Anyway I look at it, what Bleachbit does in my Linux-Distro, it comes close to be an illusion. Looking closely what in cleans up, I have to double my efforts to wipe out some files, that

1st-> there is no need for them at all
2nd-> they pile up to a huge amount of thumbnails.png, these very tiny files with a long alphanumerical name, the size of 12 bytes
3rd-> in both cases, at first, I had installed chromium, that keeps all the stuff to remember as well.
4th-> I am doing all this to keep a little bit under the radar, not to be exposed in all detail.

So this draft above, may radical or not, is simply intended to a installation only containing Firefox on your system. At a first glance you might think, well I use FF, but while you installed (at least BSD 10.2 ongoing) the internet role, there is chromium doing a backup job in the dark. So having it simple, only Firefox, the draft mentioned above comes close to the point. So it may looks a bit radical, but it comes closer to the KISS rule, not to make too complex. I see this as well on an USB-stick, going from one BSD to Linux, there is always a second hidden /.Trash file. In both cases I am obliged to trash the trash, that is hidden. Well played, really. For me this seems to be a kind of surveillance, thats my humble opinion.

5th-> looking it up in a linux distro with systemd and finding something like this, I certainly do not need, nor do developers.
Code:
systemd-private-94730452b0264066b98697d490ce5998-rtkit-daemon.service-EHoeHd

. That can be found in the users
Code:
/var/tmp

containing nothing at all! So whats the matter with that golden rule of Keep it simple s.....????
I put loads of the /var/tmp files into the bin, they don't make sense at all. And doing so, this very procedure does not hamper at all, the Firefox or the stability of my distro.

This link posted here, it could matter to anyone, who may does not care at all. But to cut a long story short, my aim was to clean up the loads of tiny thumbnails, that amount to huge numbers after a certain time, including to club my own bookmarks.
The link mentioned above is more interesting for any who exchanges, sends or recieves images. It is about including some java source code in the alpha channel of that very image to be executed while watching some cute dogs or any other.

Sum the fields with 6 decimal places - getting only 2 decimal places as output

I used the below script to Sum up a field in a file based on some unique values. But the problem is when it is summing up the units, it is truncating to 2 decimals and not 6 decimals as in the input file (Input file has the units with up to 6 Decimals – Sample data below, when the units in the 2...

NAME

       git-web--browse - Git helper script to launch a web browser

SYNOPSIS

       git web--browse [OPTIONS] URL/FILE ...

DESCRIPTION

       This script tries, as much as possible, to display the URLs and FILEs that are passed as arguments, as HTML pages in new tabs on an already
       opened web browser.

       The following browsers (or commands) are currently supported:

       o   firefox (this is the default under X Window when not using KDE)

       o   iceweasel

       o   seamonkey

       o   iceape

       o   chromium (also supported as chromium-browser)

       o   google-chrome (also supported as chrome)

       o   konqueror (this is the default under KDE, see Note about konqueror below)

       o   opera

       o   w3m (this is the default outside graphical environments)

       o   elinks

       o   links

       o   lynx

       o   dillo

       o   open (this is the default under Mac OS X GUI)

       o   start (this is the default under MinGW)

       o   cygstart (this is the default under Cygwin)

       o   xdg-open

       Custom commands may also be specified.

OPTIONS

       -b <browser>, --browser=<browser>
	   Use the specified browser. It must be in the list of supported browsers.

       -t <browser>, --tool=<browser>
	   Same as above.

       -c <conf.var>, --config=<conf.var>
	   CONF.VAR is looked up in the Git config files. If it's set, then its value specifies the browser that should be used.

CONFIGURATION VARIABLES

   CONF.VAR (from -c option) and web.browser
       The web browser can be specified using a configuration variable passed with the -c (or --config) command line option, or the web.browser
       configuration variable if the former is not used.

   browser.<tool>.path
       You can explicitly provide a full path to your preferred browser by setting the configuration variable browser.<tool>.path. For example,
       you can configure the absolute path to firefox by setting browser.firefox.path. Otherwise, git web--browse assumes the tool is available in
       PATH.

   browser.<tool>.cmd
       When the browser, specified by options or configuration variables, is not among the supported ones, then the corresponding
       browser.<tool>.cmd configuration variable will be looked up. If this variable exists then git web--browse will treat the specified tool as
       a custom command and will use a shell eval to run the command with the URLs passed as arguments.

NOTE ABOUT KONQUEROR

       When konqueror is specified by a command line option or a configuration variable, we launch kfmclient to try to open the HTML man page on
       an already opened konqueror in a new tab if possible.

       For consistency, we also try such a trick if browser.konqueror.path is set to something like A_PATH_TO/konqueror. That means we will try to
       launch A_PATH_TO/kfmclient instead.

       If you really want to use konqueror, then you can use something like the following:

		   [web]
			   browser = konq

		   [browser "konq"]
			   cmd = A_PATH_TO/konqueror

   Note about git-config --global
       Note that these configuration variables should probably be set using the --global flag, for example like this:

	   $ git config --global web.browser firefox

       as they are probably more user specific than repository specific. See git-config(1) for more information about this.
