First, I pulled the image ‘docker pull mysql’ that was the last easy thing I did. I wanted to use my own my.cnf file. So put it in /my/custom and used: ‘-v /my/custom:/etc/mysql’.

It’s just a few days away. Oct. 17th is the day. I’ll be running Lubuntu. That’s Ubuntu with a LXQt desktop. It’s super light-weight which is great for my MacBook Airs. They have 2GB of RAM, an I5 and a 64GB SSD. So Lubuntu is a good choice. I have installed the beta in a
I installed a new wireless router for this website. I bought it on e-Bay. It runs DD-WRT too like the old one except that it runs a more recent version. The newer version is not susceptable to the ‘heartbleed’ vulnerability like the old one was and is configured as a ‘repeater-bridge’ too. I was able

Ubuntu 19.04 (Disco Dingo) does not have a package for MySQL Workbench. It was difficult to build from source. I don’t even remember what I did.

I had to install a new router for this website. I also host tombrehm.org too and citexas.site which is a test site for citexas.org. The old router was dropping packets randomly. I had another spare. The new one is faster and more reliable. I tried converting some pages to Gutenberg on citexas.site as wordpress suggested
