(Quote) It's not so complicated. :) There's educational value in trying to convey some of the complexities of history. :) You're right that a fork of a fork is still a fork, but a fork of a fork of X isn't necessarily a fork of…

(Quote) It all looks very questionable to me, but at least they offer StarOffice 6 and 7 for free (even though they very probably don't have the right to do so). I would have thought that Oracle acquired StarOffice with the purchase of Sun. A…

(Quote) First of all, this thread is a dramatic overreaction by the OP. Second, the low-end provider in question very probably just had an unfortunate incident, so there's no need to name and shame the provider as though the provider systemati…
-
(Quote) If you don't mind, a few comments on your blog post: :) (Quote) Strictly speaking, the open source version of StarOffice produced by Sun was called "OpenOffice.org". People often called it "OpenOffice", but its offi…

(Quote) In principle, I can kind of see why a portable LibreOffice -- a portable LibreOffice that runs in a browser -- might be attractive to some people in some circumstances. Nevertheless, given the sheer size and complexity of LibreOffice, I don…

(Quote) Or perhaps: "too much, too late". This is a gem: (Quote) In general, I'm very skeptical about the "do everything in a browser, assuming a good internet connection" trend, but I find the quoted statement very amusin…

(Quote) Perhaps a little dramatic to start the same thread both here and there about this revelation ... In any case, yes, most low-end providers won't be able to have better uptime than Hetzner Cloud over an extended period of time, but this …

(Quote) ImageMagick is an amazing command-line tool that can do all kinds of conversions, but I understood that you needed a GUI editing tool ("That might require adding additional uniformly colored background top and bottom to get to 400 x 400…

(Quote) Go GIMP -- don't settle for anything less :)
-
(Quote) My question ("No chance ...?") was partly rhetorical, though I imagined that GIMP would require the Linux subsystem to be activated. :) I also suspect that when @Not_Oles said "simple", he wasn't thinking of GIMP. (…

(Quote) No chance of installing GIMP on a Chromebook? :)
-
(Quote) I think that other things being equal, I simply prefer a community distribution -- or let's say one with fewer commercial interests in the background. I was actually pleasantly surprised to see how quickly they were able to get Rocky ou…

I haven't yet needed to do an installation, but my present preference for a CentOS replacement would be Rocky Linux.
-
(Quote) But I imagine that from the perspective of WordPress (and from the perspective of most WordPress users), this is progress. :) (Quote) My impression is that also in the past, WordPress development hasn't made backwards compatibility a f…
-
(Quote) On my reading, it's unclear whether it will be free as in free beer. Or free to install but updates cost money? Even if it's free, it won't be in the same narrow comparison class as AlmaLinux and Rocky Linux because it'l…

Just wondering: (Quote) Is "shared shared hosting" more shared than "shared hosting"?
-
(Quote) The OP didn't ask for your order number Congrats on your first post
-
For the old-school way, see man vacation, but this may not work on shared hosting.
-
(Quote) You might ask @MikePT to check whether the managesieve plugin for Roundcube is installed. It can be a little tricky to get sieve support working properly on Dovecot, and the managesieve plugin for Roundcube will only work if sieve support i…

I usually add options rotate so that load balancing is done among the three nameservers
-
Given that Debian 11 ships with php-7.4, I think that the 7-series will still be relevant for a while to come

(Quote) Indeed, it looks like an issue with your Ubuntu Virtualbox. Nevertheless, any chance of downloading the same file X via http for a direct comparison (with ftp)? ( wget http://...X )
-
(Quote) A fairly controlled test would be to put one rather big file X on your shared hosting site (available via ftp and http), and then to compare wget ftp://...X with wget http://...X on your VM.
-
(Quote) Are you saying that downloading the same file f from machine A to machine B is considerably/radically slower via ftp than via http? There shouldn't be a dramatic/significant difference between the two. You might try a few different FTP…
-
(Quote) Indeed, the FTP standard lacks CRC or checksum, so nothing beyond TCP for ensuring data integrity, as far as the standard is concerned. There has been a suggestion to extend the FTP standard with a HASH command, but it's experimental a…
-
I tend to be old-school and still use tar + ftp, but yeah, it's not fancy. I keep telling myself that I need to learn to use one of the fancy tools. :) And there's also dump, which can do incremental (i.e., differential) backups, but it&#…
-
(Quote) I think that @beagle described current usage correctly, but I think that incremental is sometimes understood as 'differential'.
-
(Quote) I would just say that LES and the OGF are two different experiences. The megathread at the OGF is definitely adrenalin-filled and contains a lot of chaos, but the tireless efforts of @FAT32 (with the flash sales) give it some underlying mea…
