Night at L’Observatoire des Baronnies Provencales

GullCode

I had the chance to have a night at a space observatory in France. And luckily, there was not that much clouds. Here are the few photos of the site, the equipment, and a few last I made with their mounts.

The Team who was guiding us during the night was very kind and they drove us into the cosmos late in the night.
Not only they were good at explaining, they were also trying their best to make the visitors think by themselves before giving the correct answer.

An experience I recommend.

GIT and BitBucket

GullCode

Cloning a git repository from BitBucket can fail producing that kind of logs:

Clonage dans '.'...
remote: Counting objects: 7008, done.
remote: Compressing objects: 100% (5921/5921), done.
error: échec RPC ; curl 56 GnuTLS recv error (-110): La connexion TLS n’a pas été terminée correctement.
fetch-pack: unexpected disconnect while reading sideband packet
fatal: fin de fichier prématurée
fatal: échec de index-pack

Working solution was to force IPv4 with -4 option, like in the following example:

git clone -4 https://giturl.com/repo.git .

Adding proxy to MSYS2

GullCode

If you ever need to use a proxy when updating / installing packages in msys2 you’ll have to set the following environnement variables, and put them i.e in your .bash_profile :

# .bash_profile example
# Note: username and password have to be url encoded in case they contain special chars
export http_proxy=http://USERNAME:PASSWORD@proxy:port
# or like this if not user/password required
# export http_proxy=http://proxy:port
export https_proxy=$http_proxy
export ftp_proxy=$http_proxy
export rsync_proxy=$http_proxy
# if you need a proxy ignore list
export no_proxy="localhost,127.0.0.1,localaddr,.yourlocaldomain.ext,.local"
