I bet that many of you would like to open site links not in the same window, but in a background tab. Such behavior is restricted by default settings of most Hugo themes. Mainroad is restricting it also. Here is a solution on how to overcome weird limitation. Create file render-link.html in _default folder of the theme. Name_of_your_site\themes\mainroad\layouts\_default\_markup\render-link.html Contents of render-link.html should be like this: <a href="{{ .Destination | safeURL }}"{{ with .

UPDATED ON: 2023-02-20 Note is totally rewritten to match 2023 reality. Today it is not an easy task to do. There are plenty browsers out there. “So, what is the problem?” you may ask. Most of them are based upon google chrome. This means that all of them are dialing back to google to share your private data. That’s the main problem. Here is my personal list of browsers that I use in a daily workflow on Windows machine: Main surfer: [Iceweasel 110] ► replaced IceCat For visiting geo-restricted sites: [TorBrowser 12.

Answer is very plain’n’simple. I like look of png compression especially with Floyd–Steinberg dither filter applied.
Image aesthetics become soooo 80s’ish and this is so, cool! And yeah, I’m saving space of [Codeberg project] on which my blog is hosting.
Thanks to all of them. They even helped me out to setup initial repository of the project. Very neat guys, to say the least.

Just a simple list of the most important services of Windows 7.
Whatever happens - don’t disable them.
Services are programs, which are automatically loading into memory of your computer during start-up time.
Services are always hanging around in computer’s RAM in background mode. Alternative name: resident programs.
That is why it is so important to cut most of them to free valuable memory up for your personal applications.

Described issue related to Windows 7 and modern AMD-based GPU’s. Some users on Reddit [have reported] ,that there is a problem with modern Radeon cards. Core of the problem: sometimes monitor can’t wake up from sleep state and shows up no signal message, despite the fact that computer continues to operate. Keyboard input, sound output are working normally though. Of course you can set Windows power management not to turn off monitor completely, but this will be quite a waste of energy.

Since Firefox v3.x the browser is capable of managing color profiles like sRGB & AdobeRGB. When a browser doesn’t support color management or it has been badly implemented, images won’t show up right.

Some important links for those of you who care about online security and privacy.

Just a quick note regarding coolness of obsolete cellular protocol. I’m talking about 3G technology.
Recently I find myself in situation when 3G is actually provides greater speed and is way more reliable than modern protocols.

Trick is very simple, if you know where to dig. Just find config.toml file of your Hugo theme and add following section.

I don’t quite understand why people are using horizontal top [MacOS] or horizontal bottom [Windows] taskbars and not vertical one. Most of us are exploiting 16:9, 16:10 or even 21:9 displays. So basic logic confirms that we have more pixels in horizontal plane and less in vertical. So it’s better to save vertical space [pixels], but not horizontal ones. GUI of complex programs like to “eat” vertical space soooo much.

To check system hard drive and fix errors: chkdsk c: /f To check system hard drive, fix errors, locate and mark bad sectors: chkdsk c: /r Very basic command to check integrity of system files: sfc /scannow If sfc can’t help you try DISM.

UPDATED ON: 2022-05-17 Added latest AIDA64 FPU benchmark to show supremacy over 12900K UPDATED ON: 2022-05-04 This is the most powerful configuration, which runs Windows 7 without any issues or side effects. Threadripper 3XXX is possible, but micro freezes and stuttering are present, so it is not a viable option for smooth experience. UPDATED ON: 2021-08-19 Added some benchmarks for more clearness. Internet is swarming with [amateurish articles about “incompatibility”] of modern hardware with legacy Windows 7 operating system.

Just want to make a super quick note on neat browsers for legacy operating systems. There is not so much choice for such vintage OS these days. There are two of last Mohicans. K-Meleon & MyPal.     K-Meleon is way more lightweight and will be good for slow puters. There is even a Windows 98 version. While MyPal will bring up more modern web compatibility, but of course it is tad slower than K-Meleon.

Today, I finally fixed my laptop workstation from 2012. Model [Dell M4700] to be precise. Replaced old 2.4Ghz Dell 1504 WiFi module and installed brand new 1540 model with 5Ghz support ordered on eBay. Web speedtest shows around 200 Mbit/s. I’m satisfied with the result. High performance quad-core cpu i7-3740QM (4c/8t) in conjunction with 8Gb of RAM and paired with 2Gb Quadro K1000M workstation video chip can do wonders (of course only within Windows XP abilities).

Yeah, i’m 108% confident Nowadays people don’t have much choice in terms of choosing their web browser. google chrome is a choice of almost all common people. I choose not to choose it. Because of it’s invasive philosophy to collect every possible thing it can dig up and then send back to it’s Master. I can’t even call it a browser any more. It is data-collecting platform, with very high privileges.

This will be lil’ personal blog about retro computer technology. If you are interested in things like [Pentium MMX] , [Windows 7] , [Nokia camera-phones] or just simply would like to know about vintage computer stuff of the past then please come on in.
