For the last year or so, when I go to old.reddit.com I get the "whoa there, pardner" message with some garbage about scripts. reddit.com says "You've been blocked by network security.". I do use a...
You're in a bit of a period of transition - and it's a little more complicated than one would assume. A decade is a very long time, and both 'big' CPU makers are transitioning towards much more cap...
I'm a big believer in benchmark vs. cost, so I would suggest the following approach: Determine "current power" of the hardware you currently have. Do some representative task on it and measure p...
A couple of years ago when I installed Linux, I followed some instructions to get an "etching" tool to load an ISO onto removable media for a live boot - in my case, a 4GB microSD card. It worked f...
My corporation has a discussion forum that uses HTML. I'm uncertain if this is HTML5, and if it also uses CSS. <font color="red">Color this red.</font> failed, probably because "The ...
The selector may be something like: #<idname> { visibility: hidden; } This should leave the space allocated but hide the content. Note: I added this in the comments but putting here as wel...
One possibility is to use an ad-blocker that can hide HTML elements based on a filter expression. I haven't used AdBlock for many years, so i can't say whether AdBlock can do it. However, uBlock Or...
TL;DR You can't, at least not easily. Generally speaking, PDFs are read only documents. That is deliberate, as it helps with use of PDFs as a replacement for paper documents. What you see is what ...
I have a transparent-backgrounded colorful raster-image (.png). I want everything in the image to just become White (besides the background, which should stay transparent). Is there any single ac...
I marked an image element with magic wand in GIMP and then used bucket fill to dye it in another color. For some elements it worked well, but other elements were damaged (became more "aliased" or ...
I once again (thanks Covid!) have a weekly gathering that has moved from in-person to virtual, using Zoom. I am an attendee, not the host. I need to be able to join the meeting up to about 18 hou...
I seek a recommendation for a native RSS program which is: Installable on Windows 10 Allows stacking: Putting all notifications in one place (for example, if I get feeds from two websites, I ca...
This is a function of how the device presents itself over the USB, and also possibly what file format it stores pictures in. Some modern cameras can be switched between being a "camera" or "file s...
You could take the list you have, then sort it and remove redundant lines. Sorting programs come with the OS nowadays. I've had to do such things occasionally, so I created a program to eliminate...
You only have the single "Color Fill 2" layer selected. You have to select all the layers you want to merge at the same time. Hold the Ctrl key and click all three layers to select all three at the...
Per each general audience webpage (i.e. any main-namespace page such as an article page or Category: page), the MediaWiki content management system creates about 10 or 100 or 1,000 if not more webp...
I leave my Mac (Mini, not laptop) running all the time, only rebooting when something forces me to (like a software update). My uptimes are usually measured in weeks, sometimes months. Occasional...
It's better to start in the shallow end Even the "friendliest" Linux distributions usually don't get in your way very much, or try to force you to do things in a specific way to the extent that Wi...
Running the WAVE browser extension on a site, I'm getting an "Empty button" error on a search submit box: A <button> element is present that contains no text content (or alternative text...
Is there a way to set a dynamic font size for text boxes in LibreOffice Draw? I want it to change the font size based on the amount of text entered. For example: versus (Images taken from th...
Distro TL;DR: Mint is good for you. There are many choices and many of them are good. As long as it is somewhat popular and not a specialized distro it should be good enough. Don't worry about it...
I have a Manjaro machine with mostly default programs in the background. I recently found out that when signing in to the other tty's (the ones you go to by pressing CTRL+ALT+F#), it logs in withou...
OK, I was messing with the configs and removing the fprintd lines auth sufficient pam_unix.so try_first_pass likeauth nullok auth sufficient pam_fprintd.so And the offending file wa...
Surely there is a more elegant way, but I simply take a screenshot of the map (with a pip showing my location) and send it to the other person.
