Every time I download Raspbian (last time Raspbian Stretch with Desktop) I try to verify SHA256 but every time the result is different from the one on the website, although I am quite sure the download was successful and without manipulation.



Why is that? Am I calculating in a wrong way?



The last time I generated the sha256 on OSX with the command shasum -a 256 2018-06-27-raspbian-stretch.img

Exact definitions are difficult. [1] In general, though, confectionery is divided into two broad and somewhat overlapping categories, bakers' confections and sugar confections. [2] Bakers' confectionery, also called flour confections , includes principally sweet pastries, cakes, and similar baked goods. Sugar confectionery includes candies ( sweets in British English), candied nuts, chocolates, chewing gum, bubble gum, pastillage, and other confections that are made primarily of sugar. In some cases, chocolate confections (confections made of chocolate) are treated as a separate category, as are sugar-free versions of ...
