These things are like corporate things and many corporate software use old version of software

My advice is to stick to a popular and well known general purpose distro. Even though I have never tried Pop os myself I would recommend it over that Brazzite thing (which has a very similar name to that one very popular video streaming site if you know) because I have heard good things about Pop os.

The best way is to use a program called filezilla with sftp

Furry Phone yay

I would assume they would be busy solving Integrals not this

I love the journalism on that site, pretty direct

Cant do if you never try

You are right, I wanted to do some nodejs and realized that the package in the repo was Node version 12.something while latest node is version 20.something.

Also they still ship Python 3.10 which is ancient technology by today's standard, luckily nothing major is added between 3.10 and 3.12

Their mirrors are worst, ALL OF SELECTABLE OPTIONS FROM MIRROR SELECTOR which shows up at 47 KB/sec which just hurts your area spanning from asshole to large intestines.

I use bridgetide linux mint mirror btw

So why am I not switching?

Here is why: Linux mint is based on Ubuntu meaning that you can add Ubuntu repos or ppas or whatever they need directly into Linux Mint and dont have to worry about it breaking.

Say that you need to have some software for a reason and you cannot find one in Flatpak or an appimage, etc. You will be happy to realize that many of these software are built for Ubuntu and provide their deb package with own repo with updates.

I run Linux Mint 21.3 and that means I can just use a program built for Ubuntu Jammy as Linux Mint Virginia is based on Ubuntu Jammy. If I need to install something out of repo, I can just go and install Ubuntu jammy deb package and it will work normally.

I used to enjoy Arch when I was 16 maby

Yes, thats the best option but MEGA is still better than Google.

Chrome does not do it either but are we supposed to be the ones that start a new trend or the ones that follow the trend?

I made a post into their feature request section about how important it is for privacy and security. It is perfectly possible to do but they are not interested in doing.

What I asked was that they provide a feature that allows users to opt in to encrypt all browsing data including history, passwords, cookies, etc. With this feature I can only access my browser information after I open up Firefox and provide my encryption password.

How would this help? Well, there could be viruses that can read Firefox browsing history and cookies and send that to the server. With this feature enabled, one can be even more safer.

There is an option to encrypt Passwords. Thats not enough, every other piece of browsing data should also be encrypted.

 

All the incognito browser windows share the same "session" in Firefox. So say you open an Incognito window to browse Facebook or something, then you open another Incognito window, this new incognito window is linked to the previous incognito window, meaning you are logged into Facebook at that new Incognito window as well. This is because, as I explained before, all the incognito windows share the same "session"

The only way to clear incognito window is to close ALL of them and then create a new incognito window. You dont have to close the main non incognito Firefox window though, just close all the incognito windows. Then open a new one, now your previous session is destroyed and you are new again.

You may know it but its not that common knowledge as it should have been

 

Why use .js extension if it does not even support what Javascript is supposed to support. Here is my user.js file that does not work in Firefox: https://pastebin.com/QZXL0YJp

However the following works: https://pastebin.com/xEjh7g9U

I wonder why not implement a full Javascript engine to read in those configuration files, it kind of sucks to keep on typing user_pref( in every line when one could put all the configs in a list and loop over it and use user_pref() to apply them.

 

There is a secret easter egg where you can activate a virtual cat on a linux or a UNIX system. Though it is reported that it can hang your system in certain distros so it is best advised you save and close all your work and so on before attempting because if things go wrong, you may be forced to pull out the power plug.

To summon the cat, try the following command:

meow() { meow | meow & }; meow

If you see something like

[1] 583341
[1]+  Done                 meow|meow

Quickly up arrow and rerun the command untill you see no output. And after a few seconds the cat will appear on the screen that follows your mouse pointer. Very cute.

Update: This also works in Windows with GitBash

 

It is important to note that Free Download Manager is not malware, but there was a malicious linux package that impersonated Free Download Manager.

 

Dont use Reddit username or Facebook username or anything like that even if it could be cool. That way you dont have to worry even if some log file or error stack trace recorded your username.

The upvote and downvote counter both should have been positive no? How is it negative in this case?

I am not making a huge fuss about this very tiny of a tiny glitch. But I feel like this can become something much more serious if unknown.

 

The ONLY one that works is Raspberry pi os Legacy available from the rpi flasher. What other OS would work?

 

About TV

Company: Daewoo DC

Purchase date: Last 15 years, and the most modern of its time

Size: 24 inch

Interface: Has Audio-Video port

[Other than that, its just a radioactive box, weird signal goes in, video comes out]

About Raspberry pi

Model: Raspberry Pi 4B (4GB RAM)

OS: Raspberrypi OS

Situation

Its not cabling thats the issue. The TV shows visual but the graphics is very hazy and blurry. I suppose it has something to do with either the frame rate made for digital monitors being too high for the TV or the video resolution being too unbarable.

I have used CRT computer monitors but they used VGA. In those monitors, I used to set resolution to 800x600px and it would show the clearest. CRT monitors dont have this concept of pixels, yet setting pixels to 800x600 does the job in VGA CRT monitors. It did not work in case of my TV.

I should mention that the device I purchased to convert HDMI to Audio Video has a toggleable switch that can be changed to NTSC or PAL. I dont know what that is, both works but setting to PAL seems to be slightly clearer.

I am asking here in hopes someone else has done it and how they made it barable.

[Also I am sorry I do not understand the language that is mostly used here. This community seems to be the most active one so I decided to ask for help here]

I run Windows 10 and I have never done anything with Profiles at all. I am completely new.

When I go to about:profiles I see three Enteries,

  • Profile: default-release
  • Profile: default
  • Profile: dev-edition-default

Of which default-release seems to be default. Indicated by Default Profile: yes

First off, why are there 3 profiles if I never created one?

In Each profile, there is Root Directory and Local Directory which point to the same directory in all 3 cases. What are the differences?
