    How to use TWRP to flash an Android device that refuses to boot to TWRP?

    Last Christmas holiday I was tasked by older relatives to fix an Android tablet they had bought. One of those absolutely useless, 100€ devices that can't really run any apps, and struggle to even start. My first proposition was to return the device - but it was already past the return window. Lenovo 's bloated nightmare version of an Android was likely the biggest reason for slowness.

    Azure Functions host quits with "The system cannot find the file specified"

    So, another interesting issue I ran into when developing Azure Functions locally. What an endless bag of funsies! 😁 This time, the issue was simple but infuriating - my Azure Functions host would just silently close when debugging: none of the breakpoints would be hit, and no information would be logged anywhere. Azure Functions Core Tools (2.4.432 Commit hash: 3371a87e0fce2aa35986c0de8e77d5d618163b91) Function Runtime Version: 2.0.12332.

    How to extract more information out of your Azure Functions host failing silently?

    I don't know about you, but it's happened to me a few times: fire up your Azure functions project, hit F5 to start debugging project builds without errors, Azure Functions host starts... And shuts down right away. This article has a few quick and simple tips on how to extract a bit more information from the Azure Functions host (func.exe) , when it's just silently failing. This means by default you won't get any information about what's going wrong.

    An easy fix for WordPress media uploads failing after a year/month change

    This article explains one possible fix to a situation, where your pictures in WordPress fail to show up. In this particular case, uploading, editing and even selecting pictures for your articles works - just displaying them doesn't work. Alternatively, programmatic access might fail as well: in my case, ShortPixel reported an error "There was an error and your request was not processed: Could not download the file (404 Not Found)".

    App Service refuses connections with error: "No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it"

    This blog post describes a very specific fix to a very specific issue. In a software project that consisted of a desktop client application and some APIs hosted on Azure, we ran into an error where some connections to APIs would fail with an error like this: No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it. What gives?
