Btw, I was convinced AWK was like grep and sed, a tool to process text files.
But you talk and show it as being a language on its own. Are the two the same
thing?
First of all, thank you so much for all the detailed explanation about AWK. I
cannot say I understood everything (I am used at writing in bash, and from
some scripts I have shared here in the Forum you will notice I am not as good
at making things simple and straightforward as you are), but
First, thanks for the reply.
Second, I never used awk much, if at all, so I have little experience with it
(unlike grep which I have used in a few occasions), which is why I didn't
think of using it.
Third, I will need your help to, first, understand the code you wrote. It
seems to me,

I will, for now, stick with it. At some point will have to think about
finding another RSS solution (one that works well with Onion Services, and
has good privacy settings).
One question, if I install Icedove from that deb, Trisquel updater will not
try to force 68.x version right?
To be honest I was using it mainly for RSS... I had an email account there
but it was already available as a JS-free webmail (danwin1210.me, great
webmail service, available as Onion too).
As for RSS reader, I thought the Torbirdy addon was the safest way to use
RSS. Guess I will be back at
It's no use, the same versions appear as they do in Synaptic.
Guess I could try downloading the deb file from Debian website, remove
Icedove from my system and install it from the deb file... Dependencies are
met already, so... Could work maybe...?
https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/31341
Thanks I will try that.
The link above explains the current situation for Torbirdy and 68.x
It might work in the future, but not anyone is able to solve it now.
Lucky for me, I always play things safe... The emails and RSS feeds I had,
I suspected as much.
But I still need to get to 60.x since I need Torbirdy to work and there is no
chance to use it in 68.x
At least for now. Hopefully the TAILS team will be able to merge enough
patches to upstream and things will be smoother in the future.
I was just mentioning that if for
I am running Trisquel 8, but in Synaptic the only options are 68, 52 and 45.
Why does Trisquel include older versions such as 45 and not have the version

More to the point, how do I get the 60 version to install?
Thanks.
Hey everyone,
Today I had some updates available, one of them being Icedove. I was using
Icedove 60, with Torbirdy addon, which is incompatible with Icedove 68. So,
how do I downgrade to 60 (to the latest version available if possible) ?
And how do I prevent it from being upgraded? I still

The issue is still occurring, in a random manner. The minus/underscore key

I believe you might be more sensitive to sounds than me. My fan is running at

You can install Linux-Libre in any distro, Ubuntu for example. That would

Given that there is no Office Suite for Android that is Free Software (other

would be your position regarding OnlyOffice, for using it in Android?
Thanks for the input.
Also anyone else who has tried it, any feedback
Oh, and make sure you are booting the newer kernel. For some reason it could

That makes no sense. RMS was not even involved in Trisquel, so any political

You are right of course. But I would think that Firefox must have it's own

wget is merely a "downloader". It's a program that retrieves data from the
