[....] Thereafter, however, the computer has become invisible to all other computers on the network except the router. IOW, I can ping the gateway (DHCP Server) 10.0.0.1 and get a response, but when I try to ping other devices (including sending out a broadcast ping to 10.0.0.255), the Bionic Puppy...

That user.js you create in your "/root/.moonchild productions/pale moon/*.default" profile folder. I have that folder, but there is no "user.js" file presently existing within the folder. Am I to make that file? If so, instructions on how? I've made files before, but at 73 years...

Being a former VW diesel owner (2002 --> 212K mi). What I've deciphered about that whole situation was; 1.) The US EPA designed the test as a static, at idle measurement. 2.) As designed, the VW diesels did pass that EPA test. 3.) However, real-world driving was a catastrophic failure (15-40x emiss...

Now I'm in the situation where my "Banksy 3" web browsers are no longer being accepted by my banking sites. The "user agent" identifies its self to the web site by sending a string of text. There are tools that let you make your web browser lie about which one it is. This may be...

Morning, all. Thought I'd better mention this. I know some of you are still stuck on 32-bit, for whatever reasons. The very small thing I use for travel doesn't do 64 bits. Even this machine that I am using right now has less than 4G of RAM and works jsut fine as a 32 bit machine. Normally, my trav...

. A perverse American???? you bet. I am an Earthling I've decided. Perhaps some may argue that you are not the perverse sort but rather what the founding forepersons were designing the system for. The others, perhaps a majority, are in fact what is perverse. When if comes to corporations I tend to ...

Sometimes this is the best way to go: boot with "puppy pfix=ram" (no quotes) You will be running with no save file. Browse to and click on the save file. It should open to show its contents. Make a temporary directory on some disk and copy all the contents in there. At this point, you shou...

I would try: Changing the "0" to see what it does.

5) Earth's magnetosphere going crazy for an entire day. Magnetic storms are far from a rare thing. Most of the time people generally don't have the time to bother with them since for most people most of the time they don't matter. They tend to happen about a week after something funny happens on th...

Hiyall, USB sticks are continually getting bigger for what I believe is no apparent reason. I think this is what progress means. 32Gb seems to be the current norm. Furthermore the amount of OSs in the 'tiny' area is bewildering. I would like to keep many on a USB stick partitioned to say; 32x 1Gb. ...

I'm using Slacko 5.6 on a Thinkpad laptop and I'm trying to get Simple Screen Recorder (v0.3.3) to work correctly. No matter what settings I adjust, it will record what's on the screen but not any sound. I have "ALSA" set as my audio backend and "default source" as the source. I...

Just a few comments about optimizing charging in a home brew system. You want to have either a panel that makes just under the batteries voltage or just over. Having to do one where the source may be greater or less is always going to lead to a less efficient charger. (I will side bar to explain why...

Using the "check for updates" to get the new version, I made a new version SFS for Palemoon. There is a slight problem however: It appears that when the SFS is loaded on Precise-lite, the pinstall.sh script doesn't get run. The script is there and does set the defaultbrowser if the existin...

A few thoughts about 5 Gee. 1) Back when we had a lot of folks on dialup and low end DSL web pages took several seconds to load. Today with our much faster network, webpages again often take that long because they download about a zillion "frameworks" and stuff like that. 2) Web-2.0 is lar...

I saw the bunny go down the road riding in an open back 4x4.
I wasn't quick enough to get my camera.

Oh, okay. I was using Racy. Works with the newer Puppys. Thanks. BTW: I find that if you make the "6" number one more than the number of items, the Yes that number is for the space allocated for items in the list. On the average laptop screen about 20 items will fill the screen from top t...

The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency: [...] Great casting...only survived 6 episodes and the pilot. Chris. Yes, as is typical, it was good so they stopped making it. Of the "Covid-19" versions of the late night TV shows, "Late Night" with Seth Meyers seems to have done the best at...

Oh, okay. I was using Racy. Works with the newer Puppys. Thanks. BTW: I find that if you make the "6" number one more than the number of items, the script looks much better. If there are So many that the dialog box will be over about 400 pixels tall make the number at least two less than ...
