100% kids need this and no smart mobile phone. maybe give dumb Nokia for texting and emergency. but that is all. some social media apps are very dangerous these days combined with AI. You need to protect your kids and family from these tech bros.

@elhackernet sin duda Python es un gran lenguaje, y estudiarlo es muy recomendable, el único detalle que veo en la nota es que el crecimiento se dió porque la IA ha hecho la tarea y no el programador en si.

Sé más de alguno dirá que es lo de hoy, pero esto dónde deja el aprendizaje de la gente?

Running out of disk space on your Linux, macOS, BSD, or Unix-like OS? Or perhaps you're hitting the classic disk quota limits set by your sysadmin? Fear not. Run `du -sh * | sort -h` command to get a sorted list of your directory sizes so you can remove or compress unwanted files. Here is another useful shell alias:
```
alias ducks='du -cks -- * | sort -rn | head'
ducks
```

SSH brute force login attempts 🤣 It is time to hide your ssh port behind a vpn? I say, disable password based login and only use the 2FA protected ssh keys based login and ensure TCP/port 22 is rate limited.

I've more tips for you. Read: OpenSSH Server Best Security Practices cyberciti.biz/tips/linux-unix- if you want to protect yourself from such attacks.

Hey, Anthropic owes me $9000! They illegally used at least 3 of my books on LibGen to create Claude. Now they're paying a $1.5 billion settlement, at $3000 per book. See if *your* books are on the list:

anthropiccopyrightsettlement.c

If so, you have until March 23, 2026 to file a claim. The above website lets you file a claim, but this one explains everything more clearly:

authorsguild.org/advocacy/arti

Actually I exaggerated: the payment will be split between authors and publishers, but I have to make the claim - so the settlement is making me do some work my publisher should be doing for me. My coauthors and I will just get half, $4500. One of these books has 2 coauthors, one has 3, and one is a book I edited, with essays by lots of authors. So $1000 is a more realistic estimate of what I get. Oh well.

Bizarrely, my most popular book, Gauge Fields, Knots and Gravity, is not on the list. But I guess it's not surprising:

"The settlement agreement discloses that approximately 500,000 titles out of the 7 million copies of books that Anthropic reportedly downloaded from LibGen and PiLiMi meet the definition required to be part of the class."

Only books whose copyright is registered with the US Library of Congress meet that defiinition!

If you have a book on the list, you can opt out of the current settlement and join future lawsuits. But you have to take action to do that!!! For more information on that, see item 40 here:

Here's a small tip for Unix and Linux developers and IT pros: Want to run the same command again at the terminal? In most modern shells (tcsh, zsh, bash), you can simply type "!!".

For example, say you forget to use sudo:
yum upgrade -y
pkg upgrade -y

Instead of typing the whole command again, just do this:
sudo !!

This is a lifesaver for longer commands. Give it a try!

This screenshot shows how to execute the most recent command again in your terminal, most modern shells (tcsh, zsh, and bash) support typing !! to repeat it. For example:
sudo !!

Type this `tr ':' '\n' <<<"$PATH"` instead of `echo "$PATH"` to print nicely printed search PATH on your Linux, macOS, FreeBSD or Unix computer. The command for bash/ksh/sh and compatible shell is:
tr ':' '\n' <<<"$PATH"

A screenshot shows outputs of the `tr ':' '\n' <<<"$PATH"` command which is a list of directories to search.

Here is a quick little tip: You can hit `Ctrl-D` to quickly exit from a shell (remote/ssh or local), or logout from a login shell. No need to type the `exit` on your Linux, macOS or Unix systems.
