Debian User Forums

You probably already know this,

but to clarify, I've had my browser set to store forum cookies since 2007.

But I haven't had the login/cookies problem since 2007.

Yup, ever since I joined in 2007.

For many years, I visited these forums once every several days, with no problems. I always checked the boxes to "remember me" and to "hide me."

But for the past several months, almost every time I come here, it tells me I'm not logged in. And it keeps asking me to confirm my cookie settings.

I've tried deleting my forum cookies. I've tried to log in and then log out, and then log in again.

In short, I've had 2 strokes - the latest one in 2017. I'm too tired to have to keep remembering how to ...

Translation: private security, publicly-discussed, is an oxymoron.

Thanks for all the information about Total Commander! I'll take a closer look at that!

For the past several years -- ever since I spent a lot of time looking for wifi Android//Linux file-transfer solutions through my local, private router -- I've used something that I've never seen anyone else talk about, but I've found it to be really, really easy.

On my Android, I installed File Manager PLUS (which is free).

File Manager Plus is a terrific GUI file manager. But one of its many "home screen ...

Does Total Commander need to run in Wine?

I'll put it this way if you compare window whit Debian sid you will realise that windows which is suppose to be a stable OS is unstable and that Debian sid in comparison is stable which is said to be unstable, and that's because it's compared whit Debian stable which is a rock betony titan solid release.

DebainGnuLinux is the best. You just have to know your needs. Now be a real man don't let fear make a fool out of you and try Sid. :D


I'm no expert, and I've had 2 strokes, but even I ...

VERY COOL! I wish you all the best!!!

Thanks for the confirmation.

Isn't https a choice?

Isn't it possible to easily do both -- serve https to users whose equipment can process it, but fall back to http for those whose equipment can't process https?

Freecad MAY already be available on your .iso #1, and ready to be manually installed:

https://wiki.freecadweb.org/Install_on_Linux

Your Debian installation only requires #1 to be "normal."

You don't "install" 2 and 3. They both contain EXTRA programs that you may choose to individually add to your Debian installation, if you need them.

For example, I've been using Linux since 1996, but I've never needed to install anything from 2 or 3.

OK. One more story... I recall using WordPerfect (in DOS) to embed some charts and a graphic in a paper around 1991. The professor held my paper in front of the class and praised it. It was actually quite embarrassing and the whole class was staring at me...angrily. After that, my fellow students started handing-in their papers in binders and other things, but no one ever matched the slickness of what I could do with WP and a few other apps. Of course, few people at that time had a computer or ...

I didn't start using Linux until Mepis in the 90's.

But, after doing tons of research on it, I bought the original Amiga that had one built-in 3-1/2" floppy (no hard drive) and only 512K of RAM. Paid a local guy $200 to solder on another 512K. Did my Master's thesis on it (was the first person in my university to use my own computer, instead of paying a typist $1/page to type it for me).

After my 1985 thesis defense, my thesis committee wanted me to strengthen one section of my writing, and ...

Many years ago, I ran into a similar problem. Sudden, random freezes, with nothing in the log files to indicate what had gone wrong.

In my case, the problem ended up being just ONE of the drive connector "tubes" fitting onto one of the drive pins too loosely (apparently, microscopically), so that, when the drive had to do a lot of work, that one pin vibrated enought (again, apparently microscopically) to cause it to intermittently disconnect. Pinching it a tiny bit, to "tighten it", solved the ...

Thanks, Hoas,
I'm doing much better than I was a year ago, but much worse than I was 2 years ago, two days before Christmas. On a side note, if you're gonna have a stroke, try to schedule it for ANY time, other than 2 days before Christmas. All the people who can really help you are gone on vacation for 2 weeks at that time.

I really don't "get" the point of this thread. Someone thinks that disabled people are cheating someone? Someone wants to brag that they're disabled, but they still work? I don't get it.

My first stroke, 12 years ago, was certainly not a choice. Nor was my 2nd stroke, almost 2 years ago. That one put me in the hospital for a whole month, and left my left side completely "disconnected" from my brtain for nearly 6 months of really tough rehab.
Now I can barely walk, remember things, or do ...
