comment “No such file or directory” on an executable, yet file exists and ldd reports all libraries present
Let's try objdump -j .interp -s ./zls. I suspect that will list the file that doesn't exist.

comment Can anyone decipher this kernel stack trace? I think it's hardware, but
It says libafs (which I assume is the AFS filesystem) all over it, why do you think its hardware?

comment “no public key available” on apt-get update
... and that string you elided is an important bit. It'd let us identify which keys you're missing (assuming installing the keyring packages—preferably from trusted media—that ruda suggested doesn't help)

comment How do I specify arguments to return all dot files, but not . and ..?
Indeed, this works in bash, and I think POSIX shell as well.

Indeed, you're right, that does work in tcsh. At least unless your filenames contain newlines, which is sufficiently uncommon that its probably ignorable.

Did you have multiple items in that directory? I'd expect it to work with 1, but fail with 2 or more. I guess its possible tcsh does something weird there...

comment How to monitor the last PID assigned by the kernel?
Odd, I don't have that file on several Linux boxes I checked, but they do have pid namespace support. One is even using namespaces...

du * will work even if there are names with spaces in the directory. du `ls -A` will not (and du "`ls -A`" will not work at all).

comment What email features/functionality are baked into a typical Linux/GNU distro?
@Corey I'm already one of the reopen votes. You could try stopping by the chat room chat.stackexchange.com/rooms/26/unix-and-linux and seeing if you can drum up two more reopen votes...

comment Forcibly create directory hard link(s)?
Errrr... From the question: "In my case I'm currently just using rsync to create hard-links to existing files, but this slow and wasteful, particularly with very large backups and especially if I already know which directories are unchanged." Time for more coffee, I think.

@HaukeLaging Dropbox doesn't like symlinks. It immediately converts them to copies.

@MattDMo I believe Camera Uploads is a special folder in Dropbox (used by the e.g., Android app), I'm not sure you can move it...

comment Unexpectedly lost speaker output. Headphone output works fine
Try a LiveCD. That should help distinguish between config issue and hardware issue.

comment Forcibly create directory hard link(s)?
Well, I wasn't expecting the wrong inode count. But the point is, OP actually wants to use this, not just do it as an intellectual curiosity. And this is clearly not a sane backup strategy. Or even half-sane. So that comment is to make sure OP is aware of that.

FYI, Mod2 probably just means you have numlock on.

comment Forcibly create directory hard link(s)?
Short answer: No. The reason it fails is the kernel prohibits it.
