I’m just working in some Python code, and quite a lot of it has the “shebang” line for the Python interpreter set as an absolute path (such as /usr/bin/python) which won’t work for me as I need the scripts to use whichever version of Python I have configured in my “environment”: and the ideal way to do this is to call is using /usr/bin/env python – so how do I change these…
Richy's Random Ramblings
A few people have got a bit annoyed at the promotions/advertisements within their WHM webhosting control panel as developed by cPanel Inc (specifically, I saw the feature request “give server admins a way to turn off spam ads“).
Whilst cPanel partners (i.e. whoever your brought your cPanel licence from – usually your datacenter or web hosting provider) have the ability to toggle these cPanel Store Purchases from their cPanel Inc “manage2” interface, there is a way of disabling it yourself by “abusing” the internal testing code built into cPanel (specifically /usr/local/cpanel/Cpanel/Config/Sources.pm which is called by /usr/local/cpanel/Cpanel/Whostmgr/Store.pm which, in turn, is called by /usr/local/cpanel/Whostmgr/Store/Product/ImunifyAVPlus.pm ):
Due to changes in the way MariaDB has setup their Centos yum repositories, cPanel (at the time of writing) is unable to access the necessary files to upgrade people from MySQL to MariaDB (as it needs to do it in stages and MariaDB 10.0 is no longer available). Whilst the cPanel knowledgebase article entitled “Can’t upgrade from MySQL 5.6 to MariaDB” and cPanel have acknowledged it as an internal bug with the reference CPANEL-40434, they say there is “no workaround at this time”. This is incorrect! As I posted on their forums in the “One of the configured repositories failed (MariaDB106)” thread (unfortunately my post – 14 hours on – is still pending moderation), there is a reasonably quick fix server administrators can do. Here’s the full text of the post “just in case”: Since I’ve hit this problem on a new server migrating from MySQL to MariaDB (and my much earlier post about how to fix the general issue seems to have just expired rather than be approved), here’s what I did to fix it. Platform: Centos v7.9 on x64 – migrating from MySQL 5.7 to MariaDB 10.6 If you do not have /etc/yum.repos.d/MariaDB102.repo , start an upgrade to…
Bug Report: [WontFix] Monzo Export To Google Sheets fails for Advanced Protection Programme Accounts
In an effort to prove to myself that I am actually trying to do work this last month, I’m making a note of all the bugs in 3rd party software I find.
Today is a bug reported to Monzo Bank Ltd (referral link) on the 14th June 2022 where I, as a Plus customer, should have had the ability to export transactions to Google Sheets but was unable to do so due to my participation in Google’s Advanced Protection Programme. This issue was closed on the 16th of June basically say “can’t/won’t fix” 🙁

Today is a bug reported to cPanel Inc on the 11th June 2022 under their tracking request ID 94455138 which caused a nasty looking error message (and big log dumps in log files) in their WHM interface of their cPanel control panel suite when certain sections were accessed.
