What if I just learned Python? From what I have read it's used heavily.
What if you learned Python instead of the system shell? How do you intend to use it. Using a Python REPL for system tasks would be right on the verge of impossible.
I mean to script/collect arguments/chain/run etc
BASH is so easy to script though. I've dabbled in Perl a bit for scripting admin tasks but for the most part it's just easier to do in BASH.

Once you learn Bash, you'll also learn to appreciate it's offspring like zsh. I recently installed zsh on the little Raspberry Pi project, which I may have finished today, along with everything else.

Running massive Linux Mint updates on a Jump Server / Terminal Server right now.

One hour ago we broke our all time, one hour traffic record. This hour, we just broke it again! Traffic is going absolutely bananas.

That must be it. I've not actually had any coffee yet!

But with not a lot of posts? What does that mean, exactly?

@scottalanmiller Did you just spam your own forums with your own articles? How dare you

Trying hard to get them all moved over so that any historical info is here and not just on the WayBack Machine. Two Linux articles left to go from there.

Makes sense

You know, it might feel like a slow day but looking at the numbers, posts are solid (not high, but good) and the activity level is crazy and looking at some other sites, they are way down today. So I think that it is a generally slow day for posting. I think we are doing at least double the posting of our most comparable site.
-
@scottalanmiller How are you pulling numbers for those other sites? Just curious.

I'm subscribed to every technical post made there and see the email traffic. And it is very slow today. Slow enough that I am totally keeping up with it only casually checking in from time to time.

(FINALLY) cloning my XS boot USB stick using the writeup from @DustinB3403
Hoping and praying, but that's just me. Stupid computers.

BTW this clone is bipping along at 40MBps and dropping. (USB3.)
Wondering is that is normal. That is what I am currently doing.
