I have spent many hours searching for a direct email address to confirm that demanding payment of an IRS Tax fee is not legal but have not found one so far. When I write to the company they say it is perfectly legal and all their customers are...

In your .xprofile, LANG variable is not needed, locale is defined in your AccountsService profile.

Since your printer understands PCL 3, a CUPS + Ghostscript combo is all you need. Ghostscript will act as a rendering engine, converting the document into printer-readable code without any additional HP software. P.S. My HP1320 works fine without...

The part that is beyond boiling is the steam you see in the air. The water you poured into your cup was not above the boiling (steaming) point. And once the water hit your cup, it was far below 212F

The PAM LightDM file needs to have support of gnome-keyring (as specified in comment above). It is mandatory!

As you have Xfce installed, you should use the AccountsService DBus service. 1. touch $(id -un) Your new file should look like this: [User] Language=en_US.UTF-8 Session=xfce XSession=xfce SystemAccount=false Value of Session and XSession is...

I wasn't actually talking about porn. I was talking about creating hysteria to deal with fears, instead of solving problems. For that porn was a good example. Don't get me wrong, I neither applaude the masses of free porn we have since the WWW...

I've poured boiling water into foam ramen containers no problem :p

Just a theory. One I hope is unlikely. There's a fuss over Google further restricting developer access to Android. Could this be an arguement by Google (or Apple or Microsoft) to further restrict to apps outside their control? Ignore me, I'll...

I have a much better and free solution. Better parenting. Forbid your child from accessing the things this is attempting to protect them from. Things like Reddit.

Not in a coffee machine. At the boiling point it turns to steam. Then it would also melt the coffee maker plastic parts and the cup it's poured into.

I will try using it instead of doas, which is specific to FreeBSD, without using ports. I really like this.

I've been using mdo for a month now. It does all I need as a simpler sudo replacement. Realizing this, I just ran $ mdo pkg remove sudo

I once had a demo of a compiler which hat the limitation of liking long weekends - "This compiler will not work on mondays" it said. And what happend to "Use/install at your own risk" because the FreeBSD project is not the manufacturer, they are...

I'm using RethinkDNS, works quite a charm.

I've used it for just that for years. And the Handbook seems to agree:

Let te beast go,

Very quickly? That's a bit of an exaggeration, especially for such a relatively conservative project as FreeBSD. These things take years to change. When features are set as "deprecated", they are phased out through multiple major releases before...

I've forced to purchase mini PC last November (near December) as my ThinkPad P52 was approaching to its death (keyboard was incrementally broken and no spare parts is available! And started to behave unstabully, still not always, though, but a...

Adopted, brother and sister from another mother and father 😁 Ocean beach is their playground and food is what they live for. Other than that, they're unconditional friends and always in good mood.

We had Luna, Pembroke Corgi. She was like a human. Now is 4 years when she passed away and we didn't decided for another dog. She was old 14 years. But my nephew had a beagle and he was 21 years old when he left the planet Earth. Our Luna and his...

Yes, that's exactly how it is with cats! But when it comes to devotion, they can rival dogs. When we were renovating my son's apartment, we brought a cat home for almost a year. She was very bored. She kept looking out the window, wondering if...

Our cat, formally not mine, is my son's

One of mine thinks he's part Yeti.

I ordered a high end nvidia card but decided I didn't need it right now so I returned it. I might regret that decision. I honestly think there may come a world wide economic collapse fairly soon.

That's what I said, too.

blackbird9 But coffee can't be served boiling. It's impossible as I stated in my post.

SSDs, too. HDs. High end graphics cards. I missed an upgrade cycle and now I'm stuck on DDR4.

The thing about the coffee water temperature, you can't get water temperature higher than boiling which is 212F/100C. You shouldn't really use boiling water to brew coffee (as if I was a coffee aficionado) but let's say they did. Then you run it...

I heard the Ali guy was missing but that was a year ago or so. Did he return meanwhile?

We are having that discussion about blocking social media for under 16 year olds. The argument most ignored is that this will not reduce anything because at 18 you are not magically a sane and responsible, law abiding citizen. People drink...

Never had a PC tapedrive. Only for a few 8-bit computers. I wish it wasn't so expensive. I would like a 1PB drive and 3 tapes or so. Nice for long term backup. Make a big copy of everything first and add only newer files the next 20 years.

There is, I found some in the f-droid store looking for "dns".

I dont want to brag, but hey not for everyone, i'm luckely retired, walks at 6u30 in morning, one hour after midnight i can do. But which this not for everyone, needs attention, same time give alot of love. And Labradors, you must have one to know.

A total mess atm. Now removing a massive wood construct that was once a mainframe made of old PC's. Who can use old LSI SAS controllers? 😊

I am exactly getting your point and agreeing with it. Coffee warning signs are there because McD doesn't want to own up to their fuckup. They don't want to lose reputation, and admit they delivered a hazardous product. They lobbied, lined up...

blackbird9, supposedly true in the US as well. (from stuff you've posted I think you're in the UK).

Yep, with the best of intentions, my mancave spread throughout the rest of the house. Or at least most of it. My wife did accidentally stub her toe on an old v210 I had propped up against the sofa. She got quite angry so it lives in the garage now.

If you're talking about a women and McDonalds coffee, that conclusion is a propaganda scam by media paid by McD. This was no frivolous claim - the woman, minutes after her coffee was made, spilled it on her lap, and she got burns through the...

Install sddm with pkg install sddm, I guess? I always hated these graphical login managers because they used to put the user in a loop and remove the option leave Xorg. It should be just a program. There's nothing to manage further. Don't know...

Alain De Vos, two suggestions. One is using netcat, e.g., if your printer is at 192.168.1.50 netcat 192.168.1.50 9100 < myfile.pdf That's for pdf files. Secondly I'll spam my own page, which recommends the everywhere driver...

Thanks everyone for the answers! Thanks for that! I knew about :+ expansion, but couldn't find how it can be applied in a real script. Neat :) JohnK's solution is quite close, but I think I finally implemented what I wanted without any...

I would approach it with a file method. If the data is sensitive you can use a FIFO instead (data is gone once consumed). This would require the least amount of modification to "prompt.sh". [wrapper-communication]cat script.sh #!/bin/sh # Note...

I thought I saw a manpage with more instances, but 'man remind' mentions LPR. Does the sunsetting of these commands make all printcap files except the one(s) generated by cups obsolete? And if so, should not all the details be put into...
