PHP Issues With Decoding Strange Smart Quotes And Non-Standard ASCII Characters
When using strip_tags and html_entity_decode with PHPit often breaks and produces annoying diamonds with question marks.
It is probably because of characters like these:
… (looks like 3 dots but it is a single weird character).
’ (looks like a normal apostraphe but it is not)
” (looks like a normal double quote but it is not).

bash for loop script for a specified number of times example
for entity in {1..20}; do
echo "entity=entity"
done
The above will loop 20 times, you could also do {2..50} etc...
for entity in {0..10..5}; do
echo "entity=entity"
done
The above will loop 10 times but will start from 0 and increment by 5 each time.........
Realtek r8169 1gbit/1000mbit NIC/Ethernet Goes Down/Halts on Large File Transfer/Heavy Network Usage
This is obviously a bug in the r8169 kernel module and it seems to affect a lot of people. I upgraded to the latest kernel and hope this won't happen anymore, as it is a very serious error. This is especially serious for those who are running servers with this chipset, who can afford for the NIC to randomly go off-line for no apparent reason?
