Just replaced a print in a Epson T88V receipt printer.
We normally send them off and it costs £100 parts and labour, just cost me 10 minutes and £37

Nothing says "good morning" like a message from someone telling me that I've won $150k from a non-existent 6 initial government agency.

Good morning Mangoes.

@thwr That's what I figured.
The second and third paragraphs of this article highlight what I thought was strange: https://blog.nexcess.net/2016/08/03/how-can-developers-make-a-living-from-gpl-plugins/
The idea that under the GPL it seems like it's allowed to take someone's work and distribute it as your own (either for free or for a fee). While that's clearly an ethical problem, it doesn't seem to be disallowed.
Of course you can. The GPL has, from day one, guaranteed that you can distribute the work and charge for it. That was explicitly built into the license as a requirement.
It's not an ethical problem in the slightest. It's not disallowed... it's a protected right. The entire GPL ecosystem is built on this.
You cannot CALL It your own, however. You must maintain the licensing and acknowledgements of the original. You cannot lie about it.
But you can fork a project and call that fork your own. AFAIK you just need to reference the original project. Or is such a reference just good practice?
Or course, all critical components of the GPL. That's what makes it so powerful. Like how NextCloud was able to protect the ownCloud code by forking it.

You have to maintain the license, nothing else.

Yeah, was pretty sure about this. You can do anything, as long as you keep (and respect) the license.

Ah,.. using something that is otherwise useless... Yes,.. I know. No reliability,... it's a dead horse. But it's something to toy with.
I've installed
- Fail2Ban
- X2go
On the 'defunct' Cloud@Cost box and am sending mail back and forth to myself.
Gives me just one more place to work on learning how to access Linux and do things....

Listening to Naruto opening songs and checking daily event viewer stuff.

Just got called at lunch, apparently our phones are only working intermittently. AT&T network outage, not my problem, but I still get to explain to users what that means...

My wife said she read something like now that she's over 38 years old, she's older than half the US population.. damn, we're old.

I think the median age in the US is 36 or 37.

So just took a quiz on SW about how much you know about DNS. The only ones I missed were the windows specific questions. What does knowing how to clear the DNS cache through PowerShell show about your DNS knowledge?
