Yeah, I think that was it. I also played a heck of a lot of sudoku on it.

That's awesome, I had an iRiver as well. Ended up putting custom firmware on it after a bit as the original firmware was buggy at times and lacked features. The device itself was surprisingly capable and could even play video.

I had that very device right about 2002. Put my whole CD collection on a few mp3 disks. Replaced it a few years later with a 6GB mp3 player.

I'n Windows it is not stored in a keyring but instead in the registry. This has basically the same security threat model as a local key file.

The ssh-agent on Linux will do what you want with effectively the same security. The biggest difference being that it doesn't run as a system service but instead runs in userspace which can make it easier to dump memory. There are some other agent services out there with additional security options but they don't change the threat model much.

Initrd contains the systemd binary and enough libraries, services, and kernel modules to get booted this far. The system failed at switch root which is where the real root disk is mounted. Initrd can contain as much or as little as needed to get a working system which can be a lot of you are using a network filesystem as a root for instance.

My memory of the cp command is that attributes such as file times were transferred at the last step. I think this would make rsync safe in most situations where a system crash wasn't involved.

You can also use o1e as there are never more than a single shared character. It also doesn't change the string size so it can be done in place. Still an ugly hack of a solution.

You don't need to use big-O. You can calculate the full complexity in algebraic notation. It's just a lot more work as you don't get to discard terms.

I think I remember running into that as well but for whatever reason I couldn't get accelerated-x working with the opengl libraries I was using for school. Likely the issue was just a lack of understanding on my part as I don't think I had a good grasp of the Linux library loader until well after I graduated.

I've had a system in the late 90s with a 3dfx voodoo card. Also had a laptop with a SIS card from the early 2000 era.

The voodoo card was THE card to have it it's day (mine was an older second hand system though). The SIS card... for some reason they decided that standard VESA mode probing wasn't a thing they supported and would hardware crash when that API was used. I eventually got it working in Linux after patching xfree86 to not attempt probing when loading the VESA driver.

You may want to try hotter too if you haven't yet. Printing faster can sometimes require a bit of extra heat and too low can cause a different kind of stringing.

The plastic and wire twist ties that come on cables would work too.
