PorkBun automatically deletes some Wordpress plugins

 If you wonder why some of your plugins disappear from your PorkBun hosted account, they could be deleted by PorkBun.

There is a set of plugins that PorkBun doesn't like. Actual list with them is written here.

One of reasons PorkBun does remove plugins is that (according PorkBun) they are slow. They have different concerns for others. Soo, you need to go for alternatives.

We provide a cached version of the list with their blocked plugins:

Interview questions for Java developers

Tips for preparing for a Java developer interview:

  1. Review Java fundamentals: It is important to have a good understanding of the core concepts of Java such as Object-Oriented Programming, Data Structures, Algorithms, Exception Handling, and Multithreading.

  2. Know the basics of frameworks and libraries: Familiarize yourself with popular Java frameworks and libraries like Spring, Hibernate, Maven, and JUnit.

  3. Understand the interview format: Find out what type of interview you will be having. Will it be a technical interview or a behavioral interview? Knowing the interview format in advance can help you prepare better.

  4. Research the company: Get to know the company you are interviewing with. Look at their website, read up on their products, and try to get a sense of their company culture.

  5. Prepare questions to ask: Have some questions prepared to ask your interviewer about the company, the role, and the team you would be working with.

  6. Be confident: Remember to be confident in your abilities and focus on showcasing your strengths during the interview.

  7. Practice coding: Brush up on your coding skills by practicing coding problems on platforms like LeetCode or HackerRank. This will help you develop your problem-solving skills and also give you an opportunity to practice coding under pressure.

Gmail uploads files in Drive even small files are attached - "Your files are larger than 25 MB. They will be sent as Google Drive links."

It happens with me when attaching images. Their total size is much less than 25MB. Today it happens with images with total size of 7MB.

There is a bug report in google support center from 2020. The bug is still not fixed.

It seems as a workaround to "drag and drop" files into the area of your email. This would include the files inline.

Not the real solution but it works. Maybe we will need to wait few more years Google to fix this in GMail.

Acronis backup software does not support exFAT - Acronis Cyber Protect, Acronis True Image, etc

Acronis backup software cannot read files inside exFAT. It includes Acronis Cyber Protect, Acronis True Image.

Acronis software seems full of limitations and exFAT confirms it one more time.


exFAT 

exFAT is introduced in 2006. Even Windows XP has support for it.

After August 2019, Microsoft published its specification.

It is even more interesting what Acronis support says about it:

"The issue here is that exFAT requires extra software to work in a Linux environment (Fuse) which is not included in the standard Acronis linux based rescue media."


FUSE

In fact FUSE is open software. What FUSE wiki page says is that 

"FUSE was merged into the mainstream Linux kernel tree in kernel version 2.6.14.".

That kernel was released in October 2005.


Delay of 18 years

So Acronis is out-of-date with about 18 years.

People want to know is Acronis ATI, Acronis ACP just a software produced buy a school boy or something designed to be used in companies and in corporation?


Affected software

Acronis Cyber Protect, Acronis True Image and many other :)


Our recommendation

Do not use Acronis in any case. Never ever. For anything.

Exception from HRESULT: 0x80040255 - Error from CDBurnXP solved

CDBurnXP shows this message when disk is low quality.

Error text:

Exception from HRESULT: 0x80040255

Disk is not dead!

In my case Disk is not dead! 

Sometimes disk could be burned with CDBurnXP. Try few times. 

If it didn't help, try different speed - in my case higher speeds had higher probability rates.

If it didn't help, try to finalize disk.

 I hope its a solution for you too.

Avira non-antivirus applications

  • Avira Game Booster, 
  • Avira System Speedup,

  • etc

Avira knows users want to remove them, to stop them, to disable them. But Avira tries its best to keep them there in many ways:
