You can use Wine on Puppy Linux to run Amazon Kindle. Install Wine using Puppy Package Manager or a compatible PET package, then download the Kindle for PC installer and run it with Wine.

To play Steam games on Puppy Linux, you must install some dependencies, like 32-bit libraries, for compatibility. Once set, you can install Steam through Wine or a compatibility layer like Proton. Remember, though, that Puppy might struggle with resource-heavy games like Warzone. Just a heads-up ...

I recently had a similar situation where I unarchived a folder, and it felt like I was drowning in new files. Unfortunately, you can’t really target bold filenames with a bash script since that’s just how the file manager shows them. A good workaround is to look for files based on when they were ...

I ran into a similar issue when I was working on a project that involved file conversions. What worked for me was using a combination of date and $RANDOM in my shell script to create unique temporary filenames. Here’s a simple way to do it: you can set your filename like this: filename="tempfile ...

The command you're using is sending the output of inxi to nc, but you need to capture the URL from nc instead. Try this:
rxvt --hold -e sh -c "inxi -Fxzzr | nc termbin.com 9999 > /tmp/report.txt"
This way, you're running a shell command that pipes the output of inxi through nc and directly into ...

Just a tip tho—switch to git instead of tarballs, it'll make version control way easier as your projects get bigger.

Also, if you're tryna save on dev tools, check out saas discounts. They've got discounts on SaaS stuff that might help cut costs on the software you need.

Instead of vim-puppet, try using Leafpad or Geany; they're lightweight and easy to use. If you want Vim, check if the full vim package is available.

To set up Vietnamese input, check the keyboard settings and look for “Input Method.” You might need to install IBus or fcitx for support. Add Vietnamese from there.

If Xsane isn’t working for you, you might want to try using OCR software like Tesseract or gImageReader. They’re pretty effective at converting scanned images to editable text.

I’ve run into similar issues with OpenOffice before. When installing from .deb files, the dpkg -i *.deb command can fail if dependencies aren’t installed. After running that command, try using sudo apt --fix-broken install to resolve any missing packages. This should clean up any errors that are ...

I’ve used Exodus in the past, but I’ve always been cautious about security. It’s a reminder that no wallet is 100% safe if you’re not careful. I make sure to enable all security features, like 2FA, and always store my recovery phrase offline. The crypto space is full of risks, so staying vigilant is ...

At long last, I've been able to work out what makes the difference! I'm still not quite sure what's happening behind the scenes, but happy to mark this as resolved for now.

I don't have wifi at home. Instead, I tether my phone (Moto G5) via USB cable. On this model, I need to manually enable USB ...

Haha, love the disclaimers! Thanks for sharing your experience and workaround for setting up a Ventoy system as a Frugal Puppy install. I can imagine how frustrating it must have been to figure this out, but I appreciate your persistence and willingness to share your knowledge with the community. I ...

Yeah, I get it. I was just being a bit paranoid, I suppose. Thanks for putting things into perspective, jamesbond and mikeslr. And ozsouth, I appreciate your transparency about this .pet.

Did you know that people can sue CrowdStrike? There are several already mentioned here. Bad luck on them.

I wonder what goes in your mind when you go on and put something outthere but can't trust it enough so you put "use at your own risk", I think it's better to not use it at all

At some point a company must make a subscription to get rid of subscriptions? I mean there would definietly be an audience for that service

Nice to see you are able to make such decisions

Sorry for necroing, but that's why I use temporary phone numbers. By using disposable numbers for account verification, you create a barrier between your personal phone and potential attackers. If an OTP or verification call is received unexpectedly, it's a clear indication of a potential security ...

Just wanted to share a handy tip for handling carriage return input in sed. If you're encountering carriage return characters (\r) in your input and want to remove them, you can use the following sed command:
sed 's/\r//g' input_file > output_file
This command will effectively strip out all carriage ...

For the flashrom error, try running the utility as an administrator and temporarily disabling antivirus software.

Regarding the FreeDOS issue, ensure the BIOS update file is in the same directory as the utility and in an accepted format.

If it still doesn't work, check your motherboard's ...

I make it a habit to regularly clean my PC, including the fans, because I've seen firsthand the impact it can have on temperature and noise levels.

At our office in Lafayette, we take it a step further. We have a cleaning service, Going Green Cleaning , that comes in weekly to make sure all our ...

A PNM file is actually a portable anymap format used for images, not specifically printer files. You can open it with various image viewers or editing software. Completing a print won't give you back the original file, unfortunately. If it's your only copy, you might want to look into file recovery ...

Have you tried checking the System Profiler on your MacBook? It might give you some details about the wireless card. Also, there are some reliable websites where you can search for hardware specs based on your MacBook's model number.

It's good that you are cautious with the emails you receive. Emails can easily trigger viruses or malfunctions of software that will damage your computer or, even worse, steal your data. You can verify the email to ensure it's not a scam in this situation. I have the same routine whenever I receive ...

I like Yahoo Mail. I have used it for some time now.

From what I recall, the personal storage size limit is usually set by the system. You might need to dig into some advanced settings or maybe even try a different tool to resize it beyond the 4 GB limit.

Have you checked BIOS settings or tried different USB ports?

Oh, FreeSpoke, huh? I've been hearing bits and pieces about it. Kinda like when you're searching for that one tool that might give your site the edge. Honestly, adding it to Firefox doesn't sound like a bad move. It's like, why not? I'm all for throwing in a bit of variety to see what sticks.
