This is a note for Future John about how to report a recent coredump (with debugging symbols) on Debian:
DEBUGINFOD_URLS="https://debuginfod.debian.net" coredumpctl gdb
Then bt is a magical gdb command to run to give you the call stack of the thread which… failed?

In this video I take a look at Electrical Engineering 101: Everything You Should Have Learned in School…but Probably Didn’t 3rd Edition written by Darren Ashby and published in 2011.
In the book the author mentioned that they used to write for chipcenter.com which appears to have since been taken over by EE Times. ChatGPT provided more information.
The author also mentioned Mathcad. I’m planning to check that out over here: https://www.mathcad.com/
And some terms which came up (ChatGPT explains further):

I was having a problem in WordPress for my blog where the title contained duplicate values, like “John’s blogJohn’s blog”.
The fix for me was to edit wp-content/themes/twentyeleven/header.php and disable a bit of the output, as shown below. I basically just added an if ( false ) to disable the code which caused the duplicate content.
This seems to effectively mean that Yoast SEO is in charge of the titles now. You can configure separately the homepage, posts, and pages titles in the Yoast SEO settings. I configure mine in Yoast SEO Settings / Content Types like this:
<title>
<?php
// Print the <title> tag based on what is being viewed.
global $page, $paged;
wp_title( '|', true, 'right' );
// 2024-07-14 jj5 - OLD: I removed this because wp_title() (above) does everything that needs to be done.
if ( false ) {
// Add the site name.
bloginfo( 'name' );
// Add the site description for the home/front page.
$site_description = get_bloginfo( 'description', 'display' );
if ( $site_description && ( is_home() || is_front_page() ) ) {
echo " | $site_description";
}
// Add a page number if necessary:
if ( ( $paged >= 2 || $page >= 2 ) && ! is_404() ) {
/* translators: %s: Page number. */
echo esc_html( ' | ' . sprintf( __( 'Page %s', 'twentyeleven' ), max( $paged, $page ) ) );
}
}
?>
</title>
I have been rolling out CloudFront for a few of my domains, including blog.jj5.net.
In order to integrate CloudFront with WordPress I used the W3 Total Cache plugin.
And in order to set the <link rel=”canonical”> element I used the Yoast SEO plugin.
At one point I had a problem with garbled content in my browser. Looked like the browser was trying to display compressed content as text. But now I can’t reproduce, so hopefully whatever the issue was it is now fixed…
I added RSS capabilities for InTheLabWithJayJay.com. You can subscribe to the whole thing, or just one channel, or just one show, or just one feature… it was difficulty to create the UI to support that without overcomplicating things. I made the link on the RSS icon support different feed depending on which page you are on.
I just spent two whole days refactoring and improving my jjlab.net website.
One thing I had to think very carefully about for my modeling was the class/instance distinction for various things, you can see my notes below.
So channels have shows, and shows have features.
A series has segments, and segments have a video.
A series is an instance of a show, and a segment is an instance of a feature.
Everything is easy when you know how!
More than you ever wanted to know about the ELF format: ELF and ABI Standards.
UPDATE: this problem was solved by installing some packages. The relevant hint is highlighted in red below.
This is the salt state I used to install dependencies on my Debian 12 system:
rockbox-dev-tools:
pkg.latest:
- pkgs:
- texinfo
- texi2html
- automake
- autotools-dev
- libtool
- libtool-bin
- autoconf
- flex
- bison
- libisl-dev
- libgmp-dev

I am following these instructions: https://git.rockbox.org/cgit/rockbox.git/tree/docs/README and am having this problem:

UPDATE: the solution to this problem was to install the package ‘libtool-bin’.
I am following these instructions: https://git.rockbox.org/cgit/rockbox.git/tree/docs/README and am having this problem:

I did install the ‘libtool’ package on my Debian system, but there is no ‘libtool’ command, only ‘libtoolize’.
