Nice to hear from you!

Yes, same person, same podcast, every day a new adventure.

FYI, you can get the podcast via email if you prefer text. https://podcasts.vk6flab.com/podcasts/foundations#h.p_5mvxhfPqGKj6

I’ve been eyeing off my own PlutoSDR and have experimented with various firmware projects, most recently played with a project that offers a web interface to a waterfall display of the spectrum. https://maia-sdr.org/

A while ago I also patched the dump1090 tool to use open street map,. https://github.com/vk6flab/dump1090

The real question is: Why?

Here’s some answers to your question:

1. Backup your data, nuke the drive, start again.
2. chroot is the tool for the job. Backup your data before you accidentally nuke your drive.
3. Shrink the partition and write a new one in the empty space, but backup your data before you accidentally nuke your drive.
4. Connect an external drive, install on it, but backup your data before you accidentally nuke your drive.

Finally, the reason that the wiki didn’t help is that the question is asked by either a person with not enough experience, or one who doesn’t need the wiki. This is a non trivial process and you should backup your data before you proceed, lest you accidentally nuke your drive.

Edit:

Also, anything you break can be fixed … but only if you have a backup.

Yes, you can run it remotely too.

The biggest challenges with Docker are:

• You need to install a lot of stuff to use it.
• You cannot create a volume across the network

Many people think of Docker as a virtual machine, but a better way to look at it is as a security wrapper around a process.

For example, this project allows you to setup your build to store the build artefacts on your workstation while not having to install a crap ton of stuff to build it in the first place.

I use it for tools where I don’t care about the tool, just the data it produces. With a symbolic link to the launch command … see the examples … running a process locally is indistinguishable from running it remotely.

Please do not make blanket statements like this without context or evidence. Electrical systems across the world are not implemented in the same way, which is why you need to discuss this with your locally authorised electrician.

I’ve had similar “fun” with the character defaults on MySQL, from memory for a time it was Swedish by default, rather than UTF.

I’m guessing that they pasted code from inside Microsoft Word.

Remember … with great power comes … something.

Hmm … we should start collecting these.

Anyone know of an existing list?

If you look at the UTF definition, it seems that there are at least four of them. The weird one in your comment might actually be one of the other two because as far as I can tell, the “Greek Question Mark” looks identical to the “semicolon”.

Just the last one, right before the EOF.

Speaking of EOF, I wonder what a heredoc might do with this 😇

You are right … but, you’re not thinking big enough.

Think … sticky tape on the bottom of a mouse.

… saved …

Hmm … bash.

Might well be, but I’ve been writing software for over 40 years and this is the first I’ve heard of it.

Unicode is a way to encode the things that humans use to write stuff into a computer.

ASCII is for example another way, as is EBCDIC.

All these methods translate squiggles that we’ve used for centuries into something that can be represented inside a computer.

For example, the letter “A” is under ASCII represented by the number 65.

This post is pointing out that there are two characters that look identical, but have different numbers, which means that what the user sees is identical, but what the computer sees is different.

This is the basis for much tomfoolery.

Wow!

This seems to be further evidence that the process for assigning UTF entities has been thoroughly corrupted.

You can (apparently) copy/paste this on mobile:

“;” (Greek question mark)

“;” (Semicolon)

You can even render it in HTML:

    ;
    ;

And it’s included on Wikipedia, because of course it is:

• https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Question_mark

Because I’m not sure what my mobile client will actually do with this comment, here’s the link to the HTML entity I used:

• https://www.compart.com/en/unicode/U+037E

Also there’s plenty of other character joy to be had:

Is there an echo in here … echo in here … in here … here …
