As an addition to my previous NGINX articles, today we'll discuss how to adjust the number of child processes for PHP-FPM to fix the common error of "server reached pm.max_children" in the logs. This is a follow-up to the LEMP Install NGINX PHP7 MySQL on Ubuntu 16.04 Server or LEMP Install NGINX PHP7 MySQL on [...]
I've had the opportunity to review the Dodocool N300 WiFi Extender over the past week. The testing environment I had was a house with three floors and a wireless router on the 3rd floor using both 802.11g and 802.11n protocols. While using the cable company provided router, there were corners on the basement level where [...]
Over the past week I've had the opportunity to review the MPow Bluetooth Headset MPBH059AB, and it did not disappoint! I typically use earbud style headsets, but this over-the-ear bluetooth headset intrigued me. The headset offers both wireless and wired connectivity along with amazing 13 hour battery life. If you're a talker, you can get [...]

If you’re recently upgraded to Windows 10 Creators Update and you’ve used the Command Prompt shortcuts when you right-click on the Start Menu, you might be surprised to see that Command Prompt has been replaced by Windows PowerShell (resembling the left screenshot above). While Powershell has its place, I tend to use Command Prompt more [...]
Over the past couple of weeks I've had the opportunity to review the Glory P2 Plus 15000 mAh Power Bank by Lumsing. I've been very pleased with the device and how well it can charge multiple devices, multiple times before needing to be recharged itself. If you're a commuter or traveler that uses multiple devices [...]
You manage a Cisco ASA Firewall or any other Cisco appliance that is managed using the Cisco ASDM launcher, you might run into an issue were your font sizes are too small or the fonts overlap making it difficult to read and navigate.
