04:06 PM | Customer: Hi Raidboxes! 
 What has happened to the 'WebP support' option? It is turned on, as it always was, but it seems to me that it no longer works.

04:07 PM | Customer: For example, if I try this JPEG file (https://www.mysite.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/image.jpg), it is delivered as a JPEG, not as an AVIF or WebP file, although the AVIF and WebP files are in the right place: https://www.mysite.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/image.jpg.webp and https://www.mysite.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/image.jpg.avif
04:07 PM | Customer: Could you do something on the back end to restore transparent support for modern image formats?

Disable Alt+F1, Alt-F7, etc, because I need them in Double Commander as shortcuts. Read more: http://askubuntu.com/questions/126817/how-to-disable-alt-f1-alt-f2-shortcuts

gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.wm.keybindings panel-main-menu "[]"
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.wm.keybindings begin-move "[]"
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.wm.keybindings switch-to-workspace-down  "[]"

This should be executed only once. It's remembered forever.

Using variables, also called repeated nodes in YAML, but in JSON variant of YAML format. I'm using this for the whole subtree. Great!

{
  "original": &VAR
  {
    "x": "Value x",
    "subtree":
    {
      "y": "Value Y"

How to change Start menu button keyboard shortcut in Linux Mint?

Linux Mint has something called MintMenu button that has a functionality similar to the Start button in Windows.

To define keyboart shortcut for this button, we need to right-click on the MintMenu button on the panel and from the dropdown to click on Preferences. Change the keyboard shortcut there.

Log out and back in, to see effects of changes made.

Batch file vagrant.bat sets both GEM_HOME and GEM_PATH environment variables. It would be nice of him to restore old values after finishing it's work.

Something like:

:: Save variables
SET "GEM_HOME_SAVED=%GEM_HOME%"
SET "GEM_PATH_SAVED=%GEM_PATH%"

:: Make --no-ri --no-rdoc default gem install options (without documentation)
:: Possible variations:
:: For every user:
::    echo gem: --no-ri --no-rdoc > "%PROGRAMDATA%\gemrc"
:: Only for you
::    echo gem: --no-ri --no-rdoc >> "%USERPROFILE%\.gemrc"
::
:: Note: In Windows, %PROGRAMDATA% is /etc on Linux
::
:: But finally, the best way to do it. See: http://stackoverflow.com/a/7662245/1579985

:: Download ZeroMQ for Windows [Installers for Microsoft Windows](http://www.zeromq.org/distro:microsoft-windows)
:: Use only 32bit install, even on 64bit Windows and only 2.2.0 version (not 3.x)
:: Make sure you're not using the 3.x beta version of zeromq - you must use the official 2.x libs

ZeroMQ-<whatever>.exe /S /D=c:\tools\zeromq && echo ZeroMQ for Windows installed

:: DLL must be renamed
copy c:\tools\zeromq\bin\libzmq-v100-mt.dll c:\tools\zeromq\bin\libzmq.dll

:: Install Ruby Gem zmq
