Spring arrives tomorrow but winterlike weather is holding on (although the snow has gone away.) This rather pathetic image was taken with an old DSLR from 2008 and an even older 12-24 Tokina DX lens from 2004. These old pieces of kit still work great for still photography. I can take the D90, the Tokina and a Tamron 18-200 lens and I am all set for a photo shoot - providing I avoid video and don't mind carrying around a couple of kilos of stuff. This old photo equipment gives me as much joy as my junker laptop collection.

Although the requirements for 32bit Windows systems will remain unchanged, following are the planned changes from the Pale Moon announcement: If your Windows CPU is too old, you can uninstall the 64bit version of Pale Moon and install the 32bit version. Linux users will need to check if your distro is planning to make less optimized community builds available.

Well it looks like Arch made a change a while back where your trim service now runs ftrim. Whenever I initially set it up, it was running Trim not Ftrim

On my system it's called fstrim.service which fstrim.timer runs trim once a week ie. periodic trim. discard runs trim constantly ie. continuous trim. They do the same thing - run trim. You say you have both. Periodic trim is redundant if you have continuous trim, but periodic trim is default in most distros now so discard is not needed.

Yeah you posted that you use the discard option, which does trim. You also posted this un-named systemd service which uses So I am still baffled

Two? I just used TRIM by itself as it was suggested years ago when people worried about SSD write times.

I'm a tad baffled as to why you use two trim programs. Both are easily set up, though the systemd one is just a smidge easier. As to ssd's wearing out for most of us we would probably never live long enough to wear one out no matter how hard we tried as we do not have that large a through put.Remember the post about the trial to run a set of ssd's to death, even the cheapest ones would have still been running long enough for your great grandchildren to use.

As an ostensibly older person, I've come to realise this is how progress works. -

discard option in fstab forces trim to be run for every write operation. This is inefficient and unnecessary, and causes faster degradation of the SSD. Using fstrim.service and timer is preferred. @securitybreach so do you have discard in fstab and run the periodic trim?

Ah ha righty ho . I have found over the years that once I bork Window Maker it either takes an inordinate amount of time to sort it or it never gets sorted and I have to start again. This` file is mentioned elsewhere ~/.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini but I do not have one at all. I did not have a ~/.config/gtk-3.0/gtk.css one either . I made one of those as I knew it was zim specific. Not at all sure how that .ini file would react with my set up. Later on I will have another look at this but am too busy getting the new install right. I did an awful lot of fiddling on the last install and it is taking me some time to sort out what was useful and what is total rubbish. Once I have a decent clean set up and a backup made I might start fiddling again/, but in a more scientific way rather that the gung ho method I have been using. Changing the colours I have is a simple cut and paste of colour codes, hard part is choosing.

Yup the Arch one looks just like yours.
