    What do you do with your creative side?

    I don't really have a creative side, unless you count 'messing with CSS for websites' as creativity. ^^

    Pidgin Setup help

    The 'domain' of Pidgin is indeed the server's connection URL. I've never used the program myself but you might need to input a port by typing :[port] after the URL. TLS/SSL is a security protocol, and is used by many sites/services today to keep things secure. Also, welcome to ComputerForums -...

    Good point there, actually. Plus sometimes the tool gets stuck for ages on verification of the ISO/created image and that can be a pain, although it does certify that you have a working copy.

    You don't have to use Rufus, you can use the Windows 10 Media Creation Tool. Saves time if you ask me because it downloads the iSO for you and then puts it on the stick, ready to use.

    Repurposing an older machine as a server?

    Hmm. I don't know if I'll be able to pull this off, but thanks for the tips anyway. Hopefully it becomes helpful to others in the future. ^^ Thinking of just buying a .uk domain and shared hosting since I don't really have the time to upgrade or the ability to manage everything myself, and as...

    Repurposing an older machine as a server?

    Hi, It'd be nice to give my old 2009 desktop a new breather of life as a server machine, since I'm thinking for complete control to make my own server for a website.

    I think the main cause of the problem is that people just want more and more convenience these days with social media and live chat, rather than forums. Places like LinuxQuestions.org are still very popular because Linux is a rather specialist topic with a lot of distributions, a lot of newbies...

    That really sucks... You should try to rely on a dedicated mail service rather than ISP's email, I use mail.com and it's pretty reliable for me. Though I use a gmail account for activation stuff because it then keeps everything clean ^^

    Hi, ComputerForums!

    @~mr mixx~: SNES was the first console I grew up with, and thanks! And yes, I can tell it's laid back and friendly here, despite only being here less than 24 hours, I feel welcomed and happy being part of this place.

    Considering where you live (according to your location) you're probably more used to heat than me, but that is still a very hot temperature regardless. And yeah, the heat gives me a headache too.
