Simple Steps for Work & To Prevent Issues

Image
Step 1: Keep Records Before I work on any project I have to make sure that there is CI in the project so I can pull up any of my work and point to it that it works. As well as have backups stored on devops from artifacts. Lately I've been have a tough time with team-mates not knowing how to resolve simple issues like nuget packages and project references. Step 2:  Don't loose stuff Merge down from where ever your going to create a pull-request from so you got the last. Merging down really what I do when managing stage, dev and master branches but I think I should start doing it with my own pull-requests just to be safe. Step 3: Only what you need Unless I'm doing a pull-request, always make sure what changes I'm making are only the ones I want to make. The boss keeps checking this and honestly its one feedback I've noticed I keep missing, mostly stuff like formatting thins I didnt need to, or forgetting stuff I added to test things.  Step 4: Squash me Daddy Since I

Managing Windows Services - Delete/Add

 First things first, lets delete cause that's super easy and before I delete anything I make sure to create backups. What I'm looking to do is expand a system like topshelf where it can just manage it remotely for me but using devops can be tricky. //delete command sc.exe delete <service name> or Ps way Remove-Service -Name "TestService" Note: curious about the registry but its better to use sc.exe. Now for adding sc create asperacentral binPath= "C:\Program Files\Aspera\Enterprise Server\bin\Debug\asperacentral.exe" DisplayName= "Aspera Central" start= auto

Ubuntu Server: Cmd line Network Shared folder for Windows

Image
 Got tired of using filezila to do everything so this morning I set things up with Samba to allow me to share. Just a few notes along with this video that I think might be helpful for other devs. commands sudo apt-get install -y samba sudo ufw allow 139 sudo ufw allow 445 sudo service smbd status sudo vi /etc/samba/smb.conf sudo chmod 777 shared_folder/ [guest] # This share allows anonymous (guest) access # without authentication! path = /shared_folder read only = no guest ok = yes guest only = yes I used the folder path at the root and probably will later add a user for security but for now I have what I need to get running. Doesnt seem as fast as filezilla but thats not a big deal.

Seems just trying to add a keyfob to a car isnt as easy as it should be. The driver seems to be limited to windows 7 and currently I am testing to see what I can do to just get it to work but warning for any and all links.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kVOn1S0poaI Dont Follow these links for safety reasons blog.obdii365.com/2021/05/12/free-download-toyota-techstream-v16-00-020-v16-00-017/ blog.obdii365.com/2019/08/06/install-and-activate-mini-vci-toyota-techstream-v14-20-019/ drive.google.com/drive/folders/1R9QPJoamgii2p4pgJFsltwgYC9ZUhpd7 mp3download.to/9en/WWCcINGIZJk.html toyota-4runner.org/general-discussions/216392-down-anyone-have-techstream-mvci-driver-toyota-cable-2-0-1-a.html ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php

Installing Windows on Acer chromebook 15 cb3-532

Much of my notes are just small problems I faced (what's new!) haha. Either way this was a really fun project to do for a friend and I got excited once I research all the information. You can find instruction videos but what helped me the most was the coolstar website. Sadly they don't have parameters in the url so I can link the machine I used in this article. -  https://coolstar.org/chromebook/windows-install.html Scared of messing with the bios? Don't be!    So you need to first remove the screw to put a legacy bios on the machine. Its easy to backup the chrome os one and with the same steps to change it. You can go back in and revert to the chrome version bios. Its that last part that had me worried and its very easy to do.  Problems getting into Developer Mode?   Follow the instructions to the letter, during the step to disable the OS verification, press Ctrl-D to boot into os. If you hear two beeps I would go back to set one. I got in a loop where it s

Editing Blogger Post on Github, Rough Draft

    This was an idea that came to me when I was looking at  haacked's blog  (awesome blog by the way!)  which is mostly built with  jekyll  site since he uses github to host his site. I'm not really a fan of jekyll, I won't lie never played around with it . If github hosted a  web server  in nodeJs I probably would just move my blog in a  heartbeat over to github completely  but for now I like having it on blogger.      Now I haven't implemented this but here is a rough idea what I would do to achieve it. I think the image is pretty detailed but to sum it up I would IFTTT to notify my application when a new post is  available and then create a commit to github and allow people to fork the blog's repository and then create edits. I've even started the repo here ...  Research Blogger JSON API: Using the API - Blogger — Google Developers http://jekyllrb.com/docs/posts/  - If I ever need to move my blog to github it would be good to know.
