@jac This should do it

.widget-board-stats a { color: #ffc557; }

Many thanks pal, I’ll try this later when back in.

Worked an absolute treat as always!

Many thanks Mark! 😁

Will be testing this further later on, it seemed to work very well last night.

@gotwf said in Best VPN :

Just an fyi, fwiw, since I am the culprit to have pointed folks thusly…

Dont worry mate, I think it’s probably a solid VPN for many but for mine and your own purposes it doesn’t work quite as well as we want it to 😉.

@phenomlab said in Facebook goes offline 🤭:

@jac Be warned that the content is pretty graphic, and it’s NOT an easy watch 🤢 ⚠

Oh right, I’ve not seen it but I didn’t expect it to be as bad as it’s being made out? I guess I’ll have to watch it of course to know what you guys are thinking etc 😳.

@phenomlab thank you! not me 🙂

@kurulumu-net can you open a new topic for this ? Thanks

@phenomlab brilliant, many thanks Mark 😁

@phenomlab said in Advantages and disadvantages of changing to Ubuntu?:

@jac Yeah, I wouldn’t just leap into it unless you have a valid reason (such as the laptop no longer working and needing to be reinstalled). Probably better the devil you know currently.

Absolutely mate, and generally as discussed that is the only time I have changed over to Ubuntu once the laptop has got slower.

For now I will carry on with Windows, purchase the VPN & BitDefender in later October / early November and then see how all that runs for a few more months 👍🏻.

@gotwf Great analogy 🙂

Just checked this thread on Discuss. It’s effectively not stable yet. My suggestion would be to use kyrne/websocket

@hari CF page rule is working, i think my .htacces don’t work 😄

Solved

@phenomlab Well… it is complicated… My journey is long, not the end all, be all, and likely require a substantial beelog post.

But yeah, as mentioned in one of my bee log articles I linked to somewhere else hereabouts, the big trifecta are 1) Web browser, 2) Terminal, and 3) Editor. Those last two are all command line driven whilst the fist is predominantly gui/rodent driven. Of course there are some one off apps here and there that are predominantly gui driven but they are not part of my daily fare, used to rarely to be of consequence. So, go figure what percentages of time you may spend in each. Maybe, just maybe, that DE is getting in your way more than accelerating productivity? Just maybe… maybe not.

@phenomlab it work, thanks 🙂

@phenomlab said in NodeBB vs Discourse:

Hetzner eh ? I use them also. In fact, Sudonix is hosted in Nuremberg 👍

yes i’m also at hetzner, i have been a customer there for years with a reseller account for domains. My VPS that I host there are also in Nuremberg 🙂

@phenomlab okay

@phenomlab said in RSS parser script [NodeBB]:

@jac Not yet. Sorry. Still on my list, but take comfort in the fact that it’s 75% completed 🙂

Brilliant mate, can’t wait! 😁😁😁😁😁😁

@jac @Hari my thoughts around this are that with any platform - be that WordPress, Flarum, or NodeBB, there is an inevitable “lock in” - very much like Hotel California (“you can check out any time you like, but you can never leave”).

What I mean by this is that you are buying into an ecosystem that offers no easy or readily available path out. If you plan to stay for the long term and there is a clear progression path from that project meaning it’s a viable route, then great.

However, all of these platforms (except WordPress perhaps) have a way of ingesting data from other sources, but little to no way at all of taking that data somewhere else. This is nothing against any of those platforms, but the fundamental issue here is that whilst it’s probably easy to move into another product, it’s a different story altogether when you want to leave and take your data with you.

Most FOSS based platforms can realise this and make money out of migrations. I know for certain that wpForo does this, and I also know that it’s something that one of the developers at Flarum has been touting for some time.

@jac Exactly. Hard point to argue.

Your google ranking is too low for that. Your clicks on your website have to increase significantly for this. It also helps if you have a lot of links to your website, e.g. on other websites as a reference. So that your posts or your page are high in google and can be found, you have to rise in the ranking

Sitemap google refresh

If you do not use WordPress or another CMS whose sitemap automatically sends a ping to Google when it is updated, you can use the "ping" function to request the update. Send an HTTP GET request like this: http://www.google.com/ping?sitemap=https://example.com/sitemap.xml

@phenomlab Well, like you said, it’s fast, so no need to compare to php apples.
