File for performing operations on a resource.
This file consists of a class: **UnixResource**, which can connect to the remote
UNIX Machine, using SSH via Paramiko.
The instance of this class can be used to perform various operations on a machine, like,
#. Check if a Directory Exists or not
#. Create a new Directory
#. Rename a File / Folder
#. Remove an existing Directory
#. Get the Size of a File / Folder
#. Check if a Registry exists or not
#. Add / Update a Registry Key / Value
#. Get the Value of a Registry Key
#. Delete a Registry Key / Value
#. Compare the contents of 2 Files / Folders
UnixResource
============
__init__() -- initializes an instance of the Resource class
_login() -- creates a connection to the remote client
_get_client_ip() -- gets the ip address of the machine
execute() -- execute an operation on the client
execute_command() -- executes a command on the machine
get_storage_details() -- returns the storage details of this machine
reboot_client() -- reboots the machine
kill_process() -- terminates a running process on the client machine
either with the given process name or the process id
disconnect() -- disconnects the session with the machine
Attributes
----------
**os_info** -- returns the OS details of the client
**os_sep** -- returns the path separator based on the OS of the Machine
**ip_address** -- returns IP address of the machine
Usage
-----
- For creating an object of any resource, i.e., Windows / UNIX, the user should only
initialize an object of the Resource class, which internally takes care of detecting the OS
of the machine, and initializes the appropriate object.
- Resource class object can be initialized in 2 ways:
- If the resource is a Remote Machine:
>>> resource = Resource(hostname, username, password)
- If the resource is the Local Machine:
>>> resource = Resource(local_machine_hostname)
OR
>>> resource = Resource()

My dad always taught me to “make your money work for you.”
This refers to the idea of gaining a cashflow while you are not working, rather than work for an hourly wage or salary.
This is a common theme among digital nomads today. Most achieve this outcome by creating a high traffic blog or Saas application.
Outside of having your money work for you, you might be working free lance or on contract with a company.
commonly found is a combination of the two
Sounds complicated with a lot of floating pieces, right?
Your’e right.
Not only is it difficult to manage separate projects, it is difficult to account for how your income might be effected, or even slightly resemble on a monthly basis.
After all, our world is structured for a month to month balance of income and expenses.
When visiting Sweden, local friends of mine explained that the culture is straight line, vanilla 🍦. Risk is not highly tolerated and you follow in your lane.
If risk is not tolerated, how does Stockholm produces the highest number of so-called “unicorns” per capita, after San Francisco?
Well one idea, amongst great infrastructure, is in the antithesis of cultural risk taking: stability.
My friend explained to me -
“Stockholm has so many startups because the guy or gal in their garage knows that if they fail, they will have the support of the government to catch them.”
“She doesn’t have to rely on a job to provide her healthcare, or education, or basic living essentials.”
“So really, the risk of starting something is quite small.”
What if this idea could be captured and collectively practiced amongst like-minded individuals?
If a group of people could come together to support one another in achieving a small portion of base income, they would propel one another by distributing risk.
-
Risk of not having work.
-
Risk of losing an opportunity to further one’s education.
-
Risk of starting a business.
I’ve been toying with the idea. More to come 🔜

Please see our INFORMED CONSENT FORM document to understand how we conducted our evaluation.
Please see our BACKGROUND QUESTIONNAIRE document to understand what we expected from our participants.
The following is a list of our procedures in our empirical evaluation. As well as the procedures, we also list the tasks we had our participants perform.
      1.     Show competing application sketch/prototype and ask them to do a task
      2.     Have participant fill out questionnaire on the task
      3.     Then, show our application sketch/prototype and ask them to do the same task
      4.     Have participant fill out the same questionnaire on the task
      1.     While browsing the library of songs, pause the song as fast as you can (DRAWER TEST)
      2.     While in the Home Screen, changed the volume as fast as you can (HOME SCREEN, DRAWER TEST)
      3.     While in the Home Screen, change the EQ settings of the current song (AutoEQ TEST)
      4.     Add a song to a current playlist to the third position as fast as you can (PLAYLIST TEST)
Please see our INSTRUCTIONS/DATA COLLECTION FORM document to understand our procedures.
To collect our data, we will ask our participants to fill out a questionnaire after each part of our task. In each question of our questionnaire, we will try to gather the following information.
      1.     Frustration (1-5 Scale)
      2.     Actual Time Taken (Seconds)
      3.     Mistakes Made (Quantity)
      4.     Additional Comments (Written Responses)
Please see our POST-TEST QUESTIONNAIRE document to understand the questions we asked after each task.
The following is a list of what we are looking to analyze with the results we found in our Post-Test Questionnaires.

A raytraced
simulation was used to estimate the further improvements that could be made
using more transmitters. Increasing the number of APRs results in a reduced
pathloss because it reduces the average distance to a transmitter. When a
single transmitter is used in free space the signal power reduces in
proportion with the distance squared. If we took the logical extension of
increasing the number of APR, then we would end up with a plane of
transmission, with the power spread evenly over the inner surface of the
building’s ceiling. When close to this plane (as is the case when inside the
building) the power decreases in proportion to the distance, as a result the
pathloss will be half (in dB) to free space loss.
