That's a pointless example.

    [ "$foo" = bar ] && echo Yes

For substring matches, [ and * globs are generally good enough.

    [ "$bar" = extra* ] && echo '$bar began with extra'

Bash's regex dialect is primitive and rarely worth fussing over. For anything complicated, use another tool be it grep, awk, perl, or such. There are diminishing returns of obsessing over doing everything in bash when a complicated task demands more capabilities suitable to another tool with greater reusability, modularity, and intrinsic types.

I don't see any source code, wiring diagrams, or service manuals. Clickbait?

Yep. It's usually the wrong tree species, wrong placement, or poor maintenance that leads to problems. I had 100'+ pine trees in my hard. Beetles were somewhat of a problem but the woodpeckers were all over them and systemics helped.

Grew up in an house with 60' Australian willows that became too fragile and messy and were too close to a structure. Also, never get lemon trees because thorns from hell.

There are different types of large trees with variations in structural strength of root systems that can be planted far enough away to not be a fire or mechanical hazard but close enough for shade. Minimizing surface roots by choosing the right species. Where I grew up, there was a storm with straight line winds 110 mph that took out every fence but only half of the trees and very few of the old trees.

Yep. Pine needles are the worst. Gutter guards are a timesaver.

Interesting. Barium Sulfate (Spectraflect) was likely the previous record holder at 98%.

It would be more useful for the various major distros to pitch in for easy, simple, congruent CLI, UI, declarative, and API configuration management for common advanced configuration.

Creating artificial lock-in that doesn't work is a double-barrel footgun blast.

The Ubuntu people are like the SystemD people: they just want to reinvent things from scratch and shove it down everyone's throats without any consideration.

Friends don't let friends Ubuntu and drive. Don't do crippled, insecure commercial-ware run by crazy people.

I run a bunch of WUH721414ALE6L4 and WUH721414ALE604 in numerous RAID10 volumes. Haven't had a failure yet.

L = without power disable, 0 = with

Never gonna happen. $$$$.

Unsafe at any speed.

They're also more dangerous to their occupants than mid-sized sedans.

There should also be an SUV tax.

I have FHC. I'll have to check my SNPs export to see if I have this specific mutation. Total cholesterol is always 230+ but thankfully I don't have arteriosclerosis or coronary disease per cardiac workup including catheterization.

SFPD is actually more useful and chill than most major city police departments.

APD in Austin doesn't actually do much. Property crimes are not responded to at all, but they pretend to occasionally about 48 hours later. If you want personal safety, your only option is to conceal carry and defend yourself because the police have a long call backlog, morale is terrible, and are critically underfunded and understaffed by over 150 officers.

The 24 hour Jack in The Box in the Tenderloin (SF) had 2 armed guards. Around the corner, crack dealers openly sold rocks.

I would wager fewer people are murdered by police too.

The US spends the most money while getting the worst results in many areas. It's a corrupt, unequal, third-world country with homeless favelas in most major cities and no universal healthcare.

This is why it's stupid to live or visit California. Criminals can rob you at gunpoint, but law-abiding citizens aren't allowed to defend themselves. I'd rather be in Austin and conceal carry.

I don't understand the point of posting this. This company is a state-owned enterprise of the PRC. Sure they're going to Kafkaesquely track Uyghurs and everyone else for social credit "reasons."

I don't know if anyone remembers the involuntarily organ donations investigated due to absurdly short waiting lists not found in any other country.

Don't. Just don't.

While Alma and Rocky promise the moon of 10 years of support and unreproachable governance, they are slow and inconsistent about releasing security fixes while CentOS 9 Stream releases them fast. Neither has the professionalism, track record, or deep benches of engineering teams to sustain themselves in the long term. I suspect neither Alma nor Rocky will survive 10 years.

The T480 was last non-Apple cargo cult, repairable design.

The T490 and onward aren't good.

The problem though of old hardware is lack of CPU features needed by some operating systems and the presence of hardware vulnerabilities, and the obsolete ports they contain like FireWire, slow USB, and PCMCIA.

Where is that?

Change schools or move somewhere with better schools.

Unless you have a stay-at-home spouse and don't care about their socialization, homeschooling is an impractical fad that sabotages children's academic achievement and throws division of labor and specialization of trade to the wind under the mistaken presumption of ability brought on by Dunning-Kruger effect and a willful lack of comparison to the experiences of good schools.

Ausin PD also runs drones around the East side for unknown reasons, but only in the early morning between 1 and 4am.

My grandfather was a WWII, Korea, and Vietnam vet with the GI Bill. In 1968, there was no housing discount, only low interest loans. Their house cost $10k then and sold for $2.1m in 2018. I have the original copies of the deeds and of their loan.

Be thankful: most homes in Texas have all of the architectural design sense of Microsoft c. 1985.

The core issue is the permitting processes are missing design and aesthetics reviews and approvals. Instead, they're intent on keeping people like Bill Maher from using solar power.

Honestly, I don't see the appeal. Most Eichlers have a more serene feel to them.

Interestingly, there are many more Eichlers (and lookalikes) than listed on the Wikipedia page. For example, there's a development in Woodland, CA (NorCal).

Just stop using Ubuntu. It's bullshit with shit governance run by crazy people.

For servers, CentOS is reliable as fuck.

This is why I tell everyone to avoid the psychos at Canonical and use either CentOS 9 Stream, Fedora, or Debian.
