very valid for (free) VPNs which are not reputable, and act as data mines instead of providing true privacy; but your statement reads very much like we do not need VPNs at all.
ISPs know what sites you are visiting and when, and they are ready to comply with the government. Also, we have acts like Online Safety Act (UK), which incentivizes more data collection. Combine that with age verification on every site, and you are basically giving away your browsing history.
I agree that a VPN alone is not going to protect you, and you need to authenticate less into websites, and clear your cookies after every browser session (basically good OpSec). However, I also think that reputable providers like Mullvad and Proton are a must.
