Comment on Host your own p2p network with YnHub by Rarst

@blha303 Thanks for bringing this up, although I am strongly recommending that any software should only be downloaded from official site/mirrors. If those are gone - it's probably time to let go of it. :)

Comment on MyEventViewer – alternative utility for Windows logs by Rarst

@sohail I think that is impossible by design. Log that might be manipulated is less reliable.

The official site for YnHub is down. I mirrored the latest binaries on Github. github.com/blha303/YnHub

Comment on Twitter followers count (and much more) in WordPress by Rarst

@Tilo

Yep, Twitter has pretty strict restrictions on API usage, see https://dev.twitter.com/docs/rate-limiting

That’s why it’s important to properly cache results and fetch them at appropriate intervals only.

Thanks for the script. I have a question about it though. A couple of months ago i made my own little script to get my twitter followers. it worked on localhost but testing it on my server it didn’t work anymore. my first guess was twitter not allowing a lot of requests from the same server as my website is hosted on a shared server. i never went back to find out why it really didn’t work. now i’m thinking about trying to get your script to work. do you know anything about any restrictions by twitter?

Comment on Edit files on FTP with Notepad++ plugin by Paul

@Rarst
Kindly please remove my above comment as it was written when I was angry at it.

It is a very good plugin. The best out there but I encountered some minor problems when we edit the same files with three people. I sometimes re-download file (like style.css) from server and make changes. Soon after that (like 10 minutes after) it tells me that it was modified by another program (even if nobody else is modifying it at that moment). I have to click “don’t update” and upload it again to work. It’s a bit odd. You may want to check that.

@Michael Which is why there is update in bold, recommending to use WinSCP instead. :)

Seems this addon can’t handle SFTP (SSH) secure connections :(
