I bet fedi has opinions on this: I want to replace Adobe Acrobat Reader for PDF viewing. What's the best alternative for Windows? Must be free, FOSS nice, AI-free a must.

Dear Fedi, I have another question.

I've noticed some time ago that most of my Linux devices have two IP addresses in my local network, on a single wlan interface (192.168.1.127 and 192.168.1.128 in this screenshot)

Both of them work - I can ping those addresses from another device in a local network.

Why is that so? Why two addresses for one network interface? And how?

Ok, this is an extremely niche question, but I'm trying to work with a list of files in a Windows batch script, and one of the files contains two single quotes in the name, so the batch script is interpreting that as a command. Does anyone know of any way I can escape those single quotes programmatically? I can't simply add slashes to them because I don't have access to the filename. Should I pipe them to a text file and then munge the text file? I'm happy to give more information if necessary; this isn't a secret or anything.

P.S. If your suggestion is not to use a batch script to do this, believe me, I've considered it, but at the moment batch is what I've got. I'm not going to install an entirely new shell to do this fairly simple task and I don't like PowerShell enough to go to the trouble of scripting in that. If I were to write a non-shell program, I would probably write it in Python as that seems like the most reasonable option, but I remain convinced that there's a way to do this in a batch script.

On the chance someone has a link. Back when What Does The Fox Say was relatively new I saw a video that I think had a comment like, a naturalist's response, that paired clips from the song with the possible fox sounds to clips of actual foxes making similar sounds (yes, including Morse Code-ish sounds). Does anyone know of this and even better have a link?

Any experienced C developers among my followers? .

Expat, arguably the world's most popular parser, is understaffed and without funding. As has shown, situations like this are dangerous.

Last month, maintainer Sebastian Pipping put up a plea for help at https://github.com/libexpat/libexpat/blob/R_2_6_2/expat/Changes

(I would help myself, but my C skills barely surpass "Hello, World".)

Hey, you don't have to "pass" to be valid. You are who you are, and that's beautiful. I love you and I'm glad you're here. 💞

And I'll fight anyone's face who says otherwise.

Edit: I'm glad this post is making the rounds. I hope it reaches somebody who needed to hear this.

I am at a loss… :

At work I have a Win10 server with 10Gbps NICs and I try to subscribe to a 100Mbps UDP multicast group. That works, but I am losing more packets than tolerable. Linux servers on the same network and similar task do just fine, so I can rule that out as a culprit. How can I methodologically debug this (no windows jokes please)?
