So did I, until I discovered a workaround to overcome Cloudflare’s reluctance to allow my php code.

This was not a problem with my earlier, very similar blog post 6 years ago, so what has changed with Cloudflare in the meantime?

Installing WordPress on a Linux (LAMP) Server-UPDATED 2023

Posted 04-22-2023 at 04:10 AM by beachboy2

Plan:
Install an Apache2 web server on Linux with PHP 8.1.2 and MySQL (or MariaDB) support. Then install WordPress and create your own website or blog, either just for testing/learning, or live transmission via a web host.

LAMP is short for Linux, Apache, *MySQL, PHP.
*Using MariaDB in this instance.

LAMP setup is perfect for a Content Managed System like WordPress:

I recently bought this dual-channel TP-Link AC1300 Wireless Dual Band PCI Express Wi-Fi Adapter for a desktop PC that sits two floors below my router:
https://www.amazon.co.uk/T6E-Archer-.../dp/B013HCNTZU

The PC was originally using Windows 10 and the 5GHz signal was much stronger than the 2.4GHz one.

Netbooks-Deliberately crippled by Microsoft's 32-bit UEFI firmware

Posted 04-12-2023 at 02:10 AM by beachboy2
Updated 04-12-2023 at 04:21 AM by beachboy2

Trying to install Linux on a Windows netbook with 32-bit UEFI firmware?

There are some netbooks/tablets/cheap laptops with an x64 capable processor, that are crippled by 32-bit UEFI firmware and originally ran 32-bit Windows only.

The reason for that is because Microsoft received less money for licensing Windows on netbooks than for laptops and desktop PCs, so most of these netbooks ran software like Windows 7 Starter with reduced functionality.

In order to make the transition from Windows 10 (or W8.1, W11) to Linux as smooth as possible, it is necessary to plan ahead, take plenty of time and do proper preparation. I am assuming that all the required software will be downloaded using the existing W10 machine or another Windows-based one.

Preparation

1. Backup all your personal data from W10 to an external hard drive before proceeding any further!

2. Are you likely to use W10 again? If the answer...
