copying files to fill flash drives

Wouldn't diff be faster because it doesn't have to read to the end of every file and it isn't really calculating anything? Or am I looking at this in the wrong way.

Firefox addons disabled - temporary fix
The currently available fix for Firefox doesn't work with ESR, but there's a temporary fix that works. At least, it's working for me:
Go to about:config and set xpinstall.signatures.required to false.
The Firefox folks say that a fix for ESR will be coming at some point, but at least this gets things working again in the short term.
It's not clear to me if the fixed ESR (when

X login screen fails on the first try
I set up a Centos 5 machine a couple of weeks ago and everything was working
perfectly. It survived a few reboots and whatnot with no problem.
I moved it to another location on Saturday afternoon and, again, it booted up
and worked fine.
It was rebooted this morning and now the graphical login screen doesn't
appear. Everything appears to load normally but once the text login screen

how does the bootup screen move the cursor around?
While rebooting my computer after installing the new kernel a few
minutes ago, I got to wondering about how the initial bootup screen
(after grub, before rhgb) is constructed.
The "Loading kernel blah blah blah" lines start at the top of the screen
and proceed to scroll down as one would expect.
But "kernel alive" shows up at the bottom of the screen and then more
write-up is

Network Manager - rotate connection profile
I wasn't sure what to call this in the subject line, but here's my issue.
I have an occasional need to switch a few computers from one Internet provider to a different one. Both Internet providers feed into the same network, one at 192.168.0.1 and the other at 192.168.0.254.
So to change from one provider to the other I run nmtui to change the gateway and dns server addresses, then

reading very large files
Hi all,
I have a large file (1.8 GB) with 900,000 lines that I would like to read.
Each line is a string characters. Specifically I would like to randomly
select 3000 lines. For smaller files, what I'm doing is:
trs <- scan("myfile", what= character(), sep = "\n")
trs<- trs[sample(length(trs), 3000)]
And this works OK; however my computer seems not able to handle

simple website hit counter
Googling for this finds me a ton of stuff that doesn't actually do what I'm
looking for.
I want a simple hit counter cgi script of some kind that will increment a
counter on every page load but I want to access the counter from a different
page.
In other words, I don't want to have a visible hit counter on the webpage
itself. I want to have a different webpage that will show me the

Red Hat is Planning To Deprecate KDE on RHEL By 2024
https://www.theregister.co.uk/2018/11/02/rhel_deprecates_kde/
That's still several years in the future, of course.
I use Mate on all of my machines rather than Gnome or KDE and I'm sure
many of you fine folks do the same.
But it's interesting nonetheless.

Centos 5.4 on Acer Aspire One
I currently have my Acer Aspire One netbook set up with Fedora 11. I
would like to change it over to Centos 5.4 if I can.
I downloaded the Centos 5.4 i386 livecd image and made a bootable USB
flash drive out of it. Unfortunately, when I boot off of that flash
drive, Grub (I guess) immediately turns the screen entirely white. If I
hit a key I can faintly see the outline of "Press tab to
