I wasn’t expecting it to be so easy to install PowerShell on Mac OS X:
brew install Caskroom/cask/powershell
In the background it executes this script: https://github.com/caskroom/homebrew-cask/blob/master/Casks/powershell.rb. which indirectly goes through the URL template https://github.com/PowerShell/PowerShell/releases/download/v#{version}/powershell-#{version}.pkg.
On other non-Windows systems, you have to go through GitHub yourself: https://github.com/powershell/PowerShell. The PowerShell team at Microsoft has many more repositories including the Win32-OpenSSH port which you can find through https://github.com/PowerShell.
At the time of writing, PowerShell was available for these platforms:
The first version I installed on Mac OS X was this: ==> Downloading https://github.com/PowerShell/PowerShell/releases/download/v6.0.0-alpha.17/powershell-6.0.0-alpha.17.pkg
By now I really hope it is out of Alpha state.

People are (rightfully) freaking out about their privacy as the Senate voted to let internet providers share your private data with advertisers. While it’s important to protect your privacy,…
Interesting: easy setup allows for creating disposable VPN servers.

Everytime a btrfs based volume runs out of space, I’m reminded of these:
There are a few scripts that help you assess quota usage. If you think they are wrong, then you need to btrfs quota rescan / which tells you that it started, but won’t tell when it’s finished (nor wil journalctl -xe a.k.a. journalctl --catalog --pager-end), but dmesg does:
# dmesg | grep qgroup
[ 316.608122] BTRFS info (device sda2): qgroup scan completed (inconsistency flag cleared)
For now I’ve this quick script to start investigation:
~/Versioned/btrfs-du/btrfs-du && df -h | grep "\/$\|^[^\/]" && btrfs quota rescan -s /
It assumes there is quota on the root (enable with btrfs quota enable /) and is based on my fork github.com/jpluimers/btrfs-du. The df will limit itself to the root (trailing / matched by \/$) or disks not mounted from / (matched by ^[^\/]).

Since Mediawiki needs an extension to display Markdown, and many MediaWiki installations do not have that extension, I was looking for an online conversion from markdown to MediaWiki markup.
Luckily the Pandoc try has this conversion: [WayBack] Try pandoc! Markdown(pandoc) -> MediaWiki
These links helped me get there:

Problem:
6 unlabeled buttons: I can not force the input to display port and monitor is searching other ports when host is sleeping. Getting no output when I wake up the host. 😞
Btw, this is for an Acer B326HK monitor. Other than issues with the UI, seems like a decent 4k monitor.
Solution:
my mistake was to use Display Port (Choice was DP or DVI) and the workaround is to disable power state changes on Display Port with something like “xset -dpms“
