Re: pop-up windows all the time in Firefox, Stretch

Back up your ~/.mozilla folder, delete it and reopen Firefox. This will create a fresh Firefox profile. Make sure that Firefox's built in pop up blocker is enabled. Then navigate to websites that are generating pop-ups that normally don't. If the pop-ups persist, then either your computer has

Re: Suggestions AMD or NVidia

If you plan on using AMD cards for non-gaming calculations, I would verify your software is compatible. Most likely it is. nVidia has been known to make it difficult to perform CUDA type calculations on their gaming oriented cards. For that reason I would probably lean AMD.

Re: kmail gmail integration

I second this. Under your google settings, there is a way to generate App passwords under the "Sign-in & Security" section. Use the app password instead of your normal password, and it will bypass your 2FA. On Thu, Jun 29, 2017 at 11:59 PM David Baron wrote: > On יום חמישי,

I think this is a NM issue. I was having difficulty connecting with a USB adapter. Just to make sure it wasn't my adapter, I tried a few different distros (using live CDs) that all used NM, and none of them could connect. As soon as I install WICD, it works flawlessly even after reboot. On Thu,

I wouldn't trust BTRFS in an enterprise environment, but I have good experience in a personal environment. Make sure you are using modern kernels though (I wouldn't use anything earlier than 4.4, and realistically I would use 4.9 or 4.13 or higher), and I definitely would not use RAID5/6. For
