Did you try the Palemoon forum? I'll bet moonchild and Tobin would just LOVE to argue with you over whether their browser should support pirated flash videos.

Let me know when you have that argument with them, I'll bring the popcorn and be a spectator.

I backport packages often. I would not be the person who would write a post that says "do not backport". If that's what you get from reading my post, then I would need to re-write it.

No, it wasn't ported, and I'm not really running Beowulf on one, but a unix-like kernel was written in 6502 assembly by the LUnix (Little Unix) project folks between 1993 and 2004. The LUnix home page is still up for anyone wanting to download LUnix and take it for a spin on their favorite Commodore 64 rig: http://lng.sourceforge.net/

That's too bad. I've met people at my church fairly often who are using Linux at work or at home and work. It comes up as I give my adult Sunday School presentations and people see my desktop or my slides in LibreOffice or my video clips in MPV or Parole and ask, "hey, what distro is that?" Usually they'll say they use Mint or Ubuntu, which of course leads to enjoyable conversations about Devuan and systemd.

Glenn MacArthur is the developer behind the AV Linux project, a specialty distro for audiophiles. I got to know him a bit last year when he switched the AV Linux base to MX. He's the lead singer and guitarist in a band called Rated Blue which has a lot of original prog rock and R&B tunes on youtube/yewtu.be, of which "Mesmerized" is my current favorite:  https://yewtu.be/watch?v=znZl9aT7F8U

His catalog is well worth checking out for fans of Zeppelin, Bad Company, etc, and to get a feel for some of the quality of sound that can be produced with a desktop distro.

Are you streaming the videos on wifi? I had wifi related lockups on MX and Devuan, and fixed them by turning off USB Autosuspend in tlpui. Clearly tlp was not playing nice with my wifi card. Just figured I would throw that out there.

If it's not wifi related or some setting in tlp, feel free to share how you are watching the two videos when the lockup happens. I can try to recreate it on my antiX Sid install, maybe we'll find it's some wayward Sid package that's causing the lockups.

Never seen these guys before. The singer has a strong Jim Morrison vibe, doesn't he? Pretty cool stuff. Here's a yewtu.be link for those privacy buffs who don't want to go to youtube: https://yewtu.be/watch?v=Epr4wR-pecU

Sounds like Fedora's new "CoreOS" thingey:

Or maybe I'm way off base.

I'm reading a book about the destruction of Jerusalem in 70 AD by the Roman armies under their commander Titus, son of Vespasian. It is supposedly an eyewitness account by Josephus, who was both a Jerusalem-born Jew and at times employed by the Romans. That's all I was referring to, not to any current conflicts or disputes. I don't watch divisive cable news broadcasts, so three word political memes about 'whom is occupying what' don't hold a lot of meaning for me.

Just thought I would state that for the record, I did not want anyone accusing me of starting a political side thread or doing anything to run this perfectly good book-reading thread off the rails. I appreciate the thread, dice, I hope we all pick up a lot of good book recommendations from it as it goes forward. Brilliant idea.

I think that you are right that it is a ratpoison issue. I just checked and these commands are working on my standard DWM with dmenu when piped through dzen2, especially the forms with  "   " prepended. The tabbed forms "\t" are not as good as they create a space but fill it with a small box.

Another way you can do it is print it with a tab before the output:

$ uname -a | awk '{print substr("\t"$3,1)}'
