Early recently I had my internal memory of my mac stocked up and I had to rely on storing my excess data onto my external hard disk which most have to do as we do not have an option otherwise to increase the internal storage of the machine itself. I pulled up my external hard disk and boom to my wonder it doesn't have the write permissions as it's of `NTFS` format. So after a quick search, it was evident that there are a lot of software that can mount my NTFS drive namely Microsoft NTFS for Mac by Paragon Software Microsoft NTFS for Mac by Tuxera But there all are restricted and you can use it for a limited period of time and they had hefty prices to pay for, So instead after a long search and trying out various tools here are my list of best picks for the free software available that will definitely help you out. easyuefi ~ ntfs-for-mac  ~ I myself been using it for a while now. mounty I will be updating the list every time when I find new software availabl...

Want to get a custom domain name, MongoDB tools, canva.com, unity, and many more for free. When I was just learning web development earlier when I was in college I always wanted to host it somewhere and get a domain name but I was not ready to pay for that as I just wanted to see my static webpages on the web was my only intention, back then I used 000webhosting to host my projects but they had weird and lengthy domain names which became hard for me to share it with my faculty or colleges. So then my quest began to look for free offerings on the internet. To my luck I found GitHub providing several free tools for students which are extremely useful, So I would like to share how anyone can get this benefit from GitHub and use those powerful and useful tools.

We have all been using passwords to access out personal accounts for various websites, but it's common that most of the people use the same password for every online account as it seems hard for people to remember 10-15 passwords for various different websites which they use every single day. So here comes the other login methods such as Fingerprint, IRIS scanner and RF cards to validate your accounts and many companies these days are even having 2-factor authentications such as sending messages to phones to authenticate which again is not a very secure practice as many spoofing techniques can be implemented to by get access to the messages and google recently released 2-factor authentication that sends a notification as well as a unique number to select for authentication which could be a much better alternative when majority of the people are using android phones, but out of all these fingerprints, IRIS, and RF cards(MFA) are the most secure ways to protect any security a...

Until recently I did not know that I could install packages with apt-get on gitpod as it always wanted me to have root permissions, here is how it should be done. If you are using a public git repository make sure you have push permissions to the repository or fork the repository unless you are the real owner of the repository. Now you probably should be already aware that there is an actual ` Browser Extension ` for  chrome  and  Mozilla , if not you should install that to make things easy instead of editing the URL( appending  gitpod.io/# ) all the time to open the repository in gitpod. After you open the repository in gitpod run the below command >> gp init This will generate  .gitpod.yml  and  .gitpod.Dockerfile  files. Now modify the docker file something like below( for install  redis-server  in my case) FROM gitpod/workspace-full USER gitpod RUN sudo apt-get update -q && \ sudo apt-get install -yq ...
