Going through boxes. I've eliminated two so far today. Hitting some new ones now.
Not so much boxes - but PCs.. Toasting the HP Laptop.. Not sure about waht OS to load... from my point of view,.. Linux. But Wife is saying WIndows... which would be gasp choke cough Vista 32b..
Might just leave it as no-OS.. and let it go.. likely off to Good Will in a few days..
enjoying a visit with my Father in Law. Always enjoy sitting and having a conversation with him.
@Jimmy9008 said in Web host for my own wedding site...:
Where can I pickup a cheap domain?
Some will suggest that you need to keep the Host and the Registrar separate.. But for a personal site I don't see the need.
My host is Host Monster.. as is my Registrar. I think I pay about $120 a year for hosting and Domains for four sites...
You can get it cheaper when you purchase more years..
Any host will give you all that you are looking for. GoDaddy, BlueHost, HostMonster,.. etc.
But - why a Static IP? I have four sites running off my hosting, and I don't have a static IP for any of them.
If you want to use your laptop at home,.. you'll have to leave it on all the time. And run a service like DynDNS.

Working on a DC/DC converter project.. Have several half dead AA and 9v batteries here from kids games and xBox / Wii controllers... so,.. Now I can take 8 AA (x2) or 3 9v batteries and boost to 12v - which I can then use to charge my radio or use any AUTO USB charger to charge something...
I've decided that it's time to down size the number of PCs around here... So ,... Starting prep work on two desktops and a laptop for donation / sale. I'll likely "T n L" (toast and load) with a version of Linux.. whole setups are going. Will then have to spec out a newer desktop with Dual (at least) monitors...
I tell ya... working in some of theses PSAP (Public Safety Answering Point) it's insane at the number of monitors or TVs they have up. Up to 6 Monitors per position, and then a half dozen around the office for Cameras, Weather, Alerts, etc... Can't imagine the amount of optical radiation they are exposed to..
Oh - yea,.. this is close...
Wow, dealing with two keyboards and mouse with those monitors can be confusing if your're not use to it.
Yes,.. the site nearest me is 'nice' in that they have only four monitors,.. the keyboard/mouse is on an KVM Auto switcher. Drag it across and it (audibly) switches.. so better. Depends on the site and the hardware integration.

Well - unless it's in there some where,.. the Official support page for Hauppauge states that they Support Ubuntu - ... So, It would seemingly be that here is another device I am unable to run under Fedora...
Or - Is that true?
@scottalanmiller - Is there options for running the WinTV-HVR 950q USB TV Stick in Fedora - or am I looking at either;
Same thing after un/install... sigh.. well,.. it's reported as (unstable) for the platform anyway..so what-ev..
Kentucky lawmaker wants telemarketers to list true caller ID
FRANKFORT, Ky. (WKYT) - One Kentucky lawmaker wants to make certain telemarketing practices, including disguising caller ID numbers, to become illegal.
House Majority Whip Kevin Bratcher, R - Louisville, has pre-filed a bill for the 2019 Legislative Session which would require telemarketers to list their true caller ID number or have it listed as unknown.
This should be at the Federal level, and the fines higher...
@DustinB3403 said in Fedora: Google Chrome Oddity:
@gjacobse If you setup a VM with the same version of Fedora and Chrome does this occur?
Why not try removing chrome and reinstalling, it's only a few commands.
This is my laptop.. no need for a VM
