I think "buck buck" was in some old bill cosby skit, one of the origins of fat albert.

rabbit hole

(quick, whats the literary reference?)

[tailor STATELY]

literary reference: Bugs Bunny & a poem by tailor:


Imagination

On a wood stove once
uniformly black
Now aged on its sides
to gray and lesser grays
amongst the black
There abides (easily
conjured up by the
imagination) the image
of a rabbit in twilight
before a great hole -
gazing upon runes


Sometimes I'm the rabbit
contemplating the unknown;
other times, like Alice,
I follow into a world
already created, or soon
to be, separate to mine own

[bounty]

am not much of a poet tailor, but I appreciate what you wrote.

I wonder if it might be improved by the elmer fudd spelling? wabbit!

danik I don't know if you had/have this in brazil. way back when I was a kid, televisions had little antennas that sat on top of them inside the house and if remember rightly, we referred to them as "rabbit ears."

for more of my "on going" problems---when i go post i get directed to a page that says "site not secure" and i hit "post anyways" and then i am logged out, i have to log back in.

[tailor STATELY]

I'm using the last Windows compatible Safari browser (version 5.1.7) that has eliminated my login problems :)

on point

[Danik 2016]

Verify if it continues safe, tailor, as Safari is a modern browser. Some of these browsers were ok during some days, then the Litnet page appeared disfigured again.

This is some modern device trying to protect you from Litnet, bounty. The solution I found for myself was keeping my usual browser for the other sites and installing a less sophisticated or modern browser, like DuckDuck or Sea Monkey specifically for Litnet. I have Litnet on all my device tablet, phone and the problem affected Android too.

[tailor STATELY]

Safari 5.1.7 browser is 10 yrs old and shouldn't have any chrome attributes, as a complete guess, that may be causing problems. I'll report if any glitches crop up :) Anyone else using an Apple browser ???

point on

[Danik 2016]

No. Apple devices are very expensive here.

go on

[tailor STATELY]

Apple devices - Here too. I'm just happy my refurb Windows 11 laptop allows the old Apple browser to work, but, this is the only site I'm using it on...

on going

[Danik 2016]

If the browser is old you hopefully have solved the problem. I don't know the reason, maybe older browsers lack some protective element against unreliable sites and so old dear unreliable Litnet is tolerated :).

Browsers of the Google family are the worst, but they aren't the only ones. Russian Yandex was ok for about three weeks and then it presented the disfigured Litnet page.

[tailor STATELY]

Ah,

my fear with changing browers through danik is i dont remember my password, and i think if i try to retrieve it, i'll mess me up and i wont be able to get back in.

high point

(its all downhill from there!)

But you won't have to memorize a different password, bounty. You only have to add another browser and save Litnet on it. When you want to log in you do it with your usual password.

[tailor STATELY]

[bounty]

i dont know what my password is danik. im afraid if i try to reset it, something will mess up and i wont be able to get back in.

once more

[Danik 2016]

You are just having to get used to the high speed internet and its problems. Actually you would have two browsers. Your official one, which you use for most things (Edge?) and a new one specific for Litnet. But if you are unsure it is better to wait until you meet someone that can install it for you. And you need a good anti virus to protect your PC.

more control

[tailor STATELY]

more cowbell

[Danik 2016]

more freedom

[bounty]

its no biggie to install a new browser danik, plus i already have chrome here, but i wouldnt be able to use chrome because i dont know my password and remember, i dont want to try to reset my password for fear of getting locked out. maybe i'll try it someday, but if i ever up and disappear, that might be why!

some more

I understand you completely, bounty. I avoid using most Google products because every time I use them I have to change my Microsoft password. In your case it is as if you had bought a new PC. It would maybe be good, if there is that possibility if you had a technician ( friend, acquaintance or professional who could install one or another thing for you and explain some of the issues. I have such a technician near by and it helps a lot...

[bounty]

its possible there is some "fix" that a smarter person might be able to arrange, but alas i suspect the source of the problem lies with litnet. at the very least the problem here seems to be that my browser doesnt like that the site isnt secure.

i was just looking at my "saved passwords" trying to figure out if there was a way to make them visible but i'll need to look around more.

time travel

fun movies and tv shows with that one!

[Danik 2016]

I think you have hit the nail on its head: modern browsers, specially those of the Google family, think they have to protect one against insecure Litnet and other insecure pages. It probably needs a technician to fix that. Some older browser aren´t sophisticated enough to adopt this Kind of protection.

If you want to make your password visible, maybe the best is to write them somewhere where you can find them when you need them.

we'll see if I can make it last but the temporary good news is that I discovered the "open a new tab with internet explorer" button, and im here without having to constantly log back in when I change pages, and everything looks the way its supposed to!

[Danik 2016]

Congrats, bounty! Let's hope it will last, noe that you can use your old browser again!

re: Gold Country... cooling - no snow nor freezing weather here yet... maybe snow down to 4000 feet (~1200 m) elevation... we're about half that.

we've had a fair amount of snow but thankfully not too cold. my neighbors ducks are still eeking out a living on my pond. the lady across the road has started putting food out and I see the daily procession of deer and turkeys. I started feeding the birds on my front porch, which means my homeless cat spritzer is temporarily banned from the outside. ive caught three mice (and need to catch a 4th) in the past week and relocated them to a sheltered place in the woods and left them plenty of food and material to make a nest with.
