Life was simpler before we knew supposedly non-evil companies collected our every little click on the Internet and sold the data to the highest bidder.
Surfing the net, you can get tons of opinions but seldom a definitive answer on how to best protect yourself. It’s always an answer like, “it depends.” I’m not a security expert but this is what I use…
Firefox Quantum is the new and improved version of FF used by all the kool kids. The last few years I’ve been using the Palemoon browser started as a fork of the old pre-29 Australis version and is a bit long in the tooth. The reason I’ve been slow to adopt is that Quantum broke most of the old add-ons, including Del Rio’s awesome Speed Dial. Ultimately, Palemoon seemed to be getting sluggish, so it was time to update.

Node.js is an open-source, cross-platform JavaScript run-time environment that executes JavaScript. It includes npm, which is the package manager for JavaScript code ( installs programs).

I’ll update this if I make any other changes.
Looks like updating Local WordPress version can be a painless. First, fully backup your local WordPress folder. Download the latest version of WordPress. Unzip it. Overwrite the local WordPress files.

The planets aligned and I lost three years of emails. I had backups and, as a last resort, surely my host did too, right? Nope.It started simple enough. I had some domains on 1 & 1 Internet, a web hosting company base out of Germany, and wanted to move a block of domains to another registrar. I’d been with 1&1 a long time and never thought much about support. Most of what I do isn’t exactly life or death. Continue reading
There was a Kevin Costner movie where he kept on hearing, “Build it and they will come.”Great for Kevin, not so good for webpages. If you want to be found on the net, you need more… SEO (Search Engine Optimization).
Remuxing reassembles the data packets of the audio stream and that’s exactly how to fix the problem.
