Starting a few months ago, on my wheezy systems (all of them) the colours
of the normal shell window have changed to unusable -- black foreground
on black background.
It's easy enough to fix, by editing preferences, but I really wonder
what's going on.
It happens anew with each user, the

For some reason, chromium seems to have got it stuck in its head that
slashdot,org is at 69.165.131.134. At least, when I try to browse to
slashdot.org using chromium, the displayed contents are identical to the
contents at 16.165.131.134, which contains my personal web site.

There are lots of .dotfiles cluttering my home directory.
No doubt some of them are useful.
Many, though, are probably remnants of packages of years past -- packages
I installed long ago, no longer need, and have removed.
Is there any way of identifying which packages are using which dotfiles?
What is the recommended way to set up part of a USB volume as an
encrypted volume, so that I can back up those few of my files that
actually contain secrets?
This is not a backup over the net. I have no need to encrypt the data

I already back up the bulk of my files

Package managers don't track .dotfiles.
No, they don't. That, of course, is part of the problem.
But it would be useful if packages were to have a standard format for
declaring what dotfiles the package is in charge of. Much like the way

Now the wifi access point at home is a bit flaky. Every now and then we
have to reset it.
