DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN Docker windows 10

So you faced that your hosts doesnt loads up after launching Docker image as regular, right? 



For some reason, Docker adds 'his' section for hosts file under Windows/system32/drivers/etc/hosts file and ruins everything what was there before.

All you need to do is to add previously added hosts which you were using, like so:

127.0.0.1 your.local.development.domain.com

Save and close.

Now you are ready to go.

Fiverr deletes negative reviews

Be careful with fiverr reviews. 

Today I faced with negative review deletion. There are ability to delete negative reviews ( don't know which side, but fact that it is not there ).


Long story short: As reseller I ordered from service provider and asked for specific requests. The requests wasn't done ( Client - always right? yeah... right,... not on fiverr ). 

For the second order I insisted for requirements to be met., in result i was insulted and my site was chased and bad reviewed.


Another strange thing i noticed is that once i tried to access offer from service provider , it says "That seller is no longer available". But if you check the offer in incognito, you will see it perfectly without any problems... ( almost - sometimes fiverr crashes )





Anyway

In result if you had bad experience - its only your problem and fiverr doesn't wants to share the experience with other visitors - its bad for their reputation and money. Same as youtube's dislike button about to delete. Who wants bad thoughts when you can get only good ones....



p.s. Once we see all bad reviews on user thesibyl which insults clients, the post might be deleted.

Battlefield 1 on geforce now my experience


Why i write the post

I want to share my experience to attract EA managers and open their eyes about the experience there is on market.

Long story short

Bought bf1 on steam to play it on geforce now, but after several launches i can't play it , because EA 'shmesecurity' 'safes' me from hacks and doesn't allows me to sign in.

Long

I love battlefield 1 - played it on ps4 and paid for EA play just to play F. ONLINE ( multiplayer ). Anyway, i can understand that they 'needs the money to cover support and servers costs' ( while pc gamers doesn't needs hmmm.... ) . But story not about that...
Once ( 1 oct 2021 ) geforce published that bf1 available - I bought without discout bf1 on steam and played like 2-3 times ( different launches ). 
Playing it on GN is pretty good... ( has small 0.1 ms lag - but the lag is acceptable ). 
But after 3rd launch i got error "Too many connections to the version of battlefield on your account.... blah blah blah". 

I started to investigate and try to fix the problem. 

After searching Big brother i found posts from 2020 and even 2019 about same issue. People suggests to change password / add email verification / google verification app .
With big problems like:
1. no emails about verification from EA side comes. 
2. not working google authentication barcode
3. Stupid verification before each verification, after you already verificated into account...
i made verification "On".

So, i though that i have possibility that the problems ended. BUTTTTT....
After trying to sign in you will get stuck problems like "connecting to origin" window, or no coming emails from EA, or same "too many connections".

Supports

As mentioned before, even forums posts are from 2019-2020 - which means the problem ignored ( from EA side ). Created ticket ( waiting for reply - "not our problem - it's security from hax0rs - who uses single account with one purchased game for multiple pcs" )

Geforce support - "not our problem - EA problem" . While advertising the EA games in geforce community. In result they will have more reports about the problem in future ( stuck support - lower quality of support - lower money .... and so on.. )

Cloud gaming

As could gaming progresses , i think the companies must adapt and add functionalities to make experience better.

Simple ( geforce ips white listing ) could solve such simple problem.


p.s. Received emails 1-2 hours later. ( reason? i guess alot of users tries to sign in into game )



EDIT 2021.11.04

Recently noticed that I finally can open game multiple times per day. Possible some fixed was made from their sides. Thanks for them if so...

taskhost.exe what is ? camera access / internet access firewall blocked

 Today i faced the problem:

firewall blocked internet access for taskhostw.exe 

I tried to investigate what is it and why it wants internet access. 

After searching found some posts for asking same problem , but differently their exe tried to access camera, which triggered them to search for possible problem too.

In result i scanned pc with different malware cleaners with fixes as original dell autostarters and no other trojans as monero miners and so on..

I checked IP which was triggered to internet access - 51.104.136.2 . After checking 'IP 51.104.136.2' , it turns out it is microsoft azure servers.



For now i agreed to allow internet access, but turned off frequence to diagnostics to report in windows settings to "never"

BSOD etd.sys after install and reboot pc

Long story short.



After installing fresh windows, and first boot you install or not install anything on your pc, you restart pc and get blue screen of death with strange etd.sys message. 

I waste whole day for "solving" the problem. It's trick not solving.

Reason for the problem is that your touch pad is dead or connected in wrong way.

Hard way to fix that: 

  • unplug touchpad
  • fix touchpad
  • connect touchpad correct way
Easy way if your touch pad is dead for sure:

  1. Once you see repair screens , find commanad promt tab and open in
  2. Write commands to rename file: 
  3. Command 1: cd c:\windows\system32\drivers
  4. Command 2: ren etd.sys etd.sys.old
  5. now close promt window and restart pc
  6. once you see login window ( latests versions of windows asks  to create pin and forces you to enter the pin ) open from right bottom icons - "on screen keyboard" and press with mouse and enter your pin by pressing buttons with your mouse ( because that your keyboard will not work at  the moment ).
  7. Now navigate to c:\windows\system32\drivers\ and rename file back with mouse ( second mouse to open properties-> rename -> select bad naming of file and press cut )
  8. once it done, now you can reenable keyboard back . to do that -> go to "my pc" and go to properties ( second mouse button inside folder ) and select device manager.
  9. Disable / enable your keyboard under "keyboards" , try all.
  10. Now disable your touch pad under "mice and other pointing devices" ( mine was ELAN )
Solved.

Elastic search LTR plugin install


Elastic search plugin LTR install is first plugin i have installed for elastic. I had trouble to install it on Windows. So ill share exact steps to take so you could not waste time.

About LTR plugin

The Elasticsearch Learning to Rank plugin uses machine learning to improve search relevance ranking. It's powering search at places like Wikimedia Foundation and Snagajob!
  • Allows you to store features (Elasticsearch query templates) in Elasticsearch
  • Logs features scores (relevance scores) to create a training set for offline model development
  • Stores linear, xgboost, or ranklib ranking models in Elasticsearch that use features you've stored
  • Ranks search results using a stored model
  • Important

    * LTR plugin is build to exact Elastic version. For example: "ltr-1.1.0-es6.4.1.zip" is build for 6.4.1 elastic version. So first make sure you find correct versions.

    Plugins to download:
    http://es-learn-to-rank.labs.o19s.com/

    Elastic search to download / renew version:
    https://www.elastic.co/downloads/

    1. Renew elastic if required for versions to match
    2. Download plugin zip
    3. Open cmd.exe ( command prompt )
    4. Go to for example "C:\Elastic\6.4.1\bin"
    5. Run "elasticsearch-plugin.bat install file:///c:/Elastic/6.4.0/ltr-1.1.0-es6.4.1.zip" . Make sure you write 'file:///' before path. Else you might get error like "Exception in thread "main" java.net.MalformedURLException: unknown protocol: c".
    6. Done.

    Helpful

    Solution for Chrome USB debugging remote devices doesn't appear

    Today I was forced to inspect crashing chrome browser. To inspect that i needed to use desktop chrome.

    To do that there is pretty good tutorial: https://raygun.com/blog/debug-android-chrome/

    But after completing all steps. Nothing appeared in "remote devices" on desktop.

    After few hours i have found solution.

    To fix that:



    1. Download SDK Platform-Tools for Windows zip file. Extract..
    2. Launch cmd.exe ( command prompt ). 
    3. From extracted folder launch "C:\path_to_file\adb.exe devices" . You might get as i got - "List of devices attached: 9be86c14 unauthorized"
    4. Now unplug your phone and plug it back. 
    5. Check your phone that it allows PTP connection of USB debugging ( check raygun.com link ).
    6. Repeat #3 step - launch "adb.exe devices" command again. You might get same message in cmd.exe window. BUT now check your phone. There should be confirmation popup window for mac address. Accept that.
    7. Now just repeat same #3 step. As it shown from my screenshot i got success message "9a479b83 device".
    8. Done. Now you should be able to detect the device under "remote devices" in google chrome. 

    To inspect url on device:

    1. On device open chrome and open desired url
    2. On desktop open remote devices 
    3. Click device
    4. Near appeared list of "opened" tabs with shown urls find your "last one" and on right side click "inspect" button.
    5. Done.

    Happy debugging.

    Let me know if it helped you. Or write where you stuck and how you solved it, so other people could save time. Thanks.

    Elastic search FORBIDDEN/12/index read-only / allow delete



    You have faced the problem - on update index it doesnt changes and gives the error ? The error appears after your index is locked and changes to read only. Reason for that is because of not enough storage on your machine hard drive.

    Here what to do:

    1. Clean hard disk, because it has not enough space... Remove cache, Remove unused files and so on... find trash and just delete it... 
    2. Update elastic search cluster index settings with parameter ( 'index.blocks.read_only_allow_delete' => null - source: https://discuss.elastic.co/t/forbidden-12-index-read-only-allow-delete-api/126067/11 ) 
    3. Once you do previous steps, you will be able to make updates to index.
    Comment if it helped you. Else write comment what was different, so other visitors might find your comment useful.

    Left handed circular saws

    Two types of circular saws

    • Right handed circular saw -  blade on right side
    • Left handed circular saw - blade on left side
    Bosch
    Makita
    Dewalt
    Milwaukee

    I suggest to check reviews inside.

    Typical use of circular saws is when blade goes to side of your body. Righty holds main grip with right hand, aux grip with left and blade goes to right side. Opposite, lefties holds main grip with left hand, aux grip with right and blade goes to left side.


    Between arms

    So what about other method? How about holding right bladed saw's main grip with left hand and left bladed saw's main grip with right?

    You shouldn't cross your amrs while holding circular saw. On forums topic here. ToolGuyd explains how it happens:
    With a right-hand saw, your right hand is on the main grip, left hand on the aux grip, and blade is positioned to the right of all that. It's similar with a left-hand saw.
    But when a righty uses a left-handed saw, the right hand is on the main grip, left hand is on the aux handle, and your left arm crosses over the blade. The blade is aligned between your right hand and your body. Yes, the cut line is more visible, but it places the blade inside your arms, rather than outside.
    In such a position, if your left hand holds a workpiece and your right holds the main grip, you could in theory accidentally put the blade in contact with your left hand.


    Switching arms

    The Burb Billy in this video shows and shares his experience switching - arms https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ayZcdL5tLQw

    From his explanation the change has advantages:
    • You don't need to lean over
    • You see blade and cutting mark so you able to make perfect cut
    On other side appears disadvantages:
    • In this position you could in theory accidentally put the blade in contact with your hand ( as ToolGuyd says ).
    • Sawdust is thrown all over you, compared to having it on side, where it can be directed away more efficiently.

    I have contacted author to know how he feels after 3 years experience of using saw that way and here his reply:

    Being in the trades for years, safety is a huge thing for me, being safe has allowed me to keep all my fingers on my hands and my eyes still work as they were intended to. That said, when I use a saw I know that I need to keep my hands away from the blade. I would be more concerned about someone cutting a leg because they propped a board on their knee and then tried to cut it, or bringing their body around the saw to try and see the cut and getting themselves off balance right before the saw decides to kickback.

    I did a video a few years ago about saw horses and covered some of the safety tips I have developed over the years. Here is the link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l3J0AzDRwDM

    In my opinion, being able to comfortably see the blade far outweighs any safety gains or saw dust concerns. The saw dust blowback was never really that bad for me.

    Some carpenters like using the right handed saws and I grew up with that being the only saw around. But I am always looking for ways to improve my skill set and make my job easier. I feel that I found that in the left handed saw and have used it for years now with zero safety issues.

    Safety

    Very good safety video guide can be found here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dRau7aaR2c4 .

    Redirect loop on admin login WordPress [Solved]



    Once i faced the problem i googled and found some topics about the problem.


    Result of the discussion I found solutions which might help you in same cases.

    If you still haven't figured out how to skip the loop - add "index.php" in address bar after "youdomain.com/wp-admin/" ( In result you will get "http://www.yourdomain.com/wp-admin/index.php" ) . It will allow you to access normally wordpress admin page without loop.

    Solutions

    Method 1

    Check general settings ( settings -> general ). And make sure your addresses are same ( make them lowercase ).

    Method 2

    Go to Permalinks settings ( settings -> permalinks ) and change to plain.

    Method 3 ( My situation )

    None of first methods worked for me ( Method 1 was correct for me, and method 2 - i didn't wanted to change permalinks ). So i have checked code what is happening there... and noticed that index.php isn't loading on wp-admin/ ( which should.. ). So I have checked ".htaccess" file in dir ( and in root dir later ). And I found old code in .htaccess which ruined login process.

    I have removed everything but wordpress comment surounded code, saved and wuallia... everything worked.


    Let me know if it worked for you. Thanks for comment <3 p="">

    Windows doesn't detects my nokia lumia

    Ill tell you how i solved my problem with nokia lumia 930 and maybe it will help you.

    First of all i had nokia lumia 635 which worked as charm when i was connecting it to my laptop with windows. But i have changed my phone and now when i was connecting with another cabel which i found at home it was charging but not connecting so i could copy photos.

    After searching internet for help, I couldn't find any proper solution how to fix it. Mostly they offer to check devices and update drivers. But problem is that it doesn't show up there. So finally I have tried to change cabel i was using. And you know what? It worked... I was using cabel from my JBL sound system. I guess it supports only devices like that. For similar problems you might check this officia nokia lumia support page https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2749484 . It possible that you have only 1 left usb cabel, so i suggest to buy original nokia lumia cabels - Find cabel for your nokia lumia.

    Then devices showed up in my devices list I have tried to update drivers with simple "update drivers software". But no success... It says "Windows could not find driver software for your device.".

    Finally I found solution how to solve it but checking "Driver software installation" popup which shows up when you unplug and plugin your device. There was messages near each driver that It can't find drivers. But there was small button that says I can change settings where to check drivers. And I found out that my it doesn't searched for online windows update. So i have changed settings by simple checking checkbox - to search drivers with windows update. Saved settings; Unpluged device; Plugged in device and waited until drivers was found online with windows update.


    After few moments my phone appeared in my computer and I could access files in it.

    P.S. I suggest to set lock screen on your device to be without time limit. So it's screen be always turned on while you install your device, else it might not shown up on your computer too...

    Please "like" my article so it could shown up higher in search engine, so it could help other people to solve the problem.

    Also please write in comments if it worked for you or maybe i skipped some part which was not understandable for you - so write how to solve it, so other people might not have problem in that place.

    Thanks

    1. Install windows with 64 bit. ( Need one? get it from amazon )
    2. Other easier trick:

    SVN tortoise 64x Windows 8 modified files icons fix

    SVN windows 8 64x icons fix
    You might have issue with your SVN modified files after installing SVN on your machine. As i understood after few hours the main problem is in icon's handler ( Don't know why... ).
    I have noticed some comments about dropbox. Your might be same as me: I had installed dropbox before SVN. Because of this dropbox's icons appeared in regedit first.

    Anyways, i have tried many solutions with preferences, but none helped me out.

    Solution which helped me i have found here: http://www.sitepoint.com/missing-tortoisesvn-file-status-overlay-icons/

    The fix I’m about to describe involves tampering with the Windows registry. It’s dangerous and one false move could trash your Windows installation!

    All you need to do is delete several regeedit values in this path: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWARE/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/Explorer/ShellIconOverlayIdentifiers
    so it be in sum less or equals 11 values., else some of icons will be ignored.
    In my case I had dropbox icons first, so I left first 3 ones and one which I don't know why it's for with name - EnhancedStorageShell.

    After i removed values, Restarted windows. Done! Icons finally appeared.
