On a remote PC it was another logon name that appeared by default… In that case I had to click on “Switch User”, then “Other User”, and finally enter my username and password. Very frustrating.

Lorsqu’on regarde ses fichiers de logs Apache (par exemple), on peut se retrouver face à des caractères dont l’encodage est bizarre… par exemple “là” donnera “l\xe0”. Pour afficher correctement les caractères dans votre console (en l’occurrence j’utilise Putty en encodage Latin1), il faut utiliser la commande suivante, trouvée sur StackOverflow : tailf /var/log/apache2/error.log | while […]

Microsoft essaie d’imposer son moteur de recherche, mais je continue à préférer Google…. Du coup quand Cortana sous Windows 10 nous redirige sur Bing, ça m’agace… Sous Firefox on peut utiliser l’extension Redirector puis appliquer les règles suivantes : Example URL : https://www.bing.com/search?q=*&* Include Pattern : https://www.bing.com/search?q=*&* Redirect To : https://www.google.de/#safe=off&q=$1 Pattern Type : Wildcard […]
