I looked into pipe-viewer a while back but had some problems. Maybe I'll try it again.

This post was intended as info for people who might find their browser performance unexpectedly bad. In this case, it's not your imagination or your system "getting old". It's a real code change that degrades performance.

sudo update-desktop-database
update-desktop-database ~/.local/share/applications/

That should pick up mimetype changes. (Though it should've been already done automatically.)

If that has no effect, you can try to manually set the handler:

xdg-mime default '/home/JnvSor/.local/share/applications/steam.desktop' x-scheme-handler/steam

I don't have answers to your questions beyond this.

That's 2056px not 2560px horizontal. That'll work but it's not the native resolution of the monitor.

Indeed. Thanks. I am was tired and miss out this.

So, both Ati\Radeon and Nvidia have limits 165MHz?
Why this still not fixed at opensource drivers?

If you go to the channel mentioned, all the thumbnails and titles are clickbaity, as seems to be the norm now.

Back on-topic, there was one called "The Truth About Debian and systemd". (pronounces Debian DEE-bee-an). I still couldn't make it very far into it. How can you watch something that is just a collection of cut shots and listen and comprehend the AudIo? I can't. I clicked around in different sections, and Devuan is mentioned several times, and the last section shows the Devuan desktop.

Even though it's only a 9 minute video, that format is just awful.

Why not use their website?

I finally did this today.

My reason for moving to VM was that they paid interest on +ve account balances. Not much, but I was informed that they paid interest on the full balance. Last Wednesday my 1st paper statement arrived and I discovered for the first time that they only paid interest on £1,000 of the balance in the current a/c (this is 101 in winding your customers up).

I phoned up & spoke to Alan (very helpful, although his scottish accent was difficult for me). He said I need to move the excess money into a Saver account to get interest on it.

After Marjorie's message I wanted to discover how to organise online banking. Alan took me through setting it up under Chromium (FireFox is verboten). Reasonably easy, and the mobile is used to obtain a 4-digit code to enter to confirm status (standard practice now, even if Whitehall is trying to kill it).

I would still prefer a dedicated desktop app, which should afford better security.

Hardware is physical elecronics: PCBs, ICs, etc.

Software is, when all is said and done, machine code, 1s and 0s.

To get a basic understanding of firmware, read up on EPROMs and EEPROMs. Nowadays "firmware" can be any number of things e.g. the OS of a printer, TV or network adapter flashed on to some kind of EPROM, but really it's still software. The "firmware image" which is flashed to the chip is a binary and thus software.

Historically, firmware was very simple code, often written in assember, to run with limited resources for a very specific taske - nowadays the Intel Management Engine OS for example, which was found to be based on MINIX 3.0 and a typical UEFI are very large and complex.

Hi mknoop, I did some more digging and discovered that...

Synaptic says I only have dhcpcd-base, not dhcpcd (the available dhcpd is a curious 'variation', so...?)
which dhcpcd-base = nothing (Huh?)
which dhcpcd = yes (Oh!)

... so that cleared up that mis-direction, kinda. Anyhow, I do have dhcpd after all.

As a result of this 'discovery' I have now been able to reconstruct my tethering script using dhcpd, if, ifconfig, & curl, and it's working ok on both the stripped down Daedalus & the full Excalibur OSs, just needing a few more experiments and tweaks to get a reliable working tool.

Thanks for the ideas and nudges guys. :)

TBH I never had problems with Handbrake on other non-Debian based Distros before, I suspect the problems are specific to the Debian package which builds Handbrake differently compared to how the Handbrake devs recommend.

Building your own Handbrake binaries is not difficult it's explained in detail here:
https://handbrake.fr/docs/en/latest/dev … linux.html

~$ LC_ALL=C gio trash /home/rolf/Dokumente/Test.txt
gio: file:///home/rolf/Dokumente/Test.txt: Unable to find or create trash directory /mnt/HomeDaten/.Trash-1000 to trash /home/rolf/Dokumente/Test.txt

A .Trash-1000 did not exist, copying the one from my dynamic home did not help.

Remote systems will need to allow remote access. Changing the port ssh listens on will cut the amount of noise in the logs but doesn't provide much real security. The one I help administer has root logons disabled and the accounts on it have non-obvious names and strong passwords (we normally log on with SSH keys anyway). So an attacker would need to guess both an ID and it's password.

And we have backups so it's not a disaster if it did get hacked.

The Changelog says:

It doesn't mention the CVE number (which IMHO it should have to make it clear that it fixes this CVE) but this security update has been released around the same time of your article so my guess is that it relates to this CVE.

first create the file /etc/sudoers.d/sudo_secure_path with these contents

# sudo secure path configuration
Defaults	secure_path="/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin"

then to set the correct permissions run

sudo chmod 0440 /etc/sudoers.d/sudo_secure_path

One of my machines is running XFCE with a Macos Like look.

One installation even has a Unity inspired look. But that's not for me...

Version 3.3-1 adds to the wrapper script first-run setup to make sure you have the current working soundcard selected in .asoundrc before AlsaTune opens for the first time, a handy GUI window opens with buttons activating the same "Test Tone" and "Soundcard" functions found in the main GUI for you to select and test, and also a "Volumeicon" button to reload the volumeicon applet (used in Vuu-do and some other Openbox distros) after making changes. And lastly a "Done" button to use after all changes have been made, that writes a marker file in ~/.local/share/alsatune to let the wrapper know first-run has already been done so no need for the setup GUI in the future, and then opens AlsaTune for you.
