(Solved) This will be used in CLI mode to do some tiny programming and text file note-taking. Having WiFi would be nice. The price has got to be CHEAP. ARM is ok.

OP decided to kill windows on the Timberborn machine and go with Debian.

root@cube:~# df -h / Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/sda2 116G 41G 70G 37% /

Is it time to clean up?

Updates - Formatting, one more small information.

I have been hunting documentation and trying things in my .emacs file for 2 days now..

The type of message that appears at the bottom of the screen, one example is "Save the file ? (y,n,! ...." On my system it is dark blue on black. Also "Modified buffers exist..." dark blue on black - hard to read. What face is that?

Here is what I have tried so far:

(custom-set-faces
  '(mode-line ((t (:foreground "white" :background "blue" :weight bold))))
  '(warning ((t (:foreground "yellow" :weight bold))))
  '(error ((t (:foreground "yellow" :weight bold))))
  '(success ((t (:foreground "yellow" :weight bold))))
  '(default ((t (:foreground "white" :background "black"))))
  '(minibuffer-prompt ((t (:foreground "yellow" :weight bold))))
  '(shadow ((t (:foreground "yellow"))))
  '(completions-common-part ((t (:foreground "yellow"))))
  '(completions-first-difference ((t (:foreground "yellow" :weight bold))))
  '(default ((t (:foreground "white" :background "black"))))
 )

describe-face for another prompt with the same coloring says it is the default face. So I tried changing that from the M-x prompt but that turned my screen white on yellow.

The mode-line line works - my active mode line is white on blue.

Does it matter that I am running emacs in a tty instead of the GUI version?

I have a machine who's mission is to run FreeDOS. It will do this most of the time, but sometimes it would be nice to be able to get it connected to a modern network to transfer DOS files out to my 'production machine' If DOS is like Windows the system clock ticks local time, but usually Linux likes UTC time - so this may be an issue that needs resolving too.

UPDATE - For now I have Debian in multi-user mode. I have set Grub to remember what I chose last so reboots from FreeDOS are hands free after ctrl-alt-del (Just like if FreeDOS were the only OS here) I have set the clock in Debian to run on the local timezone too, Thanks over_clox. Please continue to recommend your favorite distro.

I was attempting to capture the full moon tonight using my Canon EOS R50 mounted on a tripod. I had a telephoto lens attached to the camera via a Canon adapter, as this lens was originally designed for my father's Canon Digital Rebel and had an incompatible mount for the R50.

While zoomed in on the moon to fill the frame, I observed an unexpected behavior: the camera appeared to automatically zoom the image back out. I was under the impression that the camera itself lacked the capability to adjust the zoom setting, but the viewfinder clearly indicated a change in magnification

Update: In case it is important, the lens has image stabilization built in, but I have it turned off as it lets me set focus and recompose better.

I am thinking of starting a project and I am looking to see if there is any interest. This will be an interpreted language that is very much like the language used in the HP41C, except you get labels to jump to (to avoid needing to renumber as one does in BASIC) and named variables instead of registers. The interpreter would interpret text source code directly, and would be capable of producing textual and numeric output

It will be a pretty big undertaking and I would rather only do it if there was a 'market' for it. The program will be distributed under an open source license.

Anyone?

I just got a notice from Samsung that they have new a new Privacey policy. When I get to the policy page it is blank except for a "Accept new policy" and text saying I must accept the policy to see it. I clicked the button - then that screen closed. What?? no policy? BTW - this was not sent as a normal text and does not show up in messages.

An HOA (home owners associations) can say what color you can paint your house, What you can plant in your yard, What you can have in your driveway, and some even say what color your blinds can be.

Microsoft controls your computer, they say what info is sent back to Microsoft, and they say when you must upgrade. They can shut down your computer when they want whether you like it or not.

Mine: ISO, Drive Mode, Battery Info, Digital Zoom. I have 2 more slots. Does your camera provide this feature? What is on your custom menu?

Hi fellow photographers!

• Do you render your digital pictures on paper (print)?

• Do you use a printer in the home for it?

• What printer do you use?

• What printer would you recommend with cost vs quality in mind? (8.5 x 11 prints would be fine)

• Do you send your pictures to a commercial printer?

• Do you goto the nearest Staples or Walmart and use the printers there?

{Solved Thanks}

Would there be any interest? header tags are used to make table of contents, anchor tags create Index entries, all the formatting tags (tables, un-numbered and numbered lists etc) do basic print formatting. All the bold/underline/italic also render to paper. Sort of like a poor man's TeX.

Has anyone done this?

First, please let me apologize for my lack of proper vocabulary. 😃

I have a Canon EOS R50 with the stock 18 to 45 lens.

I need a stronger telephoto capability, to take bird pictures, the moon, get that lone oak tree out in a field etc. There are devices that one can place between the lens and the body to <>, right? Would it be better to get one of these or to buy another whole lens? I am assuming the adapter would be less expensive. Money is a factor. (isn't it always?)
