I found a workaround for my particular situation: [Windows Setup can read the `autounattend.xml` file from separate media](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/manufacture/desktop/automate-windows-setup?view=windows-11#use-a-usb-flash-drive).
That was enough to address my immediate p... (more) |

I seem to recall that you use Mac OS X. If you're running that `git` command in a terminal, you might be able to use `awk` to transform the commit hashes into usable links. Try something like:
$ git log | awk '/^commit/ { print "https://github.com/codidact/qpixel/commit/"$2 }'
You can do th... (more) |

You should be able to open the DOM inspector and in the middle pane (the per-tag styles list) use the `:hov` feature on some element to see how the hover interacts with the rest of the document tree. (more) |

Hi AZeed, and welcome to Power Users and Codidact! I'm afraid this question isn't really answerable *as it stands*, because "why" is inherently guesswork and opinion (unless someone in a position of having access to likely-privileged information sees this and decides to answer, any attempt at answeri...

Building slightly on Olin Lathrop's suggestion, does rstudio actually invoke `pandoc` using an absolute path? I'm thinking that if it doesn't, you could put a small script in some directory that occurs before /opt/homebrew/bin in your $PATH. On the other hand, if it does, consider from where it gets ...

Is it a hard requirement to use `cp` for this, or would other file-copying tools also be acceptable? (I imagine `rsync` just might be useful here, for example, but haven't looked in detail.) You tagged this "linux", so are we to assume GNU coreutils `cp` or do you need POSIX `cp` compatibility so tha... (more) |

Given only an image, I think about the best we can suggest is to use an image editor (either GUI or command-line-driven) to make the change; that's clearly suboptimal, because it's going to be extremely specific to this one instance. But if you include *how* the image was generated, and ideally also ... (more) |

It's worth noting that the comment actually was posted; twice, even, presumably because you tried again once. (It would be great if you can confirm that you retried exactly once.)

I'm all for letting people express themselves, so *please* don't take this as an attempt at censorship because it really isn't, but *please, think twice before you use the word "undoubtedly"* when introducing whatever problem you are asking about.

A footnote reference isn't itself a paragraph, so the formatting for it is not a paragraph style; thus it's hardly surprising that you can't customize paragraph styling for it. I don't have an installation of Word handy at the moment, but since border formatting appears to be available based on the s... (more) |

Considering how much can be done with either, I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if that setting can be changed through a Powershell script and/or using WMIC. That said, I don't really know where to begin looking for the correct incantation. (more) |

Sometimes graphical programs will emit diagnostic information to wherever they were started from. If you're starting the browser through the GUI, this will usually be invisible, but if you start it from a terminal, you'll be able to see it.

Firefox stores your profile with settings in a hidden directory named `.mozilla` (actually `.mozilla/firefox/<something>`) under your home directory; in \*nix parlace, `~/.mozilla`).

The preference name and the quote from the documentation already spell this out, but I think it's worth actually highlighting that *this only affects copying from the location bar*.

If I replace the motherboard but leave everything else (CPU, RAM, storage, OS installation, ...) untouched, is that the same "computing system" or a different one?

An IP address is not a unique identifier; aside from the traditional private assignment ranges (RFC 1918; 10/8, 172.16/12, 192.168/16), there are both multicast (224/4 IIRC) and other ranges that are not globally routable or globally unique (e.g. 100.64/10 for CGNAT), even if you assume Internet conn...

Clearly, WhatsApp (er Facebook, er Meta) feel that having a requirement for a phone number to sign up for the service does not "lose or let down" a sufficient number of users for the loss to bother them enough to change how the service works.

Looking back at this; did the update by any chance also cause you to get a newer version of Datenstrom Yellow?

@#8046 It's `/usr/bin/lsb_release` on Debian 11 (bullseye, current stable), which should be in any sane default `$PATH`. I don't have any RHEL or CentOS system to check on, but you can always try `/usr/sbin/lsb_release` and `/sbin/lsb_release` as well, just to see if they work any better. `lsb_releas... (more) |

The `el7` in the kernel version number indicates some version of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 or a derivative. `lsb_release -a` will tell you; `uname -a` tells you the details about the running kernel only. (more) |

The pixel size of the desktop (for want of a better word here) can be larger than the pixel size of the portion that's actually displayed on the physical screen at any one time.

A note on terminology; neither LibreOffice Writer, Microsoft Word or Abiword are *text editors*; they are *word processors*. Examples of text editors are pico/nano, Notepad, Mousepad, Vi/Vim, Emacs. One thing that tends to set a word processor apart from a text editor is the ability to set various ty... (more) |

@#36377 @#53305 `jq` works well as a validator, and that's how I used it here, but it's really a JSON parser and query tool, not a validator as such.

@#8046 No, TCP/IP doesn't encode anything about the application as such.

The more general term for the type of software would be an *application firewall*.

Using HTTP 302 is likely a bad idea because different browsers have implemented it with different behavior; it's better to use 303 or 307 as appropriate for temporary redirects, and 301 for permanent redirects (while being aware of the consequences of doing so).

You state that a RAW image would be "completely uncompressed". That's unlikely; what's desired for RAW images is *lossless storage*, not necessarily *uncompressed* storage.
