Last year I bought the domain "EzraHarris.com" and still use it for my main blog to this day, but recently I thought that my second blog (this one Ezra Codes.) had a pretty lengthy URL, which by default Posthaven gives you a subdomain like for an example: yourblog.posthaven.com. so I thought instead of buying a whole new domain for my second blog why not use my current domain but add a subdomain, I went to GoDaddy and went to the "Manage DNS" on my domain and added an "A" record to the list with the name being: "coding" and then added the "Points To:" value to the given IP which posthaven gives you when adding a custom domain. Then I went back to Posthaven and changed the URL to "Custom Domain" and put "coding.EzraHarris.com" into the field. So now the domain for this blog is coding.ezraharris.com, although you can still access the site via the domain "ezracodes.posthaven.com" as a backup if the other domain fails. I learned this from my brother Nicholas last year when I set up my own Minecraft server and I wanted to use Play.Ezraharris.com instead of my IP (for safety reasons.)
Recently on Monday, my mother had an issue with no mail coming into her Gmail inbox. She had been using Godaddy for hosting her email servers. It was weird that her google Gmail had about 100 GB left of storage, so it wasn't full. And Godaddy's Email service had the emails ready it just wasn't importing into Gmail.
After a bit of googling, I couldn't figure it out, but I noticed a lot, and I mean a LOT of emails in the main inbox in GoDaddy's email service, so I realized maybe it was full and needed clearing. So I added a 2018 folder and started moving emails from 2018 to it; (it doesn't matter what year I just liked to keep it organized). After about ten thousand moved, I went back to Gmail and clicked the "Check Mail Now" button, fetched 132 emails! To the left side of the menu, folders called "Archives" of 2015, 2016, and 2017.
Conclusion:
If you run into the same problem, create a folder and move older emails into that folder. I think it wasn't importing because there is a limit that the Godaddy servers can hold. There were a LOT of emails, so the limit must be pretty high. This is extremely specific to happen like this, so it makes sense I couldn't find any forums on it.
When I upgraded to my first custom-built desktop last January, I had switched from an old HP Pavillion Laptop from 2015. It had had some issues with some drivers, and running Ubuntu was extremely slow. So Yesterday, I took it apart to see if there was dust clogging the fan, which would cause the issues I had.
When taking it apart, I followed this tutorial I found on YouTube (Click Here.)
One problem was that the screws below the DVD tray were super small, and none of my screwdrivers could unscrew it. Luckily our local Ace Hardware had eyeglass removal kits, and the screwdriver fitted perfectly. After removing all of the screws, I pried off the bottom cover, and surprisingly, it wasn't as dirty as I had expected it to be, although it was pretty dirty in only one spot, the fan and the cooling block. Once brushing off all of the dust, I had reassembled back the laptop and booted it up. It booted into Ubuntu which is what I had installed at the time. I really wanted to try out a Linux distro called Mofo Linux, a private Linux distro where everything is secured. But unfortunately, it didn't let me actually install it onto my laptop, so I resorted to a Distro called Zorin. Zorin is a clean operating system that has a very similar look to Windows 11. Once installed, I downloaded a browser called Opera (which is becoming my favorite browser.). I ran a couple of speed tests plus performance tests on the laptop overall. It works really well in my case, so I will be using it for traveling and schoolwork.
Recently my brother Simeon started a Minecraft survival multiplayer server. We had previously hosted a server, but this time we hosted it on the official Minecraft servers, which they offer for a price of $7 at the regular option, but one major difference from using a 3rd p[arty hosting service is that there is barely any configuration for plugins and mods, etc. The main reason is because of the server running on plain Vanilla Minecraft. But I did some research and found that I could add data packs to the realm by creating the world first in singleplayer, then loading the data pack, and then when you upload the world to the realm, it keeps the data pack. The data pack I used is a Multiplayer Sleep data pack (link here.) This is an amazing alternative to plugins (although I prefer plugins over data packs) but if you have a realm, this will definitely help replace the need for plugins
