This is a quick guide for enabling HTTP2 on Ubuntu 16.04. I use digital ocean and there I have a few instances that (at the time of writing this) run on Ubuntu 16.04 and have apache 2.4.18 installed. First you need to add this PPA repository and installing (upgrading) apache2: […]
If you like Spring-Actuator and want to use it in a traditional spring app i.e. without using spring boot, it is surely possible. I was looking around for a solution and nothing really worked out of the box. I’m guessing because people don’t post the whole solution and/or don’t point […]
I needed a simple random sentence generator (for english words/sentences, and in java) and I couldn’t find anything simple and with a small footprint. So I wrote it my self. The need for this arose from me being tired of seeing same ‘this is a title’, ‘some description’ and so […]
This has been the major pain in my bum in Windows Explorer for the longest time now. When I open Windows Explorer (having expand folders option on e.g. expand folders in navigation pane) it expands by default few folders such as ‘This PC’, ‘Network’, and my home folder. What I […]
By default this keyboard (and as of my understanding similar keyboards from logitech) have ‘media buttons’ enabled by default i.e. f1-f12 will act as media buttons and function buttons are accessed by pressing fn buttons + f1-f12. For work this is really not acceptable. I made this fix for Logitech […]
This is maybe not so usual situation but nevertheless one that I had to deal with, so here goes. Possibly mostly as a reminder of the steps (as I tend not to remember these , abit boring tasks). I had my previous WP instance hosted at common web hotel with […]
My old host provider refused to allow me to add ssl certificate for this site (which they thought belongs only to ‘company accounts’ ?! – weird). Nevertheless it’s (still) a free world, so I simply moved it to another place with full control over the server. Hence the sweet green […]
This is an update on previous post on SDM. Build-in Jetty server in eclipse (coming bundled with the Google-plugin) has never really been a reliable partner for developing as it often differs from the real production environment. SuperDevMode enables debugging in the browser (no network trip and Java emulation) which […]
GWT had for some time now an alternative to ‘classic’ dev-mode which is called a super-dev-mode. It differs significantly to the classic one in the sense that is much closer to the ‘real’ java script debugging in the browser without native hooks to the IDE like classic dev-mode does. This […]
Transient dependencies can be a bit pain when they start creeping around. Sometimes it’s hard to debug these things even though we have some nice tools at hand like dependency:tree and even eclipse has nice tree traversing tools. But, sometimes we need bigger guns. This nice plugin for maven will […]
