If you think the premium …
In the last month the world has changed and it’s not going back to what it was in the near future. People will behave differently. Work will be done differently. We will all interact differently. Three months ago asking for multi-gigabit VPN capacity that can handle all your staff would have been at the bottom …
Using the NoSQL database Firestore with PHP means you need to install a few tools to make it work. The alternative is to use the JavaScript option but when the Firestore access is put into the more secure mode then the backend option with PHP may be needed. The Google docs point to installing the …
So you paid lots of money for a “proper” certificate for your HTTPS website after Google gave non-HTTPS sites a hard time? Well, hopefully you aren’t still using an older Symantec issued certificate as Google (and others) is about to stop trusting those certificates. Chrome version 70 is due for release in September for beta …

So that was easily done under Apache – create a new conf file for the SSL site in /etc/apache2/sites-available, and then update the old conf for the non-SSL site to redirect before requesting a new cert using …
Just finished reading this after a random find during a library visit. I’ve read at least one John Scalzi before and that was a relatively easy but good read. Lock In was a great read and touched on some great sci-fi topics that are close to becoming reality – “wet” impants to the human brain and …
I have a Digital Ocean server that I SSH into from my laptop for mainly development purposes. But I also want to do scheduled downloads of the server backups from a server at home. So I need to SSH from a new machine to my server with no user prompt. Easy, but it always prompts …
