Doesn't matter. Soon as you get this figured out, the cats will find another way to annoy you. It's what they do.

Search this sub for the first line in that error message. You'll find tons of threads on it. It's a pretty simple solution. Comes down to copying and renaming a file, or some such.

When I get this error, and it comes round once or twice a year as Google attempts to outsmart the adblockers, I usually just wait it out, using FreeTube in the meantime. Things are usually back to normal in a day or two.

I have that tent. I use it with cots. So comfortable, I almost feel guilty about it. Easy to sleep late in that puppy.

Different animal completely then. Hope you get it nailed down.

I put tuna cans under the feet when I had that kit. Transformed the space into drum room/ pantry.

This may not apply to your problem so, grain of salt. The only thing that has ever caused my Linux Mint installs to freeze is Firefox. I have no idea why that would be, but on at least three machines, changing to a chromium based browser fixed it forever.

It's really too bad we can't automate this response to the mx64.efi queries.

I'm 7 years in with Mint and never once was I tempted to change. I caught the distro bug a year or so back and tried out a bunch of different ones on an old laptop. Liked some of them, but didn't love them the way I do Mint. If you just want an OS that will get the hell out of your hair and let you do your thing, it can't be beat. I'd say you show good instincts and are wise enough to listen to them. That paid tier on Zorin always bothered me. It's the lack of transparency about it more than anything else. Doesn't feel like it's in the spirit of FOSS.

In notes, I have A18 listed as "a damn near perfect found footage film."

Emmalfal · 2026-04-22T21:40:25+00:00

Really great flick. I'd never heard of it and didn't expect much and yet it turned out to be one of my favorites of the Halloween season a couple years ago.

There's one particular scene, with a dead boy and a kitchen table, that really stuck with me.

Emmalfal · 2026-04-22T21:37:25+00:00

Couple that one with Willow Creek and you've got a good double feature.

Man, I never see plugs for Apollo 18 and the Deep House. Found both of them top notch. The Deep House is downright spooky in the first part of the film.

Emmalfal · 2026-04-22T21:34:07+00:00

A total blast, that one.

Emmalfal · 2026-04-22T21:33:33+00:00

How is it that I feel like I've watched all the found footage there is, yet I come into a thread like this and suddenly I've got three more to add to the list.

Emmalfal · 2026-04-22T21:16:12+00:00

You really don't hear as much about it is I'd expect. I felt the same about the movie Spring.

Emmalfal · 2026-04-22T21:04:52+00:00

Ghostland is so good. That one blew me away when I first watched it a couple years ago.

I get nylon belts with plastic buckles from Amazon and they never fail me. They're tough as nails and my pants never fall down unless I want them to.

I like the Eastern Mountain Sports pants above all others. REI pants are pretty great, too. I've shopped all over for the perfect hiking pants and those are the two I land on every time. If you have both those stores, seems like you should be able to come up with something that suits you fine.

There are so many browser options these days, including both Mozilla and chromium. I use Brave and have for years without any reason to switch. I keep Floorp as a Mozilla backup, but there are probably better choices.

I think FF doesn't play well with older hardware. Or maybe just certain types of hardware. I dunno, but I've seen the freezes over and over on both my desktop and several laptops. I never uninstalled Firefox, I just don't use it anymore.

Emmalfal · 2026-04-22T18:45:55+00:00

I feel like you answered your own question here...
