I've been trying to get my 3d printed circular knitting machine going for almost 6 months now and I think I'm almost there. I finally realized that it's impossible to crank the heel/toe on this machine - but only because the extra drag of decreases causes it to bind up. It'd totally be possible if the gaps on the spindle were larger so it was less difficult to pull slips/decreases down into it.
Anywho, I gave up on doing everything on the CKM and just cranked a tube (worsted weight - 36 needles) with the intention to do an afterthought everything. I did the heel today. Not great, not terrible, it'll work. I'll try to throw on the toe tomorrow. I definitely should've made it wider so I had a more gradual decrease and a larger heel. But hey - try, fail, learn, do better : )

Hello fellow Linux Lemmings!
I've been tasked with putting together a 20 hour class for "Introduction to Linux" and I'd like to solicit your opinions for topics that should be covered.
The class is targeted for at least minimally technical people - maybe developers, or future developers, but regardless of background they've never seen or worked with Linux before.
I plan to do a VERY short overview of installing Linux (to a VM - so they have a "real" environment to learn with) and the GUI but the primary focus will be CLI. Imagine tools and tasks you come across while working on a "real" server (or VM).
A high level overview of the topics I currently have allocated is :
/dev, /proc, /etc, /home, /bin
, etc)nano
find
... maybe locate
)tar, gzip, bzip2
)chmod
, chown
)bash, zsh
, etc)man, info, --help
)history
ctrl+c, ctrl+d, ctrl+a, ctrl+e
, and coverage of ctrl+z
later)grep
top, ps, kill
)sigterm, sigkill
, etc - related to kill above)ctrl+z, fg, bg, jobs, nohup, &
)ln
)STDIN, STDERR, STDOUT
and redirection>, >>, <
)|
)su
, sudo
, how it works, when to use it)passwd
(maybe how to change your default shell too)make
if time allows)alias
esifconfig
) and tools (curl, wget, netcat
, etc)Everything from here down is "extra" if time allows (AKA - ensuring I don't run out of material :)
gpg
- symmetric and asymmetric)rsync
, maybe dd
)screen
/tmux
vim
sysreq
commandssrm
/shred
init
vs systemd
, how to start/stop/status services.sed
, awk
basicsWhat do you think?
Did I miss anything that you deem super important?
Anything that I should definitely keep in the "only if I run out of material" category?
O, and if you have any good ideas for practical exercises I'd love to hear those too. I want to keep them <15min but things like "create a new directory, cd into it, touch a file, list the contents of /
and write the output into the file you just created" are perfect.
Thanks!

The Arkansas Department of Education says the course code was removed so they could search the class curriculum for “indoctrination.”
