Does anything other than SMS 2FA actually work in Linux Mint?

My web host intends to introduce 2FA authentication for clients soon so I have tried to find a solution. Many authentication tools are designed for Windows or smartphone apps and require the ability to read a QR code to register a URL. I have no smartphone and use a desktop computer. Has anyone foun...

Thanks for your reply xenopeek. I had already switched to a local mirror before I saw your reply and firefox updated successfully.

Update manager fails to update Virginia Firefox to version 123 with this error:

The Register reports that long-term support for Linux kernels is about to get a lot shorter. https://www.theregister.com/2023/09/26/ ... port_2023/ . How will this affect Linux Mint and anyone who uses LTS versions?

I suggest you read this interesting article from The Register which describes one person's alarming experience with ChatGPT:

Thanks for your reply AndyMH. I am not using rsync just a simple BASH script with a matching script to restore to another computer.. As I understand it rsync --delete only works on directories rather than individual files within directories. I am backing-up a few files from various different directo...

I have a simple BASH script I use for regularly backing-up important files from my computer to a USB drive. The problem is that files that have been deleted on the computer remain on the USB drive unless I manually delete them from there. I would like to amend the script to automatically delete file...

I don't understand the issue over the word zombie, that is the status that system monitor shows for firefox.bin, nemo and system monitor after closing Firefox. I did see a new status for firefox-bin the last time. It was described as "uninterruptible". My system monitor app in LM20.3 does...

The cost to an individual tax payer is about £1.50 a year these days which is not exactly extortionate. That goes to cover costs of official duties only, the royals have their own income streams from businesses and properties which they also have to pay tax on like the rest of us. So it's now at th...

antikythera : Good to see some recommendations for Wales.

I decided to not do an upgrade now and instead did a fresh install of Mint 21 on a test computer. My two Windows programs are both 32bit and I found that installation of wine32-preloader was necessary before successfully installing the programs with wine. (This is not installed by wine-installer.) M...

Mint 21 has a later version of wine than Mint 20.3. Does the upgrade tool handle this successfully? Do 32bit Windows programs continue to work as in Mint 20.3?

Yes, wait for the announcement about the upgrade procedure.

I also have a NAS with common storage for some of my accounts. I would like to move those keys around from computer to computer. Where are the OAuth2 keys stored and can they be moved to different directories and/or other computers. I am also assuming that since I have multiple gmail accounts I jus...
