17 years and 258 days, or 29 years and 12 days. Depends how hard you drive them. For drives or sticks I dinna mourn; E'en let them die - for that they're born; But O, prodigious to reflect, A USB, sirs, is gane to wreck! O Seagate, in thy sma' space What dire events hae taken place! Of what MP3s tho...

Remarkable stuff when can you link to an article which uses Epoch Times as a source, and it is still isn't the worst thing about your post.

What is Ublock Origin? Do we now need it to use Debian? My comment was tongue-in-cheek. I suppose you might not browse the internet, or block ads via some other means like DNS or built into browser. Of course, people can view ads if they like. And they can also install snapstore to waste even more ...

This should be some made into some sort of sticky thread. It's absolutely fabulous.

@canci - how can I disable your extremely annoying gif? I want to read your comments but the gif is so distracting and giving me a headache. Sorry. Thanks If you are using Ublock Origin as you should be, you just need to right-click on the picture and select block element and then select the imgur ...

I'm really puzzled by all your replies. There are several ways to contact either the upstream developers of any desktop environment or the Debian maintainers and suggest a script like that. Why would asking a question like that be arrogant? Unless someone can't deal with feedback, then I guess it m...

I've managed over the past 40+ years It's hard to believe given how much you are struggling to cope with the notion of automatic upgrades. Were you banging on about the death of humanity back when people started using GUIs? :lol: No one said that a beginner has to programme that, but why do you thi...

BTW, I'm really sure that you could just build a script that checks the current Debian stable codename somewhere on Debian's website, and once it changes from Bullseye to something else, give a pop-up that says: "New Debian release. You can upgrade now." Maybe also a link to a nice upgrad...

For the average user inspecting for "borkage" or being "happy with proposed changes" is like my mum "looking" at a proposed car engine upgrade and being "happy" with how it looks. Have you any hard data to support this assumption that the average Debian user ...

The bare minimum steps I would personally suggest for a dist-upgrade are: Read the release notes. Ensure you have a good, tested backup. Bring your system up to date, if it isn't already. Take note of, then remove any non-debian packages. Change your sources.list entries to reference the new releas...

I just want to be able to install .deb packages that think they are installed like normal but do not have any impact on my real system. This would allow me to install notepadqq or chromium 93 from the Debian testing without actually installing any dependencies from that repo. What you want to do is...

Chromium because I can use the dark mode flag as I am getting old and my eyes are getting even older.

However ALL of the installed themes in someway or another are using wf.src = 'https:// ajax. googleapis. com/ajax/libs/webfont/1.5.18/webfont.js'; even the default prosilver theme that ships with the forum software. No escape from google it seems. :) :( Where are you seeing that? I cannot see anyth...

Is there any maintained applications which provide a layered sandbox filesystem for Debian? Similar to what sandboxie does in Windows. Perhaps it is even possible in Debian itself as standard. Here is an example of what I am talking about, but not updated in 5 years. I am not looking for something f...

It is indeed the theme. Switch to Allan Subsilver the use of the google is gone.

Thanks. I really appreciate that you're going the extra mile. I use the pycode theme. Is that the issue? Please let me know if I can provide any browser logs. Pycode theme is what it is I think. When I got to the demo it blocks google fonts. I have no idea how to set it on the forum! :lol: https://...

I don't know if it's a big issue, but yeah I guess I'll read up on it. Thanks for the heads up. https://html.duckduckgo.com/html/?q=web+privacy+remote+fonts I presume you are blocking some sort of cookie notice as there are no items blocked in my Ublock origin on this page. The forum isn't using go...

I think you are lucky you got a warning like this. Replace it, drives are cheap now. 18832 hours of use is 784 days, or over 2 years continuous, that's a nice drive! :lol: It's a 2006 Sony VAIO laptop, one of my mates old laptops. It wouldn't be worth it really, it'd be easier and better to just bu...

Hibernation (suspend to disk) or suspend to RAM ? Hibernation completely shuts down the computer, so running out of battery does nothing. However running out of battery during suspend to RAM has the same effect as an unclean shutdown. Thank you for the knowledge and information. Unfortunately I can...

You can't thank yourself!

I know but I can't thank anyone who helped me with my question!
