quotation: “how sharper than a serpent’s tooth …”
How sharper than a serpent’s tooth it is
William Shakespeare, King Lear (1608), Act I, scene 4, line 310 – https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Gratitude
To have a thankless child.How sharper than a serpent’s tooth
Judith Rich Harris, The Nurture Assumption, chapter 15, p. 330 – written in response to Philip Larkin’s poem “This Be The Verse“
To hear your child make such a fuss.
It isn’t fair —it’s not the truth—
He’s fucked up, yes, but not by us.I came across this quotation in this novel:

- C:\Program Files\Emacs\x86_64\share\emacs\VER\README.W32 – read it! for serious!
- C:\Program Files\Emacs\x86_64\bin\ – where the utilities are located
- https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/emacs/windows/
- https://ftpmirror.gnu.org/emacs/
I use to download and install emacs-VER-x86_64.zip , it contains “a large number of optional dependencies for Emacs” – maybe you want to install that into c:\opt\emacs-VER\.
emacs-VER-installer.exe – a Windows installer – installs into C:\Program Files\Emacs\ .
Utilities described in the README.32 – read their entries (!):
- addpm.exe
- runemacs.exe

Linux: extending the capacity of a filesystem
- https://learning.oreilly.com/library/view/centos-7-linux/9781785887284/ch05s06.html#ch05lvl2sec149 – context: XFS, LVM
- https://learning.oreilly.com/library/view/linux-powerful-server/9781788293778/ch19s06.html#ch05lvl2sec0151 (by the same authors)
In 2022 it looks a little unreasonable to not use LVM but only partitions.
Resizing a filesystem on a partition (as opposed to on an LVM volume) should only be done, if / as long as the filesystem is not mounted on that partition.
- https://linuxconfig.org/how-to-resize-ext4-root-partition-live-without-umount – “Resizing any live partition without unmout comes with a tremendous risk of loosing data thus it is not recommended. If you a have a sensitive data stored on your system, it is always recommended to take the system down make a backup and resize the partition while it is not mounted.“
