The thing is my password is very easy now, and i haven't thought about "automated connection attempts" , that sounds rather... scary? My password is easy because i am not afraid of direct physical access to the computer. This is mostly the case if you for some strange reason run an SSH se...

I mainly use a ThinkPad T440s, but I also own a ThinkPad X240.

All-Intel parts haven't failed me yet, especially if the computer is at least a couple of years old.

You could also take a look here to see other users' experience with certain hardware.

That is surprising; I thought it was dead for years. I headed over to GitHub, and it seems it's under active development!

Another for Amarok.

Thanks, Augie77! That is great advice - I'll keep that in mind.

Thanks! PM sent.

I for one, appreciate books (if indeed it's going to be in print). The more there are, the better the coverage. No two books are the same and present (more often than not) differing perspectives on the same material. I commend the attempt and will consider how I can contribute. Thank you for your i...

First, Linux is a branching options problem on steroids. There is no way to do a simple guide which captures even the most important options. Thank you for your input! It is important to be aware of pitfalls - appreciated. Please let me clarify that I don't want to enter a debate here, but this is ...

Hi all! Having written a couple of books before, I will attempt to write a beginner's book to Debian. I firmly believe that a beginner's book could attract new users, and also that attracting new users would be beneficial to Debian in the long run.

I'm glad it worked. Enjoy Debian!

I have not had a Broadcom in many years, but my money would be on this:
or (if you made a root account during install):

In this HowTo, we'll use Anacron to run a script indefinitely at given intervals. What is Anacron? Anacron is a utility program designe...

This should check for (hard) broken dependencies and other package related issues.

If your system is working fine, why worry?

Call me old-fashioned, but I use Minitube.

I have a few MP3-files from 1998 and a document from 1999.

I've been "mining" Pi on my phone for a couple of years now. It's less environmentally taxing compared to many other cryptocurrencies because it doesn't require dedicated hardware. Also, Pi has regular marketplaces where you can purchase everyday products, rent boats or flats, and engage i...
