Probably some of us have friends who have MacBook computers. Some of them purchased them some time ago and, despite still working, have been made obsolete and stopped from further support from Apple.
When the device is out of support life, it does not receive any further software updates. This is putting their users at risk of unpatched variabilities but also causing problems using outdated software like Internet Browser.
I got friends who purchased MacBook Air 11th-inch Mid-2013 (A1465) at a very similar time when I purchased my first MacBook Pro. Since then I updated and I am currently on my 3rd with an M1 processor.
If you follow my website and posts related to OpenWrt you have probably come across my post about installing a VPN server on an OpenWrt router using WireGuard.
WireGuard is one of the fastest protocols available for creating a VPN connection. Thanks to it, from the Internet, we can easily connect to our network and use it, either for local purposes (access to a printer or network drive) or to limit regional restrictions. Being outside the country, I can connect to my router at any time and my device will appear on the Internet as if it were where the router is, i.e. in the UK.
This super fast solution, however, requires configuration, which can sometimes be complex and cause various errors (although it is usually much easier than other VPNs).
WireGuard also has a limitation. To connect to our router, we need an external (static or dynamic, it doesn’t matter) IP address.
It’s not the first time we’ve been in this situation where when we start using a service, it’s turned into a cash cow or killed like a fly.
Google is famous for killing its services. This time, they’re not exactly killing another one, but selling it to another company is no different.
I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve told my friends and their friends not to send pictures over WhatsApp. If you must do it, please at least change this one thing first to make everyone’s life easier.
The great thing about Hugo, a static site generator, is that it got a lot of options for customisation and more are constantly added.
There are templates embedded into it, but they can be easily overridden by custom templates, like headings, through render hooks.
In early 2025, Microsoft officially deprecated Bing News PubHub, moving away from a manual submission model for news publishers.
The manual submission process is fully retired. Existing publishers who were already approved remain in the index, but the portal for new applications has been disabled.
I am providing the following article for reference only.
Recently I wrote about how to Publish your content in Google News on Android, iOS and news.google.com. Looking further I checked if there is such an option in other search engines like… Bing.
Bing is also offering aggregated News in Bing News along with serving this through integration into the Windows operating system.
Users can get their personalized content through Bing and Microsoft Start, Windows, Edge and Office.
Setting a hreflang meta tag on your multilingual website shall be as simple as a piece of cake. Just put the relevant meta tag on your website, refer to the translated version and on translated version refer back to the original one.
Looks as simple as that. End of story? Wrong!
My post about Bing Jail gained a bit of attention (a lot!). With the traction, there is hate, but I could expect that as well. There was a bit of conversation in the comments on Hacker News which gives me valuable feedback.
This short, post scriptum post is not an explanation but rather my experience on the following days. My site reappear in Bing search for one day to be manually removed (blocked) the day after where Bing Support, who surprisingly responded, start looking into the case.
My personal site has been recently penalized by Bing, or if you prefer different naming for it - secretly blacklisted or shadowbanned. Don’t know exactly why but by the end of January 2023 I lost every indexed page that had been in Bing.
Do you encounter a problem that your router slows down from time to time? Websites that usually open very quickly suddenly slow down. It’s not always your internet connection’s fault. Sometimes the fault lies with the router.
