When it says there are no updates I have forced it to go check again... Every time it has resulted in hundreds of MB in updates. It has been chewing on a larger update for about a half an hour now, and while it seems to be progressing it is taking forever and a day (give or take a few minutes).
I get a lot of updates on my Linux side, but they never take that long...
My son has a laptop that finally got bogged down with crapware and other nasties under the hood and he asked me to reload it for him. He is usually careful online but he apparently found some aggressive adware buried in something else he wanted. He had updated it to Windows 10 from 7 which at the time had seemed like a good idea.
With the night behind you
You walk away and I will find you
We are locked in this emotion
We will find the way home
And it’s too late
To regret the mistakes we made
Easier to walk away
And it’s too late
To deny all the words we say
Nothing will ever be the same
When the world surrounds you
You take your place with me, behind you
These are every word unspoken
This is our way home
Been reading up on Detroit-style pizza of late and I have decided I have to try it. I ordered my pans last week; hopefully they will be here by this weekend.
The main differences between Detroit and Sicilian are the pans used to bake them and the arrangement of the cheese around the edges. Detroits are made with the cheese pushed up against the sides of the pan so it caramelizes and gets crunchy.
To be continued.
Anyone that knows me knows I am very deep into baking bread though I am not afraid to step out of my comfort zone and make the occasional dessert.
My son has decided to follow. He is already better at making layer cakes, he churns out cookies almost weekly, and he is often poring through cookbooks looking for more things to make to fatten the family. He is an accomplished pie maker - bake-off coming this summer.
There is some promise there. I have not worked with this one but will give it a look. I do not mind writing rules - I am a decent coder and know my way around regex rules and whatnot. Syntax looks a little odd for procmail but not difficult.
Thanks for the recommend.
Sounds like a project to me
It may come to that, actually. What I have that works well under Windows is SpamEater Pro, a stand-alone mail application that can download message headers from the pop server, delete them, put them back and more. It works with blacklists as well as regex, whitelist and blacklist filters. The one thing it does not do is statistical analysis, and so far that's not really a concern though it would be a nice to have.
Since it has been discontinued, there's no easy way to make it work under Wine as it requires activation. I captured the registry entries and so I can install it over and over, but that does not really help in an emulated environment where double-click on a registry file is not available.
So I now have two computers running at home, one running Linux and one running Windows 10. The Linux machine is my “everything but email” system. The Windows system serves one single purpose – filtering my email for me.
I never liked Multiply though it was well-suited for a social group. I was a little surprised when it went away - seems like the company decided it just wasn't interested in social media anymore.
I read your entries when you post. I don't comment often, but I do read.
... barely anyone is still reading this, right?
;-)
At least I think so...
Yes, I know. I know the very large majority have left here. At this point I am not even sure where they went anymore. Google+ was the last known location and I just wasn't into the site. I heard rumors that Google was going to kill off G+ due to lack of popularity, but I am not sure if that was true or not. Anyway, I have a suspicion that some still lurk as I have done. If anyone chooses to comment, that's fine with me. If not, I have my entries here for safe-keeping regardless. I was never one of the "popular kids" anyway.
I never left Firefox.
I never completely abandoned it either. It was not my primary browser for a while because of performance issues I was seeing on some sites. Those issues seem to be gone now.
I have been using the Opera browser for quite some time. It has worked well for me about 95% of the time and when it has not I have always had FireFox loaded so I could keep moving. That has just come to a complete end.
I should make some. I rarely do...
I have been doing more bread baking, but not as much as I used to when I posted more. I have been getting more consistent with it now. It's still very relaxing.
It has been forever since I have posted here. Well, 3+ years anyway. Slashdot has worked hard to drive away the user base, but even so I am still here, plodding along (quietly most of the time).
Are you able to read the site at all or is the problem just at the login? It's possible that there is a denial of service attack somewhere in between and your IP is in a block that has been blacked out from the server or servers that permit logins. One thing you can try with your laptop - move to a different network and see if it follows you. Also, you could try going through a proxy.
