Because of my freelance schedule, sometimes my commute is earlier than usual. And although it is tough to get out of bed, more often then not, those mornings I can catch a glimpse of the sunrise. On this particular morning, the sunlight beamed in rays through the cypress and eucalyptus trees in the Panhandle.
The other cyclists were silhouetted by the morning sun, so I couldn't tell if they were fashionable or not, and I didn't care.


I haven't posted a Sinful recipe in a while, or any recipe really in a while! New Years Resolution/goal: BLOG MORE!!
Yes I try to stick to a healthy diet and avoid processed foods, BUT it's the holiday season. And holidays to me bring back memories of me and my siblings are the breakfast/lunch/dinner table chatting, catching up, and enjoying my Mom's delicious food. We're a chaotic loud bunch but I wouldn't change it for the world.
I'm hooked on smoothies, stir fries and hefty salads as seen on my Instagram and encourage a balanced lifestyle, but I think we have allow ourselves to enjoy the festive period and indulge here and there! I'm bringing you an easy recipe to enjoy with your loved ones this festive season-EGGNOG FRENCH TOAST! It's pretty decadent and filling!
Tis the season to be merry and full of comfort food!
I do believe brioche bread works best for the recipe. For the eggnog I use Costco's Kirkland brand, and it has the flavors of nutmeg, cinnamon and vanilla mixed into it. So if your eggnog doesn't include spices and vanilla, add a teaspoon of cinnamon, nutmeg and vanilla.
In a mixing bowl, or dish, whisk well together your eggs and eggnogs. Put your slices of brioche bread into the eggnog mix and let soak. I fit about 3-4 slice in my bowl. Let soak. While brioche is soaking, melt a teaspoon of butter in a frying pan. When the butter is melted and pan is hot, add your brioche. was able to fit three to four slices on my pan, and in between each batch add a teaspoon to the pan. Yes, lots of butter but it makes it so delicious(especially if using KerryGold)! Flip when golden brown. Repeat process until everyone has a full plate!
Enjoy and have a wonderful holiday season!

Q: unable to read/write to newly created files linux I have setup laravel on a linux server and my apache is owned by root and www is owned by www-data and any new file created is owned by root user in the storage dir here is the screenshot of permissions for all directories inside /var/www/website/
And these are the permissions inside storage/logs dir. The newly created file is owned by the root user. Now, web server is unable to open this file for writing which causes errors on the website. I am not sure if this happens whent the root owns the file or when. But I kept ignoring this and kept applying a temporary fix by using the commands
sudo chmod -R 775 storage or sudo chown www-data:www-data storage
I want to fix this error once and for all. For reference these
are the permissions inside /etc/ dir

A: ACL let's you add additional user permissions - where for example, the file could be owned by www-data but other users can have r/w permission on it. To set this up:
Install acl (apt install acl). Then in your fstab file, add acl as an option. For example:
/dev/sda / ext3 noatime,errors=remount-ro,acl 0 1

Then remount:
mount -a

Change the ownership of all the files backed to www-data if you've changed them. Set the default "acls" for any files that will later be created:
setfacl -dm u:myname:rwx /var/www

... and set the acls on already existing files:
setfacl -m u:myname:rw

... and directories
setfacl -m u:myname:rwx

Q: What does voltage really do? I know there are many videos (many of which I have watched) and many posts (many of which I have read) about voltage, but I feel like a few points are left out that should be explained.

*

*What is voltage really doing? Is it making the current move faster by using more energy (measured in joules) to move one coulomb, so is it just making current faster, which is where the pressure analogy comes from?

*What is electrical potential, and how does it tie in with voltage?

*Do voltage dividers limit current? And if so, how do you find out how much current is per volt?

*What happens when voltage is increased, does more current flow?
I bet that I am misunderstanding something so if you could also explain that, it would be greatly appreciated.
This is the last question I'm going to ask for a really long time, so I hop it sends voltage home for me...
Thanks in advance!

A: This image explain pretty neatly whats is happening without much technical terms

A: As has been explained multiple times in the answers and comments to your previous questions you are confusing a physical property (energy) with the units of measure (joules). "... making the current move faster by using more joules ..." should read "... using more energy".

*

*What is voltage really doing? Is it making the current move faster ..., so is it just making current faster ...

Raising the voltage will, in a resistor circuit, increase the current. Current is the flow of charge so, for a given conductor cross-section, increasing the current must increase the charge velocity. The current, however, moves simultaneously all around the circuit the same way a bicycle chain moves all links in the circuit simultaneously.

*What is electrical potential, and how does it tie in with voltage?

As explained in my previous answer, "Voltage electric potential difference, electric pressure or electric tension is the difference in electric potential between two points." Voltage is electrical potential.

*Do voltage dividers limit current?

Voltage dividers are usually made of resistors. Resistors limit current.

And if so, how do you find out how much current is per volt?

Use Ohm's Law. \$ I = \frac {V}{R} \$.

*What happens when voltage is increased, does more current flow?

Use Ohm's Law. \$ I = \frac {V}{R} \$.

From the comments:

1) Why does the current only increase in a circuit with resistance?

I mentioned resistance as an example because they are linear. Other devices don't behave in a linear fashion; LEDs, transistorised circuits, constant current circuits, etc.

2) How does having more charges (electrons in this case -> amps) increase the velocity of the charges, and why would velocity increase the amount of charges electrons in a certain space rather than just speeding up the electrons?

To increase the amount of water going down a channel (the current) you have to speed it up or make the channel wider so that it goes at the same speed. To get more current through a point in a circuit you increase the current density (and therefore the speed of the charges) or you increase the conductor width and maintain the same density (current per unit area - measured in A/m2).

A: Voltage is analogous to water pressure, current is analogous to water flow. A high voltage (pressure) wants to find a path to lower voltage (pressure). If it finds one, current will flow. How much current is dependent on the resistance, per ohms law.
Electric potential is the same as voltage.
Resistance limits current. Using two resistors will create a ratio of voltages. The current is dependent on the sum of the resistors.

iTunes Match live in UK, reported to be working in many other countries
Apple's iTunes Match international rollout is taking place today, December 15th.

itunes match uk
The UK iTunes Store has been updated with a new link to iTunes Match on its right rail, where you can subscribe to the music-matching service in exchange for £21.99 per year. Match launched in the US almost exactly a month ago, alongside a new version of iTunes and its rollout to the UK is also accompanied by an update to the underlying software. You'll need version 10.5.2 to get things going. We're getting some sign-in errors while trying to use the service, so maybe not quite everything is in place for its launch, but it's there and should be live and fully functional imminently. To give it a try yourself, launch the latest version of iTunes and follow the onscreen instructions.
Our commenters have also got Match working in Canada now, while a casual browsing of Twitter activity on the topic reveals similar happy reports from Mexico, Germany, France, Australia, and other locales. So the iTunes Match international rollout is well and truly on.
