 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

 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. 

The time has come where I've been forced to work with SQL like a dba, and for once the pieces are falling in place.  https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3942207/how-can-i-backup-a-remote-sql-server-database-to-a-local-drive https://stackoverflow.com/questions/16491/restore-database-backup-over-the-network#:~:text=On%20the%20Server%20that%20you,bak%22 https://stackoverflow.com/questions/10204480/sql-server-the-backup-set-holds-a-backup-of-a-database-other-than-the-existing https://dba.stackexchange.com/questions/28082/restore-backup-fails-file-db-cannot-be-restored-to-mdf-use-with-mov Generating a script took too long and wasnt helpful for what I needed since I'd still need to move it onto the server. We're talking about 200gb and plus... and to make matters worse time is important. Since the backups are created nightly on the server and I just need to restore the backup on another server it seems kinda of a waste to not be able to use it. https://stackoverflow.com/questions...

 I'd like to use visual studio but visual code with mono.exe on the side is what I'm currently doing. I'm able to get WinForms to work however I'm running into difficult trying to run GTK on windows.  Unhelp Q/A - https://stackoverflow.com/questions/51132090/mono-compliling-gtk-on-windows its unhelp because I already have the complier working and referencing the package properly.

 As a consultant I've been able to start developing application and services at the lower levels of the operating system. Which is pretty interesting compared to what I use to do. I find myself doing the same thing with my web development. WPF -  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Presentation_Foundation#:~:text=Windows%20Presentation%20Foundation%20(WPF)%20is,NET%20Framework%203.0%20in%202006.

This is no longer needed but maybe can be used for real-time example projects. Currently dont have any use for it. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/44063832/what-is-the-best-practice-in-ef-core-for-using-parallel-async-calls-with-an-inje https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/ef/core/managing-schemas/migrations/ I've also been moving away from EF in favor for Dapper, still using tasks that might be unless until I write myself an example.

For sometime now I've been at a point in my research to find the proper way to handle raw html. Sometimes you need your api to push raw html with syntax that can't be edited once its submitted.  Handling all html in a 2D array where the first in just the html tag and the second is a child's value which can also be a html tag. { ["p"]["test"]  This may also be another case to start my project with a headless orchard core project. Using fluid syntax might be the better way to allow an api to take information and using a custom javascript library to convert html to the api?
