No EventLog for Aspnet Core with Nlog

 If you trying to pass a json object you can still do so just not with the EventLog object. Instead just use the MS LogIformation method with the object as your parameters. I still havent got it to format the json object in the logs but for now this is a solution. Another solution is to pull the nlog object in and not use the MS LogInformation in Logger log = LogManager.GetCurrentClassLogger();  I haven't done this yet but I dont see a logical issue just bad design  https://github.com/NLog/NLog/issues/2106 https://stackoverflow.com/questions/39099601/how-can-i-configure-json-format-indents-in-asp-net-core-web-api https://github.com/NLog/NLog/issues/2629 https://stackoverflow.com/questions/34679727/use-nlog-in-asp-net-core-application https://stackoverflow.com/questions/44048187/layout-nlog-properties-as-json Example:  https://github.com/NLog/NLog.Web/blob/master/examples/ASP.NET%20Core%203/ASP.NET%20Core%203%20-%20VS2019/Controllers/HomeController.cs https://github.c...

Bootstrap: Spacing between Stack Items

For non-frontend developers bootstrap is already an great way to get started, I've said that for years. However I find .net developers using custom styles rather then whats involved in bootstrap. Its why I created flavorstrap, for ppl creating custom styles to use extension or to keep the naming convections similar. Margin utilities -  ml-auto  and When it stacked I recommend the following between the two items.. < div class = "d-block d-md-none col-12 py-3" > </ div > That way it only appears when you need it to and prevent cells from being on top of each other for smaller screens. However with bootstrap 5 this solution is even easier. Using the new Spacing style just follow the documentation,  {property}{sides}-{breakpoint}-{size}.

Visual Studio: Disable Dll Culture Folders on Compile

Quick solution that helped me remove extra files in my bin folder, sometimes I need to publish files on to server and the smaller they are the better. In my case I had different culture files/folders for the Microsoft.CodeAnalysis.CSharp.  Solution   <PropertyGroup>     <TargetFramework>net5.0</TargetFramework>     <SatelliteResourceLanguages>en-US</SatelliteResourceLanguages> </PropertyGroup> I could also add this to the package itself but the package didnt appear to be referenced directly in the .csproj. I think it was only referenced in the nuget config file, in any case this fixed the problem globally. Example for package < PackageReference Include = "Microsoft.CodeAnalysis.CSharp" Version = "3.0.0" ExcludeAssets = "All" /> Also worth noting I didnt use "en-US" I used just "en" which worked just as well, that might make a difference on some project.

Aspnet: IncludeScopes for Providers

On a previous job I had this in my appsettings.json,      {     "Logging": {         "IncludeScopes": false,         "LogLevel": {           "Default": "Information",           "Microsoft": "Warning",           "Microsoft.AspNetCore": "Warning",           "Microsoft.Hosting.Lifetime": "Trace"         }       }     } Getting a warning message, "logging configuration for provider. The provider name must match the configuration's json property name." This doesn't help me understand why its looking warning for an object. If it helps I'm using nlog but this warning still appears even if I remove nlog. After writing this I found the docs here:  Logging in .NET Core and ASP.NET Core And the following fixes my warning:      "Logging": {        ...

7 Days to Die Server on Ubuntu with background service

Sometime back I created a service for this game so I didnt have to manage it in a separate terminal. Saw a lot of tutorials that used this method, thankfully I have know linux well enough to improve this. Important to look over the  serverconfig.xml . I've noticed it you have an error in the server config the game just doesn't start but that could have been combined with other bugs I was working out at the time of writing this. In any case need to make sure all  things are in order before adding this service solution. Step one: Create File vim  /etc/systemd/system/ sdaysded.service chmod u+x sdaysded.service sudo systemctl enable sdaysded.service Step Two: Write to File [Unit] Description=sdaysded service After=network.target StartLimitIntervalSec=0 [Service] #User=steam Restart=always RestartSec=1 #WorkingDirectory=/home/sdaysded ExecStart=/home/sdaysded/startserver.sh -configfile=/home/sdaysded/serverconfig.xml [Install] WantedBy=multi-user.target Step 3: Test journalct...

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...
