I’ve always been fond of PostgreSQL, now this Postgres hidden gems – Craig Kerstiens shows its smart features even more!

To allow or not to allow?
… at my would-be coauthors, would someone please tell them, and every non-native-English-speaker-but-aspiring-English-author, to read this? Please, please, please, please, please. In English the verb “allow” cannot take an infinitive as a complement. Ever. You may not write “my method allows to improve productivity” (even if it’s true, which it probably isn’t, but never mind).

gnome3 – How can I connect to Gnome 3 with a Windows VNC client? Got “rightly” answered on Unix & Linux Stack Exchange

- Use a different VNC server, such as tightvnc, with a different desktop manager, such as MATE, Xfce, LXDE, etc.

But it’s boring to plug headphones into the “secondary” machine and switch off the audio on the main one.
Luckily we have PulseAudio on Linux.
I may need this at work:
