Best practice to use $? in bash? If you use this functionality inline and don't want to return from the true side you can replace return $? with the : builtin. |

Why do /usr and /tmp directories for Linux miss vowels in their spellings? Most file systems store the file in blocks. Sizes range from 512 bytes on up in powers of 2. Available sized depend on the file system. Some filesystems will store the tail (partially filled last block) in the inode stucture. Occupied space may be more closely related to the number of bytes, than is found with systems that only use block level storage. |

How to tweak Linux to run reliably on flash memory? OpenWRT puts /tmp on a tmpfs file system. Frequently changed parts of var which do not need to persist are symlinked into /tmp. There is no default swap device. The filesystem on flash only gets updated when the configuration is changed or files are modified in /root. I mount an old USB flash drive for swap and /home. I should redirect /root to /home/root. |

squid (reverse proxy) configuration @Wolfy: For a reverse proxy I would configure Apache (or nginx) to act as a reverse proxy. Apache has very good controls to restrict access by IP address and/or require a password. Apache can be configured as to cache responses if that is what you need. |

exim4 on debian: why does this ACL work when testing with -bh but not in actual use? @jcomeau_ictx On its own this rule is quite accurate, but after applying other rules, it becomes highly inaccurate. I am testing with the added condition added in my edit. I no longer allow Spamhaus listed senders to send the email body, so my stats will be understated for the percentage that Spamhaus rejected. |
