I am still learning about Custom domain and blogging stuff.

Every blogger out there seem to be using a blogging platform.
Is there anyone here who writes a static HTML page each blog entry or use a MarkDown to HTML kind of system to automate building simple pages instead of relying on a CMS such as WordPress, Joomla or write.as ?

Day 1 to 7 of #LFS - Attempt 2.5
My previous attempt to LFS went for 12 days. I was going for a 32Bit build, built on a true 32bit Intel CPU. Laptop I was using is from 2007. I had many issues with files probably caused by file corruption, after all it has a ~11 years old HDD. Let it die in peace.
I started building LFS from scratch for 64bit using my daily driver laptop. This week is spent doing the same thing (building toolchain) for a 64bit AMD CPU.
Started #linuxfromscratch on 1st June 2019
After frustrations with 
and 
I decided to visit 
back.
I accidentally typed "yay" on my phone's application search bar 😁
There are 2 kind of 
Linux users
1. echo hello
2. figlet hello | cowsay -f tux -n | lolcat

Blog post: What's up with K-9 Mail?
I recently got a reCAPTCHA which asked me to select all the bicycles in an image but image had a tricycle. I didn't pass the test because I didn't select the tricycle.

This. This post encapsulates the whole ethos behind #100DaysToOffload for me.
@yarmo didn’t finish, but got a lot out of the challenge. By his own admission it has improved his blog and increased his desire to write again.
Mission accomplished. Nice work, Yarmo.

BLM 
Microsoft steals name of Linux Desktop project (MauiKit and the Maui distribution) for their project that does the same thing and then blames Linux community for using that name to begin with (which is obvious trademark infringement as they've both had those names for years now). Abusing power over GitHub to then delete any issues on their project related to the name collision and deny they are at fault for ignoring the first search result that comes up for the name Maui.

You can tell they are trying to embrace, extend, and extinguish. But with blunders like this and the way their megacorp stooge bosses like to handle it they won't be extending anything.

No excuse not to join#100DaysToOffload now! 😊
@mike, I couldn't find the search bar in your blog.
What about a search page with ddg search bar that makes search within your blog by adding "site:mikestone.me" after the search term?

Will you use COVID-19 Contact-Tracing Apps when they become widely available?

Nicky case has posted a comic about privacy respecting contact tracing. 3blue1brown has done a video adaptation of that chomic. I will do a bit more looking into the algorithms mentioned. This solution looks like it shows some potential.
I don't mind people using it. I understand that many people are worried and they can't stay home 24/7 and still earn their living expenses.
I live in a lightly infected region of the World and have no right to talk about how people in other regions should react to such tracking.

@duckduckgo has tooted this tweet https://botsin.space/@duckduckgo/104183936248784890
I believe this deserves its own poll.
If you don't mind, please share your reason!
I would like to call myself a 🦀 (pronounced #rustacean), but am still a cub.
I have so many tabs open right now!
22 Tabs on Firefox
5 on Vivaldi
4 on Chromium powered apps.
Also CS course video + VSCode
I have 6.7GiB usable RAM (5.6GiB used) + 32GiB swap (1.6GiB used).
I'm satisfied with how well Linux uses system resources, and how light Linux Mint is. Even though computer is swapping, I am not noticing slow down.
PS: I checked, all firefox tabs were loaded.
Specs:
AMD A8 APU - 4cores - 2.2GHz
8GiB installed RAM - 6.7GiB usable (shared with GPU)
Linux Mint 19

The PeerTube content bootstrap fund:

Please boost!
I love the "Guest Session" in Linux Mint and users with reduced privileges. I can let my housemates use my computer without they do anything harmful to my system. They can use office and web browser which is enough.
In the opposite side, my roommate lended his laptop (Win10) to his friend for him to write essay assignment. When it was returned, it had cracked software installed. Cracked means it was downloaded from a shady website. His computer with NVMe storage was slower than my SSD laptop.

Which is easier?
Dear #OwnCloud admins,
I recently deployed an instance and it works great. Only complain I have is that system cannot send emails for users to register themselves. I have to enter username and password as admin to add my family members.
Am I missing some package or config to allow sending emails?
Currently there is no email associated with my domain. Should I set an email like "noreply@murtezayesil.me"?
Ubuntu 18.04
LAMP stack: Latest
OwnCloud: 10.4
Hosting provider: #DigitalOcean
