Summary - Unreasonable Hospitality

Unreasonable Hospitality by Will Guidara

Unreasonable hospitality and its effects on your business

Unreasonable. This word has long screamed negativity, whether it’s your kid insisting on buying an expensive toy, a coworker who doesn’t compromise for the good of the project, or your mom refusing to listen to your sentiments. But what if you learn that being unreasonable could actually be a good thing?

In the service industry, hospitality is all about making people feel cared for, but when you add "unreasonable" to the mix, it takes things to a whole new level. Unreasonable hospitality is all about providing your customers with a unique, tailor-made service that makes them feel not just cared for but like real VIPs.

It’s not just about meeting expectations, it’s about exceeding them. And this act of going above and beyond creates an unforgettable encounter that’ll linger in people’s memories long after the experience is over.

How To Configure Varnish Cache with Apache Reverse Proxy and SSL Termination

Based on site: PlumRocket

In this guide, we will show you how to install and configure the Varnish cache for the Apache webserver with SSL termination. One limitation of Varnish Cache is that it is designed to accelerate HTTP, not the secure HTTPS protocol. Therefore, some workarounds must be performed to allow Varnish to work on SSL enabled website.

SSL/TLS Termination is the process of decrypting SSL-encrypted traffic. In our case, Apache acts like a proxy server and intermediary point between the client and Varnish and is used to convert HTTPS to HTTP.

Step 1. Install and Configure Apache (Backend) on CentOS/RHEL 8

We had CentOS 8 installed on our web server, which uses dnf package manager. However, if you are familiar with Linux systems, you can apply this manual almost entirely to other OS, such as Centos 7 (use yum) or Ubuntu and Debian (use apt instead).

Raspberry PI Pico W motion and light sensor relay

At first I thought I would need to use a PI Pico to control a automatic light in my garage.  I started off by buying the following, but then I learned that just the RCWL-0516 Switch Module could do it all without the need for the PI Pico.

Radar Sensor RCWL-0516 Switch Module

Songhe RCWL-0516 RCWL0516 Microwave Radar Sensor Module,Human Body Induction Switch Module,Motion Induction Switch Sensor Module 5-7m 4-28V 5pcs

At CDS you can add a LDR (light-dependent resistor) to do motion detection during night only. For example, if you need to use this module for motion sensing light for outdoor, then LDR is a must. Without LDR light will glow in daytime also which is the waste of electricity.

Raspberry PI 4B Tips

Use ssh to connect terminal session to PI

You can ssh to connect to your raspberry pi, all you need to know is the IP address,

The default user is pi, and the password is raspberry.

 

Remote Desktop connection to PI

You can use VNC to remote connect to your PI, using your computer Keyboard and screen to see and control a virtual desktop.
