TL;DR: Use dos2unix While switching from Ubuntu to Alpine images, I’ve encountered the fillowing error: standard_init_linux.go:195: exec user process caused “no such file or directory” Quite unfortunate, because the script stayed in the same spot and only the image changed. After reading a bunch, I figured that it’s the fact that I’m editing on Windows […]

Redis on Windows – Save RDB but Not Able to Persist
TL;DR: My windows service wasn’t installed properly. Change the config file to point the DB to an accessible directory and reinstall the service. When trying to build a perioduc Celery task, I got the following error with Redis on Windows (running as a windows service): redis.exceptions.ResponseError: MISCONF Redis is configured to save RDB snapshots, but […]
Run Celery 4.1.0 on Windows 10
TL;DR: Use set FORKED_BY_MULTIPROCESSING=1 on the worker script/shell When running Celery on Windows 10, I got the following error: ValueError: not enough values to unpack (expected 3, got 0) This is quite unfortunate as Windows is supported on “best effort”. A pull request has a change, but it’s not pretty to patch an installation. To […]
Use Docker Behind Proxy on Windows 8
The other day I had to install Docker at work, aka behind a corporate proxy (on Windows 8). While the docker installer is stand-alone and all is good, dealing with the VM is a different matter… The problem popped up when I tried to create a Django image and pip install failed miserably. To get […]
Check Computer Started without Admin Provileges
TL;DR: open the Event viewer, select the Windows Logs > System and Filter Current Log to the desired interval. Or you can scroll to the earliest entry of the day you need (more irritating because the event window doesn’t refresh when scrolling). The other day I needed to find out when an user logged in […]

Copy File from Local Desktop to Remote Resktop Connection
TL;DR: Drag-and-drop doesn’t work. Copy&paste does! Before yesterday, my way of moving files between my local desktop and a remote one using MS Remote Desktop Connection involved a 3rd party service like Dropbox or email. Then, a kind soul took pity on me and showed me the proper way. In his words: Drag and drop […]
Use Git Bash as Integrated Terminal in VS Code
TL;DR:: Install windows git to get bash and add “C:\\Program Files\\Git\\bin\\bash.exe” to “terminal.integrated.shell.windows” in VS Code’s user settings. As I’m trying my hand at developing a node application today, I’m getting frustrated by the Terminate batch job (Y/N) every time I need to restart a script: Since previously I was developing on linux/macOS, I’m used […]
Migrate Chromium and Keep all Settings
TL;DR: Backup App Data\Local\Chromium on your old machine, copy it to your new one and uncompress (in the same place), install Chromium, profit. With the migration to a new computer, I’ve managed to keep all my Chromium settings. The steps I did are the following: On the old computer Note the chromium version you’ve installed […]
Avoid Typing Password on Git Every Time on Windows
Today I’ve updated Android Studio and, when I wanted to fetch stuff from git, it failed (connection issues). Initially, I thought it was because I’m behind a proxy, but all proxy settings were working OK (unchanged, also command line worked just fine). Apparently, the git plugin doesn’t ask (anymore?) for a password… So, I need […]
