@mandlebro Hello mandelbo! and welcome to Qoto.

Pretty and colourful image, very nice. Need a guide maybe? Don't mind if you don't need it.

Enjoy the network and all it has to offer. If you are new to using Mastodon, there's a good guide here: https://lifehacker.com/a-beginner-s-guide-to-mastodon-1828503235

We also have another new users guide, posted here : https://write.tedomum.net/rgx/suggestions-and-guidelines-for-new-users-written-by-mastodon-art-administrator

Any question, just ask, and someone will try and help out.

Have a good day!

Preparing and researching a post, for me, is fun and serious work.

I love Writing, and am quite picky with visuals as well as words.

The screenshot shows the programs currently loaded here, used to produce this morning's two research posts.

And new Blog pages too. https://write.tedomum.net/rgx/

@alyssontkd Olá Alysson, bom dia!

Bemvinda ao Qoto, espero que goste e aproveite a sua estada aqui.

Posso sugerir um guia para novos usuarios, mas no momento só tenho dois que são em Ingles.

Se não puder ler, talves traduzir via Google ou Bing Translate, ou fazer uma busca por guias em Português.

Até logo, escreva se tiver alguma pergunta, ok? 👍

My first one was an US Robotics Courier 2400 bps, internal model.

I had to learn VERY quickly of all the intricacies of IRQs, Com port addresses and default assigned IRQs, Jumper settings to change those.

And -- even when perfectly configured for a Com 2, IRQ 3 (I think it was, been a long time), it did not work well at all.

More troubleshooting, and it was the beginning of my learning of many aspects of PC technology. Fast forward 5 years and I was teaching a Computer Repairs class, all from what I learned on my own, struggling but persevering and getting things working in the end.

Loved it, specially when things were working well!

Turns out, the modem problem wasn't the modem, or any ports on the ISA expansion card this system had. It was the mouse, a Logitech bus mouse with its own ISA controller card, which had been set by jumpers to use IRQ 3, the one I wanted, default for Com2 serial ports.

Once I figured that, a Jumper change and it moved to IRQ 5; no more conflicts.

And my adventures in the BBS world started. Becoming an active member of FidoNet was the next phase.

Internet? that took about 4 years before I could get access, when joining a University. NO consumer internet existed at the time, it only became more common later, 1996-7 or so.

@chikara, the Tutorial is alive now, as promised.

#PromiseKeepers

Have now figured out a way to make my laptop settings for the mastodon Web Client really sharp – it is using the FULL screen width, but without the madness of the multi-pane, 3 pulsating Feeds running simultaneously which is kind of the Default when you enable it.

I have prepared a detailed Tutorial, with step by step notes, screenshots to help people wanting a similar setup.

Due to the amount of images, and the placement of them and the text, I used QOTO's Discourse Forum for the post.

https://discourse.qoto.org/t/setting-up-the-advanced-web-interface-for-mastodon-full-use-of-wide-screens/150

Will be preparing a Blog post with same content later today. Hope you enjoy, the Forum post is Visible to Anyone, to reply there you need a free account registration.

@freemo Have you seen those hip Barber saloons, and all the oils and stuff they push to the Barbudos?

@chikara I am working on preparing an AWI guide, taking screenshots, to share what mine looks like and how to get there.

Will be a lot of images, so I will write it on the Dsicourse Forum, and post link here when done.

Can't control that many images properly here.

@maison_faim Not much, just starting the day. Was in bed and didn't look like I was gonna sleep again, so got up.

And you? Breakfast already?

An administrator at another instance posted a link to a free version of the Kaspersky Antivirus and Internet Security suite.
