Wordpress migration to a new host and a new domain is tricky!

To move a problematic site I used Duplicator a plugin that did all the heavy lifting of changing the configuration settings, fix the db serialized strings, apply some legacy conversion to the queries and other stuff.

Without the plugin a manual migration was almost impossible.

Kudos to the authors.

Web Essentials for Visual Studio is fantastic collection of plugins for visual studio. The name is right: it is essential to have.

Snapcraft is a tool to install containerized software packages.

Now Firefox is available!

ncdu

Ncdu is a disk usage analyzer with an ncurses interface. It is designed to find space hogs on a remote server where you don’t have an entire graphical setup available, but it is a useful tool even on regular desktop systems. Ncdu aims to be fast, simple and easy to use, and should be able to run in any minimal POSIX-like environment with ncurses installed.

Less MSIérables

From their site

A tool to view and extract the contents of an Windows Installer (.msi) file.

It just works. No installation required.

Browse all the contents of the msi file, extract single files, view tables. Usable from a nice simple GUI or from the command line.

To free up some space I removed LibreOffice and obtained about 720M of space.

sudo apt-get remove --purge libreoffice*
sudo apt-get clean
sudo apt-get autoremove

Some useful commands for Hugo.
