Is it possible to know the 3 missing Characters? 6I6W-D7BV-NSKB-4###? Made from SPRNG number and converted to Base36 Code. These characters are excluded from being in the code. No (0,7,8,9,A,C,Q,R,S,T,X)

Comment on Disable “You have new mail” terminal message by Angus Hardie

In reply to Ryan. I disagree that it's stupid, it's a choice based on the setup. If you have a user account on a system that receives external mail, it's probable that there is always new mail in the account, so the notification actually tells you nothing. This isn't turning the mail account off, merely the mail notification, which I personally find to be a distraction. You must find this indication useful, in which case you should presumably leave it on.

How many times you log in your system? Once per day max?
A 10 characters single line of text per day is what bothers you?
You receive there important information about what is going on in your system, as cronjobs outputs and others, silencing it is not only pointless but stupid.

// — quick solution to remove utf-8 etc. (urlencode) —
array_walk_recursive($data, function (&$item)
{
$item = trim(preg_replace(‘/[\x00-\x1F\x7F\xA0]/u’, “”, $item));
});

Replace nbsp (non-breaking space) with regular space like so. $value = preg_replace('~\x{00a0}~siu',' ',$value); Note that there is a space between the two single quotes after "siu'," and before ",$value". You could change that to '' (no space) to remove the nbsp.

Comment on Change console keyboard layout in debian by Rolf

Thanks!
I had a problem with my keys at the console. I had no pipe character (it produced a tilde instead – and the tilde produced an A followed by some form. Sometimes characters would refuse to be deleted from the command line!
All worked well within X, but not at the “proper” Linux console.
This command fixed the mapping, now I can have pipes! I wonder what I should do if my pipe character is broken. It’s a little ridiculous.
But there are still some minor problems with the “proper” linux console, namely in the presentation – weird, gibberish characters being used for ASCII table borders instead of the lines, for example. But the consequences are only cosmetic so far.

In addition to the comment of djamu: It is necessary to restart the keyboard-service:


> dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration
> service keyboard-setup restart
