It's not a typo. The conventional name of a native code library (C, C++, etc) in Debian is derived from the SONAME of the library it installs. So you can be pretty sure that libfoo.so.3 is shipped in a binary package libfoo3. So what a

Please note that I never selected this random Firefox window. I wasn't even aware that it was open. The problem is that when I tabbed back to Firefox, all Firefox windows on all monitors were raised. And if you expect me to Alt-Tab

So far, no. But a single nuclear power plant has the potential for continent-wide devastation. Is the same true of the world's largest coal power plants (~6.7 GW)?

I find the app-based window navigation in vanilla GNOME 3 rather frustrating, and try as I might, I just can't get comfortable navigating between what I think of as applications. This is because I have a few applications (Firefox, Te

In a normal sized terminal the most useful part is pushed away by the list of built-in commands. IMO it should be printed last, so that it's guaranteed to be displayer to a user who doesn't know how to scroll up: GNU bash, v

(For the benefit of anyone who is wondering) A Type=oneshot systemd service that is WantedBy=sysinit.target (for early-ish boot) or multi-user.target (for late-ish boot) is the rough equivalent of an entry in /etc/rc.local. The bo

Good point, address bar on the bottom may not even be the default. I think it makes great sense though. Looking forward to the current Firefox Beat replacing the main Firefox app so I can free up a lot of space on my phone... :)

I'm astounded that docker still doesn't have the concept of 'build volumes' that can be used for streaming artifacts and caches into build steps. That said, 'docker build' is not the only game in town. For a lo

Indeed, it hasn't happened to me but I remember reading about someone who discovered the hard way that their firmware fell back to storing boot variables in a file on the ESP for some reason. It's the sort of thing you only notice
