More chromium woes

Man my chromium browser has been giving me a lot of grief lately. Two times so far I needed to reboot to fix the problem. This is the third time and rebooting is always such a hassle. :(

More chromium woes

So it seems that my trouble with chromium is not over. Today a new twist. Thank God I still have Firefox! I will try updating and rebooting again, but can’t do that at the moment.

// 2023-11-22 jj5 – UPDATE: a reboot fixed this problem.

Linux web sites

Just some notes about web pages I was reading today.

Linux Journal articles

I had a read of a few Linux Journal articles today. Easy reads that give you a high level view of what’s available:

New books

Ordered on Amazon today:

I’m not sure what to make of the fact that these books are nearly 20 years old… totally out of date, but all that is available? What’s up with that?

Netfilter and iptables

This evening I read the iptables man page and Linux iptables Pocket Reference from cover-to-cover; my notes are here: Netfilter.

I think at this point I am ready to use iptables in anger for the first time in a long time, and the first time ever on a router.

However, before I take that on, I’m going to have a quick diversion into the following books, and then sleep, and I will do my iptables programming when I wake up tomorrow.

Hardware debugging

Read a bunch of stuff about hardware debugging. Learned a thing or two, but I have much further to go!
