Point 4 is the overriding problem. I have never been able to find a color scheme that works acceptable for text on light background and for text on dark background. It is virtually impossible to find a good pleasing and legible color sche

Or just use ls -l --block-size=\'1 (make sure your locale is set properly). This way not only your interactive output is fixed, but also any place where it's redirected to text.

Thank you! I couldn't live without the alias I use for ls, which specifies BLOCKSIZE with the tick. Now I am going to add TIME_STYLE, which I didn't know about but I love already. The rendering of time in any format other than ISO

Thank you. That gives me a strong reason to update. To answer your question, (1) it's pretty arduous to install Chrome from the AUR, and (2) I am wary of Google removing useful functionality from Chrome.

So the day of its release, all the pieces are already obsolete. linux 4.9.35, should be 4.12 systemd 230, should be 233.75 Qt5.6.2, should be 5.10.3 firefox 52.2.0, should be 54.0.1 I guess I'm spoiled by Arch.

HammerFS in Dragon Fly BSD automatically maintains versions, though it is still not mature, and it is starting to look like it will never reach maturity.

If you have control of the copyright, yes, you could change the license from straight GPL to any kind of customized license you want. I guess you could restrict access to any group you want. But if it's open source, it would be pre

OK. I thought this would be so obvious that people would see it. Sultan says "Sultan was created to help with scripts that we create with Bash, that tend to get complex." If one has an open mind, one should be asking "why wou

Right; it's not at all "like grep". A little like strings, but yeah, more like objdump if it has to be seen "like" anything else at all.
