Redis Sentinel with Laravel

As the use of Redis Sentinel with Laravel does not appear to be documented at the time of writing, I’m sharing the configuration I’m using. This is the redis section of my config/database.php: ‘redis’ => [ ‘client’ => env(‘REDIS_CLIENT’, ‘predis’), ‘options’ => [ // Don’t set ‘cluster’ option. The only valid values are ‘predis’ and […]

RMVB files on (64-bit) Linux

The Chinese like to share their movies in RMVB (RealMedia) format as opposed to Xvid or DivX. Not sure why it got to be so popular (I would prefer the more open Xvid), but the file sizes and quality it produces are quite good. A problem I ran into is that mplayer/vlc don’t seem to […]
