A: Why does crontab have different flags for its dry-run / linter mode? I found the Debian 13 manpage for `cron(1)`. Notably, in the Conflicting Packages section of the sidebar, it lists `cronie`, whose manpage matches the ones linked in the question. I guess I could write a script to read the manpage and pick which command to run, but that seems kind of insane. (... (more) |

Why does crontab have different flags for its dry-run / linter mode? If I look at my `man 1 crontab`, it says that `crontab -n file` will test the suitability of file as a parseable crontab file. If I look at `man 1 crontab` on [Man7][] or [ManKier][], they both say that `-n` does something entirely different, and that it's `-T` for a linter. 1. What gives? ... (more) |

The OSS community also used xz as an example, asking things like: How did this happen? What can we learn? Now that the window of hardware-specific ifunc resolution to GOT freeze is an attack vector, how can we detect it?

Now I'm confused. If you say you know where you're installing to, what's the problem? I have a hard time imagining a global installation that depends on a user's PATH. Like are people adding their `~/Downloads` to PATH and installing from `~`? Is this to figure out what program can execute a cert... (more) |

A: Is there a danger in using the current FreeBSD version? No. There is no known danger. The XZ backdoor was serious and very nearly became a catastrophe, but it was patched before release. A few things happened as a result of the XZ debacle, wherein: - 👍 A number of developers went on a tear looking for other planted vulnerabilities when XZ was fixe... (more) |

Is your main objective to do the installation? Can you `sudo --preserve-environment` and install to wherever root would instead of fishing around for all of a user's PATH and aliases? (more) |

A: How do package managers track the installed files? [Homebrew][] has different commands for `brew uninstall {package}` to remove the executable(s) versus `brew zap {package}` which further performs arbitrary extra cleanup steps specified by the formula.[^formula] The zap steps are usually deletion of user data and caches, letting a user decide ...

A: How to type letters for non Latin alphabets? I would look into [Keyman][], especially if you have expansive or niche language needs. It's a FOSS project started in 1993, and supports 2500+ languages on Windows, Mac, Linux, iOS, and Android. There's also a browser version. (more) |

A: Run an app on Phosh from the CLI I have determined that the specific app I want was installed as a Flatpak, meaning this is the way you open it: ```sh flatpak run com.example.Foo ``` I'd still be interested in a generic way to determine the CLI for an arbitrary app from the Phosh drawer.

Run an app on Phosh from the CLI One of the applications on my phone has a field to run a CLI command. I'd like to invoke another application with that property, but I don't know where it lives. I don't see likely candidates in my `PATH`, and I'm tearing my hair out trying to find where the application drawer is configured. (... (more) |

A: Can I interrupt a crashing/frozen Ubuntu desktop? Does it help you to go to a virtual terminal with `Ctrl`+`Alt`+`F1` (thru `F6`)? Then, maybe you can kill the problematic process(es) and go back with `Ctrl`+`Alt`+`F7` or `Alt`+`F7`. (more) |

A: How can I get "help" with vanilla sh builtins? I use `man sh` and then `/^\s+read` to get to the section of the man page that discusses the appropriate builtin. You can get a direct link to the Bash `read` in Debian's manpage site, which has this to say about `-s`: > - `-s` Silent mode. If input is coming from a terminal, characters are... (more) |

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][]....
