@StephenKitt Maybe I am a bit oversensitized now (and please be assured I am not trying to "get back at you" - I fully acknowledge that I let an error slip there last time 😅), but I wonder why you accepted this suggested edit without improvement edit.
@StephenKitt I think the edit submitters change of a hard-coded path to an unquoted variable despite OP stating in a comment that there are spaces in the paths would likely lead to confusing behavior. Also, they changed the script to require parameters without stating so at least in a usage example which I would think can confuse an unsuspecting reader.
@StephenKitt I don't know what the "correct" procedure would be here; I chose to reject the edit but that may also have been somewhat exaggerated ...
@AdminBee Note that it was actually the OP who suggested the edit. But regardless, you're quite right and the variables should at least be quoted. Personally I would have probably gone for "improve edit" since it would be a good edit IMO if the variables were quoted.
@AdminBee that’s a fair question, thanks for noticing, and yes, I should have improved the edit!
And as a more general point, in my mind the first rule of commenting on others’ actions is being willing to accept similar comments on one own actions; I welcome feedback and don’t claim to be perfect (I’ve learnt an awful lot in many different respects through my participation on Unix.SE).
@MichaelHomer yes, it’s understandable but counterproductive some times, especially since it only applies to editors whose edits have to be reviewed anyway
@StephenKitt I agree with your view on commenting, and as I said - no offence taken in your pointing out my mistake there; it was a good wake-up call to ensure I don't get too cozy while reviewing.
Actually, I may not have looked carefully enough at that proposed edit today ;)
I have the same issue ..so far the only solution Ive found suggests the boot loader is the prob. One work around suggested is using Plop Boot Manager - see:
https://forum.manjaro.org/t/imac-screen-problem/7450
The link has no more details, really, it just says that someone got it to work with the "Plop Boot Manager". That is actually mentioned in the answer. Now, some details on what this thing is, how to install it etc would be good, but the answer kinda can stand on its own without the link.
I'd go with "comment", myself -- as a breadcrumb towards a possible solution
(apart from the 1-rep unable-to-comment aspect)
I can see a possible perspective from AdminBee (putting words/thoughts in their mouth) that their comment on the A gives the OP a chance to save their post by editing it.
I can too, I can just also see the other side (this answer is still mildly informative without the link) so I wanted second opinions. I completely understand where AdminBee is coming from.
I would respond to my own thought there by saying "voting to delete is still OK; if the community votes to delete it, the author can post an improved version"
I think if non-mods delete it, the OP can undelete it? Maybe? I'm more sure that mod-deletion stays deleted.
@terdon Thanks for the ping. I agree it is not your typical "link only" answer because the linked content is just as uninformative on that boot loader. It is admittedly a copy-and-paste comment I once saved in a file after typing the same text on link-only answers once too often :)
No more re-typing the same comments over and over!

Old crypto algorithms die hard: unix.stackexchange.com/posts/340853/… (constant trickle of upvotes on my answer explaining how to enable diffie-hellman-group1-sha1 key exchange).
@terdon Btw, user @mortloci seems to be unregistered; no idea if they ever intend to come back to the Q&A. Maybe leaving the answer as a stub is better than nothing - or convert it to a comment?
@FaheemMitha “OpenSSH supports this method, but does not enable it by default because it is weak and within theoretical range of the so-called Logjam attack.” (from the page linked in the answer)
@StephenKitt do you have any idea off the top of your head (I'm sure I could find data if I searched) for how likely it is to get an md5sum collision for two different files of a few gigs each?
We are planning on using a compression tool that can use md5sums to check that the decompressed version matches the original and one of my colleagues dislikes the idea of using md5sum for this since it is "obsolete". I had understood it's obsolete for cryptography, sure, but for something like this?
I wonder how much safer is the use of the SHA256 hashes for integrity checks?
Note: Consider the file content as random input (no attacks)
Based on your note of "no attacks" it seems to me that you are asking:
"What is the probability that a random change (e.g., bit flip during download) to a f...
