tor may need CAP_DAC_READ_SEARCH

Hmm. It seems tor in CentOS7 needs an additional CAP_DAC_READ_SEARCH in the CapabilityBoundingSet of the systemd service, in case a hidden service is going to be used :-/

i3 brightness

if brightness settings work in xfce (xfce4-power-manager in fedora20) but not in i3, then you may want to use its /usr/sbin/xfpm-power-backlight-helper:

bin/brightness:

#! /bin/sh
if test "x`basename $0`" = 'xbrightness'; then
echo "don't use me directly"
exit 1
fi
CUR=`pkexec /usr/sbin/xfpm-power-backlight-helper --get-brightness`
MAX=`pkexec /usr/sbin/xfpm-power-backlight-helper --get-max-brightness`
STEP=`expr $MAX / 20`

bin/brightness+:

#! /bin/sh
DIRNAME=`dirname $0`
. "$DIRNAME/brightness"
NEW=`expr $CUR + $STEP`
if test $NEW -gt $MAX; then
        NEW=$MAX
fi
pkexec /usr/sbin/xfpm-power-backlight-helper --set-brightness $NEW

bin/brightness-:

#! /bin/sh
DIRNAME=`dirname $0`
. "$DIRNAME/brightness"
NEW=`expr $CUR - $STEP`
if test $NEW -lt 0; then
        NEW=0
fi
pkexec /usr/sbin/xfpm-power-backlight-helper --set-brightness $NEW

assigning these scripts to i3 keys is documented everywhere:

easter egg in soly ericsson xperia mini pro (sk17i)?

tripple tap (fast) within 'Settings / About phone' on 'Android version' (2.3.3). this brings up (at least on my phone) a strange picture which is labeled as 'Zombie art by Jack Larson'.

the tripple tap does not work always …

Solaris10u8 on Ultra2/UltraSparcI

suprisingly this works: use an UltraSparcII CPU and jumpstart (boot net) to install. add the UltraSparc CPU driver in the custom (press F4) settings of the software installation (not 100% sure, if you actually need this). after all, replace the UltraSparcII CPU with the original UltraSparcI and enjoy.
