Could not create a new TFS project

Last week I had to create a new Team Project in Team Foundation Server. Easy job of course, until the project creation failed while adding a new Sharepoint site. In the error log, I found the following information:

The transaction log for database 'WSS_Content' is full. To find out why space in the log cannot be reused, see the log_reuse_wait_desc column in sys.databases" Query text (if available): "{?=call proc_CreateWeb(?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?)}

Aha, that’s a meaningful error message. I just had to shrink the transaction logs. I looked at one of my previous posts( Truncate your SQL Server Transaction Logs) and tried to execute the following statement inside SQL Server Management Studio:

   1:  USE WSS_Content_Log
   2:  GO     
   3:   
   4:  BACKUP LOG 'WSS_Content_Log' WITH TRUNCATE_ONLY
   5:   
   6:  DBCC SHRINKFILE('WSS_Content_Log', 1)


But strangely enough this command failed. Instead the following error message was returned:


‘truncate_only' is not a recognized BACKUP option.


I found out that this is no longer a supported command in SQL Server 2008. I had to remove the log chain by switching to simple recovery mode. I completed the job by executing this last command:

   1:  USE WSS_Content_Log
   2:  GO     
   3:   
   4:  DBCC SHRINKFILE('WSS_Content_Log', 1)

Podman– Command execution failed with exit code 125

After updating WSL on one of the developer machines, Podman failed to work. When we took a look through Podman Desktop, we noticed that Podman had stopped running and returned the following error message: Error: Command execution failed with exit code 125 Here are the steps we tried to fix the issue: We started by running podman info to get some extra details on what could be wrong: >podman info OS: windows/amd64 provider: wsl version: 5.3.1 Cannot connect to Podman. Please verify your connection to the Linux system using `podman system connection list`, or try `podman machine init` and `podman machine start` to manage a new Linux VM Error: unable to connect to Podman socket: failed to connect: dial tcp 127.0.0.1:2655: connectex: No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it. That makes sense as the podman VM was not running. Let’s check the VM: >podman machine list NAME         ...

Cleaner switch expressions with pattern matching in C#

Ever find yourself mapping multiple string values to the same result? Being a C# developer for a long time, I sometimes forget that the C# has evolved so I still dare to chain case labels or reach for a dictionary. Of course with pattern matching this is no longer necessary. With pattern matching, you can express things inline, declaratively, and with zero repetition. A small example I was working on a small script that should invoke different actions depending on the environment. As our developers were using different variations for the same environment e.g.  "tst" alongside "test" , "prd" alongside "prod" .  We asked to streamline this a long time ago, but as these things happen, we still see variations in the wild. This brought me to the following code that is a perfect example for pattern matching: The or keyword here is a logical pattern combinator , not a boolean operator. It matches if either of the specified pattern...
