Vanilla JS is becoming quite powerful the past 5-10 years. I keep going back to it instead of using fancy frameworks. I fell in love with AngularJs (v1) back in the day because it was so simple to add code to pages. Then Angular 2+ requires a cli and 20+ files just to make “hello,…
I’m using Multisite WordPress for most of my WordPress sites. I’m also using Nginx, so the .htaccess files don’t do me any good. My sitemap.xml files seem to be overwriting each other in the host site folder, so the sitemap.xml for this site may show as one of the others, I presume based on which…
A few years ago I migrated this blog from WordPress to Jekyll, and now I’ve migrated it back again. I want to be able to quickly post notes to this my notetaking site, and I’ve been using WordPress more lately. How did I migrate Jekyll to WordPress? I made a Jekyll liquid template to make…
I just changed the Jekyll Rouge syntax highlighting theme on my new site, Practical Code Use. Jekyll’s default is oddly pinkish, and I like the dark themes. First I tried monokai, but some of the colors look odd, especially with PowerShell. So I switched to Dracula which looks better for my purposes. Pygments themes work…
I was digging deeper into Google Search Console today and noticed I had “soft 404” errors for several items. What is a soft 404? It is when Google tries to access a page successfully, but it has no content. I had to look that up. The urls it had for soft 404s for me were…
From part 6 No codec for live playback : This is an annoying concept, but it’s as much Microsoft’s fault as NextPVRs, maybe moreso. I can install a 3rd-party codec (need to vet them to ensure I don’t get one with malware) and get live playback working Oh…I already have at least two MPEG2 decoders…
From part 2 Well I’m not thrilled with NextPVR so far. Not that I’ve tried to mess with it much, but it doesn’t just keep working. I’m not sure if the fault is with Win10 or NextPVR, but it will get stuck in some sort of sleep mode and stop recording. Also it doesn’t seem…
I’ve toyed around some today and read quite a bit. I think my dreams might be crushed, or at least they aren’t worth the hassle. What I really liked about WMC was that I didn’t have to mess with it. I could record stuff, watch and pause live TV, and watch recordings with very little…
My thoughts on this topic rapidly evolve. Now that I’ve gone through a bunch of hard drives and files I’m confident I could lose any of the three Win10 PCs without losing anything important, I realize I could use them to test out various DVR / media server software. More and more I think I…
So far in my homebuilt DVR adventures, WMC was the least problematic / most reliable, but MS has killed it off, and it wasn’t problem-free or spouse/kid/visitor friendly to use because you had to have all the inputs set up right and sometimes had to fix the resolution. Since my last post I’m toying with…
Well I’m not thrilled with NextPVR so far. Not that I’ve tried to mess with it much, but it doesn’t just keep working. I’m not sure if the fault is with Win10 or NextPVR, but it will get stuck in some sort of sleep mode and stop recording. Also it doesn’t seem to auto-free recording…
From an earlier post Somewhere in the pipeline is declarative provisioning and configuration lab work which might go better in the cloud, but I might be able to do it at home, too, with up to four Hyper-V > hosts ready to go. I also have a cloud at work, and some of the things…
