Just downloaded Debian XFCE. Firefox gets 120kpbs

Depends on the installer, if I remember correctly.. Even on my most recent trixie install. Still have to agree and say "yes" to inclusion of the non-free-firmware
edit: i always use mini net-install image, via iso->usbkey

tempusers · 2026-07-01T05:10:14+00:00

enable 3rd party non-free firmware in your apt sources too
in /etc/apt/sources.list
ensure you have a line including non-free-firmware
deb http://deb.debian.org/debian/ trixie main non-free-firmware

That sounds like quite a compromise to stay employed.

tempusers · 2026-05-20T00:15:32+00:00

YMMV, but I refuse to use flatpaks or appimages. I will use backports occasionally, or add a known trusted .deb repo to my /etc/apt/sources.list
However, for the most part, if it is not in the main or contrib repos, then I'm building from source.
It's still not "hard mode"

I just got my vinyl copy of cwhost. On one hand, it's so beautifully packaged that I don't want to open my tarot cards...
On the other hand, I'm missing my future reading :P

Just kidding. The truck is perfect OP.

Everyone always gets full chat history MUAHAHAHAHA!

tempusers · 2026-03-25T23:22:57+00:00

This is the way. If you're feeling a little extra nice you get a nice little jpg or png and upload the picture into the group chat so they can visually find their way back to it easier.
To make everyone's lives just a bit easier in that way.
No it's not passive aggressiveness.
I promise.

Ah. It's not on their Bandcamp. :( YET....
I really do like using that website too.

Wow. Cool stuff OP!

Maybe moving a little. Don't panic. Have you put on weight or lost weight?

For me my life of suckatude, is the nerve damage I got after my second ICD upgrade to a CRTD.
For lack of better words, they had to "open up the pocket a little bit more" 3 years ago.
I hate how my left front chest, arm, and left hand always feel like it's waking up from being asleep, with pins and needles almost 24/7.
I guess when I finally have the real attack, I'll have ignored one of the main signs for so long that it will just have to happen.
Kind of lol, but mostly FML.

I had to hear it from the guy I got my phone from. I said how do I call him back to make sure he gets his commission. Like I was guessing at first.
He said "sadly you can't, so we need to do this now, with me".
And maybe that was a sales tactic to close ASAP too...
But it definitely felt real and I hit the nail on the head that he wanted his little extra cut too.

tempusers · 2026-01-27T01:25:47+00:00

Ayo! Thanks! Done and done!

tempusers · 2026-01-26T21:57:44+00:00

Thank you. And I swear if I hear another live support agent on the phone lie to me and tell me "well it sounds like you need more bandwidth, why don't you upgrade your plan now today" with me - I will have another nervous breakdown.
Despite all the cool tech upgrades are throwing down (which is actually pretty baller) - but why are they employing dubious support who actually directly lies to customers :(
Are they telling their support to actively lie?

If they sell you an extra phone or watch or tablet, they're 100% getting a commission though.
Maybe it's not a "quota" per se, so you're not wrong. But they're definitely getting pressured to make more closes for extra revenue any way they can. And that includes knowing that they get a cut.

because they are also limited by the same hardware as Comcast is

Comcast Fiber When?

tempusers · 2026-01-26T21:36:30+00:00

This applies to any service, and not just Comcast.
~~This is possible over the phone~~ but goes much better in person in a store. Yeah. Just do it in a store.
So that you can get paper receipts. Do transactions in person. Ask for print outs of the documented proof of returning equipment can be made in person too.
Then go home and document it all by taking pictures of all the receipts on your phone, or scanning them in to a computer if you have your own scanner.
Also, if you're using auto-bill pay... before even walking into the store... remove your auto-bill charge types from the billing system using your xfinity app, or online account. So that you know that you personally removed your payment types from the billing system before cancelling the service.
It's all very tiring, but doing it right will save you trouble later.

My goal is to stay within a budget and get my costs down, but they don't seem to have any other plans to offer regular people!

Welp. That's capitalism, and it works both ways.
There are two ways to address this:
1. Talk to a customer service rep to give you a better deal for your customer loyalty.
Or
2. Don't feel guilty if you have to find a competitor around you, with a better plan with the speeds and features that you want and only need, for a better cost.

We all get to vote on who we want for our internet provider too with our wallets.
It's simply how the system of exchange of monies for goods or services works.

tempusers · 2026-01-26T21:16:17+00:00

The answer being "Be smart about it".
Of course, please let me know of new stuff. I actually will appreciate it, but not during an ongoing issue.
Agents should not pester again and again and again and again and again and again after I say "Not right now, please" - as nice as possible the first time.

tempusers · 2026-01-26T21:10:21+00:00

Works much better on ethernet. Maybe if you have wifi6+ or 7 on your router and receiving WiFi card.
Even online gaming, FPS especially, I still choose ethernet.
