Sometime in the last few hours, as I checked email this morning, I have been locked out of all my Yahoo Mail accounts. Is this another one of those "configuration changes" that requires messing with server settings? Why wasn't there any notice, if so? Or has Yahoo gotten aggressive about forcing people to use their preferred access methods?

Incoming security issue. A whole new set of attacks has been discovered that can affect nearly any public Wifi network.

I rarely use Wifi at all. But I'm now wondering if Stubby actually works in Devuan 6 yet? Or is it still in 'development'? That's one possible useful defense. Or a full VPN. Which I guess I ought to learn to configure.

Though there are many good things in Linux, not everything is completely/perfectly duplicated from the Windows ecosystem. Nice utilities like IrfanView, for example. In the process of trying to figure out how to move completely to Linux, I am finding an annoying problem. As it currently works, wine makes a completely separate custom installation for each and every Windows program you want to accommodate. Why is this? Some sort of technical limitation? It threatens to make a real mess in the user account if you want to bring over a dozen utilities or more. Why couldn't you have a single 'virtual windows' install with many utilities running in the same directory with the same virtual windows files? (Is this maybe a specialized question for the wine developers? Where could I ask them this question directly?)

My printers are all ancient and suffering various problems. Rather than continue to struggle to keep them running, I am thinking of buying a newer printer. The one I favor, the Brother HL-L2400D is especially appealing for NOT having fancy networking options that just make it hackable. Wifi printers??? No. Just no.

But on researching it, one of the things I have learned is that there is no MacOS driver for this printer. That normally wouldn't be a concern since I don't own Apple hardware, except I thought Apple used the CUPS system like all other *nix based OSes? Do they? How would I check if there is a CUPS driver for this printer before buying one and plugging it into a computer running some flavor of Linux? I would hope there is a reference somewhere that can be checked?

I've setup the Devuan version of Peppermint OS, just to see what it's like. I installed Chrome because it seems to be necessary to access some sites. And when I start Chrome for the first time after a boot it wants a password for a keyring. When I installed Chrome on Devuan with XFCE, it also wanted a keyring and I couldn't get around it and couldn't run Chrome. Had to install with Cinnamon and then it was possible to get Chrome to run. Apparently it was something 'default' to Gnome, which Cinnamon is based on.

It looks like the people who setup Peppermint OS did something different. It is possible to get Chrome to run on XFCE by entering a password for the keyring. What do you suppose they did differently?

Here's a desktop app that doesn't get discussed much!

The default calculator in Daedalus just doesn't work. Any time I start it, it just freezes and I have to kill it. Not a really big deal since I usually install Galculator, and prefer that. But the default app gets launched by default when you push the calculator button on any MS sponsored keyboard. So I've seen it pop up a few times. And been puzzled that it's always unusable.

What could be wrong with it?
