<summary type="html"><![CDATA[I continue to make progress on my new social publishing site, The Emu Café Social. I have two outstanding issues:
Status post error when Friends plugin is enabled and Post Kinds is disabled. This is not an immediate issue since I am using both, but any situation wherein one plugin depends on another when the plugins provide different features makes me uncomfortable.
Micropub plugin does not create an endpoint. This is minor since I do not personally plan to publish much using the Micropub endpoint, but it bothers me. I will need to investigate since I am unsure of the issue. I confirmed IndieAuth, on which Micropub depends, does work.
No other major issues at the moment. My ActivityPub profiles briefly stopped working, but I think I fixed that by ensuring that WP Super Cache does not cache author pages.

This plugin adds a simple post-type drop-down to the post editor interface, allowing you to reassign any post to a new post type. It allows you to switch post’s type while editing your post.
It supports custom post types. This may come in handy down the line, so I am saving it here as a proverbial bookmark.

I have a 2018 model TCL TV that I do not give access to the internet (this one works without any issue, but I don't know if that is true of newer models). My TV is right next to my desktop computer, but in order to reduce noise and power, I bought a cheap Beelink mini PC and set it up with Fedora-GNOME and Kodi. Works very well for simple purposes and can easily handle light games. There are plenty of other (possibly better) solutions to this effect such as SBCs, spare laptops, or more capable mini PCs to handle some newer games. I would prefer using a computer instead of the Smart TV OS even without all of the concerns listed in the original post.]]></summary>

<summary type="html"><![CDATA[I had a minor screen tearing issue on an old netbook (I do not know the exact year but the Windows 8 sticker suggests that it is old) running Bodhi Linux 7.0. A Bodhi forum post led me to a 2018 guide for fixing screen tearing on devices with integrated Intel graphics on a site dedicated to Ubuntu MATE (link). The first step was to run inxi -G to discover information about which version of Intel graphics was in use. Fortunately, my netbook used the exact version (2nd generation) as the example, so all I had to do was some simple copying and pasting. I rebooted and the screen tearing was gone. I linked to an archived version of the guide since this should remain a great resource for fixing screen tearing on older devices with Intel integrated graphics.

<summary type="html"><![CDATA[I am using an old LibreBooted ThinkPad as a "server"... really more as an always-on Syncthing node. After having some issues with GNU Trisquel (probably my fault), I decided to go with Bodhi Linux 7.0 (I prefer to have a GUI). Installation went perfect but I had an issue with the behavior on sleep. By default, the laptop seems to suspend when I close the lid, which causes wi-fi to shut off. Since I want it to be an always-on Syncthing node, I obviously need the wi-fi to stay on when I close the laptop. After fumbling for a solution, I read on a forum that the XFCE power manager works outside of XFCE.

It worked perfectly. I mark this issue as solved.
