I switched my Docker backend from Hyper-V to WSL2

I’ve been using Docker for nearly three years now, primarily for development purposes. As a Windows user, I’ve consistently utilized Hyper-V as the backend. This choice was mainly due to the poor performance of the WSL2 backend, particularly because I insisted on keeping my application files on the Windows partition. Although the Hyper-V backend worked adequately for me, it was still slower than production, even on my high-end desktop PC. Consequently, I never felt compelled to switch to the WSL2 backend, despite it being considered the future of Docker for some time.

How Firefox annoyed me with automatic form caching

I don’t know when or why, but Firefox started caching forms, probably as a protection against accidental deletion, for example by refreshing the page. It may seem like a great feature for users, but I find it very non-standard.

Windows - Clipboard History

A great feature in Windows 10 is the native support for Clipboard History. This means that the clipboard (Ctrl + V) doesn’t just remember the last item copied, but remembers multiple items.

How to play retro games - fake consoles? Nintendo and SEGA

I have already written about how to create a gaming console from a Raspberry Pi. With the help of an emulator, you can play games from various consoles. However, it didn’t work out for me. Sometimes it didn’t want to turn on or it caused problems.

Simpler Posting to Multiple Social Media Accounts - Postfity

Recently, I wanted to boost the social media presence of my projects and since posting on Facebook is so tedious and annoying, I looked for a program (or service, although I would prefer a simple application…) that would allow me to post to multiple networks at once. For one project, maybe Facebook and Twitter, for another, Facebook and Instagram, etc.

How I Cleaned My Nose

Jala neti is originally a yoga tool. However, you don’t have to be a yogi to try it. It’s a simple kettle into which you pour water, insert it into one nostril, and let the water flow out through the other nostril.

How to Illuminate Your Bed with LED Strips Like a Pro

This article is a follow-up to an older piece - How to Make a Pallet Bed with Lights Like a Pro - where I used a regular 20m string of lights to illuminate the bed and somewhat falsely labeled it as LED lights in the article…

Percona Toolkit for analyzing MySQL slow log on Windows

Analyzing MySQL slow log is one of the basic and most powerful ways to speed up a website and prevent overloading the database server. The idea is to look at SQL queries that took too long and were frequently executed, and then optimize them (by adding indexes or rewriting, grouping, splitting, etc.).

Google Shopping - how to have multiple websites under one account

It may seem unbelievable, but by default, Google Shopping does not allow you to manage multiple websites (e-commerce stores) under one account. You have to request it here and wait a few days. After that, your account will be upgraded and you will be able to manage multiple e-commerce stores.

5 Useful Developer Extensions for Chrome

Hey, I offer an overview of extensions that I use when developing websites. They are practically the only extensions I use, besides AdBlock. I try to keep them to a minimum.

cmder: upgraded console for Windows

Unfortunately, cmd.exe has been the same for several (dozens of) years and lacks many pleasant features compared to Unix terminals. And if it doesn’t lack them, it’s incompatible with Unix, which can be an obstacle in development - many tutorials are written for Unix and you will encounter it on servers as well. It’s difficult to copy and paste from and to it, scrolling is difficult, standard Unix commands don’t work, etc.

How to type faster on a keyboard?

I don’t mean typing directly, but mainly deleting and editing text. When you press the Backspace key, hold it down and wait until it starts to repeat. This interval can be shortened to a minimum, which saves time in the long run but especially does not delay you with awkward waiting. In addition to the Backspace key, you can also use the cursor arrows when moving through text.

DIY Dog Bed Made from an Old Tire!

My friends often call me a true hipster, DIY lover, handmade enthusiast and other similar names. I simply enjoy doing manual work that deviates from the common understanding of consumer society.

How to Make a Glowing Pallet Bed Like a Boss

First, you need to find pallets, which is almost a superhuman task. If you want new, beautiful, standardized EURO pallets with a load capacity of 2 tons with evenly distributed weight, you will usually encounter an approach like min. 300 pallets, 250 CZK / piece, where do you want to send the truck? But if you’re a true hipster like me, you’ll settle for used and completely mismatched pallets. For example, the company LEDtech internet trade s.r.o. specializes in them. 14875067_1264007116954979_2007546264_n

How I fixed my Xbox 360

Recently, my Xbox 360 broke down with the classic RROD (Red Ring of Death) after only a month of use. It was purchased from Aukra, so it’s not surprising. I have a feeling it had already been repaired before I got it, as there were a few broken legs on the processor before I started working on it, but the warranty sticker was still intact. A kind soul quickly got me a new one, but I also bought a repair kit from eBay. The kit consisted of 8 screws, several washers, and thermal paste.

Which browser is the best?

None of them. In the past few months, I have tried Firefox, Internet Explorer, and Opera instead of Chrome, and I don’t know the winner. However, I disqualify Opera due to its non-existent bookmarks.

No reason to use BS Player anymore

If you still use the BS Player, an ergonomic nightmare from the days of burning movies onto CDs, pay attention. You probably use it for downloading subtitles, if not, stop reading.

How do I like playing on Xbox?

Good :) Finally, I can try and play games that I couldn’t even dream of on my laptop. All I need to do is buy an Xbox 360, which can be found on Aukro for just over 2,000, connect it to the TV and that’s it. Although it doesn’t have as great graphics as a computer worth 30,000, it doesn’t bother me on the TV and I never cared about graphics anyway. The main thing for me has always been the smoothness of the game.

Registering in web catalogs / directories - does it have any meaning?

A silly question. Whatever the case may be, I wouldn’t worry about it.
