Out of the blue, a few weeks ago I started getting kdenlive errors. And it won’t start! I googled and tried to install mlt, but it couldn’t find it or half a dozen other related libraries. Uninstalled/reinstalled kdenlive, but that didn’t work either. Very frustrating. I guess I’ll have to run the appimage, which does …

Stellarium
I have an interest in astronomy. And I use to use this program, to see where objects in the sky were, at my location. So I started it and I was lost. What’s happening to my brain? I remember using it to go forward in time so I could see where objects would be later …
I guess I’m not accessing IBM Z Xplore
Evidently I’m too stupid to set it up. Certainly a possibility. Let’s just go with that. However I was able to set it up 5 years ago, and complete the Master the Mainframe course. After contacting support with credential problems, and starting over. The PDF seems pretty clear. I once again get… There is only …
Honeycomb Alpha LITE
I have a joystick, that is certainly better than keyboard/mouse for X-Plane 11, but I’ve always wanted a yoke. I was considering the Honeycomb Alpha. But recently learned about the Honeycomb Alpha LITE which is basically $100 cheaper.
X-Plane 11 – increase time speed
I couldn’t increase time, Ctrl T, with my old video card, but now I can. Planes in X-Plane 11 takes as long to get from point A to Point B as in real life. But you can speed up time over long boring sections.

Pi Zero 2 WH needs Mini HDMI to HDMI
I knew it didn’t use a full size HDMI cable. But I assumed the Raspberry Pi Zero 2 WH used the same Micro HDMI cable I bought for my Raspberry Pi 4 Model B 4GB. But Nooooo the smaller Raspberry Pi Zero 2 WH needs the larger Mini HDMI connection. This chart is from a …
Added a thumbnail to my YouTube video
I uploaded “Z390 Portable Mainframe Assembler and Emulator” YouTube video, 3 years ago but noticed I never gave it a proper thumbnail for some reason.
BLUETTI Pioneer Na SODIUM ION Battery Power Station
New to me… battery technology. Need to look into this.
CachyOS, MS Windows 11 and gaming.
Many years ago I tried different distros often. Manjaro (Arch based) was one of my favorites, but I always returned to Linux Mint. Mostly because it works and most importantly… updates don’t render my system useless. I really liked Manjaro, which I haven’t even tried in years, but eventually an update screwed up my system. …
