I've never used wget but this prompted my curiosity as I use a local server to build websites offline. I googled wget and used a couple of examples to try it out on a Wordpress website. Haha, great. Even a newb can occasionally open a veteran's eyes to something every now and then. :) True. I did a...

I am trying to download part of a webpage using wget. Ultimately, I would like to get an offline version of the website to view on a Mac. But, I'm totally off track/ lost on the basics. I've never used wget but this prompted my curiosity as I use a local server to build websites offline. I googled ...

I'm not sure about this Lunduke individual but I also don't think Google Fuchsia can be that easily written off. If it survives and develops such that it becomes desktop ready (for the masses) it may well be a future threat to Linux distros and Windows. I watched a recent video ( https://www.youtube...

Hi and welcome CarrotCake, Your reference to Darktable caught my eye and thought I'd mention a good Youtube channel for tutorials if DT is new to you: Bruce Williams at https://www.youtube.com/user/audio2u/videos It's a great app even though there's quite a learning curve the deeper you get into it....

Tuned into vintage radio from New York (3k miles away) at http://radio.garden/listen/wlng/nJWzMU3t.
Enjoying the random selection of records, occasionally corny, often cool

Antikythera's suggestion is the best/easiest option, but just for info I have a pair of Sennheiser 580s that I recently refurbished with new cable etc. On the cable connectors there's a small 'L' and an 'R' molded into the outer side of the black plastic where they plug into the headset - not easy t...

No idea what a 'Tech Yes Citizen' is, but thanks for those links. Have enjoyed listening on a decent set of headphones - some great musicians in there. Good to close eyes and let it take you along in the flow

In my early 60s so no idea when it'll be offered to me here in Ireland. Having said that, I'm not too bothered how long I have to wait on the basis it'll come along at some point anyway. My understanding is that even with the jab you still have to follow all the rules until mass vaccination complete...

Then I found on this page (https://launchpad.net/~elementary-os/+archive/ubuntu/stable), a way to manually add the PPA, but I got an error saying the command "deb" can't be found deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/elementary-os/stable/ubuntu Any ideas on how I might be able to build and install...

I guess for me the fact that Linux Mint, and afaik any other Linux distro, doesn't: - Log all apps that you open and send that info, along with the IP address that you opened it on, back to Apple servers, - Have the ability to remotely lock you out of apps on your own machine should they decide to ...

Is there any way to get an application from Elementary OS to work on Linux Mint? Specifically, these ones: https://nlaplante.github.io/envelope/ https://appcenter.elementary.io/com.github.matfantinel.reminduck/ https://appcenter.elementary.io/com.github.philip-scott.notes-up/ I can't confirm that t...

Heaven for me was a Power Macintosh 6500/275 Creative Studio Edition: 4 GB hard drive, 32 MB memory, 512 KB L2 cache, Avid Cinema card, Apple Video System, TV/FM Radio System. Importantly, it had a G3 upgrade on the daughterboard, and – more importantly – Mac OS 8.6. Pure heaven. Next best thing – ...

LM Cinnamon 19.3 here, in Nemo either go to 'File' and select 'New Window' or do CTR/N, or
if you want a second tab - 'File' / 'New Tab', or do CTR/T, or
if you want a split dual pane go to 'View" and select 'Extra Pane' or do F3.

This works for me on LM Cinnamon 19.3: Assuming Firefox is your default browser, go to the URL that you want a desktop icon for. When there, highlight the URL in the address bar and drag it on to your desktop. To rename the icon, right click on it and select 'Rename'. Maybe change it to something li...

I went looking through the files hoping to make this change, but of course it's mostly not six digits now but three and the transparency alpha. Is there a way of converting the six digits? Thanks. If I understand you correctly, you're looking to convert hex codes to their RGB equivalent. There's a ...

From what I understand, Apple may have updated it's safety information after the Heart Rhythm Society published a report that references the iPhone 12 specifically : ( https://www.heartrhythmjournal.com/article/S1547-5271(20)31227-3/fulltext ). The society drew attention to a circular array of magne...

Yes, I find using the mouse works. That's OK. Otherwise, I would be looking for another processor. Thanks! This is some test text created in Libre Office Writer (Version 7.0.4.2) running on LM 19.3 Cinnamon. Copied by highlighting in the LO document then using Ctr/C, and pasted into the LM forum us...

The other issue is manipulation that is done through data collection. As much as we all like to think that we are the most intelligent of people and are too smart to fall for manipulative tricks, we all do. And I think that is the real danger with 'lack of privacy'. Collecting data points on people...

This is a tough one Murph, and it's extra hard when there's geographical distance between you that can give a sense of helplessness. Your friend will need professional help and hopefully, if not alone, support and understanding from those around him. They too would benefit from professional advice, ...
