hostname --all-fqdns on a shared server

Everything is working fine. But just out of curiosity I did

ssh jidanni.org hostname --all-fqdns

and it showed a lot of domains, all except my jidanni.org . Why?

Hmmm, mine is just a static website. Perhaps theirs have additional items activated.

How to get notices in other terminals besides penguin?

If I open the penguin terminal, I see

NOTICE:
    Recently it has become necessary to deprecate some features of crostini,

But if I open different terminals I miss the message.

What do I put in my .bashrc etc. to ensure I see the message, in case I have fallen in love with a different terminal and not opened penguin terminal for months?

How to unbind a "dangerous" key?

How do I unbind "Select All" (Ctrl+Shift+A)? I'll just select with the mouse. Thank you very much. I didn't find the configuration files often mentioned here. I'm on linux on a chromebook.

How to control widths of <ul>s to keep them off the background images?

In this other file I used 46 <br>s because I couldn't figure out how to otherwise control the lengths of my <li>s to keep them off my background pictures.

What might I add to a <section style= to control the width of the <ul> there, that actually works? I'm OK with adding a manual %, as these are background images, not foreground images, so I don't expect I could even have the % computed for me.

How to combine two CSS "content" strings that have different styles?

How do I append two CSS strings here?

<style type="text/css">
   ul li:first-child::before {
     {content: 'X'; color:white; background-color:black;}
     {content: 'Y'; color:black; background-color:white;}
   }
</style>

I want to append them, not override the first.
I want a white X, followed by a black Y.

Drycleaners smell like mangoes

Ever since the 1960s, when I walk past some dry cleaning shops, I detect one component of the smell of ripe mangoes. However they may have been steam cleaners or other laundry shops.

Has anyone ever invented a coordinate "method" like this? X, Y and Z all-non overlapping, so 1122, 15, 350 no matter how you order them, still all mean floor 15, house 1122, road 350. (Or floor 15, house 350, road 1122, which would be in the same spot.) Am I the first to invent this? Seems that a town using it would have less emergency dispatch errors, and it would still work without a cell phone unlike "Plus Codes", at least in gridded cities.

Yes I put lots of labels on each graticule. One label would have been enough.
