I'd file a new bug, if i could but bugs.debian.org thinks I'm a spammer

banks do when you try to use a new firefox, send a code you must return
to prove you are who you say would be a good start, As is, I can't even
get close enough to read them and drive crashes have long since erased
any reference I might have recorded from then. What am I supposed to do,
paint them on the wall? I bought two new 2T Seagates to install
bookworm on, spent a week copying almost 26 years worth of my personal
history to them, 2 weeks later both of them died, going off line in the
middle of the night, so I lost stuff that went back to Feb. 98. So that
started my saga with bookworm which has been the 5th great
disappointment in my life.
I use CrashPlan to back up to the cloud. Saved my ass more than once.
The cloud scares me, too public. Some of what I have done is patentable
& I'd rather not share it. Like an NTSC time code format linked to what
is now NTP. Not patentable,but my fingerprints have been to the bottom
of the mohole, 37,000 ft deep in the pacific, I was the bench tech that
built the tv cameras on the Trieste that went down there in 1960.
Its been a long winding road to get this far, and one hell of a ride.
I'd do it all again.
The first 4 were burying my first wife, and one at a time, the three
children she gave me.
You have had more sadness and heartache than anyone should ever have.
