Oh boy did this make me pull some hair. Today we’re going to see how, with a shortened domain, we can redirect every request to our main domain. Preface In my example I’m going to use gerosalorenzo.com, the website you’re visiting right now, and grlo.me, a shortened version that I’ve just bought in the hope of hosting a personal url shortener (not in my homeserver as I wouldn’t want that dependent on my ability to keep my infrastructure up, just like this static website). ...

Install the drivers Those are usually pre installed, but you might have to do so manually. Download them here, extract the zip then click install after right clicking on the “silabser.inf” file (these are the instructions for windows). After doing that reboot your pc.

Plug it in a usb port of your pc (still holding the button down), I used a port directly on the motherboard and not one on the front IO, I think it was part of the problem why it wasn’t working. Then, while still keeping the button pressed, press on install and select your device from the dropdown. Press “Install XZG firmware” If you’re only seeing the “Preparing installation” text for 30s or more it probably failed, if it goes to “Erasing data” after a few sec it should be going well. Wait a couple of minutes until it finishes and then you can unplug it Enjoy the new fresh install. ...
