Django has had a setting for allowed hostnames for a while [1], but starting with the 1.5 release it was required [2] to set it. I'm not sure why I only started getting Invalid HTTP_HOST header emails after my upgrade to 1.6, but anyway, they started pouring in. It's a … more

So... I had to check my backups just to figure out how to mount my shares. How annoying is that? On Debian-based systems you need to install cifs-utils. more

I use reStructuredText on parts of this site to write HTML content. But as the main headers don't originate from the rst content I need to start with an h2 tag. It's just a matter of rtfm but here's a solution. more

Here's a little snippet for cache busting without abusing a query string which can lead to caching problems. The example below will rewrite paths like /css/foo_20130401-5.css to /path/to/static/css/foo.css on the static.example.com host. more

I thought that I had to dump specific columns from a table. In the end I needed to parse the resulting XML with a script anyway to convert it to CSV, but here is a reminder for myself (and maybe you): more

There were packages of salt 0.10.1 in backports but they were removed, and the only saltstack packages in Debian are now in unstable. However, building your own backport is quite easy. This assumes you have an up to date Debian squeeze install without any backported saltstack or other packages. Use … more

Update: See also http://kuttler.eu/code/wordpress-emergency-admin/ which is a little easier to use. Recently I had to update a site but didn't have an admin account or access to the SQL database. So I wrote this short script to reset a forgotten password. To use it, edit it and fill in the … more

Looking at the code I'm really not sure how it could have taken me more than one minute to figure this out.. but here's an example how to query for documents with a timestamp in the past. Your model's schema obviously needs a timestamp field of the Date type, and … more
