Where does TDE store its mime-type information?

by J Leslie Turriff

Once again, missing application/octet-stream has revisited me. Where does TDE store this information, and is there a way to lock that particular entry so that it doesn't disappear now and again? There must be a bug somewhere in TDE's mime handling routines that causes it to delete this entry when one is adding other entries to the table, but I haven't a clue as to which component a bug report should be opened...

not a huge problem, but probably a bug

by dep

Greets, everybody . . . I'm pretty sure that this is a bug, one that has survived a decade or more. If you open the game "Shisen-sho" and click to call the "Game" menu, the resulting menu is *enormous.* It works, but it is *enormous*.

Trinity IRC - konversation - onion connection

by William Morder

Something weird, good for a laugh. The server irc.libera.chat and its variants bans me even before I figure out how to join any IRC room. It seemed strange, but a little searching finds out that it is my ISP (not myself) that is blocked, for maintaining an open proxy server: I was referred to some page that gave my IP as 170.39.170.101, so I did a whois lookup, and yup, that address goes back to my ISP, monkeybrains. They have tor servers at: 209.141.41.225 209.141.56.96 209.185.120.173 In an earlier post, under some other topic, I mentioned this. Of course I block all these IP addresses myself, since I don't know why my ISP would maintain Tor servers (for surveillance, or just to be helpful?), but it seems inherently insecure to use these tor servers. Thus I am forced to run Konversation or some other IRC client over Tor. If "they" (whoever "they" are, "out there") wish to prevent bad things from happening on the internet, all it does it encourage more people to use onion links, which is probably good for us users, but maybe not what "they" intended. I did already look up the pages about how to set it up. I created my own self-signed certificate, copied it to the appropriate places, but now I am stumped. I found instructions here for setting up Konversation: https://libera.chat/guides/certfp.html but it might be intended for KDE5's version of Konversation, not for TDE. Also I went through these pages: https://libera.chat/guides/connect#accessing-liberachat-via-tor Other IRC clients, so far, are less user-friendly than Konversation, and I like to stick with Trinity where possible. Also still trying to figure out SASL, and cannot find the public key. I don't know if this is for irc.libera.chat or palladium.libera.chat (which is what their webpage says to use). I followed instructions to configure torrc to use the onion link, but so far no luck. I assume that there must be something basic that I am missing. I've used lots of chat clients like Kopete and Psi-Plus and Pidgin (and Trillian, in Windoze), so I know how to get them to do what I want, but I've never used IRC. Neither Kopete nor Psi-Plus seem to work for me, and ksirc left me unenthusiastic, but I am willing to try whatever works. Any help or suggestions or links are welcome. Bill

3 Reasons To Pursue Information Technology As A Career

by ethanjacktaylor949＠gmail.com

Informational technology is one of the best and in-demand industries in the world. However, students often get worried about the assignments related to information technology, and they compose poor assignments because they shy away from asking for <a href="https://myassignmenthelp.com/oxford-referencing.php">Oxford Referencing Guide</a>. Moreover, students often do not know which course to pursue after finishing school, so they must perform deep research before getting through a course. Here are the top three reasons to pursue this course: 1.Variety in the career choice If you pursue IT management, you can have different career opportunities like computer network architect, database administrator and many more. In addition, you can choose other options and become successful in them. During your college degree course, you need to write a dissertation about IT, and for that, you can seek help online with phrases like <a href="https://myassignmenthelp.com/au/cdr/cdr-engineers-australia.html">CDR Engineers Australia</a>. Once you type this phrase, you can find several online dissertation writing services that can help you prepare a winning dissertation in a short time. 2.Practical course where you can perceive what you are studying Informational technology management course is a combination of theoretical and practical study. You have to study both case studies and do practical work, so you need to understand the applicability of the concepts through real-life examples. The things you learn through practical work and case studies help you learn the information quicker than other forms, and it remains in mind for a longer time. While working on the case studies and assignments, you can find some areas which are difficult to understand; you can opt for an online service to get solutions for those areas by searching for <a href="https://myassignmenthelp.com/cheap-assignment-help.html">Cheap Assignment Help</a>. 3.The course entails problem-solving skills With the advancement in technology and changing environment, companies are always aware of it, and they look for a candidate who is skilled in the latest technology. You can also take <a href="https://myassignmenthelp.com/au/perth-essay-assignment-writers-help.html">Assignment Help Perth</a>. Therefore, it is important to know how to increase your thinking process and face all obstacles without dropping your objective. Therefore, this course focuses on enhancing problem-solving skills. The above-mentioned points can help students have a clear understanding of information technology. Ref: https://gitlab.wacren.net/snippets/1250

stupid question - where's the public key?

by William Morder

When I search for "public key Trinity Desktop Environment" or the like, I get nothing useful. I assume that this is something different from the trinity keyring for the package repositories. I tried to connect to #trinity-desktop on IRC (using their onion link), but I get this message: [15:26] [Info] Looking for server libera75jm6of4wxpxt4aynol3xjmbtxgfyjpu34ss4d7r7q2v5zrpyd.onion:6697...

Please see https://libera.chat/guides/connect#accessing-liberachat-via-tor for configuration assistance.) I did already look up these pages: https://libera.chat/guides/connect#accessing-liberachat-via-tor https://libera.chat/guides/certfp.html but I am still missing something here. If I recall, no password is required for the IRC group, and I followed what Nik and Slavek said, SSL connection on port 6697. #trinity-desktop irc.libera.chat:6697 Also, do I need to register my user name somewhere? The default default is my own system user name, which I don't want, so I created a new identity. Here is their onion address, if anybody else wants to try it: libera75jm6of4wxpxt4aynol3xjmbtxgfyjpu34ss4d7r7q2v5zrpyd.onion Any help is appreciated. Bill

Actually, that last one was just such an email, and this one, too, even though it *looks* like a reply. I created a new email, and filled in all the fields by hand. Also there were two others that I sent you: one beginning "I fell asleep" and the other "And a little P.S.", where I prematurely declared that Gene's reference headers appeared in both those emails. (It did in the first, so naturally I assumed that it would be repeated in the second.) That small detail doesn't support blaming my templates, and it makes no sense that two emails, created in the same way, contain those big differences. Bill

test email 2 - TDE mailing list template

by William Morder

Responding to Slavek's request for another test email, this one using the template that I created for the mailing list. I had to retrieve it from my trash folder. Before sending this (that is, at this moment, as I write these words), there is no reference to Gene's address or anything else that looks amiss. I viewed the source before sending, which I append here below. As you can see, no reference to Gene here.

Re: email mess - maybe OT or not

by William Morder

And a little P.S. I created these last two emails from scratch, not a reply, not a template, filled in all the fields with my own two reasonably clean hands, and I *still* get Gene's email address in the reference headers. Another email sent out to a friend only a couple days ago (completely unrelated) contains no references to Gene on the TDE list, nor to person B. So it definitely seems to have some connection to the TDE mailing list. If so, then how and why? Bill
