@simonsteczek Ah yes, I included that for completeness as I included the India link for the comms apps comparison.

The link to https://www.saferinternet.org.uk/ is at the top, but good point I will put it in the list at the bottom too, thanks for the feedback, good idea.

As today is safer internet day. I have a blog post, with links to various resources to help support keeping safe online.

@Thunderbirds511@democracy.town IIRC from watching NFL a few years ago, it does get pretty cold up there,

@info_activism Charities who use big tech for daily operations need perhaps justify why,l when there are free software alternatives. perhaps we should only give to charities who spend money on their core causes rather than software licenses.

@marathon Yeah, i doubt many cameras would survive that either Given the pressure / temperatures involved etc. Would look great on a big screen with surround sound though eh, or iMAX

@marathon That is awesome, and a really good advert for the robustness of the camera that took that.

@Thunderbirds511@democracy.town Where are you ?

Good point and you want me to separate the count for the first set of a's and the last one not give a total.

@hyperrealgopher
This is probably wrong I found a way to count characters in a string on stackoverrflow then adapted it for this

#https://gist.github.com/hyperrealgopher/19730725804ba8825d50d96f75b88a96

string="aaaabbbccd"
char="a"
echo "character count for a"
awk -F"${char}" '{print NF-1}' <<< "${string}"
char="b"
echo "charcter count for b"
awk -F"${char}" '{print NF-1}' <<< "${string}"
char="c"
echo "character count for c"
awk -F"${char}" '{print NF-1}' <<< "${string}"
char="d"
echo "character count for d"
awk -F"${char}" '{print NF-1}' <<< "${string}"
