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...

Using Angular-Datatables Notes

These notes are based on angular-datatables v 8.0.0   Using Angular Component In order to get a angular component say to run you need to create the code in the same scope. That's how I managed to get it running. So for example you have to create a model via angular and attach it to a jquery event. What your doing is in the definition of the datatable is passing the logic in at that point on how to run.   import  {  Component ,  OnDestroy ,  OnInit ,  ViewChild ,  AfterViewInit  }  from   '@angular/core' ; import  {  Meta ,  Title  }  from   '@angular/platform-browser' ; import  {  HttpClient  }  from   '@angular/common/http' ; import  {  NgbDateStruct ,  NgbModal  }  from   '@ng-bootstrap/ng-bootstrap' ; import  { formatDate }  from   "@angular/common" ; import  {  DataTableDirective  }  from   'angu...

Ag-grid: Angular dynamic loading data (without async)

For anyone not using "async" in their html, its importance to set your variable to a type but not an array. The difference is small but there is almost no reference to it in the documentation. I found this out while working on my own complex UI grid. In fact very proud of the results, but would like to have the same responsiveness that datatables provides. I'll have an article more on that later. For now this is just a small tip for anyone looking to not use "async" which is in the documentations. I think the benefits of doing this this way is less html to maintain as well as simpler code. rowData: []; //You can't use array methods until you have data, which you really shouldn't be anyway. vs  rowData = []; //this allow you to reference array methods at the start or when there is data but does not allow ag-grid to be aware that the rowData is empty. You can still update the array but when you do it just shows an message that your rowData is empty first w...

NLog 4.6.2 Console Application

For most of our configuration we use the App.config file. If you do not have one, create one and copy a .csproj project’s build configs for handling App.config files or simply start a project with App.config in the visual studio template. Based on .Net framework Console Applications under the .Net 4.7.2 Framework using NLog 4.6.2 however later versions may work just as well. In the start of the App.config add the following... < configSections >     < section name= "nlog" type= "NLog.Config.ConfigSectionHandler, NLog" />   </ configSections >   < nlog throwExceptions= "true" xmlns= "http://www.nlog-project.org/schemas/NLog.xsd" xmlns:xsi= "http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" >     < targets >           < target name= "database" xsi:type= "Database" dbProvider= "System.Data.SqlClient"               connectionString= "$ {gdc:item=databaseStr} "   ...

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...
