I’ve noticed over the past few months my usage of the Laravel validation engine has increased a lot. I’ve even used it in some non-Laravel applications just because I’m a fan of the interface. I had the idea of sharing some of the validation rules with the community but there wasn’t too many people doing the same. I created a…

I needed a small tool recently to set Telegram webhooks quickly over a few projects. You usually just run a curl command to do this but the format is something you have to remember – this is a lot simpler now. Just head over to https://telegram-set-webhook.ssx.tools to use it.
Easy way to run rtorrent in Docker is using Docktorrent like this:

docker run -it \ -p 81:80 -p 45566:45566 -p 9527:9527/udp \ --dns 8.8.8.8 \ -v /rtorrent:/rtorrent \ -e UPLOAD_RATE=1024 \ kfei/docktorrent |
A while ago I remember seeing a tweet from Ryan Florence about docuemntation: I think the biggest mistake we all make in docs and tutorials: Not explaining *first* what the goal, or use-case, or desired result is. — Ryan Florence @ 🐙🤖 (@ryanflorence) June 19, 2017 Last week I’d seen that Kent C Dodds had a further point on it,…
I recently ran into an issue where a Magento site that had been duplicated for development kept redirecting to the original site URL. Turned out that the culprit was a setting called SSL_OFFLOADED which needed to be turned off.

You can find full instructions over on the TPS website.

This is a really good idea about adding a message to your lock screen on MacOS with a note on how to contact you in the event your Mac is lost.
I recently started a new project and wanted to give Laravel’s new test framework Dusk a try. Locally, this was quick to do and it worked first time – however when I then connected up CircleCI I needed to do a little extra work to get up and running. In short, the version of Google Chrome needs updating to a…
Something I picked up on a few days ago was using Docker’s –net-alias command (or docker-compose equivalent) for cheap and easy round robin load balancing. For example, start two elasticsearch containers with –net-alias search and from within the network, using the ‘search’ as the DNS name for connecting, you’d get 1 of the 2 servers at random.
