Grok to WordPress & X: Overcoming Formatting Hurdles

by

 

Grok WordPress formatting can be challenging when trying to copy from LibreOffice or MS Word into the X composer. How do you suggest to a Billionaire (richest human on planet, in fact) a possible way to make more money on a business he basically stole from the Progressives? BTW, they are still whining about Elon Musk stealing Their *BELOVED* Twitter from them – after almost three years!? They want to destroy all his businesses now. I would put an emoji or two or three at this point, but … but I’ll explain later in this post. Anyway, here I am getting less than $1,000 a month from Social Security – trying to write a post suggesting a possible way the richest man on the planet can make more money on X (formerly owned by Progressives).

archinstall – easily automates installation of Vanilla Arch Linux

by

I’ve installed Vanilla Arch Linux 4-6 ways over the years, and this is my second time using the archinstall method. It has improved over the past year, IMHO, and seemed to be a tad easier and more efficient this time.

About 51 pictures this time, so am going to try and let most of the pics ‘Speak for themselves’ by adding a brief “Caption” describing the step. It will be long, but I don’t want to break it up in parts.

Fedora 39 Cinnamon SPIN – Anaconda (installer) + NVIDIA + System Upgrade

by

Fedora 39 Cinnamon SPIN keeps getting faster & smoother with each release! I go with the Cinnamon SPIN because it is about as close to a Windows ‘Feel’ that the Linux desktop can get.

I’ve got at least 17 pics to insert, plus about 11 more that are linked to, and those are mostly on how to use the Anaconda (installer).

Also want to squeeze in how to add a NVIDIA driver, and a glimpse at adding other apps with the Fedora GUI Software Management – dnfdragora.

Then, doing a quick review of how to do a System Upgrade from Fedora 38 Cinnamon SPIN to Fedora 39 Cinnamon SPIN. That involves upgrading a converted 12.2” Samsung Chromebook Plus V2 XE521QAB from 38 to 39.

Lots to do, so let’s get started! 🙂👏

Alpine Linux 3.18.4 – Small. Simple. Secure.

by

Alpine Linux caught my eye the other day, in this article: Looney Tunables: New Linux Flaw Enables Privilege Escalation on Major Distributions. Other major Linuxes were found to be vulnerable and exploitable to Looney Tunables, with Alpine Linux being the exception of those tested.

‘Alpine Linux, which uses the musl libc library instead of glibc.’ I did a post on Linux security flaws – Here. Then decided to do a post on Alpine Linux installation. Mainly an instructional post on how to install it, which is long, so I won’t have a lot of info on the inner workings of Alpine Linux.

For more info, Jack Wallen has a good article on – What is Alpine Linux?

Porteus 5.0 Cinnamon – Part 6: Package Managers & Porteus Modules

by

This is the final part, Part 6, of the “Special July 2022 series” on the Porteus Linux page. The other parts are now – HERE. Had moved to this self-hosted KM&T blog last year, from the old Linux Newbie – Since 1996 blog, and have been transferring certain posts & info slowly to here. Requires some editing and moving the pics so it’s not the original ‘Flow’, and dated info can be confusing. Porteus 5.0 package managers work differently than other Linux distros but it’s great once you get it! 👍

Have been ‘gearing‘ the series towards MS Windows users, but still mindful of interested Linux users. Most everyone in the modern world now uses 2-4 OSes daily…their PC’s & phones for starters.

Primary, Secondary & ‘Companion‘ OSes

I believe Porteus 5.0 Cinnamon is a perfect fit for many Windows 10 and/or Windows 11 users, as their secondary OS and/or a ‘Companion‘ OS alongside their primary Windows 10 and/or Windows 11 OS.
