Finally, put a Spanish wordlist together.

Published by xavier on October 7, 2022

I could finally put a Spanish wordlist together to tie it in with my Wordle Spanish app because the original dictionary I had was not very good and I was getting complaints about some words being used. It was true. I found some words in the original wordlist that were not even Spanish.

So here is the new list that was created with some help from other repos.

Let’s Encrypt with win-acme (exporting certificate IIS)

Published by xavier on December 28, 2020

Using https://www.win-acme.com for SSL.

To make a certificate exportable in Windows make sure that you modify the “settings.json” that is included with win-acme. Change “PrivateKeyExportable”: false to “PrivateKeyExportable”: true .

If you already created the certificate you might need to delete it then reboot the machine to keep it from giving you a cached version of the SSL certificate.

Clear Chrome DNS

Published by xavier on December 13, 2020

For the most part I use chrome and every time I do a modification to my hosts file I don’t want to close the browser because it caches DNS. This seems to work to clear cache chrome://net-internals/#dns

Recover lost space on a USB drive

Published by xavier on June 30, 2016

While doing some software installations for linux I had to shrink my flash drive to a partition of 32GB. The next time I stuck in my laptop I forgot I had done that and needed to use the entire 64GB that was available. Disk management wouldn’t allow me to delete the 32GB partition so I had do the following steps.

  • Insert your USB drive
  • Open a command prompt
  • Type in “diskpart”
  • Another window will open up, type “LIST DISK”. Not which disk is your USB drive.
  • Type in “SELECT DISK 1” or whatever disk was your USB drive.
  • Assuming you only had 1 partition on that drive, type in “SELECT PARTITION 1”.
  • Then type in “DELETE PARTITION”
  • That should be it, go back to Disk Management to complete the process of creating your partitions or formatting.
