HOWTO: Use a DisplayLink USB graphics adapter on Crunchbang Linux v11 Waldorf with partial upgrade to Debian Jessie

I recently was able to get my Diamond-branded DisplayLink USB graphics adapter to work with a system onto which I had freshly installed Crunchbang 11 by:

• switching to Debian Jessie repository
• blacklisting udlfb kernel mod
• messing with xrandr a bit

Upgrading to Jessie

Colin Dean's programming language history

This is a fun Gantt chart showing when I was exposed to various programming languages or domain-specific languages. It is of course no indicator of my ability to be productive in them, only when I can remember an approximation of the first time I used them for any purpose.

This was a fun exercise in remembering when I picked up various things for various reasons. You can see some patterns, like when I was first learning in high school, then college, then my first jobs, then my second, etc.

How to expand an Linux Logical Volume Management (LVM) volume to use a resized virtual disk

Backstory

A Linux virtual machine I use for hosting containerized services in my home lab recently ran out of disk space. I decided to allocate more disk space to it since I had plenty to spare. It turns out that when I'd created the VM, I'd given the virtual hard drive only 200 GB but sometime between then and now, I'd increased the allocation to 1 TB. Strangely, I never checked to see if the VM was using the full terabyte! Frustrated that it wasn't, I set about rectifying the situation.

The source for https://install.python-poetry.org is not in https://github.com/python-poetry/poetry

TL;DR There are two different versions of install-poetry.py out there. Make sure you're using the right one!

The recommended path to install Poetry is this:

curl -sSL https://install.python-poetry.org | python3 -
