Solution for cPanel and WHM being stuck on updates
It happens, although pretty rarely, for updates of WHM and cPanel to fail. Then you can access any of their pages and you are prompted to reload the page as if this would fix it. Solution for me was just to run the following command as root in a SSH session on the server:

Gifcast – easy GIF screencasting for Linux
I recently needed to record my screen and output it to a .gif file. I know it’s a weird thing to do – compared to webm video for example, gifs are way bigger in size, way lower quality and don’t have sound. So.. why? Well, mostly because in most cases GIFs are treated as images(because […]

Post don’t get sticky
I had this case that posts couldn’t get sticky after I check them to be sticky. Saving the changes says they are sticky, but when reloading the page, this turns out to be a big fat lie. Trying to remove “stickiness” from other posts wasn’t working either. Probably I must mention that this is a […]
