Following a request to install a new font in a Moodle instance, I did a local install with
sudo mkdir -p /user/share/fonts/googlefonts
cd /usr/share/fonts/googlefonts
sudo unzip -d . ~/Tangerine.zip
sudo fc-cache -fv
Checking to see how critical are prototype pollution vulnerabilities for front-end code, apparently they are:
I had shared some google photos albums using the sharing link, which is of the form https://photos.app.goo.gl/<id> and A said that they could not see the album.
My reply was,
those links are probably not opening in your iPhone because your phone's Apple Mail is not configured to use Safari or Chrome browser to open links.And that seemed to work.
It might work if you long press on the link, choose "Copy", and paste the link in Safari or Chrome browser in your phone.
One of the many sites which list Mongodb vs Postgres comparisons,

Transaction-safety and joins etc are what mongodb doesn't offer, while sharding is its strength.
There was one drive which was being recognized, and another drive which was not. The drive which was being recognized had the original 16 GB FAT32 partition, while the one which was not being recognized had been used as a Linux Mint installation disk, and had been later reformatted as FAT32 using the "Disks" utility on Linux Mint.
Suspecting that block size might be the issue, to show the block size,
sudo mkfs.fat /dev/(device name from above) -s 64 -F 16Then, tried GParted. GParted showed the partition to be of type iso9660!
Unmounted, Deleted the partition, recreated partition table with device -> create partition table (msdos), formatted as msdos, then the Firestick recognizes it OK even though the block size is 8K as shown in
stat -f /media/mac/LM

https://www.internalpointers.com/post/right-folder-permission-website - Good solution is to chown -R all files and folder to yourusername:www-data - so that the web server and you can access, and then chmod 750 for all files / folders - "read, write and execute (7) for the owner (i.e. you), read and execute (5) for the group owner (i.e. the web server), zero permissions at all (0) for others."
(But when we want Moodle to be able to update plugins with the web interface, we've used 775 instead.)
OCVWarp deployment from Travis-CI to Github Releases failed because the token had expired. When creating a new token, I tried a fine-grained token with write permissions to releases on that repo alone. But that did not seem to work. A "classic" personal token with "repo" scope worked fine.

Of course, this is just a side project, but the approach is interesting.
How to migrate your WhatsApp data from Android to iPhone | WhatsApp Help Center
Though this method was followed, only the photos and media were transferred from whatsapp, not the chat history. Probably that was because whatsapp had been earlier installed on the iphone, though it was then removed with "delete all data"?

While setting up the Firestick, we wanted to create a new dedicated account for it, but it asked for a unique phone number - so we just used my account.
We found VLC player was stuttering with our 4K videos on USB, but MXPlayer works with hardware acceleration, and plays them perfectly. To access MXPlayer without internet, via Quora,
Settings --> “Applications” --> “Manage installed applications” --> "MXPlayer" --> "Launch"
And it looks like there is no "shutdown" option - we just press "home" to come out of MXPlayer, and then turn off power to the device.
Our Firestick runs FireOS 6.4, but we did not have to do any ADB commands to use FAT32 formatted USB memory. The ADB commands in this pdf may be useful for increasing system usable memory, installing apps and so on, but not needed for us.
As recommended in this troubleshooting video, when connecting for the first time, doing so from the "home" screen might be beneficial.
How to play our own content from USB on Amazon Firestick
We can't just connect the firestick to a computer and transfer files to its internal memory - MTP does not work with Firestick 4k -
Investigating unresponsive server behaviour on one of our servers,
grep -i error /var/log/syslog
showed some lines with WALinuxAgent - this is Azure's agent, I guess, as well as snapd.
snapd[63805]: stateengine.go:149: state ensure error: cannot query the store for updates

How to remove LXD from my system - LXD - Linux Containers Forum
So I left it alone, and tried a manual update with
sudo snap refresh
which indicated all packages were up to date. So maybe the error was a temporary error.
One of our Linux servers was becoming unresponsive around 2-5 pm daily over 2-3 days. Checked the logs as in my earlier post but did not find anything except the usual SSH brute-forcing attacks. Changed the port from 22 to something else by
sudo nano /etc/ssh/sshd_config
sudo service sshd restart
And opened the new port on Azure portal Networking screen.
This seems to have worked.
