How do I enable dark mode in the caja file manager? The colors menu doesn't work on the navigation bars.
Need help with `most`.

Why is the default value for sysrq set to 176 on Ubuntu?
Why is the default value 176? I initially thought it might have to do with not allowing anything particularly impactful but the 8th bit (0x80) is set which allows to shut down. Why not just allow everything listed here?

Naming Bash scripts
I have a couple bash scripts that I’ve written and been using but some need a rename, and once I came across an online list of shell scripts that you could compare against to make sure your name isn’t already “taken” by something that someone could have installed to minimize the chance of conflicts with scripts/aliases....
