Second Year Of How To Geek Growing Pains And Lessons Learned

For more on this topic, see last year’s article: A Few Things I’ve Learned from Writing at How-To Geek Numbers and Charts and Graphs! First we’ll start off with the good stuff… we experienced massive growth this year, and though December has been slower than average I’m quite certain next year will be even better. We did well this year, the 28 million pageviews came pretty close to 3x the pageviews from last year and definitely exceeded my expectations (although not my goal of 30 million)....

Shell Script To Upload A File To The Same Subdirectory On A Remote Server

So, I’ve taken it upon myself to write a shell script to automate this for me, using scp for secure file copying. (Important Side Note:ftp is horribly insecure, use WinSCP instead) The main problem to solve was that my WordPress install on my development machine has a different base directory than the installation on my server. On my development machine it’s /var/www, and on my server is something more like /var/www/howtogeek/docs/....

Split A Text File In Half Or Any Percentage On Ubuntu Linux

Enter split, wc, tail, cat, and grep. (don’t forget sed and awk). Linux contains a rich set of utilities for working with text files on the command line. For our task today we will use split and wc.

If we wanted to import this into Excel, we would need to keep it less than 65k lines....

The Galaxy S22 Reviews Are In Here S What Critics Love

Samsung Galaxy S22 Reviews If you’re looking for the slightly more affordable Galaxy S22, the reviews are mostly positive across the board.

Cnet said, “The Galaxy S22’s design is great for people who prefer smaller devices, if you’re willing to compromise on battery life.” Despite the battery life issue, they gave the more affordable Galaxy S22 an 8....

Using Password Phrases For Better Security

Why do I use password phrases? Why would you want to remember a password like 2%d7as$d when you could just remember a sentence like “nsync sucks giant monkey balls” or “I hate my ex-wife!” or “Holy hell does this job suck!” You can use uppercase, lowercase, special characters, or even spaces… but you are using them in context, which makes it much more natural to remember. Post-it notes on your monitor are not secure....

What Is Solana And Why Is It Called An Ethereum Killer

Background of Solana Solana was created in 2017 by Anatoly Yakovenko to build something similar to what other blockchains allow but to keep costs low by increasing performance. To do this, Solana uses a hybrid solution featuring a unique network design that works to sidestep the “blockchain trilemma” that challenges many blockchain designs by positing that blockchains are always forced to make trade-offs between decentralization, security, and scalability. The experience of using Solana lies in stark contrast to networks like Ethereum as the user experience is vastly improved with transactions that cost a few cents and settle almost instantly....

5 Reasons To Choose Stadia Over Other Cloud Gaming Platforms

Access Your Mysql Server Remotely Over Ssh

So instead, we’ll just use port-forwarding through an SSH tunnel, so your MySQL client thinks it’s connecting to your localhost machine, but it’s really connecting to the other server through the tunnel. If you are using the command line ssh, the command would look like this. (You can do the same thing graphically in Putty or SecureCRT options if you need to) The syntax is ssh -L hostname @. We’re using localhost as the hostname because we are directly accessing the remote mysql server through ssh....
