You can boot to both now? Great! 🙂 If things have to be configured again, does that mean some data got nuked?

Gone the whole hog and acquired this viewsonic monitor because it’s HDR10, a thing in Windows now. The 2k res is there if needed, provided it’s not from the UHD770. 😛
The new Ob rig has an HDMI 2.1 port actually, which renders as absolutely useless with current gear, so it’s either this or the other DP port will have to be converted to HDMI for the TV.
Madness. 😛

[DeVaultSetter]

Here too, an installation USB is mandatory.
🙂 Fabulous, now one supposes that whatever is in that PopOS drive will lead you back to Linux Land. Heard from support yet?

Here’s the skinny on the new rig: https://valid.x86.fr/pkm8wh
Has two DP ports and one HDMI, which is standard, and as many lower priced monitors have one DP and two HDMI, the workaround is noted. 😛

Posted the known audio issues and, due to a pending monitor shuffle, acquired a new monitor for the downstairs rig. Fortunately, the RX 550 has the matching DP outlet, leaving the HDMI for the old TV. And yeah, the monitor comes with its own sound device, making full use of the HDMI it seems, this human ear unable to tell if the audio is superior to the Realtek.

The rig works pretty well, the errors at startup are standard, haven’t gone into the UEFI yet.

HP provide a nice interface in the Desktop with utilities, and even a browser, the Chromium based “HP Sure Click Secure Browser.”

Oh, and the DVD writer arrived, it’s brilliant! Must handle with care as somewhat fragile, as some of the negative user reviews have attested.

Well, it’s answered, although, – ehm, – it’s kind of what we already know, with a static page we’re stuck with the page template.
And er, is it because my question didn’t quite hit the point – or did it find the mark more from underneath than from on top?
Was there any major reason why the front page had to be “static”? If we changed that, we could put the welcome stuff in a separate block (or header), and just stream the posts and comments as they come through.
The downside is folks can never respond to the welcome post, which is what was originally intended. This may be overcome if we can keep the welcome post separate (“static”) from the others, perhaps the categories will help there.
“Welcome” and then “Everything else”
Worth pursuing this at WP?

[DeVaultSetter]

All right, here’s the post.
Also, something to note when migrating themes, there are issues explained particularly well towards the end of this thread. 🙂

[DeVaultSetter]

Yes, do remember giggling at Chucky, on the list again. 😀
Dying on the Edge is flicked in the idiom of true B-Grade, possessing elements that both move and intrigue. The screenplay is rather smooth, formed with a professional touch, and is well directed with a solid supporting cast. And it’s very sad, 3.5/5 here.
Right now streaming The Vanishing Triangle, a bog standard production with a hint of mystery. 🙂

The Back-UPS RS 900G there might require a replacement battery, however no warnings from the UPS monitor software. Could also be touching on the threshold of insufficient voltage as the PC was tested on another AC outlet. As is often the case out in the boondocks, the waveforms of the current can be a bit blocky, and the PSU itself is as old as the PC, going on 13 years, and like me, getting a little tetchy. 😛
Revelation of the week, there is something skwewy with the PC and not the UPS, as the monitor S/W works on the new Ob rig, thread updated. 🙂

The old monitors are an issue with new connections when trying to set up the two monitor system as before. Purchased this unbranded, but nice looking DP to VGA adapter which produced no signal when connecting up to the old Samsung S24B350H. The monitor has VGA and HDMI outlets only, the new Ob machine has two DisplayPort outlets and only one HDMI outlet, the latter is consumed by the TV, also a recent acquisition.

Unfortunately the holding pins on the VGA adapter had to be filed down as they were an incompatible size. Tried a few combos in W11 as well.
The standards require the adapter plug must be “active” to work, thus should have a chip inside to facilitate the conversion from digital to analog, the specs in the seller’s page didn’t say that, so should have checked initially. Could also be an issue with the power not being 3.3V/500mA from the DP outlet.

So the last line of defence against purchasing a new monitor is the old ASUS VS248h monitor that has an extra DVI-D socket. Ordered this Alogic converter, hoping of all hopes it will do the trick. 🙂

Either that or heckle the local council debates, keep plying the staff with jelly beans, parade up and down main street with a banner “We Want More or Less Government”, or go to the mayor’s office and say you really support their “Parks and Recreation” style of government. 😛
Any LPs there for a collector’s wish list?

[DeVaultSetter]

Looks like a few folk have moved on which can burr the edge of expectations somewhat. Might take it over to WP, there’s bound to be at least one happy subscriber ready to jump out of their skin in order to throw us poor sods a bone at least. 🙂

[DeVaultSetter]

That’s odd, is it just a standard sugar syrup like the one here? Of course it would make sense if it were for just one sponge section, was a particular filling recommended for it? She also welcomes questions. 🙂
Lovely, any recipes in mind? Wikihow covers the basics rather well. 🙂
Enjoying lamb roasts over here, foil shiny side down might help with the sticking on removal, would you recommend a little oil or grease on the foil as well?

[DeVaultSetter]

Metric over here, so Attack of the 15.24 Woman. 😛
Anything from the Little Shop of Nuclear Plant Horrors is sure to take one off-piste, even if you happen to be a script writer for the film!
Kill the Messenger was on again, do remember seeing at least a part of it before, funny how the guy in real life was later found shot in the head twice, explained away as suicide.
Another film based on RL, The Whistleblower, doesn’t hold back in realism. Again, a confrontation of David against Goliath where David scores a momentary win before sinking into uneventful obscurity.
Nightmare Alley is a slick production, have to say, with a sprawling and fascinating story. The original movie with Tyronne Power is available at Wayback, also on the list for later.
Tonight there was Gunpowder Milkshake, another neo-noir styled affair with mood lighting and stagey sets, turns out great for a completely brain dead fiesta of girl power and gore. 🙂

Oh, you mean the backup-5.21.2024_20-10-10_xzjkv5sl.tar.gz file, did that from cPanel, everything for Stearnvault is in there for sure.
Yeah, would be nice to setup a monthly job to park the backup directly on the NAS, probably starting off from here perhaps, providing cPanel CRON can handle auth passes. Meanwhile, it isn’t too much of a stretch to take a snap before a major theme/plugin/OS/Host change, just in case. 🙂

[DeVaultSetter]

During a previous Google episode, came across a piece of info that indicated cPanel backs up everything to an internal mirror site every two days. Possibly related to the next.cpanel.net mirror system mentioned here, not sure if this is so,- could ask about it. With WHM access it’s possible to specify a custom update mirror.
As far as TPP goes, they provide a Jetbackup smorgasbord of many flavours. the cPanel interface is slightly confusing though.

[DeVaultSetter]

Got a wood fired oven, never made a pizza in it yet. Hmmm, that could change. 🙂

Ooh, you have a neon sign? Don’t have Blockbuster over here so a sign like this might look out of place. 😛

The following would be a worthy addition to a shopfront – (residence anyone?) or nearby a portal to interplanetary travel – even if it adds a little to light pollution.

Wiktionary has subtile derived from the Latin, an early use of the word can be found in the English translation of The Praise of Folie (subtile docteurs) top of page 60.

While on poems, The Fires of God presents in a more epic vein if you will, and hopefully less obtuse.
The preference here has always been limericks though. 😛

[DeVaultSetter]

Bollocks, got this:

SERVER_ERROR NO: 51 MSG: User token not found

Re-enabled it, so all the settings are default again. Can’t recall setting anything specifically, if there was, it should have been mentioned here.
Things look okay now. 🙂

[DeVaultSetter]

Asked about it at SO, just in case a detail is omitted. 🙂

[DeVaultSetter]

Put White Heat on the list, it’s a classic!

Saw Poultrygeist some years ago, memories of fun but copious amounts of eggsplosive diarrhea were insufficient to warrant a second viewing. Love the Troma titles:

• Poultry in Motion: Truth Is Stranger Than Chicken
• Vegas in Space
• A Nymphoid Barbarian in Dinosaur Hell
• Dolphinman Battles the Sex Lobsters
• Heart of Fartness: Troma’s First VR Experience Starring the Toxic Avenger

There’s a brief debate about DBZ/Kai here, seems like if you just want pow-pow, go for Kai. 😛

Despite the performances in The Nest, some aspects of the story and screenplay didn’t quite convince, and the reasons for the occurrence of certain events wanted more unpacking (without making the film any longer 😛 ).

Enjoyed Mindscape, especially the “dream” sequences, and the pace of the film was such that small holes in the story were never quite stitched up. Probably explained the user score at RT, fine with most critics though. Surprised there were no spinoffs, sequels or series made from the idea.

With Bill Murray in Wild Things, there was a high expectation of a comedy element, and so there was, before it got clobbered by the violence. Lots of twists and turns on the way to easy street, if that’s your bent.

[DeVaultSetter]

The activity on Dostips has slowed down over time, no doubt due to being less a part of the Windows boot process than it was back in the day, except when it comes to dual booting. Find BIOS mode, and even List C for preboot file management are sure to help. 🙂
The bugbear of youtube video restricted countries has resurfaced, fairly sure its doable here, so on the to-do pile (in case it ever got loose and slipped out the backdoor). 🙂

[DeVaultSetter]

There’s also Windows PE, handy if you want to fix the Windows first. GRUB is certainly an option, here’s a guide on the UEFI usage. 🙂

[DeVaultSetter]

It’s the template, all the choices of template Main Page (no parent), reduce to:

1. “Default template”
2. “Page No title”
3. “Page with Sidebar”
4. “Page with Wide Image”

The comments are allocated to categories, navigate through the listview .e.g:

wp:post-title {“isLink”:true,”fontSize”:”large”}

wp:post-author-name {“isLink”:true}

wp:post-terms {“term”:”category”,”prefix”:”in “}

wp:post-excerpt {“moreText”:””,”excerptLength”:40}

Looks like fiddling with the template. 😛

[DeVaultSetter]

Those are fine, what there is from the horse’s mouth is next to useless:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/manufacture/desktop/repair-the-boot-menu-on-a-dual-boot-pc?view=windows-11
Visual BCDEdit would be terrific if it could show gui forms when run from a recovery disk, indeed something like XTGold from early DOS would be a blast. 😛
