I’ve recently been look­ing at how best to run wp-cron manu­ally from the sys­tem to avoid a per­form­ance hit when a vis­it­or loads the site. I’ve so far found 3 dif­fer­ent ways to run this. There may be others.

0OpenTTDClassic games cloned as open source

ਪ੍ਰਕਾਸ਼ਿਤ ਨਾਲ & ਤਹਿਤ ਦਾਇਰ ਕੀਤੀ ਹੈ Misc Software. ਆਖਰੀ ਵਾਰ ਅੱਪਡੇਟ ਕੀਤਾ ਗਿਆ .

I’ve long been a big fan of Trans­port Tycoon and have been play­ing OpenTTD for many years. I recently thought I’d look to see if any oth­er clas­sic games have been sim­il­arly cloned, and it turns out quite a few have!

0Mozilla Firefox LogoUse encrypted SNI in firefox and sync the setting

ਪੋਸਟ ਕੀਤਾ ਨਾਲ & ਤਹਿਤ ਦਾਇਰ ਕੀਤੀ ਹੈ Web Technologies.

I’m always look­ing to keep my inter­net access as secure as pos­sible. One thing that recent came to light is encryp­ted SNI. If you don’t know what this is google is your friend. If you want to make use of it in fire­fox you have to turn it on as it is off by default

0windows 8 logoscript to create and name network shares

ਪੋਸਟ ਕੀਤਾ ਨਾਲ & ਤਹਿਤ ਦਾਇਰ ਕੀਤੀ ਹੈ Windows.

When updat­ing or repla­cing a home PC I use Win­dows Deploy­ment Ser­vices (WDS) to rein­stall Win­dows. It means I only have to main­tain a single up-to-date source for all the little free apps I use (Fire­fox, 7zip, Kodi, etc) and makes a new setup much more pain­less. One of the few bugs that has irrit­ated me for ages is the net­work drive map that I cre­ate has always had to be renamed manually.

0windows 8 logoWindows shares not connected after wake fixed

ਪੋਸਟ ਕੀਤਾ ਨਾਲ & ਤਹਿਤ ਦਾਇਰ ਕੀਤੀ ਹੈ Windows.

I’ve had a very long stand­ing prob­lem where mapped drives on Win­dows PCs are shown as dis­con­nec­ted after a PC wakes from sleep or after a reboot. Click­ing to open the drive res­ults in a delay of sev­er­al seconds and then the share opens. I had this prob­lem with Win­dows 7 right through to Win­dows 10 1909. Today, thanks to a dif­fer­ent issue, I finally cracked it.

0Wordpress LogoWordPress updates progress

ਪ੍ਰਕਾਸ਼ਿਤ ਨਾਲ & ਤਹਿਤ ਦਾਇਰ ਕੀਤੀ ਹੈ Wordpress. ਆਖਰੀ ਵਾਰ ਅੱਪਡੇਟ ਕੀਤਾ ਗਿਆ .

I’ve had an issue for a while now where installing word­press updates does­n’t show any mes­sages or pro­gress. The updates gen­er­ally do install but it is tricky to know when the updates have fin­ished. There are a few threads online with pos­sible solu­tions but most of them haven’t been help­ful in my case.

0Canon CanoScan LIDE ScannerGetting old scanners working with Windows 10 64bit

ਪੋਸਟ ਕੀਤਾ ਨਾਲ & ਤਹਿਤ ਦਾਇਰ ਕੀਤੀ ਹੈ Windows.

Many years back I wrote an art­icle about how to get old scan­ners work­ing with Win­dows 7 x64. I recently upgraded the PC con­nec­ted to the scan­ners to Win­dows 10 and was faced with the same chal­lenge all over again. Amaz­ingly the same tricks worked and both scan­ners are now work­ing! Below I detail pre­cisely how to achieve this.

0Wordpress LogoWebsite testing tools

ਪ੍ਰਕਾਸ਼ਿਤ ਨਾਲ & ਤਹਿਤ ਦਾਇਰ ਕੀਤੀ ਹੈ Wordpress. ਆਖਰੀ ਵਾਰ ਅੱਪਡੇਟ ਕੀਤਾ ਗਿਆ .

I am con­stantly work­ing on both my web­sites and my web serv­er stack with the aim of it being fast, reli­able and secure. New tech­no­lo­gies and new vul­ner­ab­il­it­ies mean a con­stanyl mov­ing tar­get and some­times things that have been pre­vi­ously fixed can recur. As well as main­tain­ing art­icles about many fixes, and a site updates log, I use a range of web­site test­ing tools. As this list has grown it has reached a point where I felt the need to doc­u­ment the ser­vices I use

0Wordpress LogoWordPress visual editor not working

ਪੋਸਟ ਕੀਤਾ ਨਾਲ & ਤਹਿਤ ਦਾਇਰ ਕੀਤੀ ਹੈ Wordpress.

I’ve had an issue for a little while where the word­press visu­al edit­or but­ton stopped work­ing. The code edit­or was fine, and the but­ton for the visu­al edit­or is present but click­ing on it has no effect. After much fid­dling around I finally dis­covered it was being broken by my Con­tent Secur­ity Policy!

0HTML5 LogoResponsive background images for websites

ਪੋਸਟ ਕੀਤਾ ਨਾਲ & ਤਹਿਤ ਦਾਇਰ ਕੀਤੀ ਹੈ Web Technologies.

I’ve recently been updat­ing my web­sites and web serv­er and adding a new site (LoveCrete.org). I wanted to have a back­ground image on LoveCrete and real­ised that of course 1 size does­n’t fit all screens. Here is a sum­mary of what my think­ing was and what I did to cater for the numer­ous screen sizes and orientations.
