You already know that it's PAM-related, since it's a PAM config file. What extra info does the `pam_` give you? .so does give you some info (namely, that it's an external shared object), but I'm not entirely certain ho

My current situation is that everything works fine and I haven't rebooted in a few months. (I should get around to that soon, there's a new kernel waiting. Or probably a couple.)

I believe PNG supports uncompressed files, usually with a compression level = 0.

Apple is a (system) software company. While that includes procuring and integrating individual hardware components, they're not a hardware company. They've recently been branching out into designing their own hardware (or claiming

It's the other way around. Our eyes evolved to be sensitive to (some of) the wavelengths to which air and water are transparent. There's nothing innately special about visible light. Just about every substance is transparent to so

If you don't already know just how low 82 Hz is - then the lowest frequency band you're probably familiar with is AM radio. Which uses around 1,000,000 Hz. And as others have mentioned, yes, megawatts is a lot . That's the s

It's not readable and understandable, though. I have more experience with PAM than most Linux admins, I think, and yet I still have to refer to man pages or Google every time I need to do something with it. The keywords and options are

That's my biggest problem with it. They raise all this money, and yes, a bunch of it goes to infrastructure. But the thing is, they always seem to find ways to spend whatever money they have, and none of it ever seems to make its way t

Right, but this article is specifically talking about the SIM sending commands to the radio, not Android sending commands to the radio. Just because something could be done or is done does not make that fact relevant.

There is also no guarantee that Python is installed at all, and there is no guarantee that it is on the path even if it is installed.

Oh god. No, not having a `/usr/bin/python` will not result in a working system. Does Debian really think they're the only software distributor that their users use?

No, that's not another point. It's a point that was made hours before you in a sibling comment AND it's a point that is completely irrelevant. Read the second sentence of TFA.

That's what /usr/bin/python is, though? A link to any version of Python so long as any version is installed.

This sounds like "freezing" a script, which there are many solutions to do, f.e. https://pypi.org/project/cx-Freeze/ You might be running with your interpreter, but are you running with your standard lib

Yes, I maintain several packages which are* compatible with either Python 2 or 3. Those packages have a defined entrypoint which begins with `#!/usr/bin/python`. For packages which are Windows-compatible, they end in .py. If

Of course flying on a commercial plane would be cheaper. They aren't flying on private jets because it's cheaper, they do it because their shareholders are the ones paying for it and they don't want to sit next to a plebe.

This is about where you bought the SIM from, not where you bought the phone from.

That's not how selection works. If something doesn't decrease survivability, then there is no reason why evolution would get rid of it.

Yeah, they don't really want you to do it. That kinda makes sense when you think about it; TOTP has a lot of friction compared to "just press the button on the device 99% of you already have linked to your account".

It seems you didn't read the article. "The company plans to automatically enable two-step verification for accounts that have been configured correctly."
