- go to control panel | display
- change the screen resolution. the artifact will go away
- click on cancel when windows asks you if you want to keep the new resolution.
this works on laptops too.

Booting the VM gave this in the log:
# btrfs balance /
WARNING:
Full balance without filters requested. This operation is very
intense and takes potentially very long. It is recommended to
use the balance filters to narrow down the scope of balance.
Use 'btrfs balance start --full-balance' option to skip this
warning. The operation will start in 10 seconds.
Use Ctrl-C to stop it.

The interesting question a while back [WayBack] The Initialization-Block of a unit that is part of a package. Is it run as part of DLLMain? – Alexander Benikowski – Google+ has a simple TL;DR answer: “it depends” on the actual usage of those units.
Way more elaborate, as I dislike language stuff that you need to track down by trial and error what is actually used:
Well, seems so(in our case). Rootcall which triggers the initialization is:
ntdll.ldrLoadDLL
I did not mention, that the BPL is used by a DLL(DLL links against package) which means the package is loaded/initialized by the Os when theDLLMainruns. Odd combination but that seems to be the culprit here.David Heffernan
Yes, it is triggered fromDllMain. And yes, this has massive consequences for what can and cannot be done in initialization sections.Alexander Benikowski
+David Heffernan in my case. When a packages unit is already initialized by being used from an Exe(which links to the Package), it is not from within aDLLMain.
In my case, both the Application and the dll it loads, both link to the same package. But the unit in question is unused until the DLL is loaded.Uwe Raabe
The docs forInitializePackagesay it calls theinitializationparts of all contained units in the package – not only the used ones.David Heffernan
+Alexander Benikowski In that scenario we have load time linking and I guess the package framework handles it differently.David Millington
Related: don’t forget thatclassconstructors anddestructors effectively run in theinitializationandfinalizationsections too. Restrictions or side effects apply there too. docwiki.embarcadero.com – Methods (Delphi) – RAD StudioStefan Glienke
+Uwe Raabe Which is not being done when you use it as runtime package. Only initialization sections from unit being used are being run. This caused us several problems in the past where 2 modules (A being the host application exe and B being some DLL that gets loaded at a later point via LoadLibrary) were using a runtime package but only B used a particular unit from the package which caused the initialization code for that unit being executed when B was loaded and hence being executed in the context of thedllmainof B.The usual solution is then to put those units into some dummy unit forcing the initialization of that unit to be run in A.
Another solution according to your statement could be to call
InitializePackageon all the used runtime packages – and there the question is: couldn’t the RTL do that somehow?+Stefan Glienke I am not sure if that is desirable when done unconditionally. Even when compiled with packages I wouldn’t expect units to be initialized which aren’t actually used. That would perhaps change the behavior of the application depending on whether it is compile with runtime packages or without.
The case is different with dynamic loaded packages. The units in there are obviously not directly used in the first place. As no one can know which units of such a package are used or not, initializing all of them seems like a viable decision.
Of course there will be situations where your proposed behavior might come in handy, but I doubt that this will be a fit for all.

To reset Ubuntu Unity or any other Linux desktop with GNOME/MATE DEs to its default settings, run:
dconf reset -f /
Source: [WayBack] Reset Linux Desktop To Default Settings With A Single Command – OSTechNix
I need to check if it works on OpenSuSE with XFCE as there the dconf command is installed, but I still have a default desktop (mainly because most of the work I do is using a terminal over ssh).

One more thing to take away from Procedural Programming: It’s Back? It Never Went Away – Kevlin Henney [ACCU 2018] – YouTube was explained in [WayBack] How to Design Early Returns in C++ (Based on Procedural Programming) – Fluent C++.
Though in C++, it applies to all programming languages that stem from a procedural background (Pascal, C#, Java, golang, to name just a few).
The article is about keeping an if/else-if/else tree, even when they can be removed becomes some of their bodies perform an early return, as
In C++, as well as in other languages, the
returnkeyword has two responsibilities:
- interrupting control flow,
- yielding a value.
It basically comes down to this argument:
Essentially, the argument for Code #1 is that you need to know less to understand the structure of the code.
Indeed, if we fold away the contents of the if statements, Code #1 becomes this:
The structure of the code is very clear. There are 4 different paths based on the
year, they’re independent from each other, and each path will determine the boolean result of the function (if it doesn’t throw an exception).Now let’s see how Code #2 looks like when we fold away the if statements:
And now we know much less. Do the if statements contain a
return? Maybe.Do they depend on each other? Potentially.
Do some of them rely on the last
return falseof the function? Can’t tell.With Code #2, you need to look inside of the if statement to understand the structure of the function. For that reason, Code #1 requires a reader to know less to understand the structure. It gives away information more easily than Code #2.

Steps:
Tools followed by Any Time, then Custom range often does not show a dialog.&tbs=qdr:y to the URL magically enables that popup:This is how I found the post in Did you hear about the man who got cooled to absolute zero? He’s 0K now.
I think cdr stands for custom date range and qdr for a built in date range as after searching for the abbreviations, I found [WayBack] Google Search URL Request Parameters | DETECTED that discusses tbm and tbo in addition to tbs.
The trick above is the successor of [WayBack] Filter Google Results by Date with a URL Trick which appended &as_qdr=d.

[Archive.is] Need to try this: … multiple default index properties having the same name …getters can be overloads … resolve …by type signature … – Thomas Mueller (dummzeuch) – Google+, thanks to marck for this brilliantly simple example:
private function GetColumnValue(const ColumnName: string): string; overload; function GetColumnValue(Index: Integer): string; overload; procedure SetColumnValue(Index: Integer; const Value: string); public property Values[const ColumnName: string]: string read GetColumnValue; default; property Values[ColumnIndex: Integer]: string read GetColumnValue write SetColumnValue; default; end;This means:
- you can have multiple default indexor properties
- the multiple indexor properties can have the same name e.g., Values
- the properties getters can be overloads (i.e. have the same name) e.g., GetColumnValue
- Delphi will resolve the overloads by type signature
