If you want to add ignored files in Pastic SCM, there is no --force option like for instance git has. The only way is to:
- edit the
ignore.conf file so the affected files are not ignored any more
- add the affected files
- undo the
ignore.conf change
- check-in the changes

For a keyboard-less Raspberry Pi machine that functions as a read-only screen, I needed:
- automatic logon
- remote VNC accessibility
- no screen blanking
I already had the E20 ([WayBack] Enlightenment) X11 server running as that’s the first image on [WayBack] HCL:Raspberry Pi3 – openSUSE that as a graphical UI that works.

[WayBack] macos – El Capitan /private/var/folders cache files consuming 30–40 GB – Ask Different
TL;DR: a reboot will usually clean up most of the chaches and yes you can remove those caches by hand after closing the applications involved.

Enabling stack traces in Delphi: [WayBack] Getting started · MahdiSafsafi/DebugEngine Wiki · GitHub:
Using DebugEngine stack trace when error occurs:
All what you need to do is to include DebugEngine.HookException unit into your project. And each time an error occurs, you will be able to get the stack trace from the point where the error occurred.
uses
DebugEngine.HookException;
{...}
procedure Foo;
begin
try
DoSomething;
except
on E: Exception do
ShowMessage(E.StackTrace);
end;
end;
You can get similar functionality with JCL.
Via [WayBack] Why Delphi (like other developer environments) natively not included full call stack for every exception? Or if this is possible, please tell me how (wi… – Jacek Laskowski – Google+

Having mainly used ssh as a means to connect to a shell on remote machines and occasionally a manual port forward.
I never noticed autossh where you can automate the ssh logon process to keep permanent port forwards up and running. Cool!
It’s on my research list now, as this will be useful probably sooner than later:
My initial impression is that autossh is a wrapper around the regular ssh client that allows reconnection upon communication failures.

Still an interesting thought: [WayBack] Maybe we need a vote here but personally I’d like the next update from Emb to NOT contain any new features at all – just a huge bundle of bug fixes. We… – Chris Pimlott – Google+.
Especially the comments in it are well worth re-reading.
By now a new Delphi version should have been out, so I am curious how the balance between bug fixes and new features was.
Edit: Fixed bugs are features, so in my opinion Embarcadero should release only bug-fix updates and upgrades for at least two years.

Problem with new features is that they usually come with new bugs. Therefore new features take away developer capacity from fixing old bugs twice.
