My client asked me to do a website where a user can enter a path on the machine, PHP should scan the path and load all the media files in the directory and subdirectories.

Why does posh fail to perform pathname expansion when a part of the path is specified within double-quotes?
Consider the following simple shell script: I get the expected output with bash, ksh, zsh and dash, but I don’t get it with posh: I am trying to understand if the behaviour of posh is correct as per the POSIX standard or if it is a bug. The relevant section in the POSIX documents seem to be “2.6 W…

How to configure Java 7 OR Java 8 dependency in Debian deb package?
I am building a Debian *.deb package for our proprietary software. The software is Java based, so I thought it would be good if the deb package checks for an installed Java package first.

In Debian, where in the filesystem would a daemon provide dynamic measurement results?
For a diploma thesis, I am developing a Linux daemon that runs on Debian and is also Debian-packaged for easy administration. It reads various measurement results via I²C. The results shall be shown on a website. In Debian, where in the filesystem would a daemon output such measurement data to be updated regu…
