The Sequel to The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild Delay

Nintendo just announced a delay for the launch window of The Sequel to The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. The game is now expected to release in Spring of 2023 after previously being announced to release in 2022.

I am not at all surprised by this to be honest. Back at E3 2021 when the release window of 2022 was announced I confidently said that I believe there will be a delay. Nintendo’s 2022 is already pretty packed and we still know next to nothing about this game so it was hard for me to believe they would really make a 2022 release date.

Regardless I am still excited for the game. It is very rare for me to complain about a delay since I will always prefer a polished experience over a rushed game.

GitHub Outage

Today I may have killed GitHub. Not really but it’s a funny coincidence.

I was working on something and after I committed my changes and pushing I noticed that the dev branch was ahead of my feature branch and there were now some merge conflicts.

I quickly rebased my feature branch but when trying to push the changes all of a sudden I got the following message:

“Weird”, I thought. I have gotten my pushes rejected before but not with this ominous “Internal Server Error” message. I thought I messed up something and GitHub couldn’t process my changes.

So I thought around and tried some other things, even reverting the other changes to force my rebase but nothing worked. I googled around and couldn’t quite find any answer until I took to everybody’s least favorite social media platform Twitter, saw that “GitHub” was trending and found this tweet. It wasn’t just me and GitHub had a partial outage.

How weird of a coincidence it is that this happens just as I want to push something. Today was also the day I moved a project with a full CI/CD pipeline to GitHub Actions for the first time. The stars just aligned, I guess.

Fix for WSL2 docker-credential-desktop.exe: Invalid argument

I just ran into a weird error with WSL after moving a workspace around on a different machine and trying to run ddev.

failed to solve with frontend dockerfile.v0: failed to build LLB: failed to load cache key: rpc error: code = Unknown desc = error getting credentials - err: exec: “docker-credential-desktop.exe”: executable file not found in $PATH, out: ``

When trying to invoke the “docker-credential-desktop.exe” from WSL (by building a Docker image or trying to run ddev for example) I always got a “Invalid argument” error. After a bit of trying around I found this message on the Docker forums which actually fixed the problem for me.

Edit the ~/.docker/config.json file:

nano ~/.docker/config.json

It should display something similar to this:

{
  "credsStore": "desktop.exe"
}

Change “credsStore” to “credStore” like this:

{
  "credStore": "desktop.exe"
}

I have no idea why this works or why this is a thing, but I would like to preserve this solution here in case it happens to me again or somebody else runs into this same problem.

I was able to run ddev normally afterwards.
