Safe Email Testing Solution

As developers or project staff it’s really hard to come up with a clean and safe email testing solution. You never want to send production emails but, really how do you test them.

I’ve recently found this service https://mailtrap.io/. You just add the email settings in your application however you usually would and all emails generated by your system will just display in your dashboard inside mail trap. Please feel free to check out this amazing service https://mailtrap.io/billing/plans

htop

Htop is super easy to use

Linux top is very useful in seeing system processes. The only problem is the general layout and commands are not obvious while its open. For those reasons, I like htop (htop – interactive process viewer). It lists many options on the bottom of the screen and you can press the letter h to get more detailed information. Once in the application, you can press f5 to activate tree view or you can press the period key to change the sorting column. I also use the f4 key a lot to activate the search functionality. HTop is definitely a must-have application

 

In a Debian based Linux distro like Ubuntu, Gnome, Kubuntu and plenty more just run this comment below which will install it because htop is not installed by default.

sudo apt install htop -y;
