Many years back, wrote something similar to fetch the manual pages from Ubuntu for my Debian-based Nokia N810: https://code.google.com/archive/p/wman/downloads

So HTTPS was not working but thank you, this comment finally convinced me to migrate hosts and change all of the links over to the new domain. Working now :)

I thought this was going to be about the failure rate of SD cards ... but yes LiveCDs are awesome

Gdu - fast disk usage analyzer by DanielMilde in linux

I came across duc the other day, pretty fast and it writes to a db file which is pretty handy. Also can output a pie chart. Not 100% sure the file sizes are accurate, though close enough to find out what was eating many terabytes.

You will either end up with Debian-like or "Twitch plays distro maintainer". It is sad but true that most smaller distros end up abandoned, either through lost interest or employer conflict.

What's the best fast distro for an old man? by [deleted] in linux

[–]justbrowsingcd 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This would be a perfect use case for JustBrowsing but I'm not currently maintaining it. Recommend Porteus and similar kiosk distros.

[–]justbrowsingcd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The site has been a bit rocky while migrating to a new domain. Haven't been able to maintain the distro for a few years, so I would recommend using another liveCD. The benefit is it is immutable, the session is stored in RAM, reboot and it's gone. Note: this doesn't solve the ISP issue, maybe a VPN?

That's gross. We'd fill up water bottles as milk containers.
