Re: [ SOLVED ] best password manager
I recently switched from Keepass to Bitwarden and I'm really happy with it. The change-over was seamless and everything works really well, much better than my old setup. I'm currently using the free version of Bitwarden, which does everything I need, but I might upgrade to the $10 a year version jus...

Re: Programming as a hobby
While I would definitely recommend Python for a newbie to try although I have trouble bringing myself to use it for my own hobby work.

Re: Update your computer!
I don't understand why anybody wouldn't keep their computer updated. I wonder if they also keep their doors unlocked at night. :? Some people subscribe to the " If it ain't broke then don't fix it " principle. Unfortunately with something as complicated as software it's often difficult to...

Re: Print shop alternative -SOLVED
I don't think there's anything available for Linux that comes anywhere close to what PrintShop offers. It's basically a desktop publishing program but it comes with thousands of templates for everything imaginable that you're likely to ever want to print (greeting cards, calendars, certificates, ban...

Re: Is support for floppy drives gone?
Sure the floppy is readable. It is possible with worn out drives to have a drive write a floppy that wont be read by another floppy drive as its a little off, but the offset works for that drive in the old computer. Try a floppy you know in the past has worked on that specific drive to confirm. OP ...

Re: Nostalgia gaming
I really should find the time to try and get one of my old favourite games running with DOSBox: Omega The game puts the player in the role of a cyber-tank designer and programmer. Given a limited budget, the player must design a tank that can defeat a series of ever more challenging opponent tanks. ...

That looks very nice to me. But I don't want to change distro just to get that look.

Re: How to download only PDFs from a URL?
Rather than trying to download each Mark Twain book as a separate PDF, why not try to find a collection of Mark Twain books that have been collected into a single file? You can download The Complete Works of Mark Twain as a single PDF . There's also The Entire Project Gutenberg Works of Mark Twain
