i need alittle advice, he froze my linux doing something stupid , need help,
#1
ok, the title , is what is is , and if this topic needs to be moved fine, just let me know where, or just move it  , i just dont know where to put this topic.

i am no prude ,we all or a percentage of us got curious, it happens , go to a porn site , i went to one , wondering what the fuss was about, damn near peed my pants laughing  :o ,
any ways , its not my thing, but my other half tried  a site , and it froze my PC, lol, his brain is going i think , ha ha , he did this twice to me so far, like last night , ha ha , i had to reinstall Linux lite , it froze my pc big time, lol....... i now have Linux lite 4.6 cuz of this fun thing he did .......so now my PC is a virgin again, .....ha ha toooo funny right ?....PC is fine now.

he is 12.5 years older than me , i refuse to get mad, only chuckle, dont know why he forgot what happen the first time my Linux PC froze cuz of him.
but he is up there in age years, one can not really get mad at a old fella wanting to look at nipples ....right ?. 

soooooo, i was wondering what can a lady in her 50's , do to protect a man who is losing his marbles and likes to look at nipples other than mine.
do i add a firefox extension or a google chrome extension blocking such sites ?. what does a lady do , i mean i do everything else right ?, its just men love nipples ,
what can i say , ha ha ha . now i am not quite tech savy..........i am hoping to test out some really easy idea's first, besides keeping  him occupied, wink...... 

does any one have some ideas , so i dont have to reinstall Linux ?.  maybe  ?,

i say thank you to who ever has fun trying to help me , this could not only be helpful, but funny and fun........

Here's a suggestion:

1. Create a small virtual machine and install the same Linux Lite in it with an anonymous username like John Doe.
2. Set up the VM to auto-login.
3. Add a startup launcher on the VM to auto-run Firefox (optional).
4. Create a snapshot of the VM.
5. On the host, create a launcher with an appropriate name and the command:  VBoxManage startvm name-of-the-vm
6. Acquaint him with how to close the VM when he's through with it.
7. If or when he ever renders it frozen, restore the snapshot.

No one should visit such sites from a computer or smartphone that knows your name and email address. You will very likely become the recipient of a ton of spam if you do. It's better to do research of this sort from an anonymous virtual machine.

Understandably, even in the VM, if you are signed up to the Google services or anything such, make sure you are not signed in for the time. For the most firm outcome, use a different browser, perhaps consider Tor.

Get him his own laptop/pc

It all boils down to maintenance of good habits when it comes to securing own privacy in the Internet, which observably, is what Linux and the GNU movement aim to excel at.

Which could somewhere imply one question, namely, is Internet for porn? [it is an old joke]

**Set Firefox to never remember history.** It seems unusual/unlikely to me that a modern Linux OS with Firefox would freeze as a result of coming in contact with some malicious web script. It's more likely another kind of issue, like Firefox memory or system video memory limitations, and probably one that does not require a system reinstall, just either disconnect or unplug the Internet, or force power cycle and reboot the computer. Don't mix banking and porn sites, in other words don't purchase porn online.

I use chromium with a custom script to start up incognito and I have bleachbit cleaning it on startup before it loads up. I also use the extension ublock origin, I have had some slowdowns the last couple of months but the problem is not the browser it is memory management from the kernel, going back in kernel fixed it for me for awhile. I would normally ask to post the link for testing but that would be a problem. I hate to ask this but install ublock origin and retry to see if that fixes, also turning off javascript would help also. I can send my ublock origin settings and I also have nano defender plugin.

this sounds like something i can try , but it would be so cool if one can make a youtube "video tutorial" on how to do it.

i went into the firefox "about:config" , thats the browser he uses, and used when he went to the fun site , ha ha, i did the disable java thing, it changed the looks of thing when surfing, this would confuse him(his eyes) , ublock is a very good ad blocker, i will have to try all this on my Linux PC upstairs first.

the site he went to was pornhub or youporn, from there in firefox, 2 pop-up tabs appeared, then the Linux lite 4.4 PC froze, i had to turn the pc off by unplugging the pc power cord , lol.
AGAIN, PC is fine now, i told him dont go to any porn sites, till i figure something out........ he is just not allowed to go to such sites, at least till i say its ok.

so glad i am using Linux, if this happened  on windows 10, it would of been a way bigger pain for me to fix, i love my Linux !

i looked over the firefox settings, thats the browser he uses, and came across such settings, i changed a bunch of things, that was one of them, oh, he dont buy stuff online, no buying icky things, lol,  when it comes to banking....... only I do that, he does not know how to do that, poor old guy is a cave man when it comes to computers , its my fault, ha ha , i taught him how to surf the web , sorry i am laughing , here, so for now , i told home no such sites, stay off those sites ,

this is a lot , i will have to learn the whole VM thing on the pc upstairs first, i seen the VM thing dove in tutorials on youtube , so i will find some videos on youtube to see how this is done on a Linux machine(PC)
