I've seen the Dolphin terminal get stuck before. I'll type exit in the terminal to close it and then F4 to open the terminal again, which then behaves normally.
Hi everybody, I recently installed OpenSuse Leap, but I have trouble working with firewalld. The goal is to accept incoming ssh and vnc connections from two IPs exclusively, but it just does’nt work.

I think the problem is that you're adding a subnet mask (/24) to your IPs. They should either be bare or have a /32 mask. The /24 mask is allowing the whole 192.168.0.1-254 address range.

Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) said Tuesday that he would not give Democrats anything in exchange for their votes to help save his Speakership, after Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) moved to force a vote on ousting him....
The only reason I can think of is that Republicans are probably not capable of electing a new Speaker (who is not McCarthy) before the 45-day reprieve expires on government funding. The House needs to be functional in order to pass a budget.
WASHINGTON — Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., the Donald Trump ally and conservative bomb-thrower who has been a nagging thorn in leadership’s side, filed a resolution Monday to force a vote to overthrow his political nemesis, Kevin McCarthy, as speaker of the House....
Upon examination, I do not understand what any Democrat would find of redeeming value to allow him to persist in the speakership.
The only redeeming quality of McCarthy is that he's already Speaker. Remember how much of a circus McCarthy's election was? All those rounds of voting? Well, that's going to happen all over again if he's ousted. Republicans aren't going to vote for any Democrat as Speaker and they're too divided amongst themselves to pick one of their own, if not McCarthy. And the 45-day clock is ticking until another potential government shutdown. Spending most of that time in internecine squabbles over the Speakership helps no one.
WASHINGTON (AP) — Republican Rep. Matt Gaetz filed a resolution late Monday to oust Kevin McCarthy as speaker, setting up a likely showdown vote in the House in the days ahead....
It is becoming increasingly clear who the speaker of the House already works for and it’s not the Republican Conference
Once can serve either the Republican party or the citizens of the United States, but not both.
It's hardly worthy of praise to perform the bare minimum of office in avoiding a government shutdown, but Speaker McCarthy met that low bar while Representative Gaetz failed to.
WASHINGTON (AP) — Attorney General Merrick Garland said in an interview that aired Sunday that he would resign if asked by President Joe Biden to take action against Republican presidential frontrunner Donald Trump. But he doesn’t think he’ll be put in that position....
It would be inappropriate for Biden to request a specific action regarding Trump, but the overall wording gives the impression that Garland intends to be idle in the face of Trump's criminality.
WASHINGTON, Sept 29 (Reuters) - Hardline Republicans in the U.S. House of Representatives on Friday rejected a bill proposed by their leader to temporarily fund the government, making it all but certain that federal agencies will partially shut down beginning on Sunday....
Why? Why don't these shutdowns sink political careers? If Ted Cruz had been properly tarred and feathered after his shutdown in 2013, maybe other Republicans would have gotten the memo that government shutdowns are not acceptable.
I hope the next generation of politicians will not cling to power until death. It is a failing in our system that our leaders will not gracefully make room for their successors. If only death can force them to give up power, is it really a peaceful transition?
House Republicans are claiming President Biden benefited from foreign business deals by his son, Hunter, but they have not yet shown direct evidence of that.
Based on the Alabama legislature's failure to draw a map with the two majority-Black districts we ordered, we will direct the special master to design a map with three majority-Black districts. The legislature is invited to try for four.
But if the court has its way, and the ruling survives the inevitable appeals, "Trump will ultimately get the cash," she said, though "he could try to bid on the properties like anybody else."
Assuming there is cash. The very foundation of the case against Trump is him overstating the company's worth. The receiver will make accurate reports, which will probably reveal enormous hidden debts and properties worth a fraction of their claimed value. I wouldn't be surprised to learn Trump exhausted his father's fortune decades ago and has been sustaining the Trump Organization on nothing but fraud and Russian mafia money ever since.

The Democratic party should not feel themselves entitled to the union vote. Asking them to deserve it is fair. That they're less evil than Republicans is granted, but that's a very low bar. They should aspire to something better even if they need to be goaded into it.
I lost 2-3 hdd's due to old age and lost all data on them. Some other 2-3 hdd's make a lot of noise while in operation and probably failing.

“Follow the money” helps us figure this out. Inpatient hospital beds generate two bills: facility fees and professional fees. In most public hospitals, both go to support the whole operation.

But he’s on his own since so many inpatient mental health facilities and beds were taken away nationwide when bad conditions were revealed during the 1970s.
I talked to a real estate agent in Ocean Shores last year. She said at the time that the city's population had exploded. People realized they could earn Seattle salaries while working remote from the beach.
I kind of hope this victory makes Paxton sloppy in his future criminal endeavors, so that federal prosecutors, less mired in corruption than the Texas senate, can make an unambiguous case against him.
By some writers this office is called a sinecure. But not so. Because the Lord Warden CEO is busily employed at times in fobbing his perquisites; which are his chiefly by virtue of that same fobbing of them.
