Why this is attractive
• A very low upfront cost makes it easy to experiment, launch side projects or early-stage websites without much capital. For example, the registrar IONOS offers domains “from just $1” for the first year. 
• It lowers the barrier to entry for businesses/individuals, especially in cost-sensitive markets.
• Often part of promotional campaigns, so you can get a decent TLD (top-level domain) at a big discount.
What you must check before buying
• Renewal price: Many $1 deals are only for the first year, and renewal will be much higher. One Redditor wrote about a $1 domain, but then renewal jumped to ~$50. 
• TLD and restrictions: The bargain may apply only to less-common extensions (.xyz, .top, .icu) rather than .com or .org.
• Hidden fees / set-up costs: Some registrars may tack on extra fees (ICANN fees, WHOIS privacy, domain locking) after promotion.
• Support, management tools, WHOIS privacy: A cheap domain is fine—but you still want decent DNS control, privacy (if needed), and support.
• Validity of offer in your region: Since you’re “in Pakistan / via Cyberian.pk”, check payment methods (local gateway, currency) and whether the registrar supports your region easily.
• Ownership and transfer rights: Make sure you own the domain fully (not locked or leased) and can transfer if needed.
⸻
Top current offers & good registrars
Here are some strong offers and registrars. These are mostly international, but many work globally (including Pakistan) as long as payment and region compatibility are fine. If you want purely Pakistan-registrars, I can dig up local deals too.
• Namecheap: They run promos like “99 ¢ domain names” for selected TLDs. 
• NameSilo (via partner sites): For example, you can get domains from $0.99/year for some TLDs such as .xyz. 
• IONOS: Their page advertises “$1 domain names – first year” for popular TLDs. 
• HostWeber: Cheap domains starting at $1.99/year for specific extensions. 
• Local Pakistan-accessible: For example, the site HostCry lists Pakistani-rupee pricing and local domain extensions. 
ere are direct links you might include (please verify at time of your writing as promotions change):
• Namecheap “99 ¢ domain names” promotion: Namecheap Promo Page 
• IONOS $1 domain offer: IONOS $1 Domain Names 
• NameSilo discounted domains: Free & Cheap Domains – Gilect / NameSilo 
• HostWeber cheap domain list: HostWeber Cheap Domains 
• HostCry Pakistan local domain pricing (good local reference): HostCry Cheap Domain Pakistan 
Here’s a comparison table of 10 domain-registrars good for your site (especially for a Pakistan-focus via Cyberian) — showing first-year offers, typical renewal pricing, and how friendly they are for Pakistan users. Use this as a basis to pick the best for you and your market.
Registrar
First-Year Price (promo)
Typical Renewal Price
Pakistan-Friendly Notes
IONOS
Starting from ~ US$1 for selected TLDs 
Likely higher after promo; you’ll need to check specific TLD
Good global coverage, low entry price
Hostinger
From US$0.99 for some domain TLDs (e.g., .shop, .xyz)
 Renewal can be higher; standard domain renewal rates apply
Good for budget-aware customers in Pakistan / international
NameSilo
“Starting at $1.00” for some extensions 
Transparent renewal pricing; less hidden fees
Great for those focusing purely on domain & minimal upsells
Namecheap
Many promotions, e.g., ~$0.98 for .space or other TLDs 
Renewal rates higher but clearly listed
Well-known brand; good for Pakistan audience who value global trust
Cloudflare Registrar
Low cost registration/renewals, “no markup, no inflated renewal fees” model 
Reinforces low-renewal model
Good if you’re technically savvy and want minimal cost over lifetime
GoDaddy
Promo domains “as low as US$0.99” for 1st year in some markets
 Renewal often more expensive; need to check local pricing
Global big-brand; good recognition but less “cheap” after year 1
Local Pakistan Registrar (via PKNIC)
.pk domains: Rs 1,600/year for local registrant (registry fee) 
Renewal similar; note constraints (minimum 2-year registration) 
Very relevant for purely Pakistani audience wanting .pk domain
Local Pakistan Reseller: iHoster
“Starting from PKR 1,500/year” for domain registration in Pakistan context (with conditions) 
Renewal at regular listed price (so check ups)
Good option if you want fully local support, payment methods, PKR billing
Registrar focusing cheap renewals: Cosmotown (mentioned via article)
Example .com registration $7.77 (historical snapshot) 
Renewal ~US$9 for .com in example
Lower cost but less mainstream; good if cost is top-priority
Registrar with first-year under US$5: Dynadot
First-year registrations under US$5 on many TLDs 
Renewal often under US$15 for many extensions
Good value option for non-.pk domains and global audience

Uncaught TypeError: firebase.auth is not a function: This error indicates that you’re trying to call firebase.auth() as a function, but in the Firebase modular (v9+) or compat APIs, firebase.auth (when properly initialized via side-effect imports like import ‘firebase/compat/auth’) is a namespace, and to get the auth service instance, you should call app.auth() on your initialized Firebase app instance (app).
I will correct this in your services/firebaseConfig.ts file.
Uncaught TypeError: Failed to construct ‘URL’: Invalid URL: This error means that a string being passed to the new URL() constructor is not a valid, complete URL. This often happens if the URL string is relative (e.g., “/some/path”) without a base, malformed, or simply not a URL. This is most likely occurring in services/geminiService.ts within the parseGeminiResponse function when processing URLs returned by the Gemini API, or subsequently in ResultItemCard.tsx if a malformed URL string makes it through.
I’ll make the URL parsing in parseGeminiResponse more robust to ensure that only valid, absolute HTTP/HTTPS URLs are set, or null otherwise. This should prevent invalid strings from being passed to new URL() later.
The Firebase error should now be resolved by correctly initializing the auth service in firebaseConfig.ts. The "Invalid URL" error should be mitigated by the more defensive URL parsing in geminiService.ts, ensuring that only well-formed, absolute HTTP/HTTPS URLs are passed on, or null if a valid URL cannot be confidently determined from the Gemini API's output.

Even the most secure Linux system can be vulnerable if not properly protected, here’s how to fix that fast:
Keep your system updated, disable unnecessary services, and never use root for everyday tasks.
Set up a strong firewall, limit SSH access, and always use SSH keys instead of passwords.
Enable tools like SELinux or AppArmor, and install intrusion detection systems like Tripwire or OSSEC.
Apply Zero Trust principles: restrict access by IP, use VPNs like WireGuard, and monitor system logs regularly.
Harden your system further by disabling unused kernel modules, limiting USB access, and enabling Two-Factor Authentication.
Linux is powerful, but only if secured. Apply these steps and take control of your system’s safety today.

Starting with decision-making statements like if, else if, and switch can be tricky for beginners, but knowing the common mistakes can save you a lot of trouble.
Here are some of these mistakes:
Many new programmers forget parentheses after an if condition, causing programs to behave incorrectly even if the logic is right.
Mixing up the equal sign (=) with the double equal sign (==) can lead to wrong results without any visible error.
Skipping curly braces makes it unclear which code belongs to which condition, often causing serious bugs.
Confusing greater than and less than signs, and misunderstanding “and” and “or” logic operators, leads to faulty conditions.
Writing too many if statements when a switch or else if would work better can make the code messy and hard to fix.
Keep practicing step-by-step, test your conditions carefully, and you’ll soon write clean, smart, and error-free decision-making code.

🚫 Error: “Imgur Is Temporarily Over Capacity” — What It Means & How to Fix It
If you’ve tried to upload, browse, or share an image on Imgur and were greeted with the dreaded message:
“Imgur is temporarily over capacity. Please try again later.”
You’re not alone. This error pops up from time to time, especially during peak traffic hours or major internet events (memes go viral for a reason, after all).
But what exactly does it mean—and what can you do about it?
⸻
🤔 What Does “Over Capacity” Mean?
When Imgur says it’s “over capacity,” it usually means the platform’s servers are under heavy load. It can’t handle the current number of requests being made by users at that exact moment.
Think of it like this:
You’re at a coffee shop and everyone in town shows up at once to order a drink. The baristas can’t make coffee fast enough, and people are told to wait or come back later. That’s Imgur’s server situation during “over capacity” errors.
⸻
🛠️ Common Reasons for This Error
• 🔥 Massive traffic spikes (e.g., viral posts, Reddit surges)
• 🛠️ Scheduled or unscheduled server maintenance
• 🧰 Server outages or infrastructure problems
• 🌍 Content Delivery Network (CDN) hiccups that prevent image loading
• 🧪 Backend updates or bugs being rolled out
⸻
✅ Solutions & Workarounds
Here are a few things you can try when you encounter this error:
Refresh the Page
Sometimes, it’s just a temporary glitch. Wait a few seconds and hit F5 or tap the refresh icon.
Try Again Later
Give it 5–10 minutes. If it’s a traffic overload, things usually calm down quickly.
Use an Alternate Image Hosting Service
If you’re in a hurry to share or embed an image, try:
• Postimages (https://postimages.org/)
• ImageShack (https://imageshack.us/)
• ImgBB (https://imgbb.com/)
• Google Drive / Dropbox (for private sharing)
Check Imgur’s Status Page
Sometimes Imgur posts live updates on system issues.
• Go to: https://status.imgur.com
• You can also check Twitter or Reddit to see if others are experiencing the same issue.
Use the Mobile App (or Desktop)
Sometimes, the issue is isolated to web or mobile. Switching platforms might help.
Clear Cache / Try Incognito Mode
Your browser might be holding onto outdated session data. Try opening Imgur in incognito mode or clear your browser cache.
⸻
💡 Pro Tip for Developers and Site Owners
If you’re embedding Imgur images on your site or app and want to avoid blank boxes when this error hits:
• Host a local backup of critical images.
• Use a fallback host in your HTML or scripts.
• Monitor Imgur’s API and implement retry logic.
⸻
📦 Final Word: Patience Is Key
Errors like “Imgur is temporarily over capacity” are frustrating, but usually short-lived. Imgur remains one of the most popular image hosts on the web, and occasional overloads are part of the game when millions of users flood the platform at once.
🕐 So if you see this error, take a break, grab a coffee, or meme offline for a bit. It’ll likely be working again soon.
⸻
Need help switching to another image host or embedding content on your site? Let me know—I can walk you through it step by step.
Cybersecurity isn’t just about strong passwords and firewalls, sometimes, the weakest link is human behavior.
Let’s uncover how attackers use social engineering to trick people into handing over sensitive information.
Emotional Manipulation: The Core of Social Engineering
Social engineering relies on manipulating emotions like fear, trust, or urgency to exploit victims. Phishing is the most common method, where fake emails or messages push users to click malicious links or share personal data.
Spear Phishing: Personalized Attacks on High-Value Targets
Spear phishing goes one step further by targeting specific individuals or roles within an organization like HR managers or executives using personalized messages that appear legitimate.
Vishing and Smishing: Voice and SMS Scams
Vishing and smishing swap emails for phone calls or texts, pretending to be banks or service providers asking you to “verify” sensitive details.
Clone Phishing: Familiar Emails with Malicious Links
Clone phishing mimics real emails but swaps out links with dangerous ones, tricking users into entering credentials on fake websites.
Evil Twin Attacks: Fake Wi-Fi Networks That Steal Your Data
Evil twin attacks set up fake public Wi-Fi spots that look real but capture everything you do online, from login details to private conversations.
So, always double-check what you click, who you trust, and where you connect. Staying alert is your best defense against social engineering attacks.

Are you learning Python? Don’t skip sets, they’re more important than you might think!
Here is why:
Effortless Uniqueness
Sets automatically remove duplicates, ensuring your data stays clean and unique. Great for scenarios like filtering repeated customer locations.
Fast Lookups
Need to check if an item exists? Sets do it faster than lists or tuples thanks to how they’re stored in memory.
Flexible and Mutable
Unlike tuples, sets are mutable. You can add or remove elements anytime using add() and remove() or discard().
No Specific Order
Sets don’t maintain a fixed order. This means elements may appear in different positions each time you view or print the set.
Perfect for Real-World Use
Big companies like Amazon use sets to track unique customer locations and avoid redundant data processing—smart and efficient!
Start using sets in your Python projects today and take your coding skills to the next level!
To get the complete information, watch the YouTube video:
The good news is that we will be launching our Python course very soon that will take your skills to next level.

Step 1: Check the Current PHP Version
Before upgrading, check your current PHP version to confirm the upgrade is needed.
php -v
Step 2: Update System Packages
Ensure all system packages are up to date.
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y
Step 3: Add the PHP PPA Repository
PHP 8.2 might not be available in the default Ubuntu repositories. Add the Ondřej Surý PPA, which maintains the latest PHP versions.
sudo apt install software-properties-common -y
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ondrej/php -y
sudo apt update
Step 4: Install PHP 8.2
Install PHP 8.2 and its essential extensions. Customize the extensions based on your application’s requirements.
sudo apt install php8.2 php8.2-cli php8.2-fpm php8.2-mysql php8.2-curl php8.2-xml php8.2-mbstring php8.2-zip php8.2-bcmath php8.2-soap php8.2-intl php8.2-gd -y
Step 5: Set PHP 8.2 as the Default Version
If multiple PHP versions are installed, use the update-alternatives command to set PHP 8.2 as the default version.
sudo update-alternatives --set php /usr/bin/php8.2
sudo update-alternatives --set phpize /usr/bin/phpize8.2
sudo update-alternatives --set php-config /usr/bin/php-config8.2
Step 6: Verify the PHP Version
Confirm that PHP 8.2 is now the active version.
php -v
Step 7: Configure PHP 8.2-FPM (If Using Nginx)
If you are using Nginx with PHP-FPM, ensure PHP 8.2-FPM is active.
1. Disable the old PHP-FPM version:
sudo systemctl disable php7.x-fpm
sudo systemctl stop php7.x-fpm
2. Enable PHP 8.2-FPM:
sudo systemctl enable php8.2-fpm
sudo systemctl start php8.2-fpm
Step 8: Update Web Server Configuration
Update your web server to use PHP 8.2.
• For Apache:
1. Disable the old PHP module:
sudo a2dismod php7.x
2. Enable PHP 8.2:
sudo a2enmod php8.2
sudo systemctl restart apache2
• For Nginx:
Update the fastcgi_pass directive in your Nginx site configuration to point to the PHP 8.2 socket or TCP port, typically:
fastcgi_pass unix:/run/php/php8.2-fpm.sock;
Then restart Nginx:
sudo systemctl restart nginx
Step 9: Test Your PHP Configuration
Create a phpinfo() file to verify your PHP setup.
1. Navigate to your web root directory:
cd /var/www/html
2. Create a file named info.php:
echo "<?php phpinfo();" > info.php
3. Access the file in your browser:
http://your-server-ip/info.php
4. Ensure PHP 8.2 is displayed.
Step 10: Cleanup and Security
1. Remove the info.php file after verification to prevent exposing sensitive information:
rm /var/www/html/info.php
2. Uninstall unused PHP versions:
sudo apt remove php7.x -y
sudo apt autoremove -y
Your PHP installation is now upgraded to version 8.2! If you encounter any issues, feel free to ask.
