Jessie ships with systemd-sysv as default init system. This package is installed automatically on upgrades.
It then details steps you can take to prevent systemd-sysv from being installed but with the note
(!) Caution Be advised that some packages may have degraded behavior or may be lacking features under a non-default init system.
I read that as saying while you don't have to use systemd, don't expect everything to work if you don't. And once things stop working, the choice pretty much goes away. It's not FUD, that's where it looks like things are headed.
HISTCONTROL A colon-separated list of values controlling how commands are saved on the history list. If the list of values includes ignorespace, lines which begin with a space character are not saved in the history list.
HISTIGNORE A colon-separated list of patterns used to decide which command lines should be saved on the history list. Each pattern is anchored at the beginning of the line and must match the complete line.
There are only 2 real solutions if you want real long term storage. The first is you become Linus and just dump it on a server and let the rest of the world back it up, and the second is you make your data a religious text somehow. Because those guys with translate it for centuries to come, even if it means sitting 50 dudes in a room for 3 years with nothing but a feather, ink, and parchment.
Because of the sloping terrain and city codes regarding minimum foundation thicknesses, it ended up taking 96 80lbs bags
96 80lb bags would only cover 115 square feet at 6". And if it's a slope, it would have to be smaller than 10x10. Where do you live where they have building requirements for such a small shed? In AZ, you don't have to care at all until you go over 200 square feet.
I worked around the PHB doing something like this by telling him we'd written our own cloud software and were using it because it was more secure than what is currently available.
He doesn't talk to cloud guys, because we've already got a cloud provider (AFAHKT).
Probably the best variant of this I've seen was a friend who concatenated md5sums of various kernels he'd compiled into a string and printed them onto a dog tag which he kept on his person.
Based on something he knew about the machines location he started at a certain row and column and typed a certain number of characters off the tag.
I don't get robocalls anymore. I won't promise that it'll work for you, but it worked for me.
First, I got google voice and enabled Global Spam Filtering, then I replaced my home phone with an omni. The only number I give anyone is my google voice number (which also rings my cell).
All the robocalls just stopped.
No, I don't work for them, no I don't get kickbacks, and no this isn't a solution for everyone (my landline no longer has 911), But it works for me. So far.
And we'll never get a little slip of paper telling us "We missed you, so now you've got to drive down to the UPS office to pick up your package".
Oddly enough, USPS is the only company to do this to me. The rest will simply try again the next day, but USPS always makes me go to the post office, wait in line, and then show ID and sign for anything that has delivery confirmation.
I can see several uses for this thing. As soon as I saw it I thought about re-bonding cracked plastic pieces, quickly making a plastic washer, using it to freeze electronic components that are likely to get bumped and break, or make a quick replacement knob for that amplifier I got at the thrift store. Heck, you could quickly draw an enclosure for a raspberry pi.
As others above have said, it's mostly a hot glue gun for ABS, but I can think of 3 or 4 times in the last year where such an item would have come in really handy.
For now I'll skip the $50 and continue using an old soldering iron and "salvaged" ABS. I'd certainly pick it up for $20.

See the following in the bash man page:

HISTIGNORE A colon-separated list of patterns used to decide which command lines should be saved on the history list. Each pattern is anchored at the beginning of the line and must match the complete line.
Yes. Let's ask the folks at Battlebots if we need to update the three laws.
If you think using a proxy adds any real security, first stop to think about what type of person/organization is willing to run an open proxy.

come to think of it, same thing.
Yeah, and don't tell me you're using an Apple one-button mouse and that I'm an insensitive clod.
Where have you been? Apple got rid of that button a while ago.
Obviously she clicked "X" for "X"-treamly interested. Isn't that how everything works these days?
in case of whoosh.
You can't fix stupid.
You can buy a cat, name it stupid, and get it fixed.

It shows that there's an incline of purchase, not a descent.

Yes, things like this really work in real life.

The problem isn't that they would treat Charlie Shrem differently, the problem is Charlie Shrem doesn't have 2 billion dollars to give them.
I think we can all agree that it bears repeating- repetition is the key.
Additionally, try to focus on repetition. Repetition is the key.
Actually, there's the concept of Natural Law to consider. You may find this interesting.
But not everyone can do it.
I would argue that very few jobs are actually "good" for you.
But we can't all run around naked in the forest eating nuts and berries.
Quite the conundrum.
And how do you propose to know if any particular compiler or library is or isn't compromised?
Obviously you'd just write the compiler and libraries from scratch.
And we already know the name.
Direct Wayland.
I have no idea why I typed "omni", I meant obihai.

Where the hell is the human medical technology?
I don't know about you, but I'd just assume pass on grafting eyeballs onto my bum TYVM.
