Scale the interface on Viber on Windows

So this is not something I came up with, just an endorsement of Spiros's work.

Basically I was looking for a way to make Viber's fonts bigger on my new Windows laptop. There are no settings whatsoever in the app itself.
I googled a bit and found this git repo with a batch file.
When you start Viber with the file, it scales it an arbitrary amount - set in the file.

And here is the repo itself > scale-viber <

Accessing the EdgeRouter WEB UI through SSH

This is a simple and easy hack, but one I couldn't find when I searched for it.
So you want to access the WEB UI and you are not in your home network. But you have enabled the SSH access from the internet.

I assume the following:
  • You have an EdgeRouter
  • You have SSH access from the Internet to the router (Check this if you don't know how)
  • The WEB UI is currently only accessible from the behind NAT on https:192.168.1.1
With a command line ssh client you can run:
 ssh -L 9000:192.168.1.1:443 user@example.com

 The equivalent in PuTTY is in Connection -> SSH -> Tunnels page.
  • Source port - 9000
  • Destination - 192.168.1.1:443
  • Don't change anything else, radio buttons should be on Local and Auto.
  • Click the Add button
  • Open the connection
After the connection is opened successfully, open https://localhost:9000 in your browser and accept the security warning.

That's it.

MoveTab first birthday

Hooray, my tiny Firefox add-on recently turned 1 year old. Statistics show that it has about 20 daily users. Not bad for something that I have never promoted.






What does it do?
Well if you are a Firefox user using more than one window at a time, it helps you transfer a tab quickly from one window to another. For example you use one window for the current project you are working on, another window for personal stuff. But sometimes you open a new tab in the wrong window. And dragging the tab by hand is a painful procedure. So you just click the button.

Here is a link:
