A: How do you terminate a DHCP lease in OpenWrt? There is not a way to do this from the Web UI (LuCI). Instead: SSH into the router Delete the corresponding line from `/tmp/dhcp.leases` However, note that this is not enough to get a new IP. Clients tend to request a renewal of the IP they had before, and the router will grant it if it does... (more) |

Dnsmasq vs. dnscrypt-proxy I am trying to run a DNS server on my LAN. I set it up where: Dnsmasq is the "initial" server that clients see Dnsmasq resolves internal domains, and handles overrides (such as if I want to block an ad domain) via its `dnsmasq.conf` file Dnscrypt-proxy also runs on the same machine, and dnsma...

Run a command *later* How can I run a command later? I'm looking for a CLI way to schedule a command to be run later. I know that I could create a systemd timer, install it, activate it... That is too much work. I want something like `runlater 10min somecmd` and `somecmd` runs 10 min later. I don't want to do `sleep... (more) |

Ripgrep for example has a great way of handling cases. If query is all lower case, it does case insensitive. If it has upper case chars, it is case sensitive. You can also force case sensitive with a switch. (more) |

A: Ergonomic way to search man pages Not a real answer, but these days there are some nice LLM models and they're good at summarizing text. If you have the CLI scripts to interact with them, you can submit the man page as the "system prompt" (in ChatGPT parlance) and ask the question in the "user prompt". This will be somewhat slow a...

| Question | — |
Ergonomic way to search man pages You often have to read man pages to use Linux/Unix software. However, many man pages are not easy to read. They are very long, not always conveniently arranged, and `man` does not appear to have any way to handle indices or sections. A great example is `man rsync`. I am often in a situation where ...

A: Internet connection and touchpad not working on Ubuntu 22.04 after a force shut down This won't be an exact answer. I think with the way it's described, there could be many reasons why the issue manifests. However, the good news is that the live ISO works, therefore the problem is NOT a bug in the Linux kernel or Ubuntu OS. I think that if you did a fresh install of Ubuntu, your h... (more) |

Do I have to update Guix frequently like Arch? Guix is a rolling release distro. Another well known rolling release distro is Arch Linux. In Arch, you are expected to frequently do system updates. Partial updates are not supported. In my experience, what happens when you try to partially update package `X`, it turns out it now depends on packa... (more) |

Low impact trial installation of Guix to test hardware compatibility I like how Guix sounds based on what I've read, and I want to try it. However, my partitioning scheme is a bit complicated. With Guix it appears like my biggest concern is hardware (I will regrettably need the non-free drivers). So I don't want to resize and move my partitions around, install Guix, o... (more) |

Static IP on wired LAN I have an Arch Linux machine connected to a LAN by ethernet. The router runs OpenWRT. DHCP assigns IPs to this machine like `192.168.1.` - quite typical. I want the IP to always be `192.168.1.10`. Ideally, I would like to do this through configuration on the machine only, without configuring an... (more) |
