his text is a brief description of the features that are present in the Bash shell (version 5.2, 19 September 2022). The Bash home page is http://www.gnu.org/software/bash/.
This is Edition 5.2, last updated 19 September 2022, of The GNU Bash Reference Manual, for Bash, Version 5.2.
Bash contains features that appear in other popular shells, and some features that only appear in Bash. Some of the shells that Bash has borrowed concepts from are the Bourne Shell (sh), the Korn Shell (ksh), and the C-shell (csh and its successor, tcsh). The following menu breaks the features up into categories, noting which features were inspired by other shells and which are specific to Bash.
This manual is meant as a brief introduction to features found in Bash. The Bash manual page should be used as the definitive reference on shell behavior.
My WebGUI hostsallow contained ONLY external IP addresses and not my local lan addres.
Solved it by editing (blanking) _hostsallowed variable in /etc/rc.d/lighttpd and restarting lighttppd.
PS: The script /etc/rc.d/lighttpd generates the config /var/etc/lighttpd; editing this config file directly does not work.

Currently we can have a home or small office NAS server from manufacturers such as QNAP, Synology or ASUSTOR among other manufacturers. However, you can also mount a NAS with the hardware you want, you will only have to install an operating system oriented to a NAS server, such as XigmaNAS. This operating system is one of the best we can find to use as a NAS server, it comes with a large number of services already installed, and it will even allow us to install any software that is compatible with FreeBSD. Do you want to know everything about this NAS-oriented operating system and how to configure it from scratch?
When using thermocouple sensors, the thermocouple wire used to carry the signal is just as important as the thermocouple sensor itself. Thermocouple wire is made from the same allow materials as the thermocouple sensor, and its primary role is to extend the thermocouple circuit from sensing junction (“hot junction”) to the measurement instrument (“cold junction”) without introducing additional errors.
Using thermocouple-grade wire or extension-grade wire helps ensure maximum temperature measurement accuracy - minimizing errors related to alloy composition or calibration mismatch.
Faith never knows where it is being led, but it loves and knows the One Who is leading. It is a life of faith, not of intellect and reason, but a life of knowing Who makes us “go.” The root of faith is the knowledge of a Person, and one of the biggest snares is the idea that God is sure to lead us to success.
Just last week, USAID officials and three company executives pleaded guilty in a massive fraud and bribery scheme involving at least 14 contracts totaling over $550 million
The trial showed that USAID contracting officer Roderick Watson took bribes and was showered with lavish gifts—including cash, laptops, thousands of dollars in tickets to a suite at an NBA game, a country club wedding, downpayments on two residential mortgages, cell phones, and even jobs for his relatives.
In exchange for these bribe payments, Watson influenced the award of over $550 million in contracts by manipulating the procurement process at USAID. He now faces a maximum penalty of 15 years in prison.

The solution is twofold.
The first part is to root out and eliminate these programs, which are currently managed by unelected bureaucrats and shouldn’t exist in the first place. //
The only way to do this is to elect representatives who agree with these principles, and then hold them accountable to ensure they do what we’ve elected them to do.
The second part is to enforce radical transparency and accountability in all future government activity. This part is much more difficult.
It starts with only allowing programs to be created in public through the official legislative process. No more administrative decree. If an elected official isn’t willing to go to the public and say, “Here’s what I want to create, here’s why, and here’s how it will work,” then it shouldn’t be allowed to exist. But it’s not just elected officials who play a role here—as citizens, we have a duty to make our voices heard during that process and then look at the results of the programs that our tax dollars, whether federal or local, are spent on and determine if they’ve been effective. //

Every grant of funds to an NGO should have to be signed for by a Representative or Senator. Then, that person should be held accountable for any fraud with those funds. After all, it is the JOB of the Representatives and Senators to responsibly spend taxpayer money. Oh, if the Representative or Senator loses their election in November, the funds should be frozen until another one signs for it. "Please explain to this court why you allowed the NGO to steal this money."
Likely most alarming to critics, the desired reforms emphasized tossing out the standards that the NRC currently uses that "posit there is no safe threshold of radiation exposure, and that harm is directly proportional to the amount of exposure."
Until Trump started meddling, the NRC established those guidelines after agreeing with studies examining "cancer cases among 86,600 survivors of the atomic bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in Japan during World War II," Science reported. Those studies concluded that "the incidence of cancer in the survivors rose linearly—in a straight line—with the radiation dose." By rejecting that evidence, Trump could be slowly creeping up the radiation dose and leading Americans to blindly take greater risks.
But according to Trump, by adopting those current standards, the NRC is supposedly bogging down the nuclear industry by trying to "insulate Americans from the most remote risks without appropriate regard for the severe domestic and geopolitical costs of such risk aversion." Instead, the US should prioritize solving the riddle of what might be safe radiation levels, Trump suggests, while restoring US dominance in the nuclear industry, which Trump views as vital to national security and economic growth.
Although Trump claimed the NRC's current standards were "irrational" and "lack scientific basis," Science reported that the so-called "linear no-threshold (LNT) model of ionizing radiation" that Trump is criticizing "is widely accepted in the scientific community and informs almost all regulation of the US nuclear industry."
For experts in estate planning, the question may start to arise as more AI ghosts pop up. But for now, writing "no AI resurrections" into a will remains a complicated process, experts suggest, and such requests may not be honored by all unless laws are changed to reinforce a culture of respecting the wishes of people who feel uncomfortable with the idea of haunting their favorite people through AI simulations.
For the first time since launching in 2009, WhatsApp will now show users advertisements. The ads are “rolling out gradually,” the company said.
For now, the ads will only appear on WhatsApp's Updates tab, where users can update their status and access channels or groups targeting specific interests they may want to follow. In its announcement of the ads, parent company Meta claimed that placing ads under Updates means that the ads won’t “interrupt personal chats.”
Meta said that 1.5 billion people use the Updates tab daily. However, if you exclusively use WhatsApp for direct messages and personal group chats, you could avoid ever seeing ads.
Rare RCA control panel from 1966 may be the only surviving example of its kind.
a certain kind of chrysanthemum flower contains toxins that kill insects and deter mice, all while making your home look inviting and pretty.
Chrysanthemum cinerariifolium, also classified in the Tanacetum and Pyrethum genera, is in the aster family and is sometimes called the "painted daisy." It's mildly toxic to people and mammals, so you might not want to plant it where your pets can reach it. However, you'll want to plant it around your home where you suspect mice are congregating. They'll move out of there fast!
Mice will stay away from chrysanthemums, but you can use their disdain for them strategically to either get rid of mice or prevent them altogether.
Archaeologists finally broke the cipher on 255 strange symbols etched into a Canadian rock over 200 years ago — and it’s the Lord’s Prayer… in Swedish.
Discovered in 2018 after a tree fell near Wawa, Ontario (just a stone’s throw from Michigan), the bizarre runes had stumped many — until Ryan Primrose from Ontario’s archaeology squad swooped in with the scoop.
After seven years of trying to decipher what the unusual carving symbolized, Primose finally learned that the etched symbols are part of an alphabet that was used in Scandinavia.
And the symbols translated to a 1611 Swedish version of The Lord’s Prayer, according to the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation.
No other fancy artifacts showed up nearby, so Primrose figured the area where this carved rock lay most likely was treated as an outdoor chapel.
The space agency’s astronomical models suggest that a lunar eclipse turned the moon red over Jerusalem on Friday, April 3, 33 AD — a date many scholars tie to Jesus’ death. //

MSNBC and CNN have been caught labeling the anti-ICE riots in Los Angeles "largely or mostly peaceful" and downplaying the chaos and violence a whopping 211 times since they started Friday, June 6.
According to a new study from the Media Research Center, analysts watched coverage on both networks from June 7- June 11, finding more than 200 examples in primetime of when reporters, guests, and or anchors labeled the rioters attacking law enforcement, burning cars, and blocking the freeways as "peaceful," or something similar.
The logic that ultimately drove our immigration policy to become effectively one of open borders under Joe Biden was built on the idea that Americans would not work in construction, manufacturing, food processing, or even the hospitality sector because... well, no one ever told us why Americans wouldn't do those jobs.
Omaha provided a laboratory to evaluate that claim. If Green Valley Foods required illegals to operate, then it was doomed. But something extraordinary happened:
Every seat in the waiting area of Glenn Valley Foods was occupied with people filling out job applications early Thursday afternoon, two days after the meatpacking plant became the center of the largest worksite immigration raid in the state of Nebraska so far this year.
Dozens of prospective employees, many of them Spanish speakers, had been coming in and out of the plant all day. Some were hoping to land a new job; others were coming in for training.
Throughout history, labor shortages have not resulted in better wages, working conditions, or employee bargaining power. Labor shortages produced chattel slavery, indentured servitude, sharecropping, serfdom, and peonage. Hiring illegals creates a workforce that can't complain, organize, or demand better pay and working conditions; the same characteristics also explain the in-your-face abuses of the H1B program. The issues with E-Verify aside, I would submit that employment practices that resulted in 50% of the workforce being illegals required some degree of willful blindness. As an aside, if you think the reason that all kinds of people were befouling their drawers over Elon Musk's DOGE team getting access to the Social Security master file was because they were concerned about the sanctity of our personal information, you are profoundly stupid.
Americans will take most jobs now filled by illegals if they are only allowed to compete for them. They will only be allowed to compete for those jobs when our government takes the issue of illegal immigration seriously, as it is doing under President Trump.
Jung describes a “complex” as a fragment of the psyche, emotionally charged and buried in the unconscious, that seizes control of perception when activated. These complexes are not chosen. They emerge unsolicited, often from unexamined pain, fear, or inherited narratives.
No one escapes them. I certainly haven’t. They explain how otherwise decent people can behave in baffling and morally catastrophic ways. It is the transformation of the beloved into the stranger, of Dr. Jekyll into Mr. Hyde, or Walter White into Heisenberg. We all live in tension between who we hope to be and what stirs beneath.
If I were to hazard a careful speculation (not an indictment), it would be that two powerful complexes have been activated in those I once trusted to see clearly. Their convergence has created a kind of moral short-circuit, the fallout of which I experience as abandonment disguised as principle.
The first complex is ancient. Antisemitism has sedimented over three millennia, shaping instinct, imagination, and judgment long before reason arrived. The Jew has always been the collective scapegoat, so naturally, we appear as “oppressor” in the false binary of modern moral imagination.
The second complex emerges from my peers’ self-image which is empathic, righteous, and principled, upon which their sense of meaning and virtue depends. Anything that threatens one’s self-image (regardless of construction) doesn’t just feel like criticism, but annihilation.
Their empathy flows to suffering, but more keenly to the symbolic innocent. Gazans are framed as the archetypal oppressed (stateless, brown, and grievable) while Jews, especially Israelis, are cast as hardened white-passing survivors-turned-state-builders. In a reductionist culture that equates power with guilt, Jewish strength not only erases Jewish pain, but is recast as villainous. //
I recall, perhaps bitterly, that Pharaoh’s heart was hardened so that God might deliver him a lesson he would never forget; that we are commanded not to hate the Egyptian, for we were strangers in his land; and that Christ, in his agony, still prayed: “Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.”
It is not my job to bring friends or enemies to consciousness. But for their sake and for mine, I can no longer remain silent. The Torah commands: “You shall surely rebuke your neighbor, and not bear sin because of him.” (Leviticus 19:17)
This rebuke is not vengeance. It is an act of spiritual hygiene. A way to prevent my conscience from curdling into complicity.
Empathy that never reaches the particular is not empathy, but abstraction. Jews, if nothing else, are particular. We are not asking for guilt or allegiance. We are not asking to be centered. We are simply asking to be seen. //
Jung wrote, “Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate.” A reckoning may come to my friends, as it often does, and often with great cost.
I pray it brings not ruin, but reflection. Not shame, but conscience. Not performative solidarity, but the real thing.
Padilla and the dying media also keep saying he identified himself as a senator — don’t you know who he is? — so there was no reason to deem him a threat. This is also nonsense. You don’t identify yourself while in the middle of shoving your way toward a high-ranking government official, or anyone else for that matter.
And it’s absurd to assume that any of the security personnel would have recognized Padilla. He’s hardly a rock star, and it’s not their job to know what every member of Congress who decides to pop off in public looks like. True, he shouted that he’s a senator. So what? The public parks of L.A. are crawling with people who think they’re royalty.
The dying media want to portray Padilla like a victim of abuse because it feeds into their manufactured narrative that the Trump administration is hurting innocent people, even U.S. senators, in the process of enforcing immigration law. (As an update to the stupid incident, The New York Times ran the headline “Padilla’s scuffle stirs painful memories of a childhood spent proving his worth.”) It’s another lie.
I don’t care whether you’re a red-blooded American patriot or a far-left illegal Mexican activist, show some respect and iron your flags. //
Aside from being made from cheap, undoubtedly Chinese-produced polyester, eagle-eyed observers may have noticed that these protest flags have something else in common: Almost all of them are unironed.
In video after video, in picture after picture, we’ve been bombarded by images of rioters taking to the streets, destroying public property, and waving around unironed flags to show their true allegiance. //
If the rioters and activists really cared about their Mexican heritage or the illegal aliens they’re trying to protect, they’d take the time to iron out the unsightly creases in the symbol of their resistance. They can’t show respect to their own home country’s flag, so we can’t expect them to show respect to ours, and that’s reason enough to send them back.
We know that an organized network of far-left groups coordinates organized agitation against ICE and President Donald Trump’s immigration policies. As The Federalist’s Matt Kittle reported this week, groups like the Fair Immigration Reform Movement (FIRM) and Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights (CHIRLA) undermine law enforcement and spread lies about the administration’s efforts in an attempt to incite protests. Many of these groups have received considerable public funding.
