Thanks for the info. You got me quite excited. lol. I built the driver for my TL-WN727N which I bought thinking it was a TL-WN722N!!!!

The driver built and worked but it still required blobs firmware-nonfree so back in my cupboard it went

As NorthEast says you can find wifi that will just work if you look hard enough but you can't just go by the name. Many have the same name but different chipsets. Even firmware versions can be crutial. So v2 may work but v3 not. This one works https://tehnoetic.com/tehnoetic-wireless-adapter-gnu-lin...

^ No I don't. Though I did do a quick search but the only result anywhere near "Surveillance socialism" on the first page was referring to Lenin in 1917... I don't think they used computers back then or if they did they certainly kept them well hidden. :mrgreen: Get with the program and at...

The Age of Surveillance Capitalism Is truly up on us. See:(Shoshana Zuboff) if it's new to you.. This is a great threat to our privacy and free-software. If mandated that free-software project has to have back doors, users will just build from source to remove them. Then even more draconian laws unt...

A rather unfortunate abbreviation.

In more ways than one! As those of us that have been here along time will know. Made me chuckle anyway.

Yes I recall now. The 2 were the same. I just searched for "beginners guide oswaldkelso" hence got the first link. There was me Nadir and Hazel. I'm not sure if they had access to edit it as user "beginners-guide" but I did. I long ago forgot the password and we all went our sepa...

It's old and unloved well out of date so now rightly locked. But still a good resource for those that care to use as a base for updating?

Thinking about it I'm sure the was a later version somewhere. Anyway just a thought.

Last time I tried to install install on my PPC G5 Imac it was a pita. So much so I used the Debian installer to do the partitioning and then installed void PPC :shock: Some machine like yaboot and all that "Blessing the system with holy penguin pee stuff" Most now use grub and some... Draw...

More than 17 years straight. Woody > Then Sarge > as sole os until systemd. Then only on PPC. Then until present on freedombox .I wait in hope rather than expectation. IMO The corporations are killing our freedom. Unless Debian can again become the universal operating system I loved and can't resist...

^ Thanks for asking: IMO this thread should be not just about how pretty your desktop is but how beautiful it is under the skin so to speak. The beauty of how well it functions. On the desktop I run either Slackware or Hyperbola. Slackware is BIG it wants to install everything. On my Slackware I hav...

Death by a thousand cuts is one thing but death slow opening windows worse. I've never ran slow systems but even by my usual standards t...

On my minimal systems that start without a cursor I either start an xterm and get the ugly X cursor. You will need to know the key binds to do this obviously or stick something like
in my xinitrc

I quite like the idea that there are other flags. I’m Welsh by birth but have lived over half my life in Scotland. Choosing one Nations flag over another is quite wrenching.
