Best Domains to Buy and SubDomains Recommendation

02-01-2025 tips

Domains to buy

Some registrar are tricky when it comes to renewing, so here is my favorite ones...

porkbun.com - offers the best rewning price by far

namecheap.com - is your second option.

SubDomains

If you don't want to spend money, you can have these (or merge for web hosting)

You can find some more free domains on getfreedomain.name

Making a simple RubberDucky USB on home

05-09-2024 how-to

Official RubberDucky are cool but expensive, there is a cheaper (and kinda limited) way around it...

You can buy one of these chips at very cheap cost (~5$).

Then proceed with installation:

1 - Install drivers at github.

1.1 – Unzip file, open file DPinst64.exe, click nextnextnext etc

2 - Install Arduino IDE (Legacy) from arduino site.

3 - Open Arduino, go to File > Preferences, and on "Additional Boards Manager URLS", paste:

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/digistump/arduino-boards-index/refs/heads/master/package_digistump_index.json

and click OK

3.1 - Go to Tools, in Board: [some board here if you have connected], Boards Manager

3.2 - Search for "Digitump", install "Digitump AVR Boards", and hit close after install

4 - With all that installed, program your device, use code below as example (this will open calc on windows):

#include "DigiKeyboard.h"
void setup() { }

void loop() {
DigiKeyboard.sendKeyStroke(0);
DigiKeyboard.delay(500);
DigiKeyboard.sendKeyStroke(KEY_R, MOD_GUI_LEFT);
DigiKeyboard.delay(500);
DigiKeyboard.print("calc");
DigiKeyboard.sendKeyStroke(KEY_ENTER);
DigiKeyboard.delay(500);

for (;;) {
/*empty loop*/
}

}

5 - To upload, remove the board, press Ctrl+U, on console connect usb board again if it asks to do, and the script will executed

6 - Check these scripts too.

And the rest is history.

Best way to Download YouTube Content

03-09-2024 how-to

This is something that Google is constantly trying to stop from working, so things I put here may stop working tomorrow or not.

And you can't show this on Youtube of course, so it'll be here..

Easy way

cobalt - just paste the link, select auto for video or select audio, and press enter.

Android way

NewPipe - install the app, select video, and hit download. Works well as youtube app alternative, but it could be unstable.

Command line (most reliable)

Harder way but efficient.

A easy way to install on windows: open cmd/powershell without admin and execute below:

Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned -Scope CurrentUser
Invoke-RestMethod -Uri https://get.scoop.sh | Invoke-Expression
scoop install yt-dlp

After install, get content formats available for download:

yt-dlp -F "[LINK]"

Usually 18 is a video with audio in a regular quality and 140 for audio only. After finding the best download format, run the next command to download

yt-dlp -f 18 "[LINK]"

Check it's documentation for more useful configuration.

Why "blogging"

21-11-2024 explaining + archive

Makes more sense creating blog-style posting instead of creating sections for each type of content I make, right? We lose a bunch of time on things which we can't release but you learned something cool, and sharing could be useful for someone.

It helps with writing and memory, and register things of what I did/didn't do.
