Job control at the shell:
Run a command that keeps running. For these purposes, the otherwise pointless command:
ping localhost > /dev/null<br>Nothing much will happen, though the program is running normally. It just doesn't spit out any output, or, rather, spits it out into the null device, where it gets eaten. So pretend this is doing something useful.
Now we want to run something else. We don't need to kill this task, nor do we need to open a new terminal or swap virtual consoles. We don't need screen or tmux for this either.
Just hit Control+Z. You will get something like:
[1]+ Stopped ping localhost > /dev/null<br>and the shell prompt will be back. That task is now "stopped" which means it's basically paused -- still running, but suspended.
The [1] is the job number -- and you can refer to the job by that id with the bg and fg commands by prefixing it with %.
Run this:
bg %1<br>and you will get the output
[1]+ ping localhost > /dev/null &<br>This tells you than job 1 is running again, now in the background, exactly as if you had run it with
& at the end. Now, if you want to bring it back to the foreground, you can just do this:fg %1<br>and it will bring it up front and centre. If, instead, you want to terminate the job, you can do
kill %1<br>and that'll do it for you.
You can have about as many jobs in one shell as you want. That's kind of the point -- you're in a Vim session and you want to hop out to a shell, hit Control+Z to pause it so you can come back later. Start a long Make build, and background it so you can go do something else. This is one of the key things that makes the command line useful.
Oh, and if it's not ambiguous, you can use %name (where name is the program name) instead of the number.

I made the #curl manpages on the website show the examples snippets using a grey background to "stand out" a little better:
It made me spot that they often get a leading blank line so now I have a pending PR to fix that as well...
I was giving training all week, and was using the curl command, its man page and your site of documentation done well.
Followed by the warning, not all projects do it so well.
Librsvg 2.58.94 is out! This is the release candidate for GNOME 47.
A bunch of build fixes, and two bug fixes from fuzz testing.

After every flight, UPS pilots fill out a form, called a "gripe sheet" which tells mechanics about problems with the aircraft. The mechanics correct the problems, documnt their repairs on the form, then pilots review the gripe sheets before the next flight.
Never let it be said that ground crews lack a sense of humor. Here are actual maintenance complaints submittd by UPS pilots ("P") and solutions recorded ("S") by maintenance engineers:
P: Left inside main tire almost needs replacement.
S: Almost replaced left inside main tire.
P: Test flight OK, except auto-land very rough.
S: Auto-land not installed on this aircraft.
P: Something loose in cockpit
S: Something tightened in cockpit
P: Dead bugs on windshield.
S: Live bugs on back-order.
P: Autopilot in altitude-hold mode produces a 200 feet per minute descent
S: Cannot reproduce problem on ground.
P: Evidence of leak on right main landing gear.
S: Evidence removed.
P: DME volume unbelievably loud.
S: DME volume set to more believable level.
P: Friction locks cause throttle levers to stick.
S: That's what friction locks are for.
P: IFF inoperative in OFF mode.
S: IFF always inoperative in OFF mode.
P: Suspected crack in windshield.
S: Suspect you're right.
P: Number 3 engine missing.
S: Engine found on right wing after brief search.
P: Aircraft handles funny.
S: Aircraft warned to: straighten up, fly right, and be serious.
P: Target radar hums.
S: Reprogrammed target radar with lyrics.
P: Mouse in cockpit.
S: Cat installed.
P: Noise coming from under instrument panel. Sounds like a midget poundng on something with a hammer.
S: Took hammer away from midget.

The image shows a UPS cargo airplane in flight against a clear blue sky. The aircraft is a large, four-engine jet with the UPS logo prominently displayed on the tail. The body of the plane is mostly white with a brown and gold stripe running along the side. The words "Worldwide Services" and "Synchronizing the world of commerce" are written on the side of the plane. The landing gear is extended, indicating that the plane is either approaching for landing or has just taken off.

Ich weiß ja jetzt nicht, ob es Menschen wirklich von Straftaten abhält, wenn man ihnen jegliches (Bar-)Geld, jegliche Selbstbestimmung über alle Aspekte ihres Lebens bis hin zu den Nahrungsmitteln und jegliche Teilhabe an der Gesellschaft verwehrt.
Aber vielleicht bin ich einfach nicht so klug wie Herr Lindner & seine Kollegen.

Unsere Vortragsreihe Tram & Design geht in die nächste Runde. Als nächstes haben wir Alfred Peter aus Straßburg zu Gast.
Tramway Superstar
Die Renaissance von Strasbourg
11.09. 18:30
Baukulturforum (Waisenhofstr. 3)
Alfred Peter hat die moderne Straßburger Tram über 30 Jahre mitgestaltet, vom Neubau bis zur jetzt sechsten Linie und den aktuellen Erweiterungen.
Straßburg hat sich seither völlig verändert: Ruhe und Gelassenheit beherrschen jetzt die Innenstadt, nicht das Auto. Das hat mehr Leben in die Innenstadt gebracht, der Einzelhandel profitierte enorm.

I recently learned about another woman who had left her PhD program because all the men in her lab wouldn't stop hitting on her and harassing her.
This is not the first time I have heard a story like this.
I am not usually prone to fits of uncontrollable rage, but I have been fucking seething.
We need to do better.
