Removing the loud velcro hook and loop fastener from a Maxpedition wallet

Got a Maxpedition wallet with a velcro fastener that is incredibly loud whenever you open it?

Remove the velcro! I took some knife on my Maxpedition C.M.C. wallet and removed the “hooky” part of the two velcro strips. The back-seam of that part is inside the wallet, so if the wallet is closed there is no visible change.

Now, with that part removed, the “flappy” part of the wallet is no longer fixed to the rest of it which is no problem at all when you’re wearing the wallet in trousers pocket or in a backpack/bag. It also stays closed when you put your wallet on a cabinet or table. The only thing you shouldn’t do anymore is throw your wallet through the air.

Here’s a series of pictures detailing how I removed the velcro strip and how the final result looks like:

Fixing broken http/2 downloads from Nextcloud on an Apache server

I recently installed Apache 2.4.27 and Nextcloud 12.0.2 on Arch Linux using the available offical packages.
After enabling http2 I found that larger downloads from Nextcloud were failing after a couple of hundred megabytes. The download just stops until there is a timeout and the browser shows a failure. The server logs showed no error at all but infact a nice http 200 success code.

After switching between php-fpm and an fcgi wrapper, between mpm worker and mpm event I gave it a test and disabled http2 again and voila the downloads were working just fine.

And indeed there are some issues to be found when searching the net and especially https://github.com/owncloud/core/issues/26753 sounded very familiar.

After fiddling with some of the mod_http2 options I finally increased the H2StreamMaxMemSize Directive to an arbitrary but significantly higher value: H2StreamMaxMemSize 5120000

No more failures after that, even when downloading multiple files concurrently from different devices! No more stuck files and perfect happyness 😉
