Shields.io for Google's PageSpeed Insight

     This was an idea I had for some upcoming projects I'm working and it includes the use of shields.io to display important information on the quality of the front-end code. Also to give to give an idea of what's on a production server. This would really work for projects where the code was mostly open-sourced. Users could get a glance before hand of the boilerplate/template for particular project and know the quality it has. I did start to write out some code to do this and currently the only approach I have is using it via Google's API service which requires an API key. Below is the api request and the parameters need, from there all one needs to do is hook up, the three fields in shields.io and return the appropriate svg. 


API:
https://www.googleapis.com/pagespeedonline/v2/runPagespeed?url=http%3A%2F%2F{WWW.EXAMPLE.COM}&strategy={desktop||mobile}&fields=ruleGroups&key={YOUR_API_KEY}





A Difference in Implementation

     Be aware there is a nodeJs project using PageSpeed Insight locally but I think there are just as many cases for this approach that could be useful. It all depends on how you are trying to market you project on github. If you think people will contribute or reuse your production code, this may come in handy. Or you can just keep it as a scoreboard haha.

Mongodb Cheatsheet 





















 This cheat sheet is based on the latest version of mongodb, which initial had setup and didn't encounter any problems. However that all changed when I was working remote and forgot I disabled the port no my network, rather than with the server. So I went pointing around where I didn't need to and ended up messing things up. The Best tutorial out there is of course on digital ocean for my setup on ubuntu 16.04 , this articles isn't so much about getting setup. I just wanted to include it because I found myself looking back at it to see if I missed a step.   Bugs/Problems  Now comes all the messed up things I found and had to deal with.     firewall - Port seems to be open, but connection refused  try using 0.0.0.0 in the bin_ip for the /etc/mongo.conf  try sudo ufw disable and check to see if it works without the firewall (probably still wont but worth a shot), then just sudo ufw enable. Make sure port 27017 is open.  Then check this  linux - Connection refused to MongoDB e...

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 loo...
