Comment Post #293505 Greg, posting [Somewhere Else](https://stackoverflow.com/a/66971934/241211) noted that he couldn't get proxies working without the `--temp-profile` flag. Neither he nor I have any clue why that might be. Here's [the main proxy documentation](https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/main/ne...

Answer A: how to use chromium's --proxy-server option
It's been a while since I did proxy server stuff with Chrome and friends. (I'm mostly a Firefox user.) But when I was into it, I used an extension called SwitchyOmega. That extension itself has apparently been retired since Google went to Manifest V3, but someone has forked it into [ZeroOmega][]. ...

Answer A: Open Konsole as new tab
It doesn't work unless you open Konsole settings and check the option for "Run all Konsole windows in a single process." From bugs.kde.org: > My bad, it happens when you turn off running all konsole's in the same process. I recently committed a change that defaulted to running them in separate pro...

Question Open Konsole as new tab
I want to issue a command[^1] to open a certain folder in a new tab of the currently running Konsole instance (if any). There's a `--new-tab` option, but `konsole --new-tab` opens a new instance, even from a running Konsole instance. > #### --new-tab > Create a new tab in an existing window ra...

Answer A: How can I simply persist functions written in the current terminal session for later use?
Are you familiar with the Bash history shortcuts? The most basic is `!!` to refer to the last command you entered. This lets you do things like `sudo !!` to run the last command with privileges. You could use that or the "search" one (last command containing substring: `!?`) to echo it to your ali...

Comment Post #292706 If you could be more specific than "Have fail2ban look at your log," I think that would be helpful. If it takes a custom script, I don't think you need to write the script, but showing how fail2ban can use an arbitrary script is better than what you have now.

Comment Post #291818 This is super-unlikely to be what you're looking for, but it may help you in the future: PDFs have a mechanism to stamp in form field data from XML. IIRC, you create the data file separately with a reference to the PDF form it loads into. This is useful if you have some process to generate partial...

Answer A: Confused about what "Linux" means
Richard Stallman wants you to use GNU/Linux to refer to the combination of OS and kernel that people typically call Linux. I am not a Stallman partisan one way or the other, but I think noting his complaint is informative in this context. I have emphasized the sentence of the excerpt below where he d...
