Reaching Beyond Boundaries: A Navy SEAL’s Guide to Achieving Everything You’ve Ever Imagined
I just pick up python on my own time
I found it very intriguing.
Using Jupyter and VS code, I will continue to explore this programming language.

Learning Spanish with me
¿Hola: Hello!
in English, it sounds like ‘O-la’, with a silent ‘H’
¿Que tal?: How are you?
¿Que?: What?
“¿Que?” would be voiced as “keh” in English.
Cómo estás?: How are you?
Cómo estás is our literal translation of how are you: cómo is the Spanish question word meaning how, while estás means are you (or you are) .
Both ¿Que tal? and Cómo estás? have the same meaning as How are you?. Cómo estás is more formal than the former.
¿Hola! Cómo estás? : Hi! How are you?
¿Hola! ¿Que tal? : Hi! How areyou?
Gratitude
I am very grateful. Talking on the phone with a stranger and she helped me resolve an issue that I thought might be slim to none to get it resolved on time but she got it resolved today – I cannot express enough to her how I am very grateful for what she did today.
Is Hiring freeze already happening?
I used to get many inboxes in my professional LinkedIn account from fortune 500 companies’ recruitment department like Google, Meta (Facebook), especial Amazon. And just recently right after May or early June, I have zero inbox which I felt very strange and wonder if is hiring freeze really happening now? And Are we already getting into a recession?
Giving a hand
Today I got a D.M. from my co-worker via Slack about running Chromium in CLI Linux. Chromium comes with a debugger which is really helpful for developer debugging javascript, jquery or any front end javascript libraries. My co-worker could not get it to run in Linux. I could not figure out what was the cause as it might have to involve me having to install it myself in my environment but I recalled that I wrote a blog about install chrome in Linux a while back here in my blog:
https://chanvicheka-ouk.com/install-chrome-oracle-linux-server-release-7-6/.
Google chrome also comes with a debugger so I just send the note in above blog post to my co-worker and it works. My co-worker is happy and so is me.
e.g. running chrome in cli linux from terminal point to url http://damnvulnerableiosapp.com/ and with its debugger where I can add breakpoints with or w/o condition.
/usr/bin/startx /usr/bin/google-chrome --no-sandbox http://damnvulnerableiosapp.com/ -- vt1
Elite: High Performance Lessons and Habits from a Former Navy SEAL
I have just finished listening to this audio book from a navy seal author – Nick Hays.
One of the most inspiring and practical in the personal development category. I came across it on my scribd book recommend to me personally and would recommend it to anyone who is seeking to find their grit. I will re-listen and read the actual book.
(P.S.)We need to read more books as much as we can because I strongly believe sometimes we just need to pick the right book that could change our lives. I recalled when I was a freshman at my university, my older brother borrowed my old motorbike so he had to drop me off at my university and he went on continuing his day with my motorbike. That being said, he had to pick me up after school hour. I kept waiting and he didn’t show up for like hrs. I was still reading a book with title “Will power” and the author even had a disclaimer clause that warning the reader that once acquired this skill, it will be hard to take it off and instead could be seen as stubborn. And that was the moment I decided to bridge what was said in the book, I walked home for the first time from university which was around 6.2 km. And I realized that it wasn’t that difficult once we put our mind toward it.
no se encontro la orden
My co-worker executed a script I wrote for automating a few thing from our day-to-day work so our work life is easier. My co-worker DM’ed me via Slack that there was an error and it returned as “no se encontro la orden”. I never seen an error like that in Linux before. My first thought that it must be French as it sounds like French but turned out it is Spanish after I google translated it. It means “Command not found” and once I understand that then it is easier to pinpoint what went wrong with the script in my co-worker’s environment. And we got it resolved.
I am bilingual myself and also knew a little Japanese since I learned it for 3 years while pursuing my Undergraduate degree in Computer Science. Also I am just recently interested in learning Spanish as well.
Linux switch network to DHCP or Static
I just helped a co-worker regarding this particular task where she wants to switch her network interface from manual static IP to automatic IP by dhcp in a linux client using command line since it does not have x desktop so I quickly wrote following script
you can find your interface name quickly by executing nmcli dev status at the terminal
switchStaticToDHCP.sh
requires passing by one argument which is your network interface name.
!/bin/bash nmcli con mod $1 ipv4.method auto nmcli con mod $1 ipv4.gateway "" nmcli con mod $1 ipv4.address "" nmcli con down $1 nmcli con up $1 dhclient $1
switchStaticToDHCP.sh Your_Network_Interface_Name
eg: bash switchStaticToDHCP.sh enp0s3
switchDHCPToStatic.sh
requires passing by 3 arguments – your network interface name, static ip address, & default gateway ip address.
!/bin/bash nmcli con mod $1 ipv4.method manual nmcli con mod $1 ipv4.addresses $2/24 nmcli con mod $1 ipv4.gateway $3 nmcli con down $1 nmcli con up $1
swtichDHCPToStatic.sh Your_Network_Interface_Name IP_Address Default_Gateway
eg: bash switchDHCPToStatic.sh enp0s3 192.168.1.168 192.168.1.254
