Site Upgrades: Better Blogging!

I really have to say, I am absolutely impressed. Long have I been wanting some CMS to save me the hassle of building everything from scratch, but it always seemed that I’d try out something either beyond overbuilt, full of things I didn’t need and more importantly didn’t want.

WordPress seems to be the de-facto standard in this game, and for what it is, it is pretty good. But is isn’t for me.

WriteFreely seems quite different… we’ll see how things go!

Firefox is Crashing X.Org on my Thinkpad T400… Why?

X.Org

Only had the issue on my T400, but it was an issue under FreeBSD 13.4 /w the FireFox/FireFox ESR available from pkg… and the same darn thing is happening with Debian Bookworm. I’m wondering if the ancient Core 2 Duo is playing a role here… (tries to do X unsupported thing… & crash. ?)

Mostly when doing a search on google… and you click a link and BAM, back to the tty. (or login greeter screen)

Not the browser crashing either, when this happens it kills the whole X server. So not cool! Luckily I didn’t loose any work when this happened, and it has happened about half a dozen times or more. Saving frequently saves the day. I thought I was getting somewhere when I saw a post about trying to disable the HW acceleration option in FF preferences, and I did try. Unfortunately though, no luck.

Something did seem to work though, using the latest FF package from Mozilla. Here is an excellent, easy to follow cut & paste to get you the latest Firefox on Debian: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/install-firefox-linux

That got me to v 134, and the problem appears to be gone.

UPDATE: THE PROBLEM STILL HAPPENS on v 134 Sorry.
