OmniPlan is a very powerful project management app for macOS. It offers custom inspectors, hierarchical outline mode, cost tracking, milestones, task constraints and dependencies, resource allocation, schedule control, Gantt charts, violation display, critical path, and more. Below are activation keys for each version, all tested and working.
Today Google officially released Chrome 88. The new version permanently drops support for Adobe Flash Player and FTP. Google also announced new password protection features for Chrome 88.
Plenty of webmasters wonder how much site ads really earn. I was curious too, but few seem willing to share — maybe because income is a sensitive subject. The big players can't be bothered, and those doing poorly are embarrassed to admit they make a few cents a month. I have no such shame, so let me lay it out for other webmasters: how much can you actually earn running Google AdSense?
BT is short for BitTorrent, a content distribution protocol. Under the BitTorrent protocol, the publisher generates a .torrent file — a seed file, or just "seed" — from the file being published. A .torrent file is essentially a text file containing two parts: tracker information and file information. A tracker server acts like a broadcast station, letting peers tell each other who has the file or is downloading it. This site runs one too: http://tracker.renfei.net:8080/announce.
I've wanted my own membership system since the site launched, but eight years ago I lacked the skill to protect members' accounts from everything out there on the internet, so registration stayed closed. Now, in year nine, it's here: encrypted transmission and storage of passwords, SMS login, TOTP two-factor authentication, login/logout sync with the PHP Discuz forum, automatic lockout on password brute force, and Google's page-behavior bot detection.
On November 19 my site's ads suddenly went blank and I got the Google AdSense email "An ad serving limit has been placed on your AdSense account". It was fully restored on December 14.
Recently the Baidu Analytics dashboard has been flooded with ads — traffic buying, invoice agents, SEO, cloud hosting and so on — badly interfering with normal statistics. Here's how I fixed it, shared for other webmasters.
Younger readers may not have a clear idea of what makes an input method "smart". Long ago, input methods were mostly standard ones — Smart ABC, for instance — where the candidate order never changed no matter what you typed. Today's input methods adjust based on the context of what you type and how often you use it, so it feels like the input method understands you. Behind that, your privacy is quietly being invaded.
Yesterday I suddenly found that the keyword 'Renfei's Blog' triggered Google Sitelink. This is the second time I've triggered Google Sitelink — the first was in February 2014. Because I changed domains, the new domain triggered Google Sitelink again, so I'll share my experience of triggering it twice.
After the WWDC conference a few days ago, Apple decided to drop Intel and use its self-designed ARM-based CPU. This also means the new Macs can't install Windows, and Microsoft refused to provide Windows 10 for ARM for the ARM-based Mac.
