Seems pretty obvious to me. It was a false claim all along. They actually did: lap1$ ssh lap2 lap2$ hibernate.sh But they SAID they did: lap1$ ssh lap2 hibernate.sh And now they know that these two things are not equivalent, so at least there's one small victory today.

Zsh is much saner: it has .zshenv for the initializations you always want (and it is still good practice to use a test to not have them override a temporary change) and .zshrc for interactive shells where you can put things that will change the behavior, like aliases, and could break scripts.

It gets complicated. This is why I was asking for all the information I was asking for. On most Linux systems, including Debian, bash is built with a compile-time option that makes it try to determine whether it's a child of sshd. If it believes itself to be that, it will source ~/.bashrc even though it's not an interactive shell. A completely vanilla upstream bash, straight from gnu.org, doesn't do that. Here's the option in config-top.h: /* Define this if you want bash to try to check whether it's being run by sshd and source the .bashrc if so (like the rshd behavior). This checks for the presence of SSH_CLIENT or SSH2_CLIENT in the initial environment, which can be fooled under certain not-uncommon circumstances. */ /* #define SSH_SOURCE_BASHRC */ But Debian turns that feature on, so you get: unicorn:~$ echo 'echo this is .bashrc' >> ~/.bashrc unicorn:~$ ssh localhost true greg@localhost's password: this is .bashrc unicorn:~$ If you really are defining your PATH in ~/.bashrc, with LAP2 being a Debian system, and your account's shell being /bin/bash, it's quite surprising that what you're doing isn't working the way you expected. Of course, if you're actually defining PATH in ~/.profile (which is far more sensible in most cases), then it's not a surprise.

If you're using a recent version of macOS, a different method may be required than the one I enumerated, such as employing the "usbmuxd" library to connect your device. It's probably best consulting Apple's official documentation and the developer community for more precise info. Good luck.

That new battery will have a bit more capacity, which in turn may force other older cells into reverse polarity, accelerating the rate of failure of the rest of the cells, with the possibility of starting a fire you can't put out. IOW, don't even consider it. Battery rebuilders with any care for the result, may and should select the cells with a 1 % or so like capacity, meaning your rebuilt battery s/b safe, but may not have the labeled capacity. Does your charger know about the reduced capacity? I would not be surprised if nowadays a laptop battery (at least original one) has a balancing circuit that compensates difference of cells capacity e.g. due to non-uniform degradation. By the way, Ottavio may be right. Some laptops have UEFI settings to maintain battery charge level of approximately 70%. It may mitigate degradation if laptop is mostly working from AC adapter.

Installing Debian11 on Lenovo P1 Gen5
Hello, I am installing Debian 11 (firmware-11.6.0-amd64-DVD-1.iso ) on Lenovo P1 Gen5 laptop, using Lemorele USB-C Hub HDMI 4K@60Hz - USB-C Docking Station. This station has Ethernet RJ45 port with RTL8153 chipset (according to lsusb), that's using Realtek r8152 driver. During installation Ethernet card is recognized, it gets IP address, etc, but once installation is done and I boot into Linux GUI, it does not show any network adapter. I tried loading r8152/cdc_ether/usbnet drivers, but to no avail. If I connect the docking station via USB-C to USB-A adapter on USB-A port, Ethernet card is recognized after installation. At the same time, the docking station works for other activities, like USB drives, monitor/keyboard on USB-A ports, etc. Also, I tried it on another laptop (Dell Latitude 5521) on USB-C port and it's working as expected. Once I managed to install backports kernel (either via USB-A adapter or another USB Ethernet card), the docking station starts working on USB-C port. Can anyone give a clue how to make the Ethernet card work on USB-C without installing the backports kernel? It will be installed eventually, but before this I need network somehow to install and since the WiFi is not working even with backports kernel (that's another story), the only network card that can work is the Realtek one.

My amd64 based router doesn't have microcode in the initramfs but that's OK since microcode is handled by the BIOS (Coreboot). Also I think the microcode's not free to distribute, the CPU on the router is fairly old AMD-for-embedded sort of thing and unfortunately AMD doesn't much care about those. Or cares just enough that some updates have come out for the various security issues of recent years but not enough to make it clear it's free to distribute.
