[07:49] schestowitz I try not to change the OS too much. Any change MIGHT introduce unwanted (to you) behaviour. My wife and I use Debian 10, which is supported for 5 years. On a second machine we use Debian 11. [07:50] schestowitz > Think it was 18.0 Sara. [07:50] schestowitz You can try another desktop environment of it... if the latest changes don't suit your workflow. We use KDE.

[13:56] *u-amarsh04 has quit (Quit: Konversation terminated!) ● Feb 19 [14:04] Techrights-sec I was just going to ask about that script. I had been checking to see that [14:04] Techrights-sec no lockfiles got left around nor defunct scripts. You are probably right about [14:04] Techrights-sec the timeouts. However, without them the script eventually hangs due to [14:04] Techrights-sec poor http connectivity to TR [14:09] schestowitz-TR I think that at this stage even if there are update delays it's not a very critic [14:09] schestowitz-TR al issue; I could alter tc config, but that might in turn slow down or increase [14:09] schestowitz-TR latency of some other thing [14:09] schestowitz-TR should I try now\? [14:09] schestowitz-TR BTW, I have added a draft just now (video uploading) [14:12] Techrights-sec given the situation with the http connectivity to and on TR the only way to be [14:12] Techrights-sec sure is to run the scrip manually and watch it succeed or fail [14:12] Techrights-sec ack [14:12] Techrights-sec Sat 19 Feb 14:07:54 GMT 2022 [14:12] Techrights-sec unclosed CDATA section at line 5917, column 122, byte 523319 at /usr/lib/arm-linu [14:12] Techrights-sec x-gnueabihf/perl5/5.32/XML/Parser.pm line 187.
