Not Quite OT: ebook readers?
by Beartooth 01 Jan '18

01 Jan '18

Onnellista Uutta Voutta! ( = Happy New Year!, I hope.) What software do people here favor for reading ebooks? I have a little System76 netbook ("starling" model) which I bought several years ago (and immediately converted to Fedora) for doing email in waiting rooms. But the ones I wait in are getting so efficient that I often don't even get to their wi-fi before my wait is over. So I usually just carry a book with a good bookmark; but I guess that would also be a place to try reading an ebook -- and there are vast numbers of them out there ... -- Beartooth Staffwright, Not Quite Clueless Power User Remember I know little (precious little!) of where up is.

Has anyone found a scheme for displaying data from remote weather sensors on a Fedora computer? I have several such remote devises that I would like to display on my desktop computer. Any suggestions or thoughts appreciated, Bob -- Bob Goodwin - Zuni, Virginia, USA http://www.qrz.com/db/W2BOD box10 FEDORA-27/64bit LINUX XFCE Fastmail POP3

choices for reliable, secure browser for fedora 27 and beyond?
by Robert P. J. Day 01 Jan '18

currently running fedora 27 on my asus laptop, and i've previously whined about how cripplingly slow the firefox browser is, to the point where i had to kill it and restart it several times a day (memory leak?). more recently, it simply locks up my entire system, typically within only minutes of my starting it, to the point where i've bailed on it and switched to chrome. at this point, since i'm not wedded to any particular browser, i'm open to suggestions for a simple, fast, reliable and secure browser for fedora. of course there is always opera (which i haven't used in quite some time so i have no idea how well that fits the bill). and if i choose to stick with chrome, i just ran across what looks like a hardened version of it, iridium: https://iridiumbrowser.de/downloads/fedora i'm sure there are other possibilities, so i'm open to suggestions. i really wish i knew why firefox was treating me so badly, but i've given up trying to figure it out and just want to move on. rday -- ======================================================================== Robert P.
