Fix Inability to Move Files to Trash in VSC

Dynamically Update DNS When Your Server IP Address Changes

I've been running my website on a Raspberry Pi in my home for years.

It may not support all registrars. Configure your domain in your registrar to use a ...

Use Joycons with Steam on Linux

Steam appears to support Joycons. They connect individually but not as a single combined controller.

Looking online there is a suggestion that you need Steam Beta. This doesn't make a difference. The solution was to install this driver: https://github.com/DanielOgorchock/joycond After installation, when you connect a Joycon or Pro Controller, you tap the L and R buttons to tell the driver how your controllers are combined. Now steam recognises it as a single controller. However you will need to connect the controller this way before you start Steam (even for your Pro Controller, which you previously would not have needed to do).
