A joke I found online about the KGB

 A man arrives at a hotel after a long train journey, exhausted. He comes into a communal room and sees three other guys who are drunk and talking loudly. They are cracking anti-government jokes and laughing at Khrushchev. The man is annoyed that he can’t sleep so he hatches a plan. He walks out into a corridor and asks a staff member to bring him a cup of tea.

Who would listen to us?”  “Well, let me show you”  The man walks up to a socket and says into it:  “Comrade major, can I have a cup of tea please?”  Sure enough, the staff member soon enters with a cup of tea.  “See, told you.”  The three men are pale and quiet for the entire night, so the tired man finally gets some good sleep.  He wakes up the next morning alone. He walks downstairs and asks the receptionist about...

Benchmarking my new HP Pavilion Gaming 15-EC1011NK laptop with UserBenchmark

It's the best way to test your  new machine. The tool doesn't require any installation, and the result is clear and simple. PS: I installed an external monitor to force the benchmark tool to test my Nvidia GeForce GTX 1660TI since it can't test it in normal mode. Results: UserBenchmarks: Game 62%, Desk 94%, Work 65% CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 4800H - 90.3% GPU: AMD RX Vega 8 4000 (iGPU) - 15.2% GPU: Nvidia GTX 1660-Ti (Mobile Max-Q) - 60.9% SSD: WDC PC SN530 SDBPNPZ-512G-1006 512GB - 223.8% RAM: Micron 8ATF2G64HZ-3G2E1 CT16G4SFRA32A.C8FE 32GB - 104.3% MBD: HP Pavilion Gaming Laptop 15-ec1xxx Comment: Very good CPU, decent GPU even for gaming, and a very fast NVMe drive. I'm quite satisfied with it.  AMD Ryzen is really performant and is considered the best CPU to go with nowadays for PCs and Workstations.  The Western Digital NVMe Drive is also amazing. Its read/write speed is impressive. Despite the weird look, this laptop is very good from a performance point of view. Full Benc...

Seafile on CentOS : everything is okay, but the web interface is not working!

If you like Seafile, you can deploy it in your organization easily. I did that a couple of years ago and it is always working fine under Debian (my favourite distro). However, today I thought of deploying a second server, which will be more important. Following the setup procedure under CentOS, everything was fine (I used this link :  https://manual.seafile.com/deploy/using_mysql.html ) but the web interfacewasn't working! I checked Firewalld, SELinux, MariaDB, Logs everywhere... Nothing was really weird, except a new file that I wasn't used to it : gunicorn.conf! Well, that file was a new addition to Seafile starting from 6.3! and it seems that in my configuration, the server was bound to... 127.0.0.1:8000! I just changed that, restarted Seafile and Seahub, and it worked! Hoping that would help someone, someday :)
