Someone please help. So close! Getting Discord User ID to populate Custom Gluu attribute discordUid during OAuth transaction
— by Hawke Robinson — last modified Aug 07, 2020 07:46 AMI have been hammering pro bono on a project for over a month now. With the help of two different teams from India (Jajati from Centroxy and Kalpesh from Xecurify), and various community support from the Gluu community (and unfortunately very little help or response from any of the Discord community so far), we finally were able to (yesterday) get basic authentication working between Gluu and Discord. Now just need this one last little step working to save this project today. If I can't figure it out, the ENTIRE PROJECT IS TOAST.
Uh Oh, Odoo Community Forum Not so Open?
— by Hawke Robinson — last modified May 31, 2020 11:06 AMI recently posted an Odoo community forum question asking about any options exporting from a newer version (Odoo 13), backwards to an older edition (Odoo 12). They instead tagged it as "not a question" and now it doesn't appear to show up on the community site even when searching for it. This is very dishonest, not open, and worrisome that they have a policy of covering up such questions. That worries me...
Gluu 3.1.7 on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS Password Reset Error
— by Niklas — last modified Jan 31, 2020 09:02 PMTransitioning to Odoo 13
— by Hawke Robinson — last modified Jan 20, 2020 09:56 PMSo, at long last I think we have found a complete replacement for Plone. It breaks my heart that the Plone developer community has fallen apart so badly, but it has been too many years of pain since the Plone 5.x approach has continued down a path that is too far off track from previous versions and typical open source. We are migrating to Odoo 13 Community Edition.

Q4os Linux on Dell 2 in 1 XPS
— by Hawke Robinson — last modified Feb 20, 2020 10:54 AMSince Cent OS 7 was never able to fully support my hardware, and Cent OS 8 doesn't support any of the software I need (see the previous postings), I had to drop CentOS from laptop use. After some research I'm trying out Q4os to see if it can address both the hardware and software requirements. Here are notes on the process...

Heartbroken about what Plone has become :-(
— by Hawke Robinson — last modified Jan 20, 2020 09:30 PMI have been involved with tech since the late 1970s when I first started programming. Fast-forward to the web, and content management systems and web applications, platforms, products, frameworks, etc. Plone has been a stellar solution up until the version 5.x line, and since then something seems to be going more and more "wrong" with the development and community, which breaks my heart...

RPG Research, RPG Therapy, & RPG Therapeutics sites completely removed from Google Search results (Suppressed)!
— by Hawke Robinson — last modified Nov 09, 2018 12:52 AMI have been running my small one-person operation since the 1990s, serving about 30 or so small communities, personal projects, and several small businesses of mine (mostly non-profits). The sites generally are #1 in all search engines for their relevant keywords over the years, no SEO trickier, just honest content. All of a sudden, all of my business listings with Google have disappeared. But much worse yet, all keyword results that used to point to my 30+ various different websites have also all been completely hidden away ( "suppressed"?) from any search results by Google (while still being #1 on all the other search engines). These were a generally number one results for years, and still are on all of the other web search engines (yahoo, bing, duckduckgo, etc.), but have now zero results to all of my busiest community and business sites! And yet results to old outdated servers are all that I can get to come up in Google results now.
Open Source, like Plone, becoming too mercenary?
— by Hawke Robinson — last modified Oct 25, 2018 02:20 PMIt seems in recent years a number of the "open source" communities have become exponentially mercenary, scaling down the core of products to try to force paid development or add ons. Plone is just one of many examples of this unfortunate trend in the open source community (which I have been a part of since the 1980s)...

Debian Stretch 9.5 and Trinity Desktop Environment TDE
— by Hawke Robinson — last modified Dec 26, 2018 12:19 AMI am sick and tired of KDE4 & KDE5 being so awful. I can't stand the totally unproductive interfaces of Gnome. I find the minimalist Desktops pitiful. By far the most productive Desktop Environment was KDE 3.5. But long dead right? Thank goodness, no, there is TDE aka Trinity to save the day! I hope. Here I will log my experiences with Trinity Desktop Environment from the beginning, and progression.
