Apache file ownership and envvars
lk flag

I use Ubuntu 20.04. I have edited /etc/apache2/envvars to change the run user to userA: export APACHE_RUN_USER=userA

When I run this PHP script from W3 Schools to upload a file, the upload works - but the owner of the file is not userA as I intend. It remains www-data.

Yet: sudo apache2ctl -S reports User: name="userA" id=1002, as set in envvars.

So why does www-data own the file, and not userA? W ...

I can't share individual windows during skype/GoogleMeet video calls (Ubuntu 20.04)
cn flag

During video calls, Skype and Google Meet only let me share the whole screen (desktop) rather than specific windows. The only option it shows is the Desktop screen as if I didn't have any other windows available to share. I'd appreciate it if you could give me a hand, as I give online classes through video calls, and not being able to share individual windows during them it's quite annoying.

I'm in search of a dedicated blogging app for Ubuntu 20.04LTS. My searches have uncovered Blogilo, Drivel and gScribble.

All three were last updated 10 years or so ago and hence all the libraries and ancillary files are past the version numbers used in building these apps.

The Stunning Power of Questions

Much of an executive’s workday is spent asking others for information—requesting status updates from a team leader, for example, or questioning a counterpart in a tense negotiation. Yet unlike professionals such as litigators, journalists, and doctors, who are taught how to ask questions as an essential part of their training, few executives think of questioning as a skill that can be honed—or consider how their own answers to questions could make conversations more productive.

That’s a missed opportunity. Questioning is a uniquely powerful tool for unlocking value in organizations: It spurs learning and the exchange of ideas, it fuels innovation and performance improvement, it builds rapport and trust among team members. And it can mitigate business risk by uncovering unforeseen pitfalls and hazards.

For some people, questioning comes easily. Their natural inquisitiveness, emotional intelligence, and ability to read people put the ideal question on the tip of their tongue. But most of us don’t ask enough questions, nor do we pose our inquiries in an optimal way.

The good news is that by asking questions, we naturally improve our emotional intelligence, which in turn makes us better questioners—a virtuous cycle. In this article, we draw on insights from behavioral science research to explore how the way we frame questions and choose to answer our counterparts can influence the outcome of conversations. We offer guidance for choosing the best type, tone, sequence, and framing of questions and for deciding what and how much information to share to reap the most benefit from our interactions, not just for ourselves but for our organizations.
