Musings is Fun & Politics — Tech is just Tech 
Redcore Linux ‘is a distribution based on Gentoo Linux’ testing branch which uses a hardened profile by default‘. I’ve been trying to install Gentoo Linux, off ‘n on, for about 3-years, but am never able to make it to the graphical desktop. I can install Vanilla Arch Linux many different ways, but Gentoo Linux ‘n T2_SDE (T2 System Development Environment) are just beyond my ability. This Redcore Linux 2301 review explores the easiest path to Gentoo.
If you haven’t tried ChatGPT yet then you are falling behind. If you have tried it then give it a second or even third try, and then fall behind if you still don’t understand what it can do or simply don’t like it.
If you’re using a WordPress Premium plan (or higher) then you have the ability to add Custom CSS code (created wid ChatGPT) under Dashboard’s Appearance > Additional CSS customizing option. Some people have even created a ‘Working WordPress Plugin‘ for their blog.
I’m running a Hostinger self-hosted WordPress blog, the Karmi’s Musings & Tech blog, using the Multipurpose Blog premium $39 theme. Started the blog on 11/3/2022 ‘n have been slowly finding what I’ve needed for continued customizing. Self-hosting a blog takes some addition work, and WordPress themes that work at WordPress.com may need customizing if you go wid a hosting services. That’s when knowing some CSS code (or knowing how to find it) comes in handy. Today I asked ChatGPT to write a Blockquotes Style CSS script for me.
Nobara Linux hasn’t been out very long (less than a year), but its “simple point-and-click user experience” keeps getting better! I first reviewed ‘Nobara Linux 36‘ at my Linux Newbie blog hub on 9/19/2022, and then ‘again‘ at my new self-hosted Karmi’s Musings & Tech blog on 11/7/2022.
Peyton Hall holds the Department of Astrophysical Sciences at Princeton University, and rumor has it that they use Springdale Linux there. If you’re headed there then you probably already knew that.
I once tried to get into Princeton University, before the days of computers ‘n internet, but they rejected me after I had walked ‘n hitchhiked to there from ‘Toilet Seat Cut‘.
My last Pantum P2502W printer gave out last week and I immediately started the dreaded search for a new printer. I had actually purchased three of them @ Newegg Business 10/11 years ago, one at first, and then two more after I saw how well it worked. They were on sale for about $25 each, each printer came wid a “700-page starter cartridge,” and I was looking for a printer wid high Page Yields – ‘Page yield is the approximate number of pages you can print with one cartridge.‘
I had grown tried of buying replacement cartridges at around $27-40+ each, depending on if it was a Black or Color cartridge. Page yields were closer to 120 pages for those cartridges; however, lack of page yield wasn’t the only problem, i.e., those small cartridges often clogged up for lack of use!?! Cheap printers wid expensive replacement cartridges – what a gimmick! Before the Mono Pantum, I had spent more on cartridges than printers…far more, and I didn’t really print a lot!
