This is of a technical interest on how I actually produce my blog. I have always written by blog pages in emacs and historically have authored in Markdown syntax and the Beautiful Jekyll theme on GitHub. I now author my pages in org mode and use org-publish to render them to the Jekyll repository. Next I ensure that the blog posts are in the _posts/ folder and commit those changes to the git image of my site. Finally, I upload and push my local site to GitHub.
[Read More]In a report from the Bree Daily, Sauron, of Mordor, has reportedly paid 44 Billion Dollars in exchange for a Seer Stone called “Twitter”, a dollar being some odd foreign currency made of paper.

[Read More]Musk is the richest man in the world, certainly, his wealth is one reason, but when Carlos Slim had that title in 2010 and 2013 should we have trusted Musk less?

We have been building the information super highway for several decades we saw the "Under Construction" part of webpages in the 1990s. Old roads are still remembered and taken when a major bridge is removed things can get dicey. The problems of Musk and Twitter are the disregard for historical solutions to problems. Mastodon is being tested by the masses as a replacement for Twitter, taking up the "tooted" and "federated" rhetoric.
[Read More]On Twitter national security and political view are expressed by many of those I follow, and today many are moving to mastodon. Last night while auditioning mastodon as a Twitter replacement, I was feeling I did not get the information I desired all the posts etc. Mastodon is not heavy on the recommendation engine, if there is one, and you are more in control of what you see in your Home feed. You are the algorithm.
[Read More]There is a limit to the power of positive thinking. At every stage Trump has voiced a rosy scenario about the coronaviurs, only 15 cases, it will be gone by summer. Persistently the negative truth presents itself. The coronavirus is a threat to be reckoned with and not dismissed.
I believe the loyal Trump supporters in the White house are still presenting him with rosy pictures. Pleasing Trump is more important than factual presenttions. Reality has a very tough way of presenting itself in light of the coronavirus. But the rosy supporters may just move on.
[Read More]I am in an isolated location with one of my parents. COVID-19 changed all my planing.
It has been a long time since I have blogged.
The router is a WRT54G and there is wired extension to a DLink WBR-1310. I previously used another WRT54G at the extension position but that is in use at my orgininal location, which I and my wife use on weekly basis.
[Read More]One moring my Kore remote stopped working due to a crashed home router. The main symptom other than non-function was that the Kore - Media Center (selected from the left hamburger) icon had RED icon. This icon should be GREEN when the client can connect to the server. When connecting the icon may be YELLOW.
