  • Well, I’d start by saying that linux has a superior story here vs batch files.

    The most direct equivalent is bash/shell scripts. However, they are far more capable. Better conditional statements, loops, variables, text manipulation. It’s always shocking to me how limited batch files are when I’ve had to deal with them. Bash/shell are more equivalent to powershell if you are familiar with that.

    But if you want something nicer/more powerful, then nearly every linux distro at this point ships with python. That’s what I’d probably use if I needed more than 100 lines of code. As a bonus you can also install python on windows/mac and keep using those scripts.

    If I wanted to install something additionally though, then I do really like the asthetics of ruby. But it’s by no means as popular.

    Perl is the old guard here and it does generally exist on all linux systems. However, I think python is superior in basically every way.



  • I suppose my very basic knowledge of terminal isn’t enough to install Gentoo, even with the handbook.

    Nope. The gentoo handbook is VERY good. Don’t skip parts on it and you can install a gentoo. You really don’t need very advanced terminal skills to get gentoo up and running. So long as you understand basics like cd/nano/ls/cat then you can pretty easily do the entire handbook.

    One thing to realize is that you can always go backwards and fix things if you make a mistake. Nothing is permanent. If you get into a “why isn’t this working” state, just go back and see if you’ve skipped something.

    This isn’t a “justice is slow” problem. This is a “the justice system only serves to punish the poor and powerless” problem.

    The fact of these files is they were in the hands of the FBI and prosecutors 20 years ago. Nothing happened as a result even though there appears to be dozens of individuals capable of being charged with crimes. That’s 20 years of incriminating evidence just sitting around collecting dust because it’d be politically inconvenient to pursue charges.

    Justice moves rapidly when a power tripping cop wants to ruin you life. It moves very slowly when a rich pedophile rapes children.








  • No problem. I’ve definitely seen a lot of baking articles that somehow try and make this simple concept unbelievably convoluted.

    The only other thing to know is that 1 mL of water = 1 gram of water. Which means 170g of water == 170 mL of water (At STP… blah blah blah. It’s not super important to hit exactly 70% you can hit 75% or 65% and you’ll be fine. It’s close enough to true).
