The title might be mouthful, but WordPress’ embedded tag cloud widget has a default limit on how many tags it will display. The widget does not update automatically based on the space, —yes, I was surprised to find out about it too— and the maximum number of tags the widget displays is set as a…
Normally a user can test the proxy server with any tools, —mine was Firefox until recently— but there is a time when more bare bone approach is needed —like when my Firefox started acting up. Jokes aside, it’s good to have an appropriate tool to test just the right subject, in which case the proxy…
Before I get into details, if I have to fathom a guess based on what I’ve read so far, this is likely a bug on Firefox’s part. I’m not up to date with Firefox development and the priority lists they must have; but reading some of the other proxy plugins GitHub gave some ideas as…
I’m still in the process of gathering more information on the subject, but I did manage to find what could be the another source of the same problem. Please read through the symptoms part of the previous post to see if this is your case. But to put simply, when your website uses a cache…
There is a problem with all IoT or smart home devices: external access. This is a problem that all users at some point have to ask themselves how they would like to approach it. What’s the point of having internet-enabled, sensor-filled, micro smart devices in each room, if none of them will respond soon as…
Tmux comes in incredibly handy in multitude of situations, and one of them is when you are handling multiple ssh connections to pi devices or something akin to IoT devices. Assuming all the setup is already done on the local device, and this is part of your regular maintenance routine, logging in to each device…
This is one of the odd balls I found with Steam client. As the client hasn’t seen major improvement since release, apparently it’s a common knowledge Steam has marginal support of exFAT, unreliable even at the best of times. Back in the good ol’ days when I used HDD as the one and only drive…
Hopefully using his last name instead of his first name helped with the spoiler tags. If you want to find out who the boss is for yourself now is the chance to avert thine eyes. Silent Hill 2 came out in 2001, and there are simply too many medias influenced by the legend itself, so…
In my previous post on how to setup VPN VLAN, I discussed the methodology of setting one for the first time. Now that it’s near Black Friday of 2024, some of the VPN providers have already started pre Black Friday sale in October. No doubt consumers are shopping for which service is right for their…
Recently I moved the m.2 SSD from a NAS to a Mac. A NAS running on Linux was better served with expanded memory, so I thought to use the SSD to expand the internal storage of my workstation. Upgrading process was straightforward, but there was a problem moving games from Steam Library to the newly…
Of many things Apple Silicon brought, I am still curious whether or not Apple is willing to bring dGPUs into Mac Pro lines of their products. Despite how useful other PCI-based cards may be, most users, at least the ones that are most vocal, express their desire to use more powerful graphics card on Mac…
No doubt different writers have different post publishing schedules, but we all do have a schedule —or at least try— to follow. What used to be simple ‘schedule to publish’ on WordPress is quite no more, however, with many hosting services now require WordPress hosted websites to take advantage of caching. Personally I find it…
This one belongs in the “there is an app for that” department. If you are an avid NAS user, chances are most of your drives are already connected via network. And that means, on every boot up, you will need to manually login to the NAS on Finder to mount the drives. One might call…
For unknown reason, Microsoft can’t stop shipping its OS without more bloatware. Both Mac and Linux can be guilty of the same crime, but I am more surprised that Windows doesn’t have a dedicated ‘lite’ version available for .iso on the website. To reiterate, Windows is shipped with Bing search embedded on the start menu.…
Synology NAS is weirdly customizable for a NAS. This one is a compliment. Not only Synology offers various NAS models, each models have usually have few upgradeable points, namely m.2 SSDs and RAM. This piece is about choosing the RAM, why someone would consider upgrading the RAM, and what would be the potential downsides of…
