So Ori Idan could not really ignore Diego's E-mail. Doing so could have been interpreted as admission of guilt (in the Court of Public Opinion). I agree that failing to prove a point is different from proving the opposite point. However, in more enlightened times, the courts in Israel used to work under the principle that a person is presumed to be innocent until proven otherwise. This is equivalent to: you failed to prove a point, so we assume the opposite point when we need to make decisions. Regrettably, the courts have not been following this principle in the case of Tair Rada's murder and presumably in other cases. I am old fashioned so I happen to prefer the traditional presumption of innocence, as long as is not abused by lawyers who nitpick the meaning of words in laws.

So he apparently limited his E-mail message's distribution to his victim and to the mailing list's administrators. So my memory failed me in this case. However, I believe that Ori did the right thing by letting the Linux-IL mailing list members know that some people want to unsubscribe him from this mailing list due to an indictment. We, the mailing list participants - not only the administrators - have the right to express our opinion about whether we want to remove people who have been indicted, to limit this action to convicted criminals, or to allow even prisoners to participate (as part of preparing for their future as productive members of society). As for me, I wouldn't want to be part of a group which excludes members based solely upon complaints or indictments, a group which ignores the possibility of people having been framed by their business/political/romantic competitors.

There are a lot of attributes there, so you'd need to find a Samsung official document specifying the different SMART IDs, and search for the ones that are for error reporting. Pay attention, from my experience, the ATTRIBUTE_NAME column doesn't necessarily specify a correct name, so it's best to get the ID number from an official vendor document. Also it's possible that there are tools that do all that automatically, I see that on Fedora there's a GUI for smartctl called 'gsmartcontrol', looks promising.

OR (and probably much simpler if you're doing roll-your-own), if you haven't done so already and you don't mind, you can try sending *authenticated SMTP*, using Google's mail servers as your official SMTP server (relay), authenticating with a GMail account on your domain (preferably not your primary one, in case your server gets hacked and everything).

From gabor at szabgab.com Tue May 18 08:43:19 2021 From: gabor at szabgab.com (Gabor Szabo) Date: Tue, 18 May 2021 08:43:19 +0300 Subject: Copy-Paste from Firefox 88.0.1 not working properly on Ubuntu 21.04 (Hirsute Hippo) Message-ID: Hi, A few days ago I upgraded from 20.10 to 21.04. Since then I have problems with Copy-paste. At first it seemed to be randomly not working, but after some experimentation I think it does not work when I try to Copy from Firefox to anything else which is not Firefox. (And to be even stranger it seems to work sometimes from Firefox to other apps as well, but only a few times and then it stops working.) I also posted it on AskUbuntu, but so far no good responses. https://askubuntu.com/questions/1338970/copy-paste-from-firefox-88-0-1-not-working-properly-on-ubuntu-21-04-hirsute-hip Have any of you encountered it? Do you have a similar environment and it works for you? Gabor -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Copying from FF to a terminal and to email seems to work fine. Probably unrelated, but I first upgraded from 20.10 to 21.04. Everything seemed fine until I tried to use my Arduino, and found that the serial ports no longer worked. After some discussion with Arduino and Ubuntu forums I decided to do a fresh install of 21.04, and now serial ports work. (I would have liked to understand this problem but I'm on a deadline to get some Arduino work done). Like I said, probably unrelated. But if you get desperate try a fresh install (I know, that's a real kludge, like power cycling to see if a problem goes away) On Tue, May 18, 2021 at 9:44 AM Gabor Szabo wrote: > Hi, > > A few days ago I upgraded from 20.10 to 21.04.

Highlight then Ctrl-Shift-C. Ctlr-Shift-V works in the terminal and pastes it, but Ctrl-V in other applications freeze the other app for a few seconds and the paste does not work. Earlier I tried a reboot. It worked for a while then it stopped. Yesterday I tried logout/login and it has been working since then. Now my guess is that there might be some key combination that starts this behaviour. Really strange. Gabor On Tue, May 18, 2021 at 8:50 AM Michael Shiloh wrote: > I'm also on 21.04.
