So true!
“Migrating from WordPress to Markdown sounds easy. Mention it to any developer and they’ll say “Pfft, an afternoon of work at worst”

Suddenly it’s 6months later and you’re losing your mind.”
How to Export a Large WordPres Site to Markdown
I think I’m going to try the resulting script on one of my WP sites & see how it goes.

A quick search at https://www.cpubenchmark.net/ suggests that I already have the best power/performance chip for this socket type. I can get a marginally faster processor that uses twice as much power (which would mean I’d need even more cooling).
So yeah, any practical CPU upgrade would spiral into replacing the whole cpu/motherboard/memory, which of course involves dismantling the whole machine…
Fan & thermal paste it is!

Desktop CPU is overheating during games again. Figure I’ll reapply the paste & add the spare case fan to the side.
Might upgrade the cpu fan too. Maybe one of the ones that aims sideways toward the back of the case.
Went to look up the socket type & discovered that the cpu model is 10 years old :blob_dizzy_face:
I’m sure there are newer CPUs that are both faster *and* more efficient. Might be better than replacing the heatsink. But a lot more involved.

Going to upgrade your Fedora to version 36.
You may want to read Release Notes:

Um…do spelling errors in the upgrader count? π¬
Heh, I didn’t even notice that the message’s link to the release notes was broken. I’d already read them earlier.

So, #Jellyfin: Easier to install than Plex, works just as well so far, and doesn’t require me to sign into a remote service to connect to my own server sitting on my desk in the living room, or try to push me into purchasing a subscription to share my household’s music collection with everyone in the household. I think that choice is clear.
Um… #ClassicPress seems to have had a major implosion over the weekend.
Um… #ClassicPress seems to have had a major implosion over the weekend.
Over the last few days it has become crystal clear that the community feels that the Directors of the ClassicPress Initiative are now hindering the progress of the ClassicPress Project.

The stand-alone episodes are good, and the Burnham/Spock family dynamics, but the main arc gets really frustrating in the second half.
Freedom?
Some of the ridiculous things going on in the name of “freedom” make more sense when I consider that to some people, the only freedom they care about is the freedom to forcibly reject people who aren’t in their ingroup, and to some people, the only freedom they care about is how much money they get to keep, and some people have found it very effective to cater to these two groups.
Good/Bad/Ugly Battery Replacement
Good: Got the battery replaced in wife’s otherwise still-working-great Note 8.
Bad: Repair shop told us Samsung is phasing out parts for it, and we had to go to another location to find one that had the batteries in stock.
Ugly: I had to drive on the 405. 4 times (there & back twice).
