Linux

How I Learned To Stop Worrying And Love linux Linux is a powerful tool, and OS where many programmers and developers make it their home for building their application. As all things it has a learning curve and the fact that there are many variants (or Distribution) does not help. WSL When starting from a Windows machine wsl is the easiest and most straigh forward way to start using linux.

Raspbery pi

Getting started with a raspberry pi Configuration There are many ways of configuring network interfaces via modifying configuration files . sudo raspi-config sudo nano /etc/dhcpcd.conf service networking reload service networking restart Find Raspbery PI hostname whoami #username ping <hostname>.local -4 ssh <username>.<hostname> sudo ifconfig eth0 up sudo matlab-rpi-setup Configure SSH Multiple private keys can be added using ssh-add``. However for this to work the _ssh-agent_ must be activated. To check if it activated Open power shell and get information about the service if it is stoped, ssh-add`` won’t work. Configure the service as manual so it will be activated via ssh-agent. With the agent running locate the file path of the private key you want to add and pass is a ssh-add if lJ .

Introduction to programming

What is programming? Well, I think that is a muddy question, because it encapsulates a wide range of activities with an even broader set of tools. If I had to give you a short definition it would be that programming is laying a set of rules for the computer to follow. It sounds extremely simple, but it is a process you can build upon and iterate layer over layer until these instructions create amazing software with complex functionality.

About the site

The about section holds a formal presentation of who I am. This however is a more lay back version where I intend to explore and also document different experiences. What I am currently interested in Computers Organizations Information Robots Cybernetics How do you justify your existence? This is a phrase that has stuck with me since the first time I read it in The Tales of the Black Widowers by Isaac Asimov. Asimov is one of my favorite authors. He encapsulates a genuine wonder for the world and all what is around him. Through the lense of science fiction he builds a reflection of our own world with little sprinkles of speculation here and there to make something that feels foreign and yet very familiar. So my way of answering this question would be.

Quotebook

This is a collection of quotes I found interesting in one way or another. Literature The fact we live at the bottom of a deep gravity well, on the surface of a gas covered planet going around a nuclear fireball 90 million miles away and think this to be normal is obviously some indication of how skewed our perspective tends to be. — Douglas Adams Así también un orbe entero, con toda su pequeñez y su grandeza, puede ubicarse en una estrella que titila en la inmensidad del espacio, y así como la mera ciencia humana es capaz de dividir un rayo de luz y analizar su composición, así tambien otras inteligencias más excelsas podrán leer acaso en el tenue brillar de esta tierra nuestra todo pensamiento y toda acción, todo vicio y toda virtud de cada uno de los seres responsables que la pueblan.
