  • Which Tools make your SysAdmin Life easier?
    I haven't been an actual admin in years (do sales now) but Gasmask is great for managing multiple hosts files so you can easily hop between overrides. Source: almost 1 year ago
  • Multiple laravel projects on docker?
    Then another thing I use is https://github.com/2ndalpha/gasmask which is basically a multiple /etc/hosts editor (in case you're using Mac OS). But Windows/Linux must have their own alternatives. Basically I put fancy names here, like nameofyourproject.localhost or something like that. Source: almost 2 years ago
  • Is there any way to block ads that appears in apps?
    Damn I got gasMask to use the host file on my mac. Source: almost 3 years ago
