Also, figuring out stuff lends itself to new blog content. And here we are. Edit your page If […] The post Adding a custom script to an Unbounce landing page appeared first on Josh Sherman ..read more

All right y’all, the second quarter of 2024 is upon us. Been a bit all over the place on my end, doubly so with it being the high holiday known as WrestleMania Weekend. #CodyCryBabies I mentioned last month that I’d be trying to include MongoDB benchmarks. I did a bit of research and came to […] The post VPS Showdown – April 2024 – DigitalOcean vs. Linode vs. Vultr appeared first on Josh Sherman ..read more

In light of the recent discovery of a backdoor in the XZ Utils package (CVE-2024-3094), knowing how to check package versions on Linux has come to front of mind. I try to be security cautious. Typically I reach for boring ol’ Debian stable for my servers. I do my best to keep them reasonably up […] The post How to check package version on Linux appeared first on Josh Sherman ..read more

For most projects, I use a monorepo, and nest my scripts in a directory. I’ll npm init each script, and maintain an isolated set of dependencies outside of the main dependency tree. This includes maintaining a separate .eslintrc file as well. Typically, this isn’t a problem, but recently with a new project that was created […] The post Stop ESLint from searching up the directory tree appeared first on Josh Sherman ..read more

Starting a fresh Next.js project the other day, I was happy to see that configuring eslint was part of the bootstrapping process. Where things fell short for me, was the lack of a prompt asking me which style guide I’d like to use. I’m sure the out of the box option is sufficient enough, and […] The post Airbnb style guide with Next.js appeared first on Josh Sherman ..read more

A breaking change landed on my Arch Linux system the other day, revealing itself when trying to use git. Usually something like this would wind up in the Arch Linux home page. Not this time. Booting up on a Monday after my end of the week update, I was trying to push some code and […] The post Fix for gnome-keyring 46.0+ disabling ssh-agent appeared first on Josh Sherman ..read more

While spring isn’t officially here yet, it’s definitely starting to feel like winter is over. More of the same this month, as we finish off the first quarter of 2024. Next month, I’m hoping to finally get some MongoDB benchmarks into the mix.

Recently, my media center (an Intel NUC) started to bark about being out of disk space on my root partition. Instead of just biting the bullet and redoing the partitions, I decided to purchase a larger SSD, which led to its own problems. With those problems sorted, I opted to do a fresh installation of […] The post Cannot load certificate “/etc/ssl/certs/ssl-cert-snakeoil.pem” on Debian appeared first on Josh Sherman ..read more

After upgrading the SSD on my Intel NUC to a larger size, I was greeted with an error message that took me way too long to find a solution to: This problem was compounded by the fact that my wired keyword refused to work when this error was encountered. Sadly, I vaguely remember running into […] The post BIOS has detected unsuccessful POST attempt(s) on Intel NUC appeared first on Josh Sherman ..read more
