Beware of Drupal's Radios FAPI empty handling

Did you ever switch a Drupal Form API element from "select" to "radios" and expect it would behave equally? You're wrong!
Here's (sadly) why...

lndo.site connection refused on WSL2 + Docker + Lando (+VMWare Workstation) - TCP Socket conflict

Encoding is hard in many cases. Today I ran into one, where we had to save UTF-8 data (from a Drupal website) into an XML document which requires ISO-8859-1 encoding.

We're using https://www.php.net/manual/de/class.domdocument.php for that, which seems to have some problems / flaws with such cases, as the following issues show:

LDAP query Synology NAS for all users of a group

20.07.2020 - 11:05

Well some experienced LDAP administrators may laugh, but it was quite hard for me, as LDAP "newbie" to find out how to get a list of all LDAP Group Members from my Synology DiskStation. So I'd like to share my experience and result.

My task was to get a list of all active users in my Synology LDAP which belong to a certain Group ("CEO").

WinSCP "Keep remote directory up to date" doesn't upload / work due to timestamp problems

If you should also encounter the problem that WinSCP's wonderful syncing / folder watch functionaity "Keep remote directory up to date" doesn't work correctly, first have a look here, also for troubleshooting: https://winscp.net/eng/docs/task_keep_up_to_date

I couldn't find a working fix for this, but I found a good workaround:

Some weeks ago I found the European Docker Hosting provider sloppy.io and I'm still impressed by the wonderful UI / UX to administer and run Docker containers online so simple.

As a fun project I tried to run a GitLab CE instance on Sloppy and after some drawbacks, I finally managed to run it!

Migrating ownCloud 10.4.1 to nextcloud 18 Odyssee

28.05.2020 - 19:55

Migrating ownCloud to nextcloud typically isn't that hard thank to the nextcloud developers who provide a user friendly migration script: https://nextcloud.com/migration/

Sadly at the moment the migration script only supports ownCloud migrations up to 10.0.x and not 10.x.
