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.

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.

Ultramarine Linux 39 – ‘Based on Fedora®’

by

Fairly new Linux Distro, and second time I tested it. Very easy to use. Desktop Options are Budgie Desktop (Flagship), GNOME, Pantheon (elementary OS), and KDE Plasma Desktop (my favorite). What is Ultramarine?

Ultramarine Linux is a Linux-based operating system designed for your own personal workstation (or battlestation). It is designed to be as easy to use as possible, and stays out of your way. Ultramarine Linux keeps up with the latest and greatest software in the open-source community, while trying to be stable and secure. Ultramarine is for everyone, from the beginner to the tech enthusiast, and even Windows dropouts!

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! 🙂👏
