  HowTo: INSTALLING Browsers in Linux Here we're going to cover the installation steps of Browsers in Linux - specifically, Debian GNU/Linux. We're covering the procedural steps for this in Debian Testing (Forkey), which is already beginning the gleanings of what will become Debian 14. At the time of writing,the current kernel version is 7.0.13+deb14-amd64. Daily drivers will likely be along the lines of Vivaldi, Firefox, Lagrange, and Brave Browser, and in no particular order. Any other...

  @ocean They've been doing this for many years. You're right, it hits hard when it's you. Maybe try it this way instead?: ~$ whois frankandbeanyboitoo.com No match for domain "FRANKANDBEANYBOITOO.COM". >>> Last update of whois database: 2026-04-26T23:08:23Z <<< We correctly, rightfully, and accurately called them all cybersquatters back when, but then that term was legislated to mean something different, and "Domainers"...

  New Bitchen' Timestamps in Mitra!Short, i.e., 3m, 4h, Apr 14, 5d, and Dec 16, 2022. Need the full timestamp? No Prob! Just hover w/your mouse. That last post, for example, would display "December 16, 2022 at 3:23 AM PST" (If you're sitting in my seat right now). Yeah, that's from a real post of mine, which is HERE. Enjoy! #tallship #FOSS #Mitra #Fediverse

  NOTE: This is a repost from the Fediverse-City Matrix Room. I meant to post on the progress that @toddsundsted has been making on kristec. You can also checkout this ambitious project itself at: https://github.com/toddsundsted/ktistec I've been thoroughly impressed with all of the publishing features of his Fediverse server. Some of the shortcomings, if that's how you choose to view them, might be that it's essentially a smolweb server leveraging noSQL and an accounts database t...

  @auschwitzmuseum Finally, a rare documented case of a survivor who risked her own existence to ensure that others may survive. Hers is the legacy of the human condition, at it's best, emboldened with the courage of what is right and just, when faced with the almost certain demise of oneself. Accounts such as this are those that inspire others to abandon concerns of terrible retribution for the sake of even a small morsel of humanities rewards. Thank you for documenting and publishing Sta...

  7.0.4+deb14-amd64I'm very happy with the #Linux 7 kernel that I've been rolling with on #Debian 14 the past couple of weeks. #tallship #FOSS ⛵ .

  @jselea Thanks goes out to Jonathan for this (still quite relevant) tidbit. For those of us who spent a lot of time with Sun #Solaris up through Solaris 10 there's a lot to appreciate here. Solaris has been parted out, but here is an Enterprise production scale incarnation that's worth a looksee and testdrive. It's really a shame that the Evil EllisonCo destroyed so much - just discarded it like trash, following aquisitions, and what they didn't toss out in the trash they dissap...

  Varnish, it's like MySQL, Gitea, ownCloud and OpenOffice?Well we're all familiar with MariaDB, Forgejo, and LibreOffice, now one group that is likening the creation of those forks by the original development teams is also asking folks (for the sake of understanding) that #Vinyl-cache is the original, unbroken codebase that was once #Varnish, yet furthermore, is also akin to other software such as those others mentioned above both pre and post forking. https://vinyl-cache.org/organizatio...

  I just left Cindy Cohn's Presentation and book release party via remote stream. Cindy is the Executive director of the EFF, and came to prominence regarding the Bernstein case against the prohibition of "strong encryption" a few years back during the Clinton administration. Today, the industrial surveillance special interests are being aided again by socialist governments in the form of California_Digital_Age_Assurance_Act (AB 1043), and I was fortunate enough to have her directl...

  Liable "only if it intended that the provided service be used for infringement"8 years in the making, The US Supreme Court affirms that a provider is merely... a provider, and not complicit in the illegal acts that some of it's subscribers engage in. You would think that this was a matter of common sense, but where deep pockets are involved... Well, Read on young Grasshoppa*, and while you're at it, *try to snatch the pebble from my hand. That's the lay version in common s...

  Woz uuuuuuup?The subject, and rock star, in this 1976 photograph is the Apple I microcomputer. Of the two men in this photo, one is a talented, affable, friendly and approachable genius and superhero who created this personal computer. The other is Steve Jobs. A turning point upon the precipice of an industrial and technological explosion that democratized computing for the masses, other contemporary superheroes were #Bill_Joy and Dr. Gary Kildall (Enjoy the video!) #tallship #Apple_I #The_Woz...

  Gentoo moves too! In recent days, weeks, months, the fallout hasn't even begun - Microsoft is still weathering the blast itself. Even in the last couple of days viral videos are racking up millions of views covering what many people are hailing as the demise of Microsoft itself - to be certain, no one is shedding any tears. The first two defectors? HP and Samsung (PCs and Androids). Samsung removed preinstalled Microsoft apps from their devices and now other Android manufacturers are follow...
