I had zypper being confused about the dist-upgrade between these snapshots:
< CPE_NAME="cpe:/o:opensuse:tumbleweed:20171125"
---
> CPE_NAME="cpe:/o:opensuse:tumbleweed:20171129"
It ran into this:
Problem: libopenssl-1_0_0-devel-1.0.2m-1.1.x86_64 conflicts with libopenssl-devel > 1.0.2m provided by libopenssl-devel-1.1.0g-1.1.noarch
Based on [WayBack] Re: [opensuse-factory] openssl dependency problems with snapshot 2017112 after discussing with DimStar, I choose to have zypper dist-upgrade to perform
deinstallation of libopenssl-1_0_0-devel-1.0.2m-1.1.x86_64
Now all is fine.
Thanks Dominique a.k.a. DimStar!

SuSEconfig has been dead for a while, but still indexed at quite a few of the official sites stressing the importance to use it.
It used to apply the configuration in /etc/sysconfig to the system.
The rationale for removal was simple:
Let’s remove all SuSEconfig scripts since only YaST calls SuSEconfig but other tools like rpm and zypper do not call it.
If scripts are needed, they need to be invoked as part of the postinstall.
Now most services either know to directly handle the configuration data there (and apply it during reload/restart/start of the service), or have a tool (like postfix now has /usr/sbin/config.postfix) to apply the settings.

Using the TRACE target: [WayBack] iptables debugging « \1 via [WayBack] iptables Debugging using the TRACE chain – Kristian Köhntopp – Google+
Docs:
TRACE
This target marks packes so that the kernel will log every rule which match the packets as those traverse the tables, chains,
rules. (The ipt_LOG or ip6t_LOG module is required for the logging.) The packets are logged with the string prefix: “TRACE:
tablename:chainname:type:rulenum ” where type can be “rule” for plain rule, “return” for implicit rule at the end of a user
defined chain and “policy” for the policy of the built in chains.
It can only be used in the raw table.
Way more details in the linked article.

Most of my browser life is in Chrome, but the memory consumption and CPU usage has increased so much over time so it, err, become less than optimal.
Given the new FireFox is supposed to use far less memory and CPU than previous FireFox versions, I want to try it, but since so much of my Chrome life is about Chrome Extensions, I was glad to discover [WayBack] Chrome Store Foxified
