I'm @boyEatsSteak in a lot of places. I have been wanting 🍕 for weeks. I like gadgets and technology and keeping notes and tips for my future self since all I can remember is that I forget things.
SiteGround: Accessing Site Tools
“Site Tools” is the admin area of SiteGround’s web hosting for managing a site’s files, databases, caching, and more.

Clearing Caches
If your website loads, but just looks miserable (plain white background, not your fonts, etc), or is not showing edits you recently made on the site – it is probably an issue with an outdated cache in your website or on your web host.

This is shared across Google Drive, Gmail, and Google Photos. […]
Git Bisect
tl;dr Some more details… I love this tool, but always forget how to use it. Start the bisect session: The first thing we need to put some “bookends” on the session, or tell git a spot we know in the repo is that is good, and a spot that we know is bad: These can […]
WordPress JS/CSS files 404’d
The site was reporting many JS/CSS files as 404 (this was with the MMR plugin, but I’m pretty sure that was coincidental). Switching to a twenty* theme with 0 plugins enabled didn’t result in any change, so it seemed like a caching issue. There was a normal install of WP Super Cache, as well as […]
This is a TL;DR of me trying to responsibly struggle against WordPress prompting for FTP credentials. This is my best compromise of security and usability when I want to support some in-browser updates and uploads, while also not sudo ing everything when working on the server.
Git Repo Size
I had a private Bitbucket repo that was complaining I was over the soft limit of 1GB. I thought I had remembered cleaning up my commit history a long time ago to re-size this repo, but it was still showing in the Bitbucket/<user>/<repo>/admin that it was over 1GB. The repo definitely wasn’t taking up that […]
