I have added several new blocks into the #nginx config file to do this. If you as a regular already existing user runs into any issues, PLEASE CONTACT ME!!!

Trump is absolutely going to make ByteDance sell TikTok or shut down again.
Here he is talking about it during today’s big data center announcement, with Larry Ellison, Sam Altman, and Masa Son standing in the room with him.
Extreme First Amendment issues with having the government own a social platform aside, it’s striking how he keeps talking about “permits” even though nothing in the TikTok bill has anything to do with permits. Once a real-estate guy, always a real-estate guy, I suppose.

Remember how Zuck said you had nothing to fear if you didn't do anything wrong?
Resisting is wrong to them. There is much to fear.
Use secure communications, get off anything owned by the front row of the inauguration.
Carrier pigeons are more secure.

I decided to put Gentoo Linux on my 2013 Chromebook Pixel with MrChromebox.tech to replace the GalliumOS install that is now no longer maintained.
GalliumOS is basically an old version of Ubuntu with XFCE and some x86 Chromebook tweaks. I copied the scripts and systemd service file that enable zram (swap to compressed RAM instead of disk) with LZ4 compression. With that enabled, I can build packages with 2 concurrent jobs in 4GB RAM with Gentoo's KDE desktop running!
TIL: Wenn ich unter #Windows die allgemeinen Schriftgrößen für z.B. Menüs, Dialoge, Fenstertitel ändern möchte, *ohne* die gesamte Skalierung des Desktops zu ändern, muss ich das in der Systemsteuerung unter "Accessibility" bzw. "Barrierefreiheit" tun.
(Vor 20 Jahren hieß so was noch "behindertengerecht")
In meinem #Linux|-Desktop geht das mit System - Einstellungen - Darstellung - Erscheinungsbild - Schriften. So einfach kann das sein.
