Okay...but bear down.
My wife asked, "Our neighbor always hugs and kisses his wife when he leaves for work. Why don't you do that?"
I said, "I don't even know her."
Husbands 4
Wives 2

Okay...
I've gone back (over page 7 of this thread) and counted the number of "jokes" meant to poke fun at husbands or wives. By my count, the jokes meant to poke fun at husbands is three, and the number meant to poke fun at wives is two.
Pokes at husbands: Posts #s 154, 162, and 164
Pokes at wives: Posts # 159 and 161
???
If I've offended people, I apologize...
...but I still think they're funny.
#328 Re: Off-topic » The Joke Thread » 2023-12-28 16:41:30
What's with all the wife jokes . . . ? How about some husband jokes for balance?
I thought that last one was a husband joke???

Just a little throw-in here...I don't mean to take it off-topic.
On this laptop (a Dell Latitude E6530), I've been running fine...no wireless issues.
System: MiyoLinux Kwin
NOTE: No wireless issues during the live session, installation (originally based on Devuan Chimaera), nor the recent upgrade to Devuan Daedalus.
Wireless provided by the CMST network manager
From running the lspci command...
Network controller: Broadcom Inc. and subsidiaries BCM4313 802.11bgn Wireless Network Adapter (rev 01)Current Kernel: Linux 6.1.0-16-amd64
Installer: Refracta
Maybe, I'm just special???

Sometimes, my wife wakes up grumpy.
Other times, she lets me sleep late.

At least Communist-cast...I mean...Comcast waited a long time to patch it...
Another reason why I want to move our family to Panama, live on the beach, and be cut off...I wouldn't miss all of this kind of mess at all.

Yesterday, I told my wife that I wanted to be cremated.
So, she made an appointment for me next week.

My wife said that I needed to be more in touch with my feminine side.
So, I crashed the car.

But my filters take care of all that.
Do you have faucet filters or a "whole house" filter?
Either way, and you probably already know this...just make sure that you change out the filters at their recommended intervals, or you risk growing all kinds of nastiness in them. 
#336 Re: Off-topic » USA Foods » 2023-12-21 11:35:38
Sure. I don't see where to PM you. Send me a message on where we can chat.
Hi! I just saw this. Thank you! I sent you an email through the forum.
Thanks again!

I picked up a hitch hiker the other day.
He asked, "How do you know if I'm a serial killer or not?"
So I asked, "What are the chances of two serial killers being in the same car?"
#338 Re: Devuan » New Devuan user here » 2023-12-20 11:32:17
Hahaha! That's pretty funny! 
I don't remember now, but it used to be (when building my own system from a netinstall) that I would install xorg and the display manager with --no-install-recommends, and the default themes weren't brought in.
I'm too Amnesiactical to remember which one actually has the themes included, nor do I know if that still applies. I haven't built a system in a long time; I just keep upgrading the ones I have.
#339 Re: Off-topic » The Joke Thread » 2023-12-17 00:25:11
I haven't talked to my wife in over 10 years...
...because I don't want to interrupt her.

...by the way, I use arch...thanks to everyone who has commented on this thread. I have looked at all of the links provided and found them quite interesting...including the Motorhead link. I could listen to that --> shite <-- all day long...but that's me.
...by the way, I don't use arch, and I have no use for it or its spawns, but I wish well to those who do.
I spent several years using both sid and ceres (unstable), and after so long, the constant updates got tiresome...but at least I had the latest and greatest!!! ...even though they broke at times...but at least I had them, because I had them n'stuff...even though they may have broken at times...but at least I had them.
What that has to do with this thread...I don't know.

You're from Panama!
That's one of the countries on our "short list" to move to when I retire in a few years!
Would you be willing to send me an email and give me any advice about moving to Panama? Anything? Anything at all?

I asked my friend Sam (who writes jingles for commercials) to write a quick jingle for the iphone.
Then, Sam sung.
#344 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » A lightweight irc client??? » 2023-12-13 14:38:29
Thanks for the recommendations!
(cough-cough --> --no-install-recommends)
HAHAHAHA!
I did a search in the terminal for irc clients. Several of them looked interesting. For now, I've installed Hexchat. I'll revisit others later.
Thanks again!

I don't know where that is.

MY personal "full instructions" for installing Firefox from Mozilla...it will update itself independent from the Devuan/Debian updates.
Make sure you have the REQUIRED libraries installed...
glibc 2.17 or higher
GTK+ 3.14 or higher
libstdc++ 4.8.1 or higher
X.Org 1.0 or higher (1.7 or higher is recommended)
_____________________________________________________________
For sound in Firefox...
b) If you are using only alsa for sound, install apulse to have sound in Firefox.
b) If you are using pulseaudio, sound should work automatically.
_____________________________________________________________
Download and install Firefox...
1. Open a terminal, and cd into the folder where your download will be saved. For example...
cd Downloads2. Download Firefox (or Firefox-ESR) 64 or 32 bit version.
NOTE: To download the 32 bit version, change os=linux64 to os=linux in the command(s) below.
NOTE: If you need Firefox with a language other than English-US, find your language in the list at the bottom, then substitute lang=en-US with your desired language in the command(s) below.
To download Firefox, enter the following command...
wget "[url]https://download.mozilla.org/?product=firefox-latest&os=linux64&lang=en-US[/url]" -O firefox.tar.bz2To download Firefox-ESR, enter the following command...
wget "[url]https://download.mozilla.org/?product=firefox-esr-latest&os=linux64&lang=en-US[/url]" -O firefox-esr.tar.bz23. Extract the file...
tar xjf firefox*.tar.bz24. Move the extracted firefox folder to /opt...
sudo mv firefox /opt/5. Create a symlink to the Firefox executable...
sudo ln -s /opt/firefox/firefox /usr/bin/firefox6. Create a Desktop File...
First, enter the following in the terminal to become root...
su
After becoming root, enter the following command...
cd /usr/local/share/applicationsIf that directory doesn't exist, create it...
mkdir /usr/local/share/applications...then use the cd command again.
Now enter the following command to create a desktop file...
nano firefox.desktopIf you are using alsa for sound, copy and paste the following into the terminal...
[Desktop Entry]
Version=1.0
Name=Firefox
Comment=Browse the World Wide Web
GenericName=Web Browser
Keywords=Internet;WWW;Browser;Web;Explorer
Exec=apulse firefox %u
Terminal=false
X-MultipleArgs=false
Type=Application
Icon=firefox
Categories=Network;
MimeType=text/html;text/xml;application/xhtml+xml;application/xml;application/rss+xml;application/rdf+xml;image/gif;image/jpeg;image/png;x-scheme-handler/http;x-scheme-handler/https;x-scheme-handler/ftp;x-scheme-handler/chrome;video/webm;application/x-xpinstall;
StartupNotify=trueIf you are using pulseaudio for sound, remove apulse from above...
Exec=apulse firefox %u
so that it looks like this...
Exec=firefox %u
Save the file and close nano with the following 3 actions...
Ctrl + x
y
Enter
Firefox should now be installed and available in your menu.

I don't know if this will help, but it's what I refer to when I install Firefox from Mozilla...
Make sure you have the REQUIRED libraries installed...
glibc 2.17 or higher
GTK+ 3.14 or higher
libstdc++ 4.8.1 or higher
X.Org 1.0 or higher (1.7 or higher is recommended)
#350 Re: Installation » [SOLVED] non-free firmware not installable in daedalus » 2023-12-08 17:33:23
Good deal!
I don't use "firefox" from the repos; I download it from Mozilla and use that, so I can't help you there. Sorry.
