=> ↺ How to Install and Use GNU nano to Edit Files on Linux
If you're starting your Linux journey, creating and editing files is one of the critical things you'll be doing, especially if you're planning to get your hands dirty with shell scripting. One of the most common command-line text editors on Linux is GNU nano, which comes pre-installed on most modern Linux distros.
=> ↺ How to Install WordPress on Ubuntu
WordPress is a comprehensive content management system (CMS) powering a lot of the websites that you visit daily.
If you'd like to get started developing WordPress websites but are not ready to pay for a server on the cloud, you can run and host your WordPress site locally on your PC. Here's everything you need to know about installing WordPress on Linux.
=> ↺ How to Disable IPv6 on RHEL using grubby
In computing, there are two types of IP addresses, IPv4 and IPv6. IPv6 offers a much larger addressing scheme than IPv4.
=> ↺ Distributing configuration and control of WiFiMon hardware probes
[...]
Communication between the WAS and the underlying WHPs is possible via the Salt infrastructure management tool. Salt establishes application layer communication among devices, therefore enabling WiFiMon administrators to control and reconfigure WHPs, such as modifying measurement intervals, without physically connecting to them. Moreover, WiFiMon takes advantage of important features provided by Salt. Specifically, by relying on the ZeroMQ message broker, Salt is scalable and allows for reconfiguring the available WHPs in parallel regardless of their total number.
=> ↺ Getting my backup Internet connection through BlueTooth on Linux
Suppose, not entirely hypothetically, that your normal DSL Internet connection is down (for example, because the local phone company did something to your line and hasn't fixed it yet), and you need to get Internet by tethering your Linux desktop machine to your smartphone. The easiest way to do this is to be using a modern Linux desktop along with NetworkManager and so on; at that point you can basically click through the various GUIs to connect to your phone's hotspot through wifi, a direct USB connection, or BlueTooth, depending on what you have available. This will handle joining the phone's ad-hoc wifi network, pairing over USB and/or BlueTooth, and all of the other setup you need. However, I don't use a modern Linux desktop.
=> ↺ Tailwind, and the death of web craftsmanship
Tailwind started out as a particularly good set of Utility CSS classes. It was notable for being heavily configurable from day one. Its class names were reasonable, and it established certain useful conventions regarding sizing, color systems (very similar to that of Material Design), and lots of other common base settings. Some of these were "borrowed" from old libraries like Bootstrap, others were just created out of the need to buy-into utility CSS wholesale. Early versions of tailwind were horrifically heavy and slow. You'd have to ship megabytes of CSS, for a page that might have a half dozen styled "things" on it. And it was rightly lambasted for this. Utility classes were supposed to make things easier, faster, more convenient, and shipping a JPG worth of unused CSS was not in line with that. Tailwind eventually fixed this, with a generator approach, which would scan your codebase, pull out tailwind classes, and only put them in the generated CSS output. This also let tailwind grow the ability to have arbitrary values, without having to update a configuration file. Now you could do bg-[#ffccff] for a pinkish background, without having to add it to your color scheme. Useful, but dangerous too. Tailwind even sprouted component libraries, built atop tailwind. The tailwind devs have one, called TailwindUI, and there's an open-source one called Daisy.
=> ↺ The complex simplicity of my static websites
So many people obsess over the size of their JS or CSS, but fail to realize that the bulk of their page is unnecessarily large and not well compressed images.
Of course, I was one of those people.
=> ↺ Dark Mode and Marginal Benefit
Dark mode is now everywhere (this blog has it). It’s both accessibility-driven and aesthetically pleasing. But it often isn’t the highest benefit feature (and rarely, if ever, a feature that leads to product-market-fit).
