Digg+Google equals Awesome Knowledgebase!

-
Digg is a vast database of really, really good stuff. Imagine an Army of Diggers, by the thousands, scouring the Internet everyday, finding the best stories and submitting them to digg. This is a massive, massive resource of information.

Unfortunately, if you're like me, you haven't had much luck with the search tool on digg. So of all the awesome information that's available on digg, it's a shame we can't search through it better, or can we?

That's where our good 'ole friend google comes in...

We can use google.com to search for key terms only on the digg.com site, and reap the benefits of the best information that's submitted to digg! It's easy, check out the examples below. Just paste the search term into google.com, or click the link provided, and you'll be amazed at how easy you'll find what you're looking for.

Click some of the examples below to see how it works.

On Helping Others Get their GNU/Linux & Consider Doing So

So one day I'm looking at my Google + page and I get this notification of a message: "Can you help me to configure chip ralink rt2870 on Ubuntu(GNU/Linux), please?" I really can't imagine at all, I mean I am absolutely dumbfounded as to why this person would contact me.. Really, it's not like I post (on average) 5 stories about GNU/Linux a day or anything... haha.. Turns out the driver this person needed was one of the types where it hadn't made it into the Linux kernel just yet, but the source code was out there. And so a module had to be built from source and installed on the machine to make the wireless adapter work. Usually these types of problems are relatively easy to get fixed, because: a.) GNU/Linux is open source and so bugs can get fixed (or worked around) by anyone with the technical know-how, and b.) there are kind people out there that take their own time to post the specific step-by-step instructions to repair the problems.

WordPress Admin Page   WordPress, a free open-source content management system (CMS), is one of the most popular platforms for blogs and websites in the world today. The official website for WP is wordpress.org . WP is a spectacular platform! This great product, with all it's ability to be customized, its high-quality visual appeal, its super-duper functionality, its multitude of themes, and so much more, it's so awesome that this feature-rich platform is Free and Open Source for everyone to use! WordPress is made even more powerful due the plethora( literally 10s of thousands ) of plugins (both free and paid) that are available for the platform! I wanted to take a look at this fabulous software for myself so I made some notes for installing WP on one of my Manjaro Linux 5.10.59-1-MANJARO x86_64 21.1.0 Pahvo machines for a test. Installation was pretty quick and easy, and I only encountered a few snags in the process. I'll point out how to work around the issues below. As a...

(Update 09-08-17 -  CLICK HERE for the automatic setup script  - Now Just 296KB!   sha1sum: f3b79c2e191baf8060367681bae27ac75fab9886 ). Based on reader comments, I've added the functionality for the script to use either yum or apt-get (Fedora or Ubuntu). Includes updated Azilink by Charlie Snider - for Android 2.3.x . READ the install  instructions here  (e.g., PLUG YOUR DROID INTO THE USB FIRST!)) Let me know how it works for you in the comments.) So if you're like me you recently picked up the fabulous Verizon Droid Linux-based phone, and now you're one happy camper. I've been cruising along with my Droid (Android Linux based device) for a month now, and I'm happy as a clam. I have to tell you... The Verizon Droid is quite a fine Linux-based device indeed. So now that I've used the Droid for awhile, I set out in search of a piece of functionality that I hadn't yet replaced from my Blackberry days. That is: The capability to tether my Dr...
