A simple question but can't find answer in documentation. I need to put an entry into ~/emacs.d/diary for second Thursday of every month.

#3 Desktop and Multimedia » Firefox outdated » 2020-10-02 12:54:15

I do online banking, and my bank now rejects my firefox (firefox-esr, basilisk, tor-browser).  When I use Basilisk, it says my Firefox 68.9 is out of date.
When I run Firefox-esr it says I'm running version 68.0. I don't have the problem with tor-browser, but its painfully slow.

While it recommends Chrome I don't want to use it, and its version may again be rejected. Is there any way I can configure Firefox to lie about its
version?

#4 Other Issues » Delete a file with corrupted attributes » 2020-09-05 16:44:44

I have a situation in which a directory cannot be deleted  because it is read only. However the ls -la command run on it returns:

    d????????? ? ?    ?        ?            ? install-tl-20180702

If I run ls on it I get:

    ls: cannot access 'install-tl-20180702': Input/output error

So the file has neither ownership nor permissions. 

Tried to remount as rw and run chmod 600 on it, but cannot do so because the file is "read only".

Is zeroing the partition the only way to get rid of these fossils?

I put ascii on new hardware, but can't get mutt to send mail. Mail sent out has "Return-path: <>" in header.

The /etc/hosts, /etc/resolv.conf/etc/hostname, and emacs4 configuration are the same as they were under Devuan jessie except for the change in hostname.

When I do $ hostname --fqdn on both machines I get a proper fully qualified domain name. But when I do $ hostname -A, I get simply  the hostname of current machine without provider's domain, but on old machine it returned hostname.frontier.com .
