Board changes

A few things I am trying to get the system to run on a much smaller server:

Re: Holy shit I got it working!

It will go up and down as the current cloud server is 1/10th the HDD space of the old server... then one with 13 year old software.

Right now log files are killing me as every program wants to spit out tons of inane drivel. Just had to tweak the mysql config as the SSD was full of useless bots ...

Re: Just in.. TUP manual photographed!

Linux desktop is still garbage... its been 20 years!

I needed to do some simple tasks.. but my KVM OS is way out of date (CentOS6).

I download CentOS10 and think that the GUI *might* be faster than trying to remember commands... NOPE.

Its been 20 fucking year, Linux is still hot fucking garbage on the desktop.
