2022-03-09-firefox-snapshot-cmd.txt This file is saved with "windoz" file endings so it can be read by any computer. I was running Thunderbird downloading my e-mails when I had one e-mail to renew a magazine subscription which loads an HTML file to fill out my information for renewal. At this point Firefox locked up and was just doing it's little circle jig! After several minutes there appeared an empty message box (probably to say that Firefox was not responding!), but it was empty! After pulling the plug, and restarting Ubuntu 21.10 64-bit Desktop on my Raspberry Pi 400 computer I tried to start Firefox again and 20 minutes later it was still doing it's little circle jig. At this time I opened the System Monitor and looked at the fluctuating CPU cores with one usually reading 0%, another 1%, another around 10%, and the fourth around 25%, with all of the cores swapping in and out, none were static. I am really not impressed with "Snaps"! It appears to me to be nothing more than "Microsoft Spaghetti Code"! When I tried to load "Geany" the snap version was over 100 MB and would not even run. When I loaded it with "sudo apt install geany" I ended up getting two 1 MB files and that program has run flawlessly! I have been having a lot of trouble with "Firefox" snap locking up and even just quitting at any random point, with it being around 160 MB. The normal apt version is only 56 MB and runs smoothly! Again, I am not impressed with "SNAPS"! I am going to post: 2022-03-09-firefox-snapshot-cmd.txt, 2022-03-09-firefox-snapshot as well as 2022-03-09-firefox-snap.zip which will contain both and want to download. My internet connection is only 2 Mb/sec down and 1 Mb/sec up so the maximum speed will probably max out around 125 kB/sec. My web site is http://162.250.19.7/ and will come up with a green screen and a directory listing. I am now running my site with "thttpd" from Acme.com, which used to be the number 7 web server software, on a Raspberry Pi 4B with 4 GB RAM and a 128 GB micro-SD card, using the new Raspberry Pi 64-bit OS. I found the 2 GB file limit size that would be served was caused by using a 32-bit OS, (2**31 = 2,147,483,647 or 7fffffff). Using a 64-bit OS I have tested files up to 5 GB and have had no problems with them not showing up on the internet. This software is bullet proof out of the box because it is using a read-only file system but can do CGI programs by adding the CGI information. The "cut and paste" directions for building this site are under: http://162.250.19.7/ in "Freedom/" and in "freedom.zip" which I need to redo for the 64-bit Raspberry Pi OS. So anybody can access these files I am posting them to: http://162.250.19.7/ with the files being: 2022-03-09-firefox-snapshot-cmd.txt, 2022-03-09-firefox-snapshot, and 2022-03-09-firefox-snapshot.zip.
