A problem with ICMP can be that you if you allow File and Printer Sharing, that ICMPv4 and ICMPv6 for both Private and Public networks are only allowed for the Local subnet.
For Domain networks, however it is allowed for Any subnet.
You can see the difference in this picture:
The solution presented at [WayBack] Nobody Can Ping My Computer – Technet MSDN library is to add a less restrictive set of rules:
- In the Windows Firewall with Advanced Security snap-in, click Inbound Rules in the tree, and click New Rule in the Actions Pane.
- Click Custom and click Next.
- Click All programs and click Next.
- For Protocol type, select ICMPv4.
- Click Customize for Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) settings.
- Click Echo Request, click OK, and then click Next.
- Under Which local IP address does this rule match? and for Which remote IP address does this rule match click either Any IP address or These IP Addresses. If you click These IP addresses, specify the IP addresses and click Add, then click Next.
- Click Allow the connection, and then click Next.
- Under When does this rule apply?, click the active profile, any or all profiles (Domain, Private, Public) to which you want this rule to apply, and then click Next.
- For Name type a name for this rule and for Description an optional description. Click Finish.
- Repeat steps for ICMPv6, selecting ICMPv6 for Protocol Type instead of ICMPv4.
You can also add these rules using the netsh advfirewall command as shown at [WayBack] How to Allow Pings (ICMP Echo Requests) Through Your Windows Firewall

Via [WayBack] ms office – Keyboard shortcut to select all text in a cell in Excel – Ask Different a few keyboard tips.
Lets start with the shortest one:
- Put the focus on the cell (click, use arrow keys, etc)
- Press space
- Press
Command–Z or Control–Z to undo the change
This probably is unintended, but works great: all text is now selected, so you can copy/cut with Command-C/Command–X.
Now the “official” way:
- Put the focus on the cell (click, use arrow keys, etc)
- Press
Control–U or F2 to edit the cell (the cursor is now at the end)
- Press
Shift–Alt–Home or Shift–Control–Home (to select all text)
note: Home can also be Fn–Left.
Other selections you can make while the cell is in edit mode:
- Press
Shift–Alt–End or Shift–Control–End (to select to the end of the cell)
note: End can also be Fn–Right.
- Press
Shift–Alt–Right or Shift–Control–Right (to select one word to the right)
- Press
Shift–Alt–Left or Shift–Control–Left (to select one word to the left)
- Press
Shift–Alt–Down or Shift–Control–Down (to select to the same position on the line below)
- Press
Shift–Alt–Up or Shift–Control–Up (to select to the same position on the line up)
Keyboard symbols (more at [WayBack] Command, Option, & Shift Symbols in Unicode):
⇧ – Shift^ – Control⌥ – Alt which is the same as Option⌘ – CommandFn – Function

It was fun while it lasted: [WayBack] Did Apple remove dashboard in MacOS Catalina? – Appleosophy
I especially like the iStat Pro (though unsupported) widget, and that you can have a dashboard without the need to go on-line.

If might be that Übersicht can help me, but I am not sure yet if there is a good iStat Pro equivalent for it.
Future links to investigate:

`ls` colour codes
I got confused as I thought red text would mean an error.
But they’re not: greenish yellow on a read background means error (a symbolic link to a place that’s no longer there).
It’s the output of https://github.com/gkotian/gautam_linux/blob/master/scripts/colours.sh as the one at
Actually the script is here https://raw.githubusercontent.com/gkotian/gautam_linux/master/scripts/colours.sh as the one at [WayBack] command line – What do the different colors mean in the terminal? – Ask Ubuntu failed with errors like this one:
-bash: *.xbm: bad substitution
The full script output is below.
Since various terminals have a different mapping from colours in the ANSI escape code colour table, I used the standard HTML colours using (which slightly differs from the Terminal.app screenshot on the right):
References:
Note that the shell on Mac OS X uses a different way of configuring colours CLICOLOR as described in [WayBack] settings – CLICOLOR and LS_COLORS in bash – Unix & Linux Stack Exchange. I might cover that another day.

Reminder to re-read [WayBack] I am looking for a good replacement for INI files for storing large / complex configuration. So far I have used JvApplicatoinIniStorage + a custom INI f… – Thomas Mueller (dummzeuch) – Google+
INI files are textual and allow for comments. They are not good at large bits of information, and are hard to compare because the order is unimportant.
Alternatives like JSON or DFM have similar limitations.
XML is too chatty, and hard to get right by humans.
