I am using laptop (with no special graphics card, but only inbuilt) and extending it to external monitor. The external monitor is high contrast and supports upto 1920 x 1080 (full HD) resolution. When Mozilla Firefox is opened in this high definition Monitor, it becomes very slow and wavy.  The dragging effect is too much and discourages from using Firefox !! A solution to this is to "Disable Hardware Acceleration" within Firefox settings. To do this Firefox -> Tools -> Options -> Advanced -> General Remove the "tick"  from (Uncheck) "Use Hardware Acceleration when available" Firefox fix has been tested on Samsung SyncMaster BX2240,  Syncmaster 2443 monitors  Advanced Users about:config   -> layers.acceleration.disabled  -> change value to " true "

Hope you all have "Putty" as your favourite ssh client? For me too..   But sometimes, I felt there are some issues when you are working with 100's of servers and multiple locations.  This article will guide you to achieve Putty portability: by storing sessions in files rather than in windows Registry Automate creation of Putty sessions:  No more manual entries one by one Consistent coloring of Putty sessions for team Consistent naming conventions for Putty sessions "Keepass" to putty integration: Password management and automated login Use "SuperPutty" to allow multiple putty sessions in a single Tab Pre-requisite   Full package available to download at end of this document Basic knowledge of coding. Overall understanding of tools Portable Putty: Ability to store sessions to file ( http://jakub.kotrla.net/putty/ ) Optional: AutoIT ( http://www.autoitscript.com/site/autoit/ ) : For automation purpose in Windows PC's.

Keepass password vault and the simplicity of the tool are essential if your day to day work. But I always encountered problem when it came to bulk actions; especially when passwords were the same for a set of servers (group) Bulk Actions on Keepass To do bulk actions (mass batch changes) , it is always advisable to have your list organized into groups. So that in future you can make it more granular. Below is a sample to reference a single master password for a group of NON-PROD Unix Servers Create a MASTER entry into the group.  (eg  MASTER_NON_PROD_UNIX) Put your group password into this entry Edit the individual entries which you want to reference this MASTER entry Within the Edit Window -> Remove any entries from "Password" and "Repeat" fields Within the Edit Window -> Tools -> Insert Field Reference -> "In password Field"  Select the MASTER entry from the list. Identify source entry by "UUID"   , Source field to refe

If you are using Windows 8, you have got Windows Defender for free. This is one of the best protection programs available for home and personal use and replaces Windows Security Essentials from Windows 7 and previous versions.  (Please see  http://www.techsupportalert.com/best-free-anti-virus-software.htm  ) Recently I've faced issues with Windows 8 - Windows Defender automatically not downloading the update files. I thought it was related to updates not working.  The fix mentioned in Microsoft Website   is not suitable for Windows 8. The easy way to fix is Go to Control Panel  (Windows Key + R -> control ) In System & Security -> Find and Fix Problems Fix Problems with Windows Update Run and it should fix automatically Try Windows Defender update once again

Hope many guys had issues with windows remote desktop and ability to copy-paste items from your local machine to remote desktop?

We will look into a method to do ssh equivalent for telnet You guys must be familiar with running SSH. Using Standardport it would be ssh <serverIP> If you want to run ssh on a non-standard port it is ssh -p <portNumber> <serverIp>     #eg    ssh -p 5443   10.112.12.13 But recently many Admins started removing "telnet" from *NIX machines. Previously Telnet was used to check if the remote machine was listening to a port and the connectivity. We used telnet as below telnet <serverIP> <portNumber>  #eg   telnet  10.112.12.13 5443 You could simulate telnet using ssh command line. Though SSH is a protocol and not a debug tool, we could do some tricks.The equivalent of above telnet would be ssh -vv -p 5443  10.112.12.13 ssh -p <portNumber> <serverIp>  telnet <serverIP> <portNumber> ssh -vv -p 5443  10.112.12.13
