Nano is a text editor for Linux, a default in Ubuntu. It is a simple editor, unlike VI. It might not be as powerful, but for simple things like editing configuration files, it does the job well.
01. Nano stands for …
Nano is an acronym for “Nano’s ANOther editor”. Which is inspired by Pico.
02. How to install nano
Ubuntu and Debian
sudo apt install nano
CentOS and Fedora
sudo yum install nano
03. Basics
Opening nano
Can execute it without any parameters. This opens an editor in a buffer. You can interact with, but you would need to write to a file in order persist it in the disk.
nano
Write to a file
After adding content you can save your work by using the shortcut `Ctrl + O` or `Command + O`.
Indicate the name of the file. Remember that when you opened the editor? It will be written in the same directory where `nano` was executed. Press enter after setting the file name.
Exit the editor
To exit from the editor, use the shortcut `Ctrl + X` or `Command + X`
View the file created using the `ls` command. Or read it using `cat`.
Opening a file
If a file is not yet existing, it will create a new one.
nano another greetings.txt
04. Shortcuts
Help
Opens the complete list of shortcuts using `Ctrl + G` or `Command + G`
Search or `Ctrl + G` or `Command + G`
Useful when searching for configuration files.
Type the text to search and press Enter. Pressing enter multiple times, will skim through the file and find the next occurrence.
05. Opening a file with different options.
Show line numbers
nano /path/to/file -l
`l` or `–linenumbers`. Sometimes you already have a copy of a file in your local machine. For example a settings.json and you need to update this configuration quickly on your development environment. If you know the line number, it’s easier to find it.
Having backups
nano /path/to/file -B
`-B` or `–backup` will save the previous version of the edited file with ‘~’ at the end. This is not like a versioning system, but it’s a good safeguard when dealing with configuration files.
Nano is an efficient editor and it does it job well. In most cases when you’re just visiting a server and making some tweaks, it will be sufficient.
In the vast halls of our collective conscience, a truth reverberates, unspoken yet glaringly present. He stands there, a paradox in flesh and bone, professing values whilst skillfully subverting them with each policy enacted, each luxury indulged. This is a tale not of ignorance but a strategic, wilful manipulation of a nation’s trust and democracy’s foundations.
The Unspoken Reality.
A dark comedy plays out on the political stage, where the whims of one man eclipse the needs of the many. His journey to power, untouched by the voting intentions of the public, is no secret. The narrative is spun, re-spun, and embellished, but underneath, the truth lingers, potent and omnipresent: His ascent is unearned, his leadership, unchosen.
Juxtaposition of Morals.
Amidst the rubble of cancelled infrastructure projects and the despair of those whose lives are derailed by ruthless immigration policies, he sails smoothly in a sea of privilege and unrestricted power. His moral compass, publicly paraded, never wavers in its hypocrisy, meticulously crafting policies that eschew empathy and uphold a hidden agenda.
Cowardice Cloaked as Leadership.
The disconnection between proclaimed values and actions is neither accidental nor oblivious. It’s a tightly woven web of deceit, worn with a sinister grace by a man who is anything but out of touch. His actions, merciless and calculated, amplify a narrative that feigns ignorance while executing a meticulously plotted demise of democratic values.
A Sordid Dance of Deception.
It’s a dance observed by all yet challenged by none – a macabre performance where ethics are slaughtered at the altar of political gain. The puppeteer, aware and utterly present, pulls the strings with a cruel precision, crafting a landscape where dissent is squashed, and silence becomes the anthem of the oppressed.
The Resilient Whisper of Truth.
Amidst the orchestrated chaos, the truth persistently whispers, echoing through the corridors of online forums, overheard in hushed conversations, and witnessed in weary, knowing glances. It’s a resilient, unabating murmur, a reminder that while the puppeteer plays, the audience, though silent, is not entirely beguiled.
Awakening from the Charade.
The unspoken is powerful, yet its potency is nullified in silence. In acknowledging the deliberate, corrosive actions of a leader unabashedly aware of the destruction sown, the first seeds of resistance are planted. It’s a call to action, not to further the narrative of a witless leader, but to expose the calculated machinations of a man fully cognisant of the suffering scribed by his hand. As the whisper of truth crescendos into a collective roar, it’s here the real challenge begins: dismantling the charade and reweaving the tattered remnants of our democratic story.
In a few weeks from now Halloween will take place. Those who are busy from work or other important tasks would want to get their own costume fast. Here we have some options that are inspired from Hollywood movies.

What comes into your mind when you hear or see “Data Visualisation”. It’s probably chart or graphics. That is correct, but that is not all it is.
“Data visualization is the representation of data through use of common graphics, such as charts, plots, infographics, and even animations. These visual displays of information communicate complex data relationships and data-driven insights in a way that is easy to understand.”
IBM
From it’s definition you can already see it’s objective. To make data easier to understand. That is in it’s essence, the purpose of why we make data visualisation. Here have some key points to consider when making a data visualistion
What is the nature of your data?
The nature of the data is important. It usually is a collection of records taken within a period of time. It could be a daily transaction or sales of a grocery, the number of times you have eaten in a specific restaurant, or one of the most common sources and use of data is stocks. By default even without creating a graphics your data will already show something. Now it is up to you to make use of it.
What you want the audience to understand?
Now that you have a source of data, you need to identify what your audience need to realise after seeing your visualisation. One thing to make it easier is that your design should make it easier and faster to understand your point when comparing it when they are just given the data plainly. If they did not understood the purpose of the graphical representation then it can be considered a failure and should reconsider a redesign.
Showing it to someone and asking for opinion is a good start. It might be hard at first to do this yourself, as there may be some bias. But in the future, you should be able to switch to a different perspective or even a persona when looking at your own design. Somewhere along the line “If I were this type of person who does not know anything about this line of work and see this, what would I realise or understand from it?”
What you really want to say?
If you have created a visualisation that makes people understood the visusalisation, you can safely say that you have created something to look at too. Your audience might be everyone specially when publish publicly. But it could also be a team in your company.
With this in mind, have you conveyed what your objective is for this graphics. It’s also possible that it can be misunderstood to look at. An example is that you have created a chart that shows the sales of your product. Instead of showing that the sales have been decreasing due to lack of marketing, it was blamed on the engineering or production team.
Remember that data can be misinterpreted. It can even be manipulated. What you convey depends on how you represent the data.

Smart Homes More Connected Than Ever
Samsung’s vision of the connected home is deeply rooted in SmartThings and open innovation. Since applying the Matter standard last year, the total number of SmartThings users who have connected compatible products and services has increased to over 290 million. Now, the SmartThings Home API1 makes it easier than ever for developers to create SmartThings-based apps, and the SmartThings Context API provides new ways to leverage AI and sensing technology for better user experiences.
Samsung is embedding SmartThings Hub functionality into existing and new products, including Samsung Sound Bars and Smart TVs, so users can quickly and easily start their smart homes from their connected devices. This Multi-Hub Network also means when it’s time to replace or add a device, there is a powerful and stable network of others ready to keep the smart home continue. These experiences are enhanced further with Samsung’s work with Aqara, who joined Samsung onstage to share how its Internet of Things (IoT) sensors work with SmartThings to create more intuitive and accessible smart homes.
Samsung also announced the second-generation SmartTag2 at SDC23. With battery life lasting up to 700 days,2 an IP67 rating for water and dust resistance and a streamlined and smaller design, the SmartTag2 can follow lost items through rain, snow, and even underground with Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) connectivity.
Bixby is increasingly integrating with SmartThings. This year, Samsung announced more intuitive command control for multi-device environment. Now, even if multiple devices are connected in the same space, Bixby intuitively understands which device is best suited to each command, with a deeper understanding of every scenario. In the future, Bixby will evolve to provide personalized experiences with simple commands by understanding users’ languages widely and optimizing their intentions.
As a growing number of connected devices come together to build these new experiences, security and privacy is more important than ever. Last year, Samsung introduced Knox Matrix, Samsung’s blockchain-based security vision for a future wherein devices connected in an ecosystem can protect each other — as well as their users. This year, Samsung is updating Knox Matrix’s key features including Credential Sync and Trust Chain. Samsung is also bringing Knox Vault to more devices including Samsung Neo QLED 8K TVs in 2023 and select Galaxy A series smartphones that launch with One UI 6 or later in 2024.

Our collective journey toward a cohesive, future-forward nation has been critically undermined with the abrupt halt of the HS2 project. While global counterparts forge toward prosperity through bold infrastructural advancements, our nation is being quietly pilfered by a web of corrupt dealings and short-term political gains, sowing seeds that will sprout into a legacy of lost opportunity.
The UK’s self-proclaimed status as a technology leader rings hollow. Though boasting of achievements like the Industrial Revolution, Bletchley Park’s computing innovations, and university research, its record is more hype than substance. HS2 is but the latest in a long line of British “advancements” that promise much yet deliver little.
A Cloaked Conspiracy.
Beneath the veneer of financial prudence and policy astuteness lies a noxious network of vested interests and clandestine alliances. The decision-maker, comfortably ensconced amidst financiers and influential peers, has woven a narrative that conceals the rot of corruption, manipulating the HS2 project’s trajectory to fuel personal and political gains.
The Unseen Costs of Corruption.
While narratives of savings and fiscal responsibility parade through public discourse, the actual cost—an eroded national unity and a future mortgaged for momentary political capital—remains veiled. The decision-makers’ direct complicity in this financial and moral bankruptcy subtly infects our national character, perpetuating a vicious cycle of deceit and mismanagement.
The world is moving on… what is happening to the UK. Is this what “long-term decisions for a brighter future” mean?
A Generational Betrayal.
Sadly, the stark reality dawns: it is already too late. The cancellation of the HS2 project is not a mere policy misstep — it is a generational betrayal, creating irreparable chasms in our collective progress. Such decisions, steered by a compromised moral compass, spawn a domino effect of missed opportunities, stunted growth, and an enduring bitterness embedded in our societal psyche.
Destructive Echoes Through Time.
The ripple effects of this corrupt dismantling will echo through generations, solidifying a paradigm where the rot of self-interest and deceit dictates policy and direction. The ephemeral gains enjoyed by a corrupt few will reverberate as decades of what-could-have-been for the many, birthing a future steeped in the anguish of missed opportunities and stifled potential.
The Morality of Recollection.
We are, henceforth, bound to a future, wherein the shadows of this corrupt divergence will persistently linger. The HS2 project, now reduced to a relic of a betrayed dream, must serve as a resounding reminder, a moral compass, redirecting our path towards a governance that serves the many over the few, transcending the transient tides of corrupt self-aggrandisement.
