FWIW, to use ^H for bold print, set this: export GROFF_NO_SGR="Y" or setenv GROFF_NO_SGR "Y" depending upon your shell. Useful for old printers like I have :)
He was a frequent visitor to a bar that is still in business in the city I grew up in. It was said he carved his initials in a table there. Friends and I spent time there looking for these initials but without luck. But…
If I am reading this right, Slackware 15.0 is already fixed: % uname -a Linux XXXX 5.15.223 #1 SMP PREEMPT Thu Oct 22 00:03:07 CDT 2026 x86_64 Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4810MQ CPU @ 2.80GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux
Too little, too late. There are aspects of many political parties I agree with, but to me, being against Nuclear Power is the largest short sighted items this and a couple of other parties are/were against. If many…

I doubt tech right now can be equated with tobacco, its use does not kill. Now AI ? The day will probably come when AI will kill on purpose without a real person's involvement. I know about the Iran School, but at that…
Maybe try a different server ? https://sdfeu.org/w/faq:basics08 But I think more info is needed. like membership level and server you are signing into.
Interesting. At one tine, Slackware Linux would not recompile binaries unless the program was patched. So there was a time you could find rather old binaries on Slackware, and maybe still on other distros. I wonder what…
I learned to live with my mistakes :) I remember the old USENET Days, back them people were noto concerned with spelling, at least in the groups I read.
I hope so, I still listen to the radio. The AM Station in the city I grew up I would play the old radio serials from before TV on Sunday Evenings. I had to move away so I cannot get that station, but I will have to…
Why ? It is not owned and controlled by billionaires. Plus no AI slop being spammed to gopher sites. FWIW, the same applies to gemini protocol.

It has been for a maybe 10 years. I take the recent announcements as "proof" the Linux Foundation does not care about hiding that fact. It is too bad, some distros are trying to avoid following corporate mandates, but I…
Plus SQL, 4GL and a few others that came out over the years :) Interesting Read.

If in the US, never vote for GOP canadites plus vote for progressive democrats. But we all know the top 1% will make sure the US will never change so everyone needs to make sure they vote.
BP is a European company. You know what the cost would have been for ExxonMobil? Pocket change. See multiple spills in Alaska for examples.
Probably looking to avoid anti-trust issues once Trump is gone.
I very much doubt it. For consumers it is all about cost. Heating in winter with Natural Gas is 1/3 the price of electricity and much cheaper than Oil. To get people off of fossil fuels, remove oil subsidizes and tax…
