Command Line 'Pastebin'

Posted on Oct 26, 2018 by kingbeowulf


I keep forgetting this command so let's drop it here for future reference. On the command line, invoking

1cat ~/some_file.txt | nc termbin.com 9999

will print the URL of the data to stdout. See also:

Netcat-based command line pastebin.

Slackware-current popped in kernel 4.19. After X.org and Mesa updates, will that finally allow me to drop the horrors of Nvidia driver management for a full AMDGPU open source gaming platform? One can hope!

Gridcoin-Research Buildscript on Slackbuilds.org

Posted on Oct 22, 2018 by kingbeowulf


Gridcoin-Research is now on the SBo. Gridcoin (GRC) is a cryptocurrency based on bitcoin, but instead of burning up the electrical grid, and requiring banks of GPUs and specialized ASICs, the GRC awards are based on participation in BOINC scientific computing projects. I added a banner link below. Everything a Slackware user needs to build and install should now be on Slackbuilds.org. Please note that GRC Wallet 4.0.0.0 is in is the SBo Approved queue and is a mandatory update. If something is missing to build packages for either GRC or BOINC, please let me know.

Gridcoin: Rewarding Volunteer Distributed Computing

BOINC: Compute for Science

Berkeley Open Infrastructure for Network Computing

If you are in interested in exploring cryptocurrency and blockchain, this is a good place to start.



Gkrellm on Slackware

Posted on Oct 21, 2018 by kingbeowulf


For some reason unknown to me, gkrellm ships without a desktop file. This has annoyed me for years so here is a simple one for placing into $HOME/.local/share/applications/

1[Desktop Entry]
2Name=GKrellM System Monitor
3Comment=Monitor for CPU, memory, disks, network, mail
4Exec=gkrellm
5Icon=gkrellm
6Terminal=false
7Type=Application
8Categories=System;
