what do I need to append to ls if i want to list only the filenames of all the files in the specified file system that are unwritable? i wish i had information retention of above dementia levels i read about this before it's specified by xx-r-x or something like that file permissions right?
@JeffSchaller the "I still have so much to learn" feeling for me is literally nauseating, and on the maple forum ive found threads where people have told me to change to linux spanning almost a decade before i actually did, and knowing more now about why they were saying that, yeah feeling pretty stupid tbh
@Kusalananda thankyou so much for that, I'm just hoping that seeing where they are in relation to everything else will help me understand things and why they are non writable, started with reading the man page for readline, and in reading that /etc/inputrc is unwritable,has me wonder how many which ways i could ruin my OS like i did with my Ubuntu, which didnt really matter but I would be pretty devastated if the same happened with my Debian
sure that was the plan but I have never mucked around with environmental variables before its just nerves, like when I first started to learn reg ex i thought i was awesome after 24 hrs and literally wiped an entire OS from this laptop in a single rm command, thankfully it was an Ubuntu and didnt matter but how easily it can happen is the lesson i took from it
it's just more reading in order to read what im reading im going to be stuck here for the rest of the night
8-bit clean describes a computer system that correctly handles 8-bit character encodings, such as the ISO 8859 series and the UTF-8 encoding of Unicode.
== History ==
Up to the early 1990s, many programs and data transmission channels assumed that all characters would be represented as numbers between 0 and 127 (7 bits); for example, the ASCII standard used only 7 bits per character, avoiding an 8-bit representation in order to save on data transmission costs. On computers and data links using 8-bit bytes this left the top bit of each byte free for use as a parity, flag bit, or meta data control...
if i dont getting good at number theory is an epic waste of my time i dont want to be math com 20 yrs latter as an elderly disheveled green trophy junkie

@AdamL The rm command and the shell does not use regular expressions, so I can imagine that using a regular expression as a shell pattern could possibly cause havoc under some circumstances.
@FaheemMitha because when Freetype 2 was initially packaged, it was co-installable with Freetype 1; now that Freetype 1 is gone, libfreetype-dev is unambiguous
i never had any success with signing up with the debian forum. something deep down says i do deserve it for some reason. How can i return the number of characters used to store the current value of a variable in a shell script, and then the number of bits needed for each? is there a straight forward one line way to do this? like i am just interested in retriving on char at a time which is easy using var1= echo ${var0:0:$m} in a loop that ends if var1=var0 and returns the value of m that
condition is met for, this will be the total number of chars used for the value of var0, but i dont know how to find the number of bits for individual chars
one* char at a time sorry
and obviously ive only described the script and am sucking at actually pulling that off
sorry just wanted to mention that with my Debian installs, I have occasionally run it in recovery mode (by choice) and looking at the output during boot, it seems to be a good thing to do, definitely claims to have done tasks like finding missing essential drivers and installing them, i don't know maybe it happens on a normal boot but no output is shown
i obviously have no clue if it is beneficial i just notice a lot of output and it is different every tme
maple should have a package for maple code to bash scripts that would definitely save this brain hurt\
if not ill just keep saying nice things about Canada
what
what SE community will help me do that btw
im not exactly very knowledge about canada all i know comes from south park with cant bone well
