Debian User Forums

Is there any plan to implement https for DUF in the future?

Have a nice day. Bye

Fair enough.

I'm curious as to why you and another mod never replied to my PM from 4 days ago.

I will change my email address to a fictional one - thus locking the account forever.

Regards.

Hi. I've asked 2 mods to delete my account but nothing happened. I ask again here. If again, nothing happens; I may just follow the info here: http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=138014&p=676573&hilit=delete+account, and change my email to a made-up email address and call it qu...

Hi.

Why is Debian User Forums still not using https at login?

Thanks.

Hi Steve. The part above '###' is the original source entries. The part below '###' are those I got from a Debian sources online generator.

Here are my sources from '/etc/apt/sources.list': # # deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux 8.4.0 _Jessie_ - Official amd64 DVD Binary-1 20160402-14:46]/ stretch contrib main #deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux 8.4.0 _Jessie_ - Official amd64 DVD Binary-1 20160402-14:46]/ stretch contrib main #deb http://security.de...

Hi. I followed this guide (https://linuxconfig.org/how-to-upgrade-debian-8-jessie-to-debian-9-stretch) and all seems fine. The part I skipped was the two " # aptitude search '~o'" sections. Must I manually delete all the packages shown by that commands output? Here's my output (my PC name ...

Yes.

Run these to check if you are prone to meltdown & spectre.

Currently, my login remains for a long time.

It's nice to see Chromium going toe-to-toe with Chrome.

Exactly.

Dedicated to Ian Murdock ------------------------ Ian Murdock, the founder of the Debian project, passed away on 28th December 2015 at his home in San Francisco. He was 42. It is difficult to exaggerate Ian's contribution to Free Software. He led the Debian Project from its inception in 1993 to 1996...

One reason why people won't like Opera is because it's proprietary.

I'd rather just use Kupfer or Synapse.

Hopefully Debian 9 + backports will get Brisk.

Hopefully the Brisk Menu will make it to Debian soon.

Note there's no Swap as I heard that's bad for an SSD. You heard old news. Old SSDs were more limited in how many write cycles they could endure but newer ones are good for millions of writes. Swap on SSD should not be an issue these days. If you have a good amount of RAM, Linux hardly does any swa...

Hi.

Would this partition setup work well with a SSD?

/boot
/ (encrypted with LUKS and contains home)
