The healing power of fitness goes far beyond physical benefits—for today’s guest, it’s a form of self-expression and a celebration of what the body can do. In this episode, host Nora McInerny sits down with fitness personality Ivylis Rivera, who shares her deeply personal journey of navigating life with Chronic Migraine while holding onto her passion for movement. Ivylis opens up about the struggle of staying active while facing the fear of triggering a headache or migraine attack and the resilience it takes to keep pushing forward—a resilience that carried her through the challenging journey of finding a Chronic Migraine treatment plan that worked for her. Join Nora and Ivylis as they explore the concept of “soft living,” a philosophy Ivylis embraces—staying active, listening to your body, and building trust in oneself.

Now that we're dealing with blocks if you want to put a background color on an image you have to go to your advanced, additional CSS classes section and reference a class that you have to create either in your theme files or in your special "additional CSS" area under the customizer. I needed the background of an image to be black (and the caption text to be white) so I did: .imgblack { color: white; background-color: black; } And then referenced that class name in the settings for that particular block.

WARNING: THIS WILL AFFECT EVERY FILE IN YOUR CHOSEN DIRECTORY, so move all the files that you need to rename to their own folder.

I'm killing time at the airport and I see that there is a stop error on one of the screens displaying flight information. Stop error is often confused with the blue screen of death, or bsod. they are not the same, stop errors wow problematic are not necessarily fatal to your machine. Stop errors are often caused by driver incompatibilities or errors in memory when accessing or reaccessing a specific piece of hardware.

Windows has a built-in method for cleaning out unnecessary files how to free up hard drive space, it's called "Disk Cleanup". But disk cleanup has a lot of options, and you may not know which boxes to check; nothing to do here is really going to wreck your computer, but when you're trying to get rid of temporary files and don't want to delete something that might be useful in the future it's good to know what the different boxes mean.

I need to create a network accessible file share for my local pc and two Amazon workspaces to access. I found instructions online, and even a video, but they didn't cover everything. So here I go though creating an S3 bucket, setting up and EC2 instance, creating the file gateway, setting up the file share, and then connecting to it with a drive letter on Windows using NFS. With AWS (Amazon Web Services) this is all possible, and not even too hard to do; it just took a while to figure out how a few things tie together and what relies on what.

One of the internal applications that we use is Alfresco Community Edition. I got a notification that a particular folder on my Windows server for our internal applications was getting bigger than one would expect it to be. I looked in the Apache Tomcat log files had accumulated over the last year and were taking up over a 180GB worth space! So I archived all but the current logs, and then set out to update the log4j properties file to change the logging level from "info" or "debug" (where not commented out) to "warn" (I left the "error" flags alone, and didn't see any "fatal" flags).

You know the issue where YouTube video will play, and you see the progress bar going, and you can even hear stuff, but the video box is just black? It's weird because if you move your mouse along the progress for the video it'll even show you the little snapshot preview.
