Computing / Greetings from Chrome OS Flex
« Last post by digiSal on June 22, 2022, 02:40:06 am »
So Google has now released an "official" Chrome OS that can be installed on PCs. There was an unofficial version called Cloudready but Chrome OS Flex is actually from Google. I don't see a Dual Boot options when installing so I am running from USB Stick on a Dell Intel i5.

Looking forward to testing it as a daily. I do love Chromebooks.

Site News / Let's Encrypt and Wordpress and SMF
« Last post by digiSal on July 29, 2018, 01:18:11 am »
The whole site is now running SSL. I followed this guide by digital ocean:
https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-set-up-let-s-encrypt-with-nginx-server-blocks-on-ubuntu-16-04

I was still getting an insecure warning in chrome but after using Chrome's inspector I found that it didnt like that all the attachments in wordpress were still using http. It gets redirected but it still didn like it.

Velvet URL Blues to the rescue:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/velvet-blues-update-urls/
I must've used it once before since it was already installed but deactivated. Had it replace http with https and fixed the errors.

Then, this forum broke! All I had to do was run the repair_settings.php to update the URL to https. Here is a neat trick. I have the repair_settings.php file sitting in my dropbox. I SSH into my server and grab it with wget. Works like a charm every time!

Site News / HTTP Error when uploading images to wordpress
« Last post by digiSal on July 27, 2018, 07:13:12 pm »
I use an NGINX web server on my Ubuntu server and I kept getting HTTP Error when uploading images.

These links helped me fix it:
https://wordimpress.com/wordpress-nginx-http-error-on-image-uploader-fix/#comment-57740
https://wordpress.org/support/topic/http-error-on-image-uploader-1/

I had to edit:
Code: [Select]
/etc/nginx/nginx.conf
and add
Code: [Select]
client_max_body_size 100m;
to the http{} section.

I reloaded nginx with
Code: [Select]
sudo systemctl reload nginx
and the error went away.

Site News / Greetings from Amazon Web Services

So, almost a year ago I moved my site/blog/forums to Google Cloud Engine, see this post because my host powweb.com was getting pricey. I had 300$ credit with Google so that's where I went. I used up all that money and the hosting was going to be even more expensive so I signed up for Amazon's free tier on AWS. All my sites and this forum are now here. I never use this forum, it is just an archive of how things used to be. Maybe I'll post what I learned during the migration. Or maybe blog it? I dunno what to do any more lol

my sites hosted on aws now are:
www.digisal.com
www.digisal.com/smf
www.petitebaker.com

I also moved one site over to a free host to see how that goes.
www.salsholsters.com
That is hosted on Gwiddle:
https://host.gwiddlefoundation.org.uk/

Thoughts?

Gaming / Removed all Games

Since I migrated servers, and since the forum was an old version. It was easier to do a fresh install without any plugins/games.

Site News / Greetings from Google Clound Engine
« Last post by digiSal on August 15, 2017, 07:13:09 pm »
So i've been hosting this forum on my site/blog on www.powweb.com since about 2001/2002. It's getting too expensive! I managed to get a 300$ credit from Google Cloud Engine and I have been hosting a few sites there these past two months. So I figured i'd make the move of my personal stuff over here.

I dont get tons of traffic so it should hold up.

Let me know if anyone needs help with Google Cloud Engine and hosting sites!
