CShell Yeah is spelled y-e-a-h

I've seen and had way more than enough of this "computers trying to anticipate/foresee/think for me helping me to don't make mistakes/know better than me, what I better going to do/suggest me some" - BS. Doesn't matter if it was "Clippy" (one of...

Sane web developers use feature detection, not browser detection.

A rule for knowledgeable web developers was to never use the user agent for anything because it could be forged. It's a useless metric. If one just follows the standards you would never have any issues except those related to specific browsers...

You always felt like a hacker when the tool was running.

Spectrum's a cool transmog on Diablo 3 :p

My nephew works for Spectrum. I get certain benefits but don't tell anybody. Unfortunately, those are slowly getting stomped on.

I just tried Netsurf browser with my https://vermaden.wordpress.com/ page loaded - additional 83 MB RAM used. Not great. Not terrible.

I started in windows 95 but the real start was using windows 98, the real pleasure was here...hours..and hours and know that at the end everything will be faster

So there is a little man in a backroom? I "fight back", and other violent terms, by writing or calling my political representative and voting for or against them if they don't see my way. That's how it's supposed to work in my country but people...

There is no little man in a back room somewhere watching your every move. There is a system somewhere that watches your every move to feed you ads you don't care about but that's been true since time immemorial. I don't give myself up to these...

Not sure what websites break with non-Linux reporting, but it seems odd to specify non-FreeBSD by default (Firefox isn't running in Linuxulator) I wonder if it'd be cooler to have Firefox on FreeBSD default to FreeBSD UA, but have a weak dep on...

Not text-based but without dependencies. Quite a challenge. Maybe something that's based on the idea of showing a graphical mouse pointer in a vt terminal. No idea how that works but it doesn't need a graphics library and framebuffer. Must be...

If I understand correctly, you're looking for something portable — a file manager that can run from its own directory (even from a network mount) without relying on system-wide libraries. Since you’re looking for a simple portable file manager...

Thanks for reminding me.

Text‐based has probably been answered in 91397.

Unmount has a -N flag. Don't know if you tried that.

You need to have seen this at least once bare-metal to pass an experience check :cool:

I can factory reset a mini speaker and get 14 day free trials :p

It must be text-based? I don't think there are real filemanagers that don't rely on anything at all. There's always a front-end that needs some lib to display things. Ofcourse you can create a non-graphical file selector with copy and move...

I'm looking for a simple file manager that I can run from the directory it is installed in without the need for any additional libs. ie I would like to run fmx even from a network drive just by going to the directory where it is installed eg...

The browser ports hardcode the Linux string. You can use extensions to change it.

Honestly I think the reason is "if sender os == windows then windows else if os == mac then apple else linux".

I pay 14.00€/month (13.99€). Given that I use it a lot, alongside YouTube music, and I don't pay any other streaming service, for me it's okay. Anyhow, I think that secretly they prefer people watching ads. I think it's more profitable.

I would be willing to pay for the ads to go away (as opposed to using an adblocker). But last I looked they bundled it with some crap and it was too expensive.

On UFS rootfs will mount read-only when there are filesystem errors. If fsck preen cannot fix them you will need to run fsck by hand.

What does mount say if you manually mount the partition explicitly with mount -v -o rw ? I'd say it should at least mention some reason for getting no write access. I have no drive with this problem to test it. 1 similar situation that I...

your drive is probably hosed. some SSDs go read-only instead of turning into bricks. Check their smart status.

They can be, in my experience there's a ton of padding and unless you appreciate dance as an artform, it can be really hard to get into as each time a musical number starts it completely stops the plot and often times you'll hit the point where...

By the way, you can destroy all boot environments (which are in fact ZFS snapshots), except the default, all at once, or a range of BE's. See /usr/share/games/fortune/freebsd-tips: You can delete a range of ZFS snapshots (a-z) in multiple...

I do cause I don't want to get stuck with one of them failing for some reason and I have to backtrack for some reason. Habit from decades past when it could be a house of cards collapsing onto itself. I only want to deal with one thing at a time.
