For some unknown reason, one of my domain controller servers has changed its network location from domain to public:
This is annoying because the 'public domain' firewall then starts blocking all unknown incoming traffic to my server.
We need to change this network location to be domain. However sometime, the location name is not clickable!!
To fix this, I found a trick:
Navigate to this network properties and un-tick the Internet Protocol Version 6 (TCP/IPv6) stack
Click OK
Then it should change the network location type to domain
Now you can change the IPv6 stack back ON

Upgrade Wordpress Procedures
I am hosting my own wordpress website and very often needed to upgrade the wordpress package. Obviously there is an automatic way to upgrade wordpress which requires FTP server. I do not have FTP server and thus doing the manual way.
There is the official way to upgrade it manually, however, I am using the following methods to upgrade it
Backup wordpress
#Backup the database
#Backup the files
rsync -a wordpress/ wordpress.backup/
Download the latest wordpress
wget http://wordpress.org/latest.tar.gz
Extract the tar file
gunzip latest.tar.gz
tar -xvf latest.tar
this creates a wordpress directory
Disable all the plugins
Navigate to the admin panel and disable all the plugins
Copy the updated files
rsync -rtv new_wordpress/wordpress/ old_path/wordpress/
Check the website
Browse the website which usually prompts for the database upgrade.
If everything is OK, you can delete wordpress.backup/ folder
