Techtimejourney going through Javascript & Jquery transition

It is time to upgrade again. Techtimejourney websites will go dynamic with Javascript and Jquery. The transition will take about 2 to 3 weeks – since alongside the transition there are plenty of new things that are comming soon (like PostX Gnu/Linux 0.4.2). As I upgrade, I will make sure that there will be non-Javascript versions of the websites available as well.  The upgrade strategy is to code the new pages mainly with HTML5, CSS, Javascript and Jquery. The previous is done because it makes optimization a bit more faster and easier than doing things directly within the WordPress backend.

However, WordPress backend will be upgraded to become dynamic – provided that a decent Javascript and non-Javascrpt balance is found.

And finally, here is some data and upgrade plans about the ” soon to be upgraded pages”

PostX Gnu/Linux startpage: upgrade completed: 20th of March. Gtmetrix results.

PostX Gnu/Linux status update and PostX Gnu/Linux 0.4.2 release date

In the upcoming week I will make some updates to PostX Gnu/Linux repositories. Power-Manager will upgrade to QT5 and it will contain some Openbox integration in it. Likewise, PostX-Calendar will upgrade to QT5. I will also build new Linux kernels, headers and source packages for both i386 and amd64. All this should be done  before the late Friday. The actual upgrade schedule might be a lot faster but Friday is the deadline. Continue reading →

Dual booting Linux and Windows and a static dhcp lease on a hardware firewall

Let’s say that you are using a hardware firewall. It may be Ipfire or Pfsense box or something else. You have a setup, which focuses on security and hence you have given each and every machine a static lease from the firewall’s dhcp server. The previous means that you might have a setup where dhcp range is small and occupied by your machines. Also, since you have given each machine a static lease you also know their local ip addresses and you are also able to tell all the mac addresses of the devices in your network. Continue reading →
