Recently we ran into a glitch using an online editor in a website CMS with the Firefox browser. Every time we tried to paste plain text into the editor, the editor would crash or display an error message. Other browsers worked fine (chromium, SeaMonkey), and Firefox worked fine on other workstations. It turns out it was the method some online editors use to process clipboard events. In 'about:config' the offending browser had
dom.event.clipboardevents.enabled
set to 'false'. Resetting to 'true' fixed the issue (the default setting). I had probably set this, or some no longer in use add-on/extension had set it, to enforce additional security or privacy.

It was only a matter of time, I suppose, but my old Pentium 4 box used as a hobby server is no more. A fast thunderstorm with hail moved through our area. Of course, we lost power for several hours. Rather than hope the UPS will last long enough, I powered the ol' box down. Unfortunately, the P4 had issues powering up and booting. When it did boot, it was missing some memory and a had number of other motherboard glitches. I was planning on moving everything to the M91p with the release of Slackware64-15.0, anyway.
It is time.
Welcome our "new" server!
[UPDATE: Now running on a Slackware Linode with Wagtail CMS. -KB Jan 2, 2021]
