@bruces Yes. I'm astonished how they keep that machine going over all those decades, and I'm a programmer.

Science will admit when it's wrong.
Religion will kill to prove it's right.

Good morning.

@itsfoss I've been living the free life since 1999, and I'm not regretting a second of it.

- LibreOffice
@libreoffice I got it but almost each start (installed from DEBS on Ubuntu 20.04) tells me the previous run crashed, even though I close the program the usual way. Would you have an idea how to uncrash this?

1. A big shield with the text I guess we should retire the expression "avoid it like the plague" given how little effort people put into avoiding an actual plague...

1. By Roman Sharkov San Downloaded a virus for Linux lately and unpacked it. Tried to run it as root, didn't work. Googled for 2 hours, found out that instead of /usr/local/bin the virus unpacked to /usr/bin for which the user malware doesn't have any write permissions, therefore the virus couldn't create a process file. Found patched . configure and .make files on some Chinese forum, recompiled Tem Cee The virus said it needs the library cmalw-lib-2.0. Turns out cmalw-lib-2.0 is shipped with CentOS but not with Ubuntu. Googled for hours again and found an instruction to build a .deb package from source. The virus finally started, wrote some logs, made a core dump and crashed. After 1 hour of going through the logs | discovered the virus assumed it was running on ext4 and called into its disk encryption API. Under btrfs this API is deprecated. The kernel noticed and made this partition read-only. Opened the sources, grep'ed the Bitcoin wallet and sent $5 out of pity.
