Some time ago I bought extremely quiet Shuttle XS35 V2  device to have something “seperate” for my web development work. Right now this awesome fan less device has many purposes. Works as full web dev stack, with Apache, PHP, MySQL, mongoDB, and even Jenkins machine.

Recently I realised that this small ugly device got also WiFi cart into it. Because I’m running out of cables and space in my apartment i figure out, that I could move it easily without plugging into it more cables.

There is a plenty of tutorials how to install PEAR and  PHP, but there is always something “missing” in this configuration. So this time, i’m going to “sing the same song again”.

We have couple options: pigz  and pbzip2 .

tar -c --use-compress-program=pigz -f my_archive.tar.gz /home/archive 

The other trick useful trick is that you can exclude some directories or files

tar -zcvf my_archive.tar.gz --exclude='cache' --exclude='.git' /home/archive

Quite often we are asking this simple question. Where we can answer for that ? On this website:  gs.statcounter.com

BrowserStack is well known service which provides awesome tools to test your website against different browsers and operating systems. It’s very handy when it comes to professional QA testing.

Not everyone knows, that from that place  you can also download virtual machines for free. On this page Virtual Machine  you can pull multiple VM images with IE8 / IE 9 and different versions of windows.
