Easy shortcut key in Nemo

I tried for a long time to do this, and Gemini came up with a way-easy way. 

 Here's a VBA script for PowerPoint that counts the total number of slides in a presentation and places that count into a shape named "SlideTotal". Great for <#> out of so one can know how many slides are left. Why this isn't built into PowerPoint is beyond me. 

Sub UpdateSlideTotal()

    Dim totalBox As Shape
    Dim total As String

    total = CStr(ActivePresentation.Slides.Count)

    On Error Resume Next
    Set totalBox = ActivePresentation.SlideMaster.Shapes("SlideTotal")
    On Error GoTo 0

    If totalBox Is Nothing Then
        MsgBox "Could not find a shape named SlideTotal."
        Exit Sub
    End If

    totalBox.TextFrame.TextRange.Text = total

End Sub
 

Brother PT-P300BT printing Apple Command, Option, etc. symbols

 I don't know who needs to hear this, but the way I was able to do this was edit a Note on my Mac, putting the symbols there, and reading the Note on my iPhone. I was then able to copy and paste from the Note to the Brother app. That seems more complicated than necessary to me.

Odd env behavior

This finds homebrew's bash.

$ env -vvv -P $PATH bash
#env verbosity now at 2
#env verbosity now at 3
#env Searching:    '/Users/beatys/.rbenv/shims:/Users/beatys/bin:/opt/homebrew/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/Applications/Docker.app/Contents/Resources/bin'
#env  for file:    'bash'
#env   matched:    '/opt/homebrew/bin/bash'
#env executing:    /opt/homebrew/bin/bash
#env    arg[0]=    '/opt/homebrew/bin/bash'

 This does not.

$ env -vvv bash
#env verbosity now at 2
#env verbosity now at 3
#env executing:    bash
#env    arg[0]=    'bash' 

Huh. Looking at the code shows a line

ptr = __DECONST(char *, str); /* XXXX Yes, very dodgy */

I'm not sure that's related, but it is a big type hammer.

#ifndef    __DECONST
#define    __DECONST(type, var)    ((type)(__uintptr_t)(const void *)(var))
#endif

 For when I blow off bash from brew on OSX:

Wazuh on Windows using docker

You can ignore the memory instructions athttps://documentation.wazuh.com/current/docker/wazuh-container.html and just bring up a git bash shell from https://git-scm.com/download/win

git clone https://github.com/wazuh/wazuh-docker.git - b v4.1.5 --depth=1
cd wazuh-docker
docker-compose up

You'll need to install an agent on the host and point it to localhost. Here's the command that the "Add agent" gives you for a privileged PowerShell: 

Invoke-WebRequest -Uri https://packages.wazuh.com/4.x/windows/wazuh-agent-4.1.5-1.msi -OutFile wazuh-agent.msi; ./wazuh-agent.msi /q WAZUH_MANAGER='localhost' WAZUH_REGISTRATION_SERVER='localhost' WAZUH_AGENT_GROUP='default'

If the agent doesn't seem to register, do:

C:\Program Files (x86)\ossec-agent\agent-auth.exe' -m localhost

Check the log for errors etc via:

more 'C:\Program Files (x86)\ossec-agent\ossec.log'

If you need to remove an existing agent to try again, do:

msiexec.exe /x wazuh-agent.msi /qn 

Wazuh on MacOS using docker.

 https://documentation.wazuh.com/current/docker/wazuh-container.html

Works, but one has to use 127.0.0.1 for the host MacOS agent as docker for Mac only can listen to 127.0.0.1.
