PS0 ftw :)
The following should be on one line in .bashrc (or any other shell
supporting PS0 I guess):
export PS0='\[\033[48;5;46m\]\[\033[38;5;0m\]\D{%Y%m%d}@\t\[\033[00m\]\n'
To think of finding this after 27 years of 'nux, on a whim of "that
would be a good idea, Bash should have a patch made for auto
timestamping of each command just before it runs from the command
line, rather than just in the prompt string PS1; oh wait, let's
double check man bash und (note the Germanic variant of "and" for the
TDS win) see if there's anything related to PS1; oh hallelujah,
there's something called PS0, of course, that is the logical way to do
this, thank you God's of MUH Bash bros (Muh United Hackers of Bash)"
Most likely it was every man and his dog who's ever used a command
prompt before, excepting my extraordinarily humble self, who already
knew of PS0.
Enjoy ;0
Re: 4 Billion years of climate change
We're having some just lovely climate change this morning - a really warm mid-autumn day, the birds taking dives in the bird bath and dappled sun rays rocking too and fro through the oak tree. Damn I love climate change :D Zen On Fri, May 10, 2019 at 08:05:51AM +1000, Gil May wrote: > 4 Billion years of climate change > > Dear Politicians, as you appear to have missed many important lessons at > school, we would like to let you know the earth has had an eve- changing > climate for billions of years, it is not anything new and within the normal > range.

When an investigatory agency receives a directive to take someone down, or individuals in such agencies develop personal a personal grudge against someone, they shift gears from passive observation to active harassment. A very long time ago, I fed a snitch "bad information" on purpose, then turn him against his buddies in blue. He was fishing for information about criminal activities some of my old friends never did, and that /really/ pissed me off. It turned out that 'they' already had me listed for disposal, so my instincts did not mislead me: I had nothing to lose by kicking their shins... According to my source, the principal technique police investigators use to dispose of inconvenient people consists of interviewing their employers, any 'friends of the force' they may happen to know. Their leading questions paint a picture of the victim as a member of a terrorist conspiracy, an uncaught serial rapist, or whatever else the interviewee would most strongly react to. After learning all they can about the targeted individual from these interviews, investigators sit back and let the seeds they have planted do their work. The victim usually finds him or herself unemployed soon enough after the employer has "learned the truth." Keeping the targeted individual unemployed by poisoning background checks, and/or by responding promptly with the above mentioned tactics when any new employer files State documents (sometimes within hours these days, thanks to Surveillance State infrastructure) follows. How can a targeted individual turn this off? In some cases, a criminal conviction - any criminal conviction - might do the trick: Mission accomplished, etc. In some cases, moving to another State might do the trick - if the scope of the harassment does not extend past a County or State agency. Just maintaining a low profile and allowing time to pass might reduce the active harassment below the threshold where it matters. In some instances, explaining the situation to a potential employer in advance of the approach by a hostile party might - but lots of luck finding prospects who would not assume you're a paranoid looney. :o/ signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature
FBI investigating 850 cases of potential domestic terrorism
"FBI investigating 850 cases of potential domestic terrorism: The FBI has nearly 850 domestic terrorism investigations underway, and the number of cases targeting white supremacists, white nationalists, and other racially-motivated extremists has jumped in the past six months, federal law enforcement officials told the House Committee on Homeland Security on Wednesday. The head of the FBI's counterterrorism division, Assistant Director Michael McGarrity, said that about 40 percent of those investigations target subjects who adhere to racist ideologies, and "a significant majority" of them are white nationalists or white supremacists. The vast majority of the other cases involve subjects who promote anti-government or anti-authority sentiments, McGarrity testified." https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/feds-now-investigating-850-domestic-terrorists-us-fbi/story?id=62907157
