I corrected make.conf, ran emptytree, and then updated the |
| 9 |
backup/successor machine. The warnings were now 66 days since last sync. |

The backup runs behind the main desktop, so I seem to have caught the |
| 11 |
problem in time on this machine. After the update, X runs OK with |
| 12 |
window titles showing every letter, and no warnings about libpcre. All |
| 13 |
is good. |

The backup machine will be updated once a month "whether it needs it |
| 16 |
or not". Generally the same for my main desktop, but... I have Netflix |
| 17 |
which requires Google-Chrome, which will beg for updates at random |
| 18 |
intervals, so the main machine will have extra updates. Pale Moon is my |
| 19 |
"daily driver" web browser. Google-Chrome is for Netflix only. |

I've seen things, you people wouldn't believe; Gopher, Netscape with |
| 23 |
frames, the first Browser Wars. Searching for pages with AltaVista, |
| 24 |
pop-up windows self-replicating, trying to uninstall RealPlayer. All |
| 25 |
those moments, will be lost in time like tears in rain... time to die. |
