I use Sublime Text on both Windows and Mac and I love it. Recently I discovered that for some reason multi line editing wont work. This is very handy feature that allows you to edit more than one line at the same time and I use it quite often.
The easiest way to enter multi-line editing mode, is by pressing Control + Shift + L simultaneously, but for some reason it wont work anymore.
Apparently, the problem is caused after I upgraded my AMD Drivers and I got that Radeon thing sitting in my task-bar (that I didn’t had before or I have disabled it previously). This tool uses exactly the same hot-key combo as Sublime and it prevents sublime from functioning.
Here’s how you can fix this. First start AMD Radeon utility, click on Gaming tab and then click on Global Settings.
Next click on Performance Monitoring tab and there you have it, the first item on the list called Toggle Performance Logging Hotkey is using the hotkey CTRL+Shift+L hotkey. Click on it to change it and press Delete key to remove hotkey for that function, and the value will change from Ctrl+Shift+L to None.
At this point your Sublime multi-line editing tool is working again and you may close this AMD Radeon thing.
Last year Microsoft bought GitHub for $7.5B and shortly after that they have changed their policy on private repositories. Before, private repositories were reserved only for paying members, but since January 7th 2019 even non-paying users are allowed to have unlimited private repositories.
In case you want to migrate your private repository from BitBucket to GitHub and keep all the previous gits.
First, login to your GitHub and make a new empty private repository (do not tick “Initialize this repository with a README”). You can use any name but the best practice is to use the same name as on BitBucket.
Now let’s clone the repository from BitBucket and push it back to GitHub. Make sure to replace geektnt with your bitbucket/github username and coolproject with an actual repository name.
At this point you can remove old BitBucket repository if everything works at GitHub.
This way to migrate worked out amazing for me and I have moved couple of my older private projects from BitBucket to GitHub so I can have them all at one place.
cPanel recently announced that they will change their pricing and licensing structure starting September 1st. Apart from raising the license prices and changing their names they have also included a limits in number of sites (accounts) a license can have.
New cPanel offer now includes two licenses for clouds: Admin license costs $20/month and allows you to host a up to 5 accounts (websites) per a cloud (VPS), Pro license costs $30/month and allows you to host up to 30 accounts on one cloud (VPS).
Other than these two there is also a Premier license that can be installed on cloud (VPS) or metal (dedicated server) and for price of $45/month allows you to host up to 100 accounts. If you have more than 100 accounts you will be charged $0.20 for each additional account per month.
New cPanel pricing scheme
You can check their new pricing structure at their website at https://cpanel.net/pricing/ . They have also published a Licensing Guide a PDF file that should clarify what will change and how.
What’s interesting is that the cPanel was sold in August 2018 to Oakley Investment and just after a year they have decided to totally change their pricing structure, even then they said that there will be “no immediate customer impact”. Well it took them the whole year to figure out how to make a bank out of cPanel – so it’s not “immediate”.
This price change will affects mostly resellers and users that have more than 100 accounts on their servers and many of these reported that their licensing cost will increase even over 800% basically overnight.
cPanel is probably the best web hosting control panel, but what are the good alternatives? Here’s the complete 2019 list of cPanel alternatives:
Since iOS 11 your images that you shoot with your iPhone can now be saved in two formats:
High Efficiency (the new HEIC format)
Most Compatible (standard JPEG format)
If you go to Settings -> Camera -> Formats you’ll see these two options. On all iPhone 7 or newer devices High Efficiency format is enabled by default.
New High Efficiency (HEIC) format
Most people are familiar with JPEG format since it’s been around for ages. But what’s that new High Efficiency (HEIC) format all about?
DigitalOcean S3 compatible object storage called Spaces allows you to store and serve large amounts of data. They are easy to create and are ready to be used within seconds without any configuration. They are ideal for storing static unstructured data like audio, video and images as well as binary files, archives, backups etc.
What’s so cool about Spaces compared to Amazon S3 is the fact that their pricing structure is WAY more easier to understand and predict. For $5/month you get 250 GB of storage and 1 TB of outbound transfer (inbound/upload is always free). Every additional GB stored costs $0.02 and every additional GB transferred costs $0.01. On top of that you can even serve these files utilizing use their free CDN service at no additional cost! (This alone on Amazon CloudFront can cost you a little fortune!).
Now back to the main topic: mounting DigitalOcean Space as a folder on your server that can be used to store any kind of data.
