Hi folks, Does anyone know how to instruct cron to carry out a command when a connection to the internet is first made after boot? I have a few jobs that only need to be done once per day and require an internet connection e.g downloading the weather forecast and my rss feeds. I’m not always connected to the internet on boot...

How do i set the $LANG variable without using export? I have set my locale.conf to LANG=en_US.UTF-8 but LANG is still always set to en_US which is not valid. I’d prefer not to use .bashrc or /etc/. Thanks in advance!

Can anyone recommend a simple printer for printing 6x4 inch photos, which has open source drivers? Thanks :)

If you have any suggestions or criticisms, feel free to comment them....

Edit:...

The title explains it well. But I installed Mint on a 2nd partition, then deleted it since I no longer used it, and now Grub dumps me to the command line on boot :/...

After seeing someone else posting their struggles with getting Docker running on their system, I thought I might share my process for setting up new Docker nodes. I don’t make any representations about my way being the right way, or the best way, but this way has been working for me. I have been playing around with a swarm,...

I installed a few different distros, landed on Cinnamon Mint. I’m not a tech dummy, but I feel I’m in over my head....
