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 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.
