  How to fix "exec user process caused: no such file or directory" in Docker on Windows?

  Another one in the series of "random things that break when you try to run Docker on Windows"! I was just minding my own business, trying to run an Azure IoT Edge custom module - a Docker container, really - locally, when suddenly everything broke and one of my Docker containers wouldn't run anymore, which broke the rest of my stuff pretty badly. Instead, it failed with a cryptic and surprising error "exec user process caused: no such file or directory" .

  How to run EF Core commands when your entities are in a different project from your dbcontext?

  This article explains how to achieve that nice configuration where you can reuse your .NET EF Core (Entity Framework Core) entities in different projects - even being separate from the project holding your DbContexts! You might want to do this if you have a common data model between a number of very different projects - but you will still need to have a way to add new migrations, apply the current ones to a database or possibly remove deprecated migrations.

  How to run SQL commands in a Postgre SQL Docker container?

  This article will explain how to run your arbitrary SQL commands against a Postgre SQL database running in a Docker container in Windows. That should be super simple, but since I never remember anything like this by heart, I had to google it - and turns out, either I didn't know how to google this properly or people haven't bothered to document this. So, let's fix that. But first, why did I need to do this, again?

  How to modify CORS settings using a .htaccess file

  Recently, I needed to host a web-based thingamajiggy in WordPress and needed to include a couple of custom libraries. For the sake of quick iteration, I decided to use a public FTP folder that I already had on the same server in order to host this. So I had configured a subdomain to host the files, and wanted to reference them from my WordPress site. Not quite a CDN, but something a little bit like that. Well, of course, I ran into an issue again.

  How to solve Vmmem consuming ungodly amounts of RAM when running WSL?

  This was another (luckily pretty shallow) rabbit hole down some corporate IT and weird default configurations by our favorite tech-daddy Microsoft. In this article, I will describe one possible reason for a process called Vmmem.exe consuming enough RAM to crash pretty much everything else running on your machine. But let's take a step back first - what happened?
