Customize Apache2 directory list

I have a rapsberry pi as a server that among other things holds my music collection.   Today I got Apache2 running on it to serve music to my android phone so could listen when I'm out in the yard.   It works but the size of the text in the directory listing is really small.  How can I enlarge

Disabling special keys

Recently I got one of those ergonomic keyboards because it started hurting my wrists  to turn them so I could type on a regular keyboard.  It arrived the other day and it works, but there are these extra keys on it that I've had problems with. The others I was able to deal with using xmodmap,

It seems to me that anyone who writes code should have some knowledge of every OS that code will have to work with.  It's been my experience that no software, machine or anything else developed by man has ever worked exactly as intended.   There's always some bug or quirk that needs to be

Many times I've gone online to find out how to configure something.  I'll open a link and read somebody asking for help with an issue similar to the one I have.  It seems like the first 47 comments are people saying not to do that and explaining how they think it's a bad idea.  Finally,

After the good manners and courtesy shown in your reply, I had to make a reply of my own.  It's true that on day 1 of the Biden administration Biden stopped work on the Keystone pipeline and stopped most drilling on government land, and imposed stricter regulations on the rest.  If he hadn't

Some say you can save on gas by riding a bicycle.  You can also ride a  horse and taunt people at the gas station like this guy. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/9DwjwCMtTn0 --- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.phxlinux.org To

That's a good idea.  Here's an addition to it.  Have a second AA battery holder in parallel with the first.  Put in the new batteries before removing the old ones.  Or would that cause some problem I'm not thinking of? On 12/26/21 4:47 AM, Eric Oyen via PLUG-discuss wrote: I had problems with
