such things exist (such as the pico from http://pimodules.com/ ) but I've had nothing but grief from its firmware using v1 and v2. There appears to be a new version, and I suppose it might be better now. For most <1

Suppressing the header line and any fancy formatting jazz is a nice idea as well, since otherwise there's invariably some buggery needed to strip it like: ps | tail -n +2 | cmd_with_just_records or, if you're doing column

This has bitten me occasionally, even though I know the workarounds (tempfiles or pipe-consumers like sponge(1)). I'm wondering if there's any practical use for the behaviour, or if it's worth hacking a shell such that it pro

I'm curious what this process would be. My understanding was they'd typically have a small section of write-once fuses/PROM, and then some final process step to permanently program an ID into that area. That would mean the p

A lot of laptops present the keyboard and touchpad/whatever as internally connected USB devices. So, if you want to disable USB by epoxying the externally facing connectors, that might work, but it means you can't do things like c

Didn't Shift-Insert work for that? (I have vague memories, but it's been a long time since I've fought with it) Edit: assuming you have a keyboard with an insert key, and that it's not in a ridiculous location, of course

Other than using VMs and 'surprise' power-cycling them, what other ways are there to test these sorts of behaviours? Would an entry like `iptables -I forward -s ... -d ... -j DENY` on a host the 2 endpoints route over suffice to s
