Using Docker on a Synology NAS has become really easy. It’s a bit harder to install Jenkins in a container and let it use the Docker installation it’s part of. But we are living in exciting times: bringing a fully functioning CI/CD-pipeline to your home automation has never been easier! 

.Net now runs on your Raspberry Pi (awesome!). Tired of xcopying the result to your pi? In this article I’ll explore how to build a CI/CD Bitbucket pipeline that will build and deploy the app to your Raspberry Pi.

Some deployment scripts need to check if certain required software is installed on a Windows Machine. You could check if the file is present at a certain location, but there is a better way to check if software is installed: the uninstall database in the Windows Registry. PowerShell makes it really easy to query the registry!

As a .Net Developer, I need my MacBook Pro to run Windows. I did so using Boot Camp (which was okay, but my mouse wouldn’t scroll) In Windows I use alt+tab a lot. But the cmd and alt keys are not in the right place (from a Windows keyboard perspective). I use the Windows key a lot too (like Windows+r for run). So let’s swap those keys!

Installed Windows 10 via BootCamp? Missing scrolling on your Air Mouse 2? After hours of searching I’ve found the simple solution: update the Apple software using the Apple updater located in your Program File directory.

Entering a javac (compile) and a java (execution) command seems tedious, so I wondered if those could be scripted into a good old .bat file.

I’ve created a file called yall.bat to help with the process. It has been a while since I’ve been playing around with batch files. I’ve seen my father do it… it still looks like a dark – and ancient – art to me.

Any web-developer needs a tool to easily review and adjust cookies. This chrome extensions has served me for years.

Today we had a problem on the server: our app was causing the application pool to crash. Windows error reporting didn’t give a clear result of what was causing a stack overflow exception within the app. No stack-trace, no nothing. So how to solve a problem like this?

I recently switched to WPExplorer’s Bogger Template, because it is simple and focused on the articles. What’s not to love? But there is still a lot to do to whip this template into shape. To help you out, I’ve created this post.

I like to browse the web using my computer, but I like to share the content with my friends on social platforms. Is this hard? Not with QR Codes and your mobile…
