You probably have noticed a lack of new articles this week. And there is a ‘good’ reason for that. I have been busy with the arrival of my second child š¼
That is also the reason why there was a slight delay in lifetime membership activation. But it’s done for all the 43 new members so far (of the set goal of 75 new lifetime members).
Things are getting back on the track as the mother and baby duo have been discharged from the hospital. You should start seeing more tutorials, I promise šø
The 13th anniversary offer is still going on. You get the lifetime membership option with reduced pricing of $76 instead of the usual $99 along with a Linux command line eBook. If you ever wanted to support us with Plus membership but didn’t like the recurring subscription, this is the best time for that š

š” Quick Handy Tip
If you are using Vivaldi, you can rename tabs by simply double-clicking on the tab title and entering a name. Before doing that, ensure that double-click tab rename is enabled in the settings.
Open Settings and go to the Tabs section. Here, check whether the double-click action is set to “Rename tab“.
This is useful when the tab names are taking up too much space, this way, you can give a nickname to easily identify the tab.
