All the CMs I know are WordPress (it has its flaws, but I like it, IMHO best one of the "top three"), Joomla (never used it but is used at workplace and coworkers use it, currently are migrating away from it (ha! sure!) as it seems to be dying)...
...and of course the terrible horrible very bad beast from hell Drupal.
Each and every Drupal install we had to support (well, two until now) seemed to be built by people who had even less idea what they were doing than us.
Drupal has a great flexibility, but a huge learning curve, the most complex CMS amongst the famous ones, you have to define data types, taxonomies, user roles, everything from scratch
There is no standardized way of doing a lot of things in drupal (for instance, content composing, inserting media, etc) which is a source of frustration when searching for help on google
IMO they should've kept the capability for powerful (reach out and touch everything) addons, but with the explicit warning that Firefox proper won't be responsible for compatibilty
@rahuldottech So, I saw you mentioned me yesterday. But it is a very complex issue and I wanted to provide proper, well-thought observations. Problem is, I've been a bit busy at work and with personal stuff and can't focus really well as I think it requires to discuss this. It's a really interesting and complex situation.
@ToxicFrog I've been slowly moving things over to owncloud/nextcloud but still keeping onedrive around for its ease of access - especially in more restrictive networks
So ~/devel and ~/Documents get synced between my laptop and server, photos and password vault between server and phone, ~/Sync between everything, etc, and if any one node gets disconnected the rest keep on trucking
And on the web interface I get files that disappear, files and folders that I can't rename / delete, files that get (2) (2) (2) (2) (2) (2) (2) (2) (2) (2) (2) attached to its name....
@Avery my biggest complaint about syncthing is that it has no conflict handling at all, it just silently writes .conflict files for backup purposes and most-recent-write-wins
So if you're editing the same thing on multiple machines simultaneously, you can end up creating conflicts and losing some of those edits without realizing it
@jokerdino Upload kdbx file, copy key file to 12 flash drives, put one on your desk, one on your work desk, one on your granma's house, you get the idea
Of course you set keyfile + pwd and only you know the password.
@jokerdino db gets synced with your favourite sync program (dropbox, google drive, onedrive, whatever). consider it public. key file is always offline only - it's part of your password (I use an actual password in combination)
@ToxicFrog I mean most debian based distros tend to overload my ram and freeze the computer and stuff, and the only distro I've used to date that doesn't do that is arch
And it's not like I'm using some computer with tiny ram, this pc has 8gb which should theoretically still be enough for my workload
This room was placed in timeout for 1 second; the topic of this room is "For all you Super Users out there." - conversation should be limited to that topic.
so after all that time fighting the usb boot not working, today I need to format the usb stick so i can stick a load of films on for the lil one to watch while we go on holiday
i insert it and notice it's not loading the logo properly
I remove it, reinsert it but not quite as hard...
the logo loads properly. So I reboot, and low and behold it's now working -_-;
Hello all. I've got a Windows 10 + Hardware question which I expect will require some back-and-forth. Is it alright if I ask it here for some foundation and move it to a question if there's too much to it?
Thanks! So I've got a Bluetooth dongle/adapter/thing which I want to plug into my PC to connect a PS4 controller. I've done it before some time ago so I know it's possible. But now it appears like the dongle's Bluetooth just... isn't working? If I go into Device Manager I see a Bluetooth entry and the dongle's name under it. But if I go to the Windows Settings > Bluetooth & other devices page, I can't get the Bluetooth to pick anything up. (Little bit more description on the way)
Looking at the Action Center (the sidebar on desktop) the Bluetooth button shaded blue (as it is for anything else turned on, like location settings) with a caption saying "Not Connected". I assume that just means that it's not paired with anything.
Willing to send screenshots if they'll help
Thought it might be drivers, but I've triple checked that they're all up to date
Probably the strangest thing is that in Settings > Bluetooth & other devices there's a sidebar on the right with some more links, one of which is "More Bluetooth options", and clicking it does nothing. No loading, no popup, no error.
I wasn't really planning on having the dongle connected all the time anyway - I only have two nice and easily accessible ports on my desktop anyway. Don't usually need more than that, but that's where the dongle is connected at the moment, so I'm not really concerned beyond the few hours a week that it will be connected.
Or: is it safe for the electric kettle's integrity and overall functionality to be used to boil non-water liquids such as milk?
*note: I know milk may burn onto the element and be difficult to clean out after, or it may foam up and out of the spout and make a mess. For the purpose of this questi...
@Ramhound Yes, and it's worked before some time ago. It might have broken sitting in a drawer for a few months? But it's still being detected and displayed in device manager as a Bluetooth device, so I don't think so. Here's the device itself: asus.com/uk/Networking/USBBT400/specifications
arstechnica.com/science/2017/09/… The Irony of that article is SpaceX had to sue the Air Force to even get the right to be eligible for to use their launch vehicle
You should ask a question and provide us screenshots that indicate the device is functional (etc ext)
