This is good information. But its a bit broad based. For what im looking for

Not true about polarity always needing a multimeter…A lot of times the wire will have a white on black line or one of the two adjoined wires will be scored to delineate positive and negative. A lot of times I’ve found that if the wires go into the converter, they do not twist or go different directions, so the side of the wire corresponds to the wall prong it lines up with.

do i still need to port forward my HA server though port :8123? Thats where I am having issues.

not all heroes wear capes thank you so much mate

The only example I think of where a write to, but no read permission is allowed would be a log of some kind.

O freaking K. I get it now. Thanks shawn. Awesome as always

One thing that must be known about Linux, is that anything that can be completed on a Terminal can be completed on a Graphics User Interface (GUI).

Windows, turn on WSL, it's a great transition for learning on Windows. You can boot and use several different distros all with it connected to Windows. I run Kali Linux and Ubuntu. Mostly for cyber security aligned stuff and learning about servers. Arch and Mint are quite popular in the user space.

As an electronics hobbyist, theese are in-valuable when I need a quick and dirty way to power up experiments. Theyr'e also good for powering projects. For instance the home made amplified speakers I'm listening to this on are powered of an old laptop adapter!

Fantastic video Shawn!

Your 120 volt a/c to 12 volt a/c adapters are for low voltage garden lights. The reason being is if you run d/c voltage through the underground wires you will cause the wiring to corrode.

Since they kicked Wally out of The Bronco's and did not allow him to play for Australia because he'd beat Reg Gaznier's record, I never watched Rugby League again. He was flying into Training in helicopters 🙄 Teammates should had recognised that is how quickly "get things done people" get things done. "You will not believe this! but Wally has gone in for a try during the break!" When those blokes walked out shouting, "Queenslander!" it was like the Maroon from their Jersey's thundered through the turf of Lang Park and straight up into your own Nuts! These days, it's all quite meaningless. Garry Jack, Ben Ellis, Wayne Pearce, Des Hassler, you would watch the weekend games just to know who'd ya'd be up against in Origin. "Hang on, something went on in the background... Lindner just got flattened by Roach!" "Oh! ya don't do! take your eyes off a Front Rowwer when he's got you linned up." Then! "Goes to Bobby Lindner! Try to Bobby Linder!" I carried a cd copy of "Bring Back the Biff" with me into Western Europe. They stole everything I had. All I wanted to do was visit Meteren to Honour Poppy's WW1 service. Cousin Clem sails a Beer Can raft from Darwin to Singapore to Announce Darwin is back on the map! 😅 and calls it "CanTiki" 😅 Andrew Johns was so funny that I was calling him the next Paul Hogan. I was in Darwin 3 years ago and had to drink water from bottles people threw out their car windows. I thought to myself, "It's pretty decent that they take the effort to replace the cap" I saw a dead Canetoad on the highway, raised my fist, and shouted, "Queenslander!" I must say all my life all Mum would say about death is "It would be a blessed bloody relief" She had plenty to 'complain' about, but just got on with the job.

as they say .. no good deed goes unpunished lol

Passed my linux+ exam with help from your videos. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

thanks shawn for this course you SAVED ME. WGU really dropped the ball with this course. it was really just an unorganized mess and your class was more clear and concise then the Dion course which really doesnt even touch the knowledge required for the test. again thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!!

After taking all CompTIA core certifications, I am now studying for Linux+. I really like Linux, it's so much fun! Great video!

I've been watching (and rewatching) the linux+ videos that you did - which are fabulous by the way. I have a question that's been bugging me and I was going to join tonights live stream to ask - but I was trying to fix a DNS related issue and so missed the stream. Enough waffling.. Who is the guy in the background photo / picture on the wall who appears to be holding a shoe / or has his legs crossed to see the shoe ?. Thanks ... David. (just about to book the comptia exam.).

Sorry I had to leave early, great show as always thanks Shawn

you might be able to use buck converter spliced in if the voltage of the device is lower than the brick or a boost converter spliced in if the device needs more volts note you may need more amps if using boost converter these buck or boost converters are usually configurable so you should use a volt meter to make sure the output is correct for people that have the nes (even though it says you shouldnt) (you can use a dc adapter as well with a range of voltages): kzfaq.info/get/bejne/sLqhlsVpzdKciX0.html

i wanna petition for you to teach us all to be linux admins pplleeaasee

if you could just go ahead and walk us through each linux test id appreciate it -- i too am here from WGU their course for linux LPI is terrible

Not sure if you mentioned it or you will later in one of the videos but are the terminal commands (eg. ls, mv, touch, etc.) universal for all the distributions of Linux (eg. Debian, Red Hat, Arch, and/or SUSE) or does it depend on the terminal emulator also? (eg. Gnome Terminal, Konsole, Guake, etc.)

hey, hope you’re doing well. I am struggling on an assignment and was wondering if I could reach out for some help if there was anyway you feel comfortable getting in contact please let me know. It would be greatly appreciated.

Mr Powers, I know this video has been around for a while now, but I've been going through some college courses on LInux the CLI. While I've generally advanced past these basic commands, YOUR WAY OF EXPLAINING AND GET COMFORTABLE WITH THE COMMAND ARE SO MUCH BETTER. Thank you. At the end of your video, you said to throw out some ideas for a different video. Could you at some point create a video on the | (pipe) command? Maybe you already have and i just haven't gotten there yet, but one of the biggest issues I've found is not knowing which commands go together well when using it.

Want to say good morning and thank u for your course. I’m paying for a network + and the instructor is all over the place and I’m getting discouraged thank u for this may you be continue to bless us with your knowledge in a beautiful way

try tldr instead of man, like "tldr ls"

Awesome video, thank you

hey, hope you’re doing well. I am struggling on an assignment and I need some help. If you don’t mind if possible, could we please get in contact for further communication it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

I am still very new to LInux. So, there's probably a million different things a person can do to make it easier for them to read, but how in the world did you change the font color? When everything is just black and white, all the different lines run together. I love this color scheme you're using.

planning on taking my exam this Thursday, rewatching some of your videos again... very helpful.. thank you so much man!

Fantastic video!

su to a user only needs the other user's password to gain access to the other user's account. Not the root password (unless you're switching to root obviously). It is mentioned otherwise at the 1:52 mark

Sadly it doesn't show if it works the same way if your primary ip adress is static and how nmcli would alter the config file in this case.

af means as fysically possible

I made the mistake of skipping over octal notation & it was on the exam

If you held your fingers together to make a pretend pistol and then started hoping around like youre a spy in front of a woman then youre a fuc kin assh ole

Hey Shawn, just wanted to take a minute to say thank you. I just passed my 010-160 Linux Foundations exam, and your videos were extremely important for me and helped a lot with my passing score. I really appreciate your passion for linux and for teaching. I can tell you are a great guy and you've helped out so many more people than you realize. Thanks so much for everything. Cheers 🍹

1. screen -rx attaches to a screen session without detaching it. 2. <Ctrl-a |> does a vertical split in screen 3. a tmux style status bar can be added by adding the following to your ~/.screenrc: # status bar, with current window highlighted hardstatus alwayslastline hardstatus string '%{= kw}%-w%{+b yk} %n*%t%?(%u)%? %{-}%+w %=%{g}' # make screen load a proper shell, which includes .screenrc shell -$SHELL

When you are in Vi or Vim and you save to that new file name, do you continue to work in the old file or at that point are you working in the new file?

thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you

Thank you very much for your videos, they are pretty few resources just for linux+, so these are really helpful. I just wanted to point out. The `-e` flag for sed is not for extended regular expressions but for "add the script to the commands to be executed" I don't what it means as inline sed is automatically processed without the flag but it isn't for extended regex (that's a -E flag)

That ramen pillow is awesome!

Hey Shawn, I noticed in this course we didn't go over SUID and GUID. Other than that, I think you nailed this course. Thanks so much for taking the time to put this together. You're the best!

Why is octal notation so much easier for me than the normal way? lol im weird

Hey Shawn, I've been studying for Linux Essentials for about six months or so (I had zero experience with Linux beforehand) and your videos have been a game changer for me! I feel like I learn more from one of your 15min videos than I do from an hour of reading the LPI study guide (nothing against the LPI, but the material's not easy to read through). Thank you so much for making these videos and lending your knowledge to people like me.

I love SElinux

great explainer video! horrible green hair.

Shawn, Hey, I'm here in the states so you already know I'm using Common-US, 117VAC/60Hz AC adapters they are rated as "Class2" no, not class ll -- but "Class2" and there's a big difference in their applications. With Class2 you are suppose to be as close to the power as possible. Three adapters all rated at 12VDC, 1.0A, 12W. They came with 7'ft of 22ga. pigtails. Can I cut the adapters open and change the pigtails to 16ga wire so I can run over the 7'ft mark??? with my adapters you run into voltage drops over 7'ft. But If I understand right and my math formulas are correct, 16ga pigtail will allow a max run of 48'ft. and continue sustaining the 12VDV 1.0A 12W. Yeah, I could run 117VAC extension cords but that's sloppy, However, (Legally --NFPA Sec. 590.3 (B), clearly states there is a 90-day limit on temporary power cords. Get rid of the cord or install a permeant fixture. I could install an outlet but that's added expense and time and working in tight crawlspaces. Any suggestions???

Hey Shawn, your explanation about exporting variables makes sense, but when I tried to follow your same steps in my bash terminal in Ubuntu, it didn't work for me. I exported $THING with "export $THING" and then opened a child bash terminal with "bash", and the result with "echo $THING" came up as blank, same as before when I hadn't exported it. Is the export command different in ubuntu? Thanks for these vids by the way!
