Answer A: How to find big files and directories?

This will give you a list of the sub-directories sorted by gross usage. You may then proceed by applying the same command inside the sub-directory iden...

Comment Post #289619 This may sound like nitpicking, but do you by "new" mean a _different_ IP address than the current one, or is renewal of the existing lease also acceptable?

Answer A: What does the "Valid" column mean in the output of "faillock"?
A good explanation is given on the RedHat Customer Portal. TL/DR: The `Valid` field indicates whether a record counts toward the lockout threshold (`V`) or not (`I`). The key seems to be the meaning of the `failinterval` configuration setting. From the manpage of `faillock.conf`: > `deny=n` > >...

Answer A: Simplest way of stripping leading/trailing whitespace from file or program output
If I understand you correctly, you want to skip empty lines at the beginning of a file/stream strip leading and trailing whitespace of non-empty lines skip empty lines at the end of a file/stream.[]() This can be achieved using the following `awk` program: ```lang-bash awk 'NF==0{if (m) {b...

Comment Post #288849 In order to avoid getting answers that you already know won't work, please expand the question to add more details: Did you try with `sudo apt install` and got any errors? If not, how do you conclude that `mysql-server` cannot be installed that way? Is there any other method you tried?

Although my reputation would shrink substantially if that change were implemented ;) , I think it is the right choice to prevent votes on meta from affecting the reputation. The reason is that the very existence of this summary indicator can only be justified (cf. discussions on whether reputation...

Question Split "installation" into "OS-installation" and "software-installation"
I would like to recommend splitting the "installation" tag into one for "OS-installation" and "software-installation". Although both are installation processes, the challenges associated with them are very distinct, which I believe justifies the new tags. The impact can be kept minimal by simply r...

Comment Post #288562 @Quasimodo Funny, I had never noticed that GNU `sed` implements something like `\+`. Now that you notified me (thank you, btw), I looked up the documentation and - of course it's written there. I should include a notice on that in the answer. And nice to see you (and many others, as I found out), to...
