In the past, to play a game for some platform on a computer, you have to find a corresponding console emulator to run it, and the necessary settings of each emulator vary. Some are very simple, while others may be more complex. This can be troublesome even for video game lovers who are fond of doing things from side to side. Fortunately, the appearance of RetroArch makes it more convenient for playing the classic video games on various platforms (a wide range of computers and game consoles) – within the same, lick and friendly GUI, as well as unified settings (so all configuration will be done once and for all).

Shadowsocks – Very fast and secure cross-plarform SOCKS5 proxy

VestaCP – Very popular and powerful alternative of cPanel

As of writing this post (at least 5 months ago), AppNee is officially ready to move to a VPS hosting. But because the server administrator was accustomed to use the popular, simple and friendly inbuilt cPanel web hosting control panel (WHCP) on a shared hosting, at the very start, operating a VPS under the command line (via Linux Terminal) is confusing, very ungainly and inefficient.
