Plain Text to HTML

I have switched the format for email composition to html from plain text. It is for the simple reason of convenience. The dpool zfs filesystem is degraded because one of the drives is returning "too many errors" status. I ordered new SATA cables. I also ordered new compact lights. I am hoping to solve the drive degradation by using more reliable SATA cables with locks. 

A certain Camile Samarista sent me a message about my PLDT Home payment last June. That there was an error. I checked my bills and there seems to be an item I can't explain. It seemed like I got my service back even if there is a question with my payment. My bill is now in question then. I did not receive an email for my April and May bills. I only got my July email for the bill and I can't explain the gap in the bill.

It has been a month since I applied for Home Unli fibr from PLDT. The application is still in progress. I have to check that again. I also remember that I applied for my credit card at BDO last June also a month ago. I have not heard from the bank yet. The Home Unli Fibr plan 1699 is a fiber optic connection that promises 20 Mbps speeds and no caps in usage. No installation fees to be collected. I could get a landline and / or a smart TV. If I like the plan I could upgrade to 50 or 100 Mbps.

Password Issues On Ubuntu Login

I found myself unable to enter my login credentials when prompted to do so in Ubuntu. I think I might have changed it then forget about it. I've been running the current session for more days than I should have. I forget. So what's the solution to my problem. How do I get in to my system now? It involved getting into the grub menu somehow. I am uncertain as to how to do that exactly in your system. So there's a couple of ways to do it (finger's crossed). When booting at system start, use the esc key or the shift key. The first one worked for me. The timing is key. Wait until the bios banner shows then hit the esc key once. I am using Ubuntu 22.04.4 here. I have a current version of grub. The grub menu will give you options and the one you want is: root. Yes you want root privileges to set the root password. It should give you a terminal access where you can issue commands. Type: #mount -rw -o -s remount / ==> this command mounts the filesyste...

Pacman Has to Get Better

I finally got my printers working. I got cups (and cupsd in the /etc/rc.conf) I installed hpoj and a group of printer drivers. So to get my Arch linux to recognize there's a usb printer connected to my system I have to run a daemon (ptal-init setup) and include it in /etc/rc.conf. That finally enabled (after a reboot) my GNOME control center to acknowledge that there is indeed an HP-3900 at the end of my usb port. The real personal story behind my saga with a printer is pacman. It is now throwing 'network not reachable' everytime I start it. Every download and sync. I ran --debug and ping ip addresses and so far I will conclude that it's a really really slow ftp server. The server is so slow pacman is timing out connections. It's unusable guys. My first rolling release distro and I've decided that Arch rises and falls with the performance of their package manager. Great distro for the DIY community. But sorry I can't recommend Arch linux to my mother who jus...

Webapps in Unity

So it has been 4 months since Ubuntu 14.04 came out. This is LTS and supported for 6 years by Canonical. The first mobile device with Ubuntu pre-installed is promised to come out later this year, 2014. It's time to check out how the apps perform so far. It is a good idea. I use Gmail and Twitter and Facebook. Why not a webapp in a desktop? So I start the Twitter and Gmail webapp. So far it has crashed my computer 6 times. Not a very good sign. On the other hand it does work but not as stable as opening them in Firefox. -- Use my PGP key if you want to encrypt your replies/messages to me.
