Not A Good Day
-
My father passed away yesterday morning, around 6am. He battled the ugly devil that is cancer for a little over a year. He held on for quite a long time considering the only treatment he was eligible for was one 6-week round of radiation. Aside from that, there was no treatment. Just a year ago he was up and walking around and laughing with us all, and over the past couple of months he was mostly bed ridden, and now he's left this life. I just wanted to say something here, even though I'm not as active as I'd like to be here. I'm not much of a familiar face, but I've been around CP for a long time. I hope you all have a wonderful day, and cherish your life and the lives of those you care about, every day.

Losing a father is never easy. My sincere condolences.

My condolences to you and yours... :rose:
Have you ever just looked at someone and knew the wheel was turning but the hamster was dead? Trying to understand the behavior of some people is like trying to smell the color 9.

Sad to hear. My father walked into the hospital laughing and joking and died of congestive heart failure 7 days later. Be strong in this very rough time.

And I you. :rose: Ah, let the love-fest begin! I'm in a rather exuberant mood at the moment, because as of 10 minutes ago, I finally solved something I've been googling and oodling and noodling for the last few days: how to auto-login in to Debian on a Beaglebone Black and initialize the LCD and ttyO2 capes automatically and run whatever app I want run. And I just now figured it out!!! :jig: Linux is cool, but it also is sooooo frustrating. In some obscure corner of stackoverflow I finally came across a post saying that "inittab" (the old way of controlling logins) is obsolete, and everything nowadays is handled by "systemd". Of course, there are a gazzillion posts on how to do what I wanted to do with inittab, none of which of course work. I suppose if I were more up to snuff on Linuxee things, I would have known that "systemd" was now the in-vogue thing. Anyways, at the end of the day, Linux is again the favored suitor and there is much rejoicing in the kingdom. Marc

The strength and weakness of Linux/Unix is that you can configure / customize everything. It's a blessing and a curse. It makes the learning much more of a pain. But, when you get your head wrapped around it, it's hard to go back to a Windows server. In level of complexity, from easiest to hardest to use, it's like this: Mac -> Windows -> *nix. And it doesn't help that *nix has many influences from different vendors over the years with everyone having a hand in the pot. But, if you can survive it, you can do some really awesome stuff that would require a lot of special programming in another OS.
