Pinned: What is this place?

I used to have a domain called “hacktheplanet.eu” where I collected useful tips and tricks for my every day needs, I kind of miss that place so here we go again, it’s time for a new page with my every day useful tips to make my own life easier!

Mac Calendar is … almost great!

I’ve been using the Mac Calendar app for so many years, it’s one of my favorite applications on Mac that helps me manage multiple calendars, work, private, shared, all in one place! But.. and that is a big BUT, the Exchange Sync in the Mac Calendar App has for many years been quite unreliable, it works and then it just...

This old thing? It’s just Awesome!

After my friend (@pjocke) had some issues with his heating and started monitoring the incoming hot water from the tenants association, I thought it would be nice to monitor the temperature in _all_ the rooms of my house… I use Homey for my home automation, and was looking for something that would plug in to that. So after some researching...

Sendgrid

Sendgrid is the cause of nightmares, it’s not uncommon that customers use Sendgrid, and it’s quite understandable with a “free tier” that allows you to send e-mails from your application for free. But what Sendgrid lacks is proper Spam-mitigation, since Sendgrids entry level “free tier” and their first level of payed service uses a shared service platform, this means that...

Is Microsoft running out of capacity?

When we talk about Cloud and Cloud Services, most people imagine “unlimited resources at your disposal”, and sure in most situations the capacity of the cloud providers are sufficient to make you feel like you have unlimited resources (if you ignore things that is already in place to stop you from consuming all the resources, like account limitations…) but that...

But how to migrate without having to re-setup 2FA on every site? After trying out some javascript-browser-hacks without much luck, I...

Recursive unrar into each folder…

I’m not sure why this was so hard to find, but now it’s working… I was initially working on having “find” -exec UnRAR but it didn’t seem to work too well (I couldn’t find a good one-liner to separate file directory and full-filename to put into the find -exec command, if you have one, let me know). (some parts of...

That oneliner…

Once again, this is just so that I don’t forget 🙂 Because you just want keep your system updated … I’m sure some of the commands are redundant, but hey.. It works!

Manipulating “date added” in the Plex Media Server Database

So I noticed a quite annoying thing in my Plex Server, some items were always marked as “recently added”. As usual, I went online and searched for a solution. Some posts suggested to wipe the library and start over, while some posts suggested that doing that doesn’t fix the problem as the “bug” seems to be that when an initial...
