@Braiam - yeah I saw it, but didn't really feel like doing it, it's a major task to me.
 
@slm I don't even know where to start... or if my edit will get through the queue
wait, I got an idea...

@slm I started editing this one unix.stackexchange.com/a/104816/33055 in the first posts queue until I hit the "Can any please help me"... and I cancelled and flagged as not an answer. (especially because I find adding <kbd></kbd> tags cumbersome. Is there a keyboard shortcut for that)?

@Anthon - I've not found one either, I do them by hand. I edited that Q but flagged it as not an answer too.
I use the auto proforma chrome plugin for the auto comments. I'd look around stackapps, there are lots of addons to the browser to make things more automated for the regulars on the SE sites.

Q: <kbd> markup shortcuts

Brock Adams Inspired by the question, "Markdown syntax for <kbd>foo</kbd>", this script adds both a button and a keyboard shortcut to each post's <textarea> (when editing posts). Press the button or press AltK on the keyboard and <kbd></kbd> will be inserted at the cursor. If text is selected, it will...

 
@slm, thanks I will have a look at the apps.
 
Hi,
I am trying to block new TCP packets which have flags set along with SYN. Like SYN & FIN set at same time. Will the below rule for iptables suffice-
iptables -A INPUT -m state --state NEW -p tcp --tcp-flags ! ALL SYN -j DROP

just awarded my first bounty \o/
@Anthon GreaseMonkey?

@derobert +1 on that answer, the history is really interesting. but since it's userspace, isn't udev just doing mknod behind the scenes? so wouldn't you still need to allocate major/minor device numbers? (should I take that to main?)
 
8:01 AM
@strugee The difference is that the kernel can (and does) dynamically assign the numbers, and tell those to udev. udev doesn't actually know the numbers (with maybe a few exceptions) ; it gets them from /sys. (Going to bed, but how that works would make a good question on the site.)
 
@derobert I'll ask, maybe you can get it in the morning. good night!

Q: Can I use hdparm -B254 -S240 /dev/sda?

waterloo2005According man hdparm , -B254 do not permit spindown. -B(1--127) permits spindown. But -B127 -S240 will makes Load_Cycle_Count increase too fast about 4/minute. How to set up hdparm parameter? I use laptop computer. Thanks

I seem to remember there being a typo and the values weren't correct, anyone else confirm this?
This was the site that had bad info on it

A: What do different values of hard drive's Advanced Power Management feature (hdparm -B) affect, except spin-down?

Carl BWith credit to www.freeminded.org Values 1-127 permit spin-down, 128-254 do not and 255 disables advanced power management altogether (if the drive supports it). Values 1 to 240 are in 5 second steps, values 241 to 251 are steps of 30 minutes, see the table below. There is more inf...

A: How can I disable the button of my CD/DVD drive?

slmThanks to @Affix's answer which gave me the right direction to head, I've figured out the solution to the problem. The problem is definitely caused by UDEV as you've guessed. The issue is this line that is in most UDEV files related to the cdrom drive. Example On Fedora 19 there is the followi...

 
Is it worth asking about why use dh vs old-style debhelper? pros/cons. Or is this too specialist?
 
@slm you sure you want that in your Q? unix.stackexchange.com/q/103440/41104
if you allow that tag to exist you will know madness...
