    How to input Japanese using fcitx-mozc? 日本語入力への切り替え出来ず...

    The more I read, the more I decide to stay with fcitx5-anthy till mozc becomes a package :). That's not any sort of insult, it just seems that it probably requires someone with more skill and knowledge than I have to make it work, especially when the type of thing I write is (to use yesterday...

    Solved Identity and instant messaging: AIM, ICQ, Yahoo!, Skype, Google Talk

    Ahh, now I remember. I think it was when someone messaged you, though I'm not sure. Anyway, one of its signals was an "uh-oh"

    Solved Identity and instant messaging: AIM, ICQ, Yahoo!, Skype, Google Talk

    Well, at my first IT job, around 2000, we used AIM. And some co-workers and I used after hours, my nieces used it, so I'd use it to talk to them, etc. ICQ I had but seldom used. IRC of course. None of the others. My wife uses some for her business, facebook, though she has mainly replaced that...

    How to input Japanese using fcitx-mozc? 日本語入力への切り替え出来ず...

    I just went and played with fcitx5-mozc on an Arch Linux bhyve vm to see if it was likely to really affect me. I've found that for my (extremely limited these days) use of Japanese, it's not going to make much difference. So, for now at least, I'll go back to being my usual lazy self and wait...

    How to input Japanese using fcitx-mozc? 日本語入力への切り替え出来ず...

    T-Aoki, in the link for Ken Dechui's overlay, he writes that it doesn't work well in 15.0-CURRENT. Obviously, 15.0 is no longer CURRENT, but are there still problems with it. (ChapinTokyo, apologies for hijacking the thread, but it's only one question. ゆるして くださ)い。

    The Random Thread

    AlfredoLlaquet, I dunno if it was 20 years ago or more, but yes, it's quite true. I remember, back when I was training dogs, finding out an author of a book that I thought well done lived in the same state (in the US, you worried about long distance costs), and looking up her number in the...

    Thanks for coming back and letting us know. Hopefully, at some point, you'll get it working with all your QT apps..

    Other "Lightweight Desktop" vs "feature-rich and resource intensive"

    Before Covid, when I worked in an office, a Windows/Linux using co-worker used to say that even if he had access to my computer, he wouldn't know what to do. I ran FreeBSD with dwm. I usually, sorta out of habit, had a desktop image. but with dwm, it is all keystrokes. He couldn't right click...

    The Random Thread

    It's pretty sickening actually. So what if it was about drugs? It's not ChatGPT's business, it's supposed to correct your grammar if necessary. It's a tool. Suppose you hired a dog walker and they suddenly began giving advice about your relationship with a significant other? It means it's...

    Other FreeBSD 15.0 - Hyprland Setup

    Did you make sure seatd is running? I'm not sure from the error message that it is (running). The handbook covers Wayland, https://docs.freebsd.org/en/books/handbook/wayland/ (though they don't mention hyperland there). Anyway, you will need to install seatd and start it to run any Wayland...

    Other "Lightweight Desktop" vs "feature-rich and resource intensive"

    I still use mutt, and only on occasion do I have to use an external viewer to see some html stuff that isn't visible in text. (and most times, those turn out to be spam. The more reputable companies and my doctors use whatever they use and I can view it in mutt).

    Anyone using Musk's "Starlink" for inet?

    Just for what it's worth, I've found whenever I've called Spectrum to complain about price, they have worked with me to lower it. I actually called them a few days ago, as my price had gone up again, and, as I told them, had they not gotten greedy, I wouldn't have noticed and they could have...

    Solved Javascript behaving unexpectedly on FreeBSD (with Apache)

    Well, I think I am going to mark this solved. Going from a stack overflow thread at https://stackoverflow.com/questions/57279116/actual-last-updated-date-with-javascript it seems the best way to do it, on static pages, which these are, is to just hardcode it in. Again thanks to everyone for...

    Solved Javascript behaving unexpectedly on FreeBSD (with Apache)

    Thanks for the information. I think I'm just going to gradually remove the script from pages as I come across them. I'm not going to mark it solved, as the issue remains (at least on Apache) but you folks have given me a better idea of what's going on.

    Why are FreeBSD users seen as black sheep? (+ thanks)

    The FreeBSD handbook used to have something on their myths page. I can't find it now, but it was Which is the second best answer to this I think. The best one is what msplsh said, "People are jerks". (Insert political opinion here, "Look how many people voted for <whichever party I hate>")

    Solved Javascript behaving unexpectedly on FreeBSD (with Apache)

    I only have the one system, which was moved from Linux to FreeBSD yesterday or the day before. Running curl -I https://www.scottro.net/mutt.html (to choose a random page) gave me last-modified: Tue, 27 Jan (snipped the rest of it, that just shows me it's working correctly right now, I...

    The Random Thread

    drhowarddrfine, just spent around a half hour on the phone with Spectrum. Got a nice rep, who gave us a different plan that will save us quite a bit. Not needing any TV from them helps, of course. I know I've read somewhere that cable companies are hurting because of streaming--I suspect that my...

    Solved Javascript behaving unexpectedly on FreeBSD (with Apache)

    And, this is odd. Suddenly it is behaving correctly, at least on a few random pages I looked at. srobb.net still has last date looked at (that's at a datacenter, also on a FreeBSD jail). The www.scottro.net was on Linux until a few days ago, (RHEL-10.0) and was showing the correct date. But...

    Solved Javascript behaving unexpectedly on FreeBSD (with Apache)

    sko /zroot/jails has atime off and relatime on. The atime was inherited from zroot and relatime is default.

    Solved Javascript behaving unexpectedly on FreeBSD (with Apache)

    @drhowardfine, I don't know. And thanks for the other comments. sko I'm not sure. I created it during installation, and then created the jail a couple of days ago. I'll have to check and get back to you on that one. (have to check how to check that, which will be a good learning experience...
