On top of that, I’ll show you how to build an Alexa skill to deploy your station in the cloud, so anyone with Alexa can say: “Alexa, play <whatever_station>” and hear your Internet radio station. There are many tutorials that describe this, but most of them require that you pay for some radio station hosting. If that’s easier for you, then you can skip this tutorial.

Removing Duplicate E-mail Messages From A Mailbox

Linux, SysAdmin, Technical
Occasionally your mail delivery scheme might hiccup, leaving you with duplicate copies of email messages sitting in your mailboxes. I find this happens occasionally if something goes wrong with fetchmail - you kill the fetchmail process before it has expunged the deleted email from the remote POP3 server, so the next time you run fetchmail it downloads a second copy of each email. This is a simple process that I came up with to remove duplicate email messages from a maildir format mailbox. As a bit of background, a maildir mailbox is a small directory tree: $ du .boxes.xml-dev 4 .boxes.xml-dev/tmp 124 .boxes.xml-dev/new 52340 .boxes.xml-dev/cur 52920 .boxes.xml-dev $ Hierarchy is represented by components of the mailbox name separated by dots, so the mailbox above is called xml-dev and it is in the boxes mailbox. Messages are files in…

How to use a YubiKey for Two-Factor Secure Shell Authentication

Linux, SysAdmin, Technical
What is Yubikey? YubiKeys are small USB dongles that you can plug into your computer. They can simulate keyboard input, allowing you to enter One Time Passwords (OTPs) with the press of a button to authenticate with services like Google, Dropbox and GitHub. YubiKeys can also be used when logging into a remote server. This guide will show you how to configure your server so that a YubiKey must be plugged in and tapped in order to log in to your server using ssh. Depending on your needs, you can also configure a password in addition to the YubiKey for an extra level of security. If you want to work through this guide but don’t have a YubiKey, you can find one at this link. As of this writing, any key that supports…

Document Moved Error after Upgrade to OpenCart 3.x.x.x

Linux, SysAdmin, Technical
If you have upgraded to OpenCart 3.x.x.x recently and are noticing a "Document Moved" Error when accessing extensions in your OpenCart Admin Panel It is due to a misconfigured line in your config.php file that resides inside your admin folder. (public_html/admin/config.php). You will find a line that says: define('OPENCART_SERVER', 'http://www.opencart.com/'); The line actually needs to read like this: define('OPENCART_SERVER', 'https://www.opencart.com/'); The problem is if you're running your OpenCart with HTTPS...Which you SHOULD be the non-https URL won't load from within the admin panel. The purpose of that URL is to grab the extension lists and extension advertisements and show them on the extensions page. Replace that one line and the issue will be resolved! I have referenced this error here, on the official OpenCart Github: https://github.com/opencart/opencart/issues/7269 And also made the…

Emails not sending after upgrade to OpenCart 3.x.x.x

Linux, SysAdmin, Technical
The issue is - OpenCart does not send emails after order checkout or account registration. I don't mean that the server is failing to send the mail (I'm running my own email server and there is no trace of any email being sent in the logs), but that the OpenCart installation doesn't even get to the code where mail is supposed to be sent. If I use the newsletter form in administration, all the emails are sent and delivered fine without any issues. All other applications on the same server using the same PHP and Sendmail are working without problems, as was the 2.3 OC installation with exactly the same settings. First thing to check: - Ensure your admin - > extensions - > events page has more than 30…
