1d	comment	Lock screen after blanking with gnome-screensaver and XFCE Rereading your question, I realize this probably doesn't answer your question as it works from command line only.
1d	comment	Lock screen after blanking with gnome-screensaver and XFCE I am unfamiliar with xfce, but does `qdbus org.freedesktop.ScreenSaver /ScreenSaver Lock` work (kde version)? on Gnome you use `qdbus org.gnome.ScreenSaver /ScreenSaver Lock`. You may have to type `qdbus \| grep -i screensaver` to find your specific variation.

Mar 17	comment	A clever way to defragment a FAT filesystem? You can check the result before changing the content of the flash drive.

Mar 16	comment	A clever way to defragment a FAT filesystem? I would go for your first option if space isn't an issue. I would create a clean filesystem in a large file that is loop-mounted. That way you get the opportunity to check the result before overwriting the stick.
Mar 4	comment	Bash script that automatically kills processes when CPU/memory usage gets too high are you familiar with the commands `cpulimit` and `timeout`?
Mar 4	comment	Bash script that automatically kills processes when CPU/memory usage gets too high In my use case the killing is not desired.
Mar 4	comment	Bash script that automatically kills processes when CPU/memory usage gets too high First monday of the month and my PC is checking a (slow'ish) RAID6 set. CPU load easily peaks above 8 because it is constantly waiting for disk IO from this RAID set. Nothing wrong, system is still very responsive. Your script would kill my firefox which uses only 3.6% of the available 400%. Just saying you may be hunting for ghosts with this script. BTW: your system will not get damaged because of high load and when memory runs out, the kernel will do a semi-educated guess on which process(es) to kill.

Feb 24	comment	reading from a file and changing its pattern into an array? Set up key authentication on the Cisco boxes. It is a lot of work the first time, but once it works you can easily (and still secure) log on to the machines.
Feb 20	comment	How to build AVR cross-compler under Gentoo Linux? I wasn't aware of that, you should update your question to make it more specific.
Feb 20	comment	How to build AVR cross-compler under Gentoo Linux? Distributions are pretty much a personal thing to choose. In my opinion Gentoo is brilliant for learning all the ins and outs of GNU/Linux. I don't like Fedora and OpenSUSE because these are pretty much the test and play yard for RHEL and SLED. I personally am not fond of rpm-based package managers. I had couple bad experiences in the past, probably these are solved during the past 15 years but never really tried them again. I switched to Kubuntu because of the ease of its use and the KDE interface is a bit like the Windows interface that I'm familiar with.
Feb 19	comment	How to build AVR cross-compler under Gentoo Linux? These kind of messages are, amongst other things, the reason why I switched distributions couple years ago. Gentoo is brilliant for leaning Linux, but it can be a pain when you want things to just work (after installing updates).
