Because your time is valuable
I tested many different options for creating wordart/wordclouds online. Some of them worked well but then exporting wasn’t free. Others were a bit too simple with not much to customize. But this one is both free and it has plenty of handy customizations available: https://www.wordclouds.com/
Sometimes you have a file with tens or hundreds of lines of text and you need to wrap each line with double quotes and a comma so that it can be easily put inside a javascript array. This can happen for example if your data is rows in a spreadsheet. Here’s how you can go from a list of lines to a quoted, comma separated list:
Use a code editor with search/replace functionality. I used Notepad++ for this example.
Open find/replace and make sure it’s in Regular Expression mode.
Type in the search field the following:
(.+)Type in the replace field the following:
"$1",Then simply hit replace all. You will go from a file looking like this:

The easiest way I found was this:
Select the “entire account by day” report type.
Go to the “search or filter your data” input box and choose “site”.
Choose the site you want to see reported. Hit apply.
Now you should see a daily breakdown for just a single site.
If you have been doing web development using port 10080 you might have run into some issues recently since many browsers including Chrome and Firefox have decided to add that port to their blocked ports list.
I use a tool called InstantWP for WordPress development and it’s using port 10080 for http by default.
I first researched the option to change the ports IWP is using. It seems like it could be done from the config file which you can open from the “Advanced” tab by clicking “Edit Config File”. In the file that opens you should see a setting called PortOffset. I tried to change that but couldn’t get it to work even after trying many different numbers for the port offset.
I also tried to add a flag into Chrome’s startup parameters by right-clicking the Chrome icon and choosing properties. Then I replaced the value under “target” with the following string:
“C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe” –explicitly-allowed-ports=10080
However that didn’t seem to fix the situation in my case. I still got the same “unsafe port” error from Chrome.
What finally helped was switching to Firefox and performing these steps:
Then paste in this string to the search bar:
network.security.ports.banned.override
Choose “string” as the type (I know, number would seem more logical), click on the + button and enter the port number you want to allow (in my case 10080).
Now you should be able to access applications via that port!
If you are doing a lot of screencasts with Zoom in which you share your screen, you might be wondering how you can stop the little video frame from the webcam being included in the recording. Luckily there is an option in the zoom settings to do just that.
Start by clicking on the little cogwheel symbol in order to open the Zoom settings:
Next go to the “Recording” tab and there you can find the “Record video during screen sharing” setting:
TIP: If you forgot to include the installer.php file, you can unzip the zipped archive and copy the “installer-backup.php” file from there and just rename it “installer.php”.
In the Duplicator FAQ they recommend uploading the packages through the “theme folder” button in IWP. That didn’t really make a difference in my tests though (I just uploaded the files by copy-pasting with SFTP Net Drive). Note that the installer will throw an error if there are other files present in the installation folder so make sure you delete the old WordPress files. Unfortunately even with these steps we seem to get stuck on Step 3. I recommend checking the error log if this happens. You might need to install php-xml with sudo apk add php-xml. Or you might have to update your PHP version if you are getting errors like this;
INSTALLER ERROR: [PHP ERR][FATAL] MSG:Uncaught Error: Call to undefined function token_get_all() in /var/www/localhost/htdocs/wordpress/duplicator/dup-installer/lib/config/class.wp.config.tranformer.php:387
That wasn’t the main problem in my case though (it seems like a function should be enabled “By web host”).
If you get an error when trying to install that the folder doesn’t have write permissions, do the following: Check the working directory you are in with “pwd” and the contents of the folder you are currently in with “ls”. You might have to elevate yourself to root user with sudo -s and the type in cd /var/. If you can see “var” in the list, then cd into it with cd var. You can cd into localhost even if it’s not listed with cd localhost. You shouldn’t need to change folder permissions here, but if you need to do that in some other situation, you can use chmod like in this example we are giving a folder called wp2 full permissions: chmod 777 wp2.
This is what you should fill in for the configuration:
If nothing else works, just stop the installation process. Things might still work (since it might have succesfully extracted the files and inserted the data into the database). Just delete all the duplicator files from the WordPress root folder. If you get a message saying “Briefly unavailable for scheduled maintenance. Check back in a minute.” you need to also delete the .maintenance file.
If you are using the amazing free InstantWP WordPress development package often, then you might start wondering how to properly use it with Git version control. The difficulty is that trying to add the entire Linux Alpine virtual operating system to Git is too heavy, but adding only the contents of the Theme folder will not keep track of your posts and other database related content. I will outline the steps I used to get Git working with IWP below:

Here is a really quick way to run such a website in a server environment using Python 3 (which you probably have already installed on your machine anyways).
python -m http.server 8000
This is a quick example of how you can tint an svg image even if it’s added to the page externally (it’s not an inline svg):
