No kidding. Few weeks ago 'apt upgrade' killed my X server and locked up the whole machine. I'm like 99.99999% sure it was the nvidia drivers.

Many years ago I was a hit by a bug in the Gnome file chooser (on ubuntu) that selected a random sibling file in the same directory. Caused me to accidentally upload something I definetely didn't want to publish. In fact I have never s

FYI: use tab completion in the 'units' REPL to show a list of available definitions. You won't find them in the 'units' manpage, as they are defined in an external datafile (on my machine this file is /usr&#x2F

Are you sure about those units? Typical SATA SSD can reach ~500 MegaBytes/s, not Megabits/s

Your reply is too long. I will get back to you in 6 months. Maybe.

You can also reinforce plastic joints/parts with metal wire by heating and pushing it into the plastic. (As a side note, I don't think there is any other DIY material that is as cheap and versatile as metal wire. All you need is s

In that case you should rename the project GObjectJS to avoid further confusion :-)

FYI Last I tried memtest86+ (in June?), it had been outdated for quite some time and downright crashed on newer hardware. The non-free alternative called Memtest86 (by Passmark) works just as well if needed.

Yeah. It's one thing that does not need improving. My parents bought a new microwave with all kinds of fancy digital features that nobody uses 99% of the time. In addition to being really difficult to use, it also makes a very loud BEE

Another annoying "feature" is that opening a new shell with ssh -X will not enable the forwarding if the original master connection was not enabled with it.

I just built it on ubuntu 18.04. It looks pretty much identical to the native 3.9 version, except for icons. FYI anyone reading this, take a backup of your $HOME/.config/audacious before trying the new version. It did something fu

More than once have I written something like this if(condition) printf("WTF??! value: %d", value); ...only to have the compiler nag me about it. That's pretty much the only situation I've come across trigraphs

Was it due to the upgrade removing files the current version expected to be there? Similar to how pacman (by default) removes all modules for the current running kernel, during an upgrade? ..which then breaks pretty much everything that rel

Even if you removed that number from you account immediately after logging in, something tells me google will not forget that association. He might not had an account then, but could create one in the future. So now if either of you messes

Also the last void* argument of the signal handler points to a ucontext_t object (man getcontext), so you can do something crazy like jumping over a NULL-dereference by modifying the instruction pointer and then "returning" with s

I quite often think similarly about 2038-01-19. That's 21 years from now. I've set a reminder for that "event" on Google calendar. I'm sure nothing major will happen, but at least I could host a "end of the wor
