Jackpot
I have no idea whatsover of how I achieved this, but there you go. This citizen's legal draft is moving forward to the Finnish parliament.

dbus, rsyslogd, systemd: Which one is the culprit?
I have been facing this issue since a few weeks on testing. For many weeks, it prevented upgrading dbus to the latest version that trickled to Testing. Having manually force-installed dbus via the Recovery Mode's shell, I then ran into this issue:
This is a nasty one, since it also prevents performing a clean poweroff. That systemd-journald line about getting a timeout while attempting to connect to the Watchdog keeps on showing ad infinitum.
What am I missing?

Firefox slow as HEL even after boosting RAM from 4GB to 16GB
The title says it all: Firefox is the only piece of software that shows zero sign of improvement in its performance after quadrupling the amount of RAM installed on my 64-bit desktop computer. All other applications show a significant boost in performance. Yet, among all the applications I use, Firefox is the one that most needed this speed boost. To say that this is a major disapointment is an understatement. FFS, Mozilla devs!

OpenWRT Backfire on WRT54GL signal strenght
Because I wanted my home router to use at least decently supported software that provides complete out-of-the-box support for native IPv6, I recently got around upgrading my WRT54GL's firmware from White Russian to Backfire, which is the most recent OpenWRT release that fits the hardware's limited amount of flash memory.
One issue remains unanswered:
In GNOME shell's top panel and WiFi menu, the signal strength remains at 2 out of 4 bars. Given how the router sits only a few meters behind me, I would have expected much better signal strength than that.
Would anyone happen to know how to improve on these results? Thanks!
