In this article I will show you how to create and set up a syslog-ng in docker container and redirect logs from another container to it.
You should have already a running docker set up. If you do not know how to do that, do a search on this page as I have created several articles for it. Also, web is full of it.

On a Macbook pro with Retina display you cannot get to native resolution in the system settings.
For example, on Macbook Pro 16 inch, the native resolution is 3072x1920 but the maximum available scaled resolution is 2048x1280. The reason is on the native resolution everything looks very tiny on this small screen.
Of course, this doesn't mean you cannot get to that resolution.

Let's say you are in my situation: you have bought recently a new mac, with Catalina (10.15) and you are switching from an older one that was supporting only High Sierra (10.13).

And you get this error when trying to do sudo port selfupdate.

How to start services in certain order with Systemd?
Have been reading a bunch of documentation to figure this one out.
By the way, this also includes the SysV startup scripts (which are called by systemd).

So, in this below example (real situation), I have Docker that needs ocfs2 filesystem which runs on top of DRBD.
Default startup configuration was not quite ok because docker almost always started first and ocfs2 was started in the same time with drbd and failed to mount the ocfs2 filesystem.

Ever wonder how to connect via ssh to a windows machine?
Of course there are other ways but I like this one better because it allows you to access the most powerful tool ever created for Windows: cygwin :)
So, here we go.

1. Run cygwin as administrator

Right click on the cygwin icon and select "Run as administrator".

If your DNS server no longer resolves non-authoritative queries (e.g. not your domains but yahoo.com or whatever.org) and you see this error in named logs:

If you need (as I do) multitab support in mintty, you can have it with the help of ... wait for it ... SCREEN!
It was always there but I haven't got this brilliant idea to use it.
Also, do not get fulled about the title as this works in any linux like environment.

Even if this tutorial includes only Linux, at least part of it may work on other UNIX like operating systems. You are free to test but as a golden rule: test it on TEST environment :).

I use Maintenance app to do some checks and cache cleanup from time to time. Today I got a message that my disk should be checked and repaired while in recovery.
So I did and I was surprised to find out this error while checking/repairing /: snap_metadata_val object: invalid extentref_tree_oid

Apparently this is related to local snapshots of time machine and one of them is in weird state indeed:

There are situations where you need to expose docker cli via a tcp port. For example when you use management tools like portainer.

On debian with systemd (stretch for example)

You need to add to ExecStart in /lib/systemd/system/docker.service: -H IP:2375:
