The option -t random specifies that "the block should be filled with a

Does it make up a random disk block and write that to the whole disk?
Or does each block ge

Now the wifi access point at home is a bit flaky. Every now and then we
have to reset it.
I run jessie on my laptop, and upgrade it every few days, so it's
reasonably up-to-date. The laptop is an ASUS 1000H (or HE? I forget) --
the first of the EEEPC's that was completely Linux-compatible wit

Thanks. Maybe I will. But in the meantime I managed to get it up again
using rfkill, so I have a chance to think a bit more before acting.

There are lots of .dotfiles cluttering my home directory.
No doubt some of them are useful.
Many, though, are probably remnants of packages of years past -- packages
I installed long ago, no longer need, and have removed.
Is there any way of identifying which packages are using which dotfiles?
What is the recommended way to set up part of a USB volume as an
encrypted volume, so that I can back up those few of my files that
actually contain secrets?
This is not a backup over the net. I have no need to encrypt the data
transmission.
I already back up the bulk of my files transparentl

No, they don't. That, of course, is part of the problem.
But it would be useful if packages were to have a standard format for
declaring what dotfiles the package is in charge of. Much like the way

Starting a few months ago, on my wheezy systems (all of them) the colours
of the normal shell window have changed to unusable -- black foreground
on black background.
It's easy enough to fix, by editing preferences, but I really wonder
what's going on.
It happens anew with each user, the first

The other point about browsers is that when I look at my home directory
with firefox, the dotfiles take up most of the visual space.

It's convenient that I can get the top icon bar to minimize until the
mouse pointer reached it; I have a small screen. It's occasionally
convenient to be able to left-click on the little handle at the left and
move it elsewhere by moving the pointer while holding the
