Basic HTML code for commenting on sites where it is not offered.

by

HTML stands for Hyper Text Markup Language. I don’t comment on most sites I visit, but have some favorites that I visit every day, and comment on a couple of them. Some have Disqus, others have their own comment tools, and some have none at all. The above Pic has the basic HTML that I … Read more

ASUS Prime Z790M-PLUS D4 mATX MoBo: Restore an Image and/or do a Clean Install

by

The Intel® Rapid Storage Technology (Intel® RST) driver holds the controllers (?) and storage drivers I needed to do a Backup and Restore (Windows 7) of a Win11 Pro saved image, and/or to do a clean installation of Win11 Pro – on an ASUS Prime Z790M-PLUS D4 MoBo.

I am no expert at motherboards, but I sometimes do more ‘Tinkering’ with my main computer (‘Apevia’) than I should—hence the reason for using the Backup and Restore (Windows 7) utility that comes with Windows 11 before actual ‘Tinkering’ starts.

Long story, but I don’t really want to go thru the ‘Nightmare’, in great detail, again. Doubtful that I could remember all the details anyway, since a lot of the experience involved luck, searching, banging away, more searching, more banging away mixed in with deep thought & pondering, experimenting & testing, and a stroke of good luck in the home stretch. 👍😳👌🙂

Nobara Linux 39

by

Nobara Linux was first released on 7/10/2022, obviously quite new, and it is being developed & maintained by Thomas Crider ‘GloriousEggroll’ – a “Software Maintenance Engineer @ Red Hat. Wine-Staging maintainer. Tinkerer.” Apparently, in his spare time he developed Proton-GE. 😉

I have followed it fairly closely – did two reviews – 11/7/2022 (Nobara Linux 36 – ‘New modified version of Fedora Linux’) & 1/15/2023 (Nobara Linux 37 – ‘Keep an Eye on this Up & Coming Linux OS!‘).

What is the Nobara Project?

‘The Nobara Project is a modified version of Fedora Linux with user-friendly fixes added to it. Some of the important things that are missing from Fedora, especially with regards to gaming include WINE dependencies, obs-studio, 3rd party codec packages such as those for gstreamer, 3rd party drivers such as NVIDIA drivers, and even small package fixes here and there.’

Less Terminal & more Mouse: ‘we want to be more point and click friendly, and avoid the basic user from having to open the terminal … for new users, point and click ease of use is usually expected.’

X Notifications = X ‘working on improving our systems.’

by

If old Tweeter users don’t know what X is yet then they’ll probably miss this Blog & X post. 🙂👌

As for me, I am tired of adding “(formally known as Twitter)” to my X posts, replies, etc. Best ‘Thang that ever happened to Twitter was when Elon Musk ‘stole‘ it from the pathetic Progressives. 👍👏

Not positive, but I think some Progressive – perhaps a Harvard plagiarist President, anti-Semite, Hamas supporter, registered Democratic, NEA and/or AFT member, egotistical Global Warmist (BTW, without Global warming the Earth would still be in an Ice Age), WOKE wacko, Child Groomer or supporter of Child Grooming, Biologically confused human, Disney employee, Federal Government employee (Politicians & Swamp types), MSM employee, etc. – complained to X about humble me!?!

I didn’t even realize you could insult a Progressive unless you were Donald Trump!? Some of these Progressives are teaching 2-3 year children about Rosa Parks – ‘2-year-old black girl cuffed by white child for Rosa Parks reenactment at Florida day care’, and these Progressive ‘Teaching Points’ only get worse from there in our Public School system.

Jetpack Stats & Independent Analytics

by

I’ve been blogging since before Google bought Blogger, but am not even close to knowing all the ‘inside’ workings involved in a ‘web content management system’. 🤔

Right now, I’m starting the second year of a 4-year Hostinger WordPress plan – intro price was onetime price of $107.56, and the 4-year renewal price will be a onetime price of $335.52 (works out to about $83.88 a year). New subscriptions may be a tad higher. There is also a 1-year Domain renewal cost of $16.17 each year.

Not a big follower of my blog’s stats, but do check out some of them daily. Also, am not even close to being an expert on what stats are important to other basic bloggers like me. Most of my previous blogs just showed some kind of a chart, with maybe a dropdown type of menu, and as I recall it was usually provided by Jetpack.

Never purchased any kind of a Stat app or Analytical app until a couple of weeks ago. I had been using the free Independent Analytics plugin for about a year, and liked it so well that I purchased the Independent Analytics Pro Lifetime version.

Jetpack Stats and Independent Analytics both have advantages, but over the year of using the free Independent Analytics plugin I found their stats to be more concise & accurate.
