WordPress requires an SQL like database. On RPI there is no MySQL database, but there is an equivalent fully compatible DB called MariaDB. After a fresh install there’s no password set up initially for the user root, so is very important to fix that. You should use the secure installation script that come along.

Microsoft has done two things which are really good and neither of those is Windows or Office. The first one is a software called “Paint” that everyone is familiar with (Not the shitty 3D version).

If you are a programmer and if your team consist of more than 1 person, then you are probably using GIT. There are two ways to use git: the wrong way and the right way.

Throwing water to the Sun
This summer has been quite hot…So hot that I started to think how to turn off the sun for a while.. First thought would be to throw some water to the sun to cool it down. Will it work? After all, when you have a fire and you throw some water to it, it will cool down and eventually die off.. Can we do something similar with the Sun? Maybe throw a lot of water, like 10 time its mass to it? Continue reading “Throwing water to the Sun”
