Golang Go Get Postgres Error

Tue, 22 Feb 2022 06:00:00 +0700

You are dealing with error handling in Go when working with PostgreSQL using the pq package. The code you provided demonstrates two different ways to handle and extract error information from a pq.Error type.

Let’s break down both of these code snippets:

Using Type Assertion:

pqErr := err.(*pq.Error)
log.Println(pqErr.Code)

In this code, you are using a type assertion to check if the err is of type *pq.Error, and if it is, you extract the Code field from the pq.Error struct and log it. This approach assumes that err is a pq.Error type, and if it’s not, it will result in a runtime panic. So, it’s essential to be sure that err is indeed of type *pq.Error before using this approach.

Bash Shell Ignore Error on particular Command

Mon, 21 Feb 2022 06:00:00 +0700

In Bash scripting, you can use the || true construct to ignore errors for a particular command or script. This is a common technique used to ensure that a script continues executing even if a specific command fails. Here’s how it works:

particular_script || true

In this example, particular_script is the command or script that you want to run, and || true is added at the end of the command. The || operator is used for conditional execution. It means that if particular_script fails (returns a non-zero exit status), the true command will always execute, effectively ignoring the error and allowing the script to continue running.

Bash Script to Get the Directory of the Script File

Thu, 17 Feb 2022 06:00:00 +0700

In Bash scripting, it’s often useful to determine the directory where the script file is located. This can be particularly important if your script needs to access other files or resources relative to its own location. Here’s a Bash script snippet that accomplishes this task:

#!/bin/bash

# Get the directory of the script file
SCRIPT_DIR=$(cd -- "$(dirname -- "${BASH_SOURCE[0]}")" &> /dev/null && pwd)

# Check if SCRIPT_DIR is empty or not
if [ -z "$SCRIPT_DIR" ]; then
  echo "Failed to determine the script directory."
  exit 1
fi

# Now, you can use SCRIPT_DIR for your operations
echo "The script is located in the directory: $SCRIPT_DIR"

Here’s a breakdown of what this script does:

Shell Bash Check If Environment Exist

Tue, 15 Feb 2022 06:00:00 +0700

Your provided code snippet appears to be a Bash script that checks if the TARGET_PATH environment variable is empty and, if so, sets it to ~/go by appending an export statement to the .bashrc file. This is a common technique to ensure that environment variables are set with default values if they are not already defined.

Here’s a breakdown of what the code does:

if [[ -z "${TARGET_PATH}" ]]; then: This line checks if the TARGET_PATH environment variable is empty (i.e., its value is not set). The -z flag is used to test if a string is empty.

Shell Bash Check PATH environment exist

Tue, 15 Feb 2022 06:00:00 +0700

Separating Business Model and Logic Ensuring SRP in Car Class Design

Mon, 14 Feb 2022 21:32:58 +0700

In software architecture, adhering to the Single Responsibility Principle (SRP) is crucial to maintaining clean, modular, and maintainable code. One common mistake is merging business models with business logic, leading to unnecessary dependencies and reduced scalability. This article explores how to properly separate these concerns using an MVC-based approach for a Car class and its related components.

Issue: Business Model Breaking SRP

A Car class should represent a data model rather than handle business logic or external service interactions. However, integrating dependencies like IFileSystemService into the Car class blurs the lines between the model and the business logic, leading to tightly coupled code that is harder to maintain and extend.

How To Remove generated license file webpack

Sun, 09 Jan 2022 06:00:00 +0700

It appears that you want to remove the generation of license comments in your webpack bundle. To achieve this, you can set the extractComments option of the TerserPlugin to false. This will prevent the plugin from extracting and adding license comments to your bundle. Here’s how you can modify your webpack configuration:

const path = require('path');
const TerserPlugin = require('terser-webpack-plugin');

module.exports = {
   optimization: {
      minimize: true,
      minimizer: [
         new TerserPlugin({
            extractComments: false, // Set this option to false
         }),
      ],
   },
   entry: './web/src/js/main.js',
   output: {
      filename: 'bundle.js',
      path: path.resolve(__dirname, 'web', 'static', 'assets', 'js'),
   }
};

By setting extractComments to false, the TerserPlugin will not include license comments in your minified bundle. This should help you achieve your goal of removing the generated license file from your webpack output.

Automate Your VirtualBox VMs with Autostart

Fri, 08 Oct 2021 18:23:23 +0700

This guide will walk you through setting up a system service to automatically launch your desired VirtualBox VMs, saving you precious time and effort.

Configure Autostart Properties

Create a file named autostart.properties in the folder C:\Users\Admin\.VirtualBox.
Inside the file, define the following:

default_policy = deny
Admin = {
    allow = true
    startup_delay = 10
}

default_policy = deny: This sets the default policy to deny all autostarts.
Admin = { allow = true; startup_delay = 10 }: This allows the user “Admin” to start VMs with a 10-second delay.

Set System Variable

Create a new system variable named VBOXAUTOSTART_CONFIG and set its value to C:\Users\Admin\.VirtualBox\autostart.properties.

Install the VirtualBox Autostart Service

Navigate to the VirtualBox installation directory: cd "C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox"
Run the following commands:

.\VBoxAutostartSvc.exe install --user=Admin
.\VBoxManage.exe modifyvm "virtual-pc" --autostart-enabled on

Replace "virtual-pc" with the actual name of your VM you want to autostart.

Check and Start the Service

Use the sc command to check the service status: sc query VBoxAutostartSvcadmin-pcadmin
Start the service: sc start VirtualBox Autostart Service VBoxAutostartSvcadmin-pcadmin

Congratulations! Your VirtualBox VM is now set to autostart when your system boots.

How to Sync with Rsync but Ignore .DS_Store Files

Sat, 10 Apr 2021 06:00:00 +0700

Rsync is a powerful command-line tool for synchronizing files and directories between two locations. However, when syncing macOS files to another location, you may encounter pesky .DS_Store files, which are hidden metadata files created by the Finder. To exclude these files from your rsync operation, you can use the --exclude flag. Below is an example of how to sync files while ignoring .DS_Store files:

### Command Explanation

Let's break down the command step by step:

- `rsync`: This is the command itself.
- `--force`: This option tells rsync to overwrite files without asking for confirmation.
- `-ahviP`: These are a combination of options:
  - `-a`: Archive mode, which preserves various attributes of files and directories.
  - `-h`: Output numbers in a human-readable format (e.g., 1K, 2M).
  - `-v`: Verbose mode, which displays detailed information about the sync process.
  - `-i`: Itemize changes, displaying a summary of the changes made.
  - `-P`: Equivalent to `--partial --progress`, it keeps partially transferred files and shows progress during transfer.
- `--exclude '.DS_Store'`: This flag tells rsync to exclude any file or directory named `.DS_Store`.
- `--delete`: This option deletes files in the destination that are not present in the source. Be cautious with this option as it can result in data loss if not used carefully.
- `/Users/dimas/Vaults/Photos/`: This is the source directory you want to sync.
- `/Volumes/example/Photos/`: This is the destination directory where you want to sync the files.

### Usage Notes

1. **Source and Destination Paths**: Make sure to replace `/Users/dimas/Vaults/Photos/` and `/Volumes/example/Photos/` with your actual source and destination paths.

2. **Be Careful with --delete**: The `--delete` option can remove files in the destination that are not in the source. Use it with caution to avoid unintentional data loss.

3. **Backup**: Before running any rsync command with the `--delete` option, ensure you have a backup of your data in case something goes wrong.

4. **Hidden Files**: `.DS_Store` files are just one example of hidden files on macOS. You can use the same `--exclude` flag to exclude other hidden files or directories if needed.

With this command, you can effectively synchronize your files and directories while excluding `.DS_Store` files, keeping your destination directory clean and clutter-free.

Feel free to customize the command according to your specific needs, such as excluding other hidden files or directories or adjusting the sync options to suit your preferences.

Storing GIT Credentials Locally

Mon, 29 Mar 2021 06:00:00 +0700

When working with Git repositories, it’s often convenient to store your credentials locally to avoid repeatedly entering your username and password or personal access token. Git provides several methods for managing credentials, including caching and using credential helpers. Here, we’ll discuss how to store Git credentials locally on different operating systems and how to set a token for each project folder.

Storing Git Credentials Locally

On Linux

To store Git credentials locally on a Linux system, you can use the git config command with the credential.helper setting set to cache. This will cache your credentials for a specified period, typically 15 minutes, before requiring you to re-enter them.

Understanding Command Line Syntax

Mon, 29 Mar 2021 06:00:00 +0700

When working with command line interfaces (CLI), it’s essential to understand the syntax and formatting used to create and execute commands. The command line syntax can include special characters and conventions that dictate how commands should be structured and what elements are required or optional. Let’s break down the common command line syntax elements using examples from both a general explanation and a specific CLI usage sample.

Command Line Syntax Elements

Square Brackets [ ]

The square brackets ( [ ] ) in command line syntax indicate that the enclosed element, which can be a parameter, value, or information, is optional. Users have the choice to include one or more items within the square brackets or omit them entirely. It’s important not to type the square brackets themselves in the actual command line.

List SSH Config Host

Sun, 28 Mar 2021 06:00:00 +0700

In SSH configuration files, you can define multiple hosts with different settings. To list all the defined hosts in your SSH config file using the sed command, you can use the following command:

```bash
sed -n '/^#/!s/Host //p' ~/.ssh/config


Here's what this command does:

- `sed` is a stream editor for filtering and transforming text.
- `-n` tells `sed` to suppress automatic printing.
- `/^#/!s/Host //p` is a `sed` expression:
  - `/^#/` matches lines that start with `#`, which are comments in the SSH config file.
  - `!` negates the match, so it selects lines that do not start with `#`.
  - `s/Host //` replaces the word "Host" with an empty string, effectively removing it from the line.
  - `p` instructs `sed` to print the modified lines.

When you run this command, it will display a list of host names defined in your SSH config file, excluding any commented-out entries. This can be useful to quickly see the configured hosts on your system.

SSH Proxy Jump: Simplifying Secure SSH Connections

Thu, 25 Mar 2021 06:00:00 +0700

How to Restore Deleted or Broken Apple Notes on Mac

Wed, 08 Jul 2020 06:00:00 +0700

If you’ve accidentally deleted or encountered issues with your Apple Notes on your Mac, don’t worry; there’s a way to restore them. Apple Notes are not always stored in the obvious location, so follow these steps to recover your lost text or notes:

Note: Before proceeding, make sure you have a Time Machine (TM) backup of your Mac, as this method relies on it.

1. Quit the Notes App and Disconnect from the Internet

First, close the Notes app if it’s open.
Turn off your Wi-Fi or disconnect from the Internet to prevent your old notes from syncing during the restoration process.

2. Locate the Apple Notes Folder

Your iCloud notes are not stored in the typical ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.Notes location.
Instead, navigate to ~/Library/Group Containers/group.com.apple.notes. This is where your iCloud-synced notes are stored.

3. Create a Backup of the Notes Folder

Copy the group.com.apple.notes folder to a safe location, like your Desktop. This step ensures that you have a backup of your current notes configuration.

4. Restore the Notes Folder from Time Machine Backup

Access your Time Machine backup system.
Locate and restore the group.com.apple.notes folder to its original location, ~/Library/Group Containers/. This will revert your Notes app to a previous state where your lost notes should be available.

5. Open the Notes App

Docker Port Still Open Despite UFW Blocking

Sun, 25 Aug 2019 20:17:30 +0700

In some cases, users have reported issues where Docker containers continue to have open ports even after configuring the Uncomplicated Firewall (UFW) to block them. This can be a frustrating experience, but there are a few potential solutions to investigate.

1. Using 127.0.0.1 as the Host IP

One possible cause for this issue is the configuration of the Docker container’s network settings. By default, Docker containers run in their own isolated network environment, separate from the host machine. When specifying a port in the format 127.0.0.1:12100 in your Docker Compose .env file, you are binding the container port to the loopback interface on the container itself, rather than the host machine. Consequently, UFW might not have any control over this loopback interface.

Customizing Tmux Behavior and SSH Banner Display

Mon, 19 Aug 2019 06:00:00 +0700

Tmux is a versatile terminal multiplexer that allows you to manage multiple terminal sessions within a single window. Additionally, you can customize Tmux behavior to suit your preferences and automate tasks. This article presents a collection of Bash scripts designed to customize Tmux behavior and display an SSH banner when starting Tmux. Let’s explore each script’s purpose and functionality.

if [[ -z "$TMUX" ]]; then
    tmux has-session &> /dev/null
    if [ $? -eq 1 ]; then
        shopt -q login_shell && exec tmux new
        exit
    else
        shopt -q login_shell && exec tmux attach
        exit
    fi
else
    TMUX_WINDOW=$(tmux display-message -p '#{session_windows}')
    if [ $TMUX_WINDOW == "1" ]; then
        shopt -q login_shell && run-parts /etc/update-motd.d/
    fi
fi

This script is designed to display an SSH banner when starting Tmux. It checks whether the TMUX environment variable is empty, which indicates that Tmux is not currently running. If Tmux is not running and the current shell is a login shell, it starts a new Tmux session. If Tmux is already running, it attaches to the existing session. If there’s only one window in the Tmux session, the script runs the /etc/update-motd.d/ script to show a message of the day for SSH sessions.

To create a tar archive of a folder, use the tar -cvpf command:

Compress Each Folder with one archive if archive is not exist

Sun, 03 Mar 2019 06:00:00 +0700

The provided command is a shell script written in Bash that iterates through directories in the current directory, checks if an archive file (.tar.gz) already exists for each directory, and if not, it creates a compressed archive of the directory using the tar command.

Here’s an explanation of what the script does:

for dir in `find . -maxdepth 1 -type d  | grep -v "^\.$" `; do
    if ! [ -e ${dir}.tar.gz ] ; then
        tar -cvzf ${dir}.tar.gz ${dir}
    fi
done

for dir in find . -maxdepth 1 -type d | grep -v “^.$” ; do: This line starts a loop that iterates through all subdirectories (excluding the current directory) in the current directory.

Delete Except Newest Files Bash

Sun, 03 Mar 2019 06:00:00 +0700

The provided Bash commands are useful for listing and deleting files, including dotfiles, except for the newest ones. Here’s a breakdown of what each command does:

List all files except the newest three:

ls -t | tail -n +4

ls -t: Lists all files in the current directory sorted by modification time in descending order (newest first).
tail -n +4: Displays all lines starting from the fourth line. In this context, it shows all files except the newest three.

Delete those files:

ls -t | tail -n +4 | xargs rm --

xargs: Takes the output from the previous command (the list of files to delete) and passes them as arguments to the rm (remove) command.
rm --: Deletes the specified files.

List all dotfiles except the newest three:

ls -At | tail -n +4

ls -At: Lists all files, including dotfiles, sorted by modification time in descending order.
tail -n +4: Displays all lines starting from the fourth line. It shows all dotfiles except the newest three.

Delete dotfiles:

ls -At | tail -n +4 | xargs rm --

xargs: Takes the output from the previous command (the list of dotfiles to delete) and passes them as arguments to the rm (remove) command.
rm --: Deletes the specified dotfiles.

It’s important to use these commands with caution, especially the ones that involve deletion (xargs rm --). Deleting files is irreversible, and there’s no easy way to recover them if you make a mistake. Make sure you’re in the correct directory and that you are certain about the files you want to delete before running these commands.

How To Write Awesome User Stories

Tue, 05 Jun 2018 10:25:32 +0700

In Software engineering, requirements gathering has multiple techniques. User stories are one of the most popular techniques in agile development. It’s a way to document stakeholders’ requirements in an informal manner. The primary focus of a user story is talking about requirements value rather than writing a detailed specification of each functionality. Basically, a user story is a short statement mentioning the potential value that a specific stakeholder believes he/she would achieve from the solution/system. In addition, user stories are always complemented with Acceptance Criteria. Those criteria verify that the proposed designed solution is meeting the stakeholders’ objectives.

docker run: This command starts a new Docker container.
-it: This flag enables an interactive terminal session.
--rm: This flag removes the container when it exits.
--name certbot: Specifies the name of the container as “certbot.”
-v: This flag mounts volumes from the host to the container. You are mounting the following directories:
- "/root/docker-composes/server/apache/letsencrypt" to "/etc/letsencrypt" inside the container.
- "/var/lib/letsencrypt" to "/var/lib/letsencrypt" inside the container.
- "/var/www/html" to "/var/www/html" inside the container.
certbot/certbot: Specifies the Docker image to use, which is the Certbot image.
--manual: Indicates that you want to perform manual DNS challenges to prove domain ownership.
--preferred-challenges dns: Specifies that you prefer DNS challenges for domain verification.
certonly: Instructs Certbot to obtain certificates without installing them.
--server https://acme-v02.api.letsencrypt.org/directory: Sets the Let’s Encrypt ACME server’s URL for certificate issuance.

Creating/Renewing a Certonly Certificate

certbot certonly --webroot -w /var/www/html/ -d example.com

certbot certonly: This command tells Certbot to obtain a certificate without installing it.
--webroot: Specifies the webroot plugin for authentication and authorization.
-w /var/www/html/: Specifies the webroot path where Certbot should place challenge files.
-d example.com: Specifies the domain (example.com in this case) for which you want to obtain or renew the certificate.

These commands allow you to request a wildcard SSL certificate and create or renew a standard SSL certificate using Certbot in a Docker container. Make sure to replace “example.com” with your actual domain name when running the second command.

Locate the “sshd_config” file in the etc directory. The full path should be something like C:\cygwin64\etc\sshd_config.
Open the “sshd_config” file using a text editor (e.g., Notepad++).
Look for the “StrictModes” option and set it to “no.” This allows more relaxed permission checking for the authorized_keys file.
Save the changes and close the text editor.

Step 2: Generate SSH Key Pair

If you haven’t already done so, generate an SSH key pair on the client machine using the “ssh-keygen” command. Make sure to choose a strong passphrase to protect your private key.
By default, the key pair will be saved in the “.ssh” directory in the user’s home directory (e.g., C:\Users\YourUsername.ssh).

Step 3: Copy Public Key to Cygwin Server

In the Cygwin terminal, navigate to the user’s home directory (e.g., cd ~).
Create the “.ssh” directory if it doesn’t exist: mkdir .ssh
Use the “scp” command to copy the public key to the Cygwin server: scp <public_key_file> user@server:/home/user/.ssh/authorized_keys Replace “<public_key_file>” with the path to your public key file. Replace “user” with your username on the Cygwin server. Replace “server” with the hostname or IP address of the Cygwin server.

Step 4: Restart SSHD Service

In the Cygwin terminal, run the following command to restart the sshd service: net stop sshd && net start sshd

Step 5: Test SSH Connection

On the client machine, open a new terminal or command prompt.
Run the following command to connect to the Cygwin server using SSH: ssh user@server Replace “user” with your username on the Cygwin server. Replace “server” with the hostname or IP address of the Cygwin server.
If the connection is successful and prompts for the passphrase, enter the passphrase associated with your private key.

Conclusion

By following the troubleshooting steps outlined in this blog post, you should be able to connect to the Cygwin sshd server using public key authentication. Remember to ensure that the “StrictModes” option in the sshd_config file is set to “no” to allow more flexible permission checking for the authorized_keys file. Generating an SSH key pair, copying the public key to the Cygwin server, and restarting the sshd service are critical steps in establishing a successful SSH connection.

Add Command Line Interface (CLI) Args On PhantomJS

Wed, 16 Dec 2015 06:00:00 +0700

To add a command-line interface (CLI) and command-line arguments (args) to PhantomJS when using Selenium WebDriver in Node.js, you can modify your existing code as follows. I’ll provide you with a step-by-step guide and also explain the changes made:

const webdriver = require('selenium-webdriver');
const { Builder } = webdriver;
const phantomjs = require('phantomjs-prebuilt');

// Define your PhantomJS command-line arguments here
const phantomjsArgs = [
  '--load-images=false',
  // Add any other arguments you need here
];

// Set up capabilities with the CLI arguments
const capabilities = webdriver.Capabilities.phantomjs();
capabilities.set('phantomjs.cli.args', phantomjsArgs);

// Set the path to the PhantomJS executable
const phantomjsPath = phantomjs.path;
capabilities.set('phantomjs.binary.path', phantomjsPath);

// Create a WebDriver instance with the configured capabilities
const driver = new Builder()
  .withCapabilities(capabilities)
  .build();

// Example usage: navigate to a webpage
driver.get('https://example.com')
  .then(() => {
    console.log('Page title:', driver.getTitle());
  })
  .catch(error => {
    console.error('Error:', error);
  });

// Don't forget to quit the driver when done
driver.quit();

Here are the changes made to your original code:

Certainly! To update a cron task and customize the email sent from it, you can use the following command with the <CRON COMMAND> replaced by your actual command:

<CRON COMMAND> | mail -E -s "Subject" -r "CUSTOM FORM NAME <user@mail.com>"

This command will execute <CRON COMMAND> and send the output as an email with the specified subject and sender address.

Here’s a breakdown of the command:

<CRON COMMAND>: Replace this with the actual command you want to run on a schedule using cron.

Silence Result Of Command

Tue, 15 Dec 2015 06:00:00 +0700

When you want to silence the result of a command in a Unix-like shell environment, you can use the > /dev/null or 2> /dev/null redirection techniques, depending on whether you want to suppress standard output (stdout) or standard error (stderr) respectively. Here’s how you can use them:

To silence standard output (stdout) of a command, use > /dev/null:
```
command > /dev/null
```
This will discard the normal output of the command.
To silence standard error (stderr) of a command, use 2> /dev/null:

Bash Configurations Demystified

Fri, 20 Nov 2015 06:00:00 +0700

Bash configurations on Linux and macOS can be confusing for many people, myself included. I’ve written this short guide to remind you and me both of a reasonable set of conventions you could follow.

When logging in via the console (e.g., an SSH session, the scary console login after you’ve messed up your GUI settings, etc.), you are starting a login shell. If you open a terminal application (e.g., xterm, etc.) from your desktop, then you are starting a non-login shell (except on macOS, discussed later).

Using The Mouse For Vim In An Xterm

Thu, 19 Nov 2015 06:00:00 +0700

If you prefer working in an xterm rather than the GUI version of Vim, you might encounter some inconveniences. One common issue is copying text from Vim within the xterm, which includes line numbers. The GUI version of Vim handles this better, as it selects only the text, leaving out the line numbers. However, you can achieve similar functionality in the xterm version of Vim by adding the following line to your vimrc:

Bower Default Bower Components Suddenly Changed To Src Vendor

Sat, 05 Sep 2015 06:00:00 +0700

If you’ve suddenly noticed that the default Bower directory bower_components has changed to src/vendor in your project, there could be a few reasons for this unexpected behavior. One common reason is the presence of a .bowerrc file in your project’s parent directory, which might be overriding the default configuration. Here’s how you can resolve this issue:

Step 1: Check for `.bowerrc` Files

First, navigate to your project’s root directory and its parent directories to check for any .bowerrc files. These files can contain Bower configuration settings that override the defaults. You may have one in the project root or in any parent directories.

Routing Forward IP

Sun, 03 May 2015 06:00:00 +0700

It looks like you’re configuring some iptables rules for routing and forwarding traffic between two networks with specific IP address ranges. These rules are designed to allow traffic to flow between the “wi.red.net.work” network and the “wire.less.net.work” network through two interfaces, “eth0” and “wlan0.”

Here’s a breakdown of the rules you’ve provided:

The first rule:
```
iptables -I FORWARD -i eth0 -o wlan0 -s wi.red.net.work/24 -d wire.less.net.work/24 -j ACCEPT
```
This rule allows traffic coming from the “wi.red.net.work” network (source) going to the “wire.less.net.work” network (destination) to be forwarded from the “eth0” interface to the “wlan0” interface. The -j ACCEPT part at the end indicates that this traffic should be accepted and forwarded.
