CRUX installation cheatsheet
Posted: 2021-07-24 Filed under: system | Tags: CRUX, install 1 CommentSince the last couple of months, I’ve been taking an interest in CRUX. I used this Linux distribution some 10 years ago and I really liked how the system was organized. It has a very nice handbook, which is a must during the installation. I decided to simply collect all steps I took in a “cheatsheet”, very similar to what can be already found in their wiki, as “Quick Install Reference”.

Chrome support for ftp sites
Posted: 2021-05-01 Filed under: network | Tags: flags, ftp, google chrome Leave a commentI’ve been updating my SlackBuilds for -current and noticed something quite strange. Whenever I needed to check for new sources, if the tarball was hosted on an ftp site, Chrome would refuse to open it. I searched a bit and it seems Chrome has dropped ftp support by default.
