Linux tip - Keep Wifi On!

I have one laptop - a Fujitsu Lifebook T732 - which ALWAYS disables WiFi the first time the lid is closed. I've messed with BIOS settings with no luck.

My crude simple fix is an autostart shell script which simply turns on wifi every 23 seconds:

#!/bin/sh
while true; do
nmcli radio wifi on
sleep 23
done

The command "nmcli radio wifi on" is the NetworkManager Command Line Interface command, turning the radio button for "enable wifi" on.

A meme showing a common Linux command line error. Top text says: "my folder: Downloads" "me: cd downloads" "Linux:" Below is an image of Loki from Marvel’s Thor movies saying, “I’ve never met this man in my life,” implying Linux doesn’t recognize the folder due to incorrect capitalization.

For Linux (Ubuntu) I find 2 utilities to do battery management on laptops.
laptop-mode-tools and TLP.
Does anyone know if those are 2 means to the same end, or is there a difference?

has anyone successfully installed a #Linux distro on a #Macbook Pro 2010 (macbook 7,1)? I want to triple boot Snow Leopard, Windows XP, and a linux distro (preferably Debian-based) but I'm having issues with installation, either generic/unknown errors or GRUB won't #install

I'm new to manual partitioning, so maybe I'm missing something past the usual ext4 partition and the swap partition.

Here's the documentation on the #Arch #Linux wiki about #LUKS key files:

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Dm-crypt/Device_encryption#Keyfiles

#crypto #Cryptography

Today I learned that #LUKS supports key files in addition to passphrases.

I guess I need to update my #KeePass key file generator page and make it more generic.

@demerara @AutisticInnovator I think it's cool to be using DOS software in an emulator (then #Linux gets to be the OS underneath the emulator)! Just saying: surely the Gnucash of 2025 can exceed the Quicken of 1991 in terms of functionality.

I think Quicken just has a sort of penumbra of sanctity - better not rock the boat - that nobody wants to really challenge. It's similar to Adobe. It has its fiat reputation keeping it alive (despite annoying many people with pricing strategies), keeping it as the incumbent in its domain, so again that's a technology which sort of "staples" people to Windows and MacOS.

@AutisticInnovator Alas, there is no Quicken for #Linux. The #OpenSource geeks made their own competitor called #GnuCash. I'm wondering what #Quicken can do, which GnuCash can't do.

A lack of finance-related/accounting software is one of the sore spots in the world of #Linux. All the accountants of the world wouldn't dream of switching to Linux. And they are always the ones close to the money - you basically can't marginalize them or ignore them somehow. Whatever crazy dystopian future #Microsoft (with #Windows 11 and beyond) or #Apple envisions, the world of finance insists on a front-row seat on the train to go to that place, taking everyone else along with them, pretty much.

So is it normal for a command line tool, when it’s *clearly* not being run from an interactive shell, to wait forever for an interactive confirmation by the user, instead of exiting with a message asking to use the force flag? #Linux #CLI #Shell
