If you're running #WordPress on OLS, turning on the Gravatar Cache will lead to a huge cache directory of jpg files (over a GB worth)! Disable this at #Litespeed Cache -> Page Optimization -> Localization -> Gravatar Cache

Cost of Uber from LAX to Santa Monica at 11PM when we returned from our trip: $58. Cost of taxi: $42. Both before tip.

Maybe "bug" is too strong a word. It's an "interaction" between plugins with negative consequences that has a workaround.

I found a bug where the #divi5 Theme Builder won't load when the #Termageddon plugin is active. The workaround is to go into the Termageddon Settings and enable "Hide widget for administrators"

For those who use the Harvest App for time tracking and invoicing, I started this subReddit: https://t.co/VhAiewLcx1 #harvestapp

@dckurek @Microsoft @Office365 Yeah, it's totally crazy

I had high hopes, but the new #MicrosoftOutlook is still unusable for me; the unified inbox disappeared when I added multiple accounts.

[Brian Shim @BrianRShim]

Ironically, #MicrosoftOutlook for Mac is way better than the new Microsoft Outlook for Windows (more adjustability, looks cleaner, etc.)

#chatgpt needs date and time stamps, at least at each query!

The one that worked in my case was the UI cPanel. Ridiculous!

[Brian Shim @BrianRShim]

In case you're on #hostgator and wondering why your DNS record changes are not propagating, the Hostgator UI has two places where you can set DNS records: Domains -> Settings and cPanel -> Zone Editor. I set the first one and waited two days with no propagation...

I've officially enrolled in Extended Windows Updates. My #Windows10 computer is set for updates until October 2026. Happy I didn't have to trash my computer this year.

The WP #LightSpeed Cache plugin almost completely eliminated CLS on this Divi site: https://t.co/ORcOEgSzC4 https://t.co/KoivWRrpd0

After years of suffering.... SHIFT-CTRL-V (paste without formatting) finally works in #onenote!!!!

@SiteGround Many thanks!

@BrianRShim We're happy to tell you that we've released a patch that allows access from popular AI bots on all our servers. We completely understand how important it is to be able to use AI in your online projects, and we will work on better protection mechanisms in the future.

This is a nice real-time stock market widget that you can embed on your site! https://t.co/CiOpIEHgbZ

@SiteGround Thanks for the fast reply. To be more specific, I want the site to automatically be able to convert heic images to jpg upon upload (it is a WordPress site). I enabled Imagick in Siteground but heic conversion is still not supported. Is there a solution?
