The GitHub Secret thing
So you travel along in your or someone’s GitHub repo… and we all know what that looks like. The repo code, actions, etc. But did you know that you can make the GitHub Web UI (page) look like a VS Code File Explorer? Ya… you can. It’s not really supported by GitHub (just to be clear)… but yeah. What is magic… Normally a GitHub url looks something like https://github.com/<User Name>/<Repo Name> simple enough… To see the magic… just do a https://github1s.com/<User Name>/<Repo Name> That’s right, add a 1s to the DNS name of github.com… You will get a VS Code “On-Line” view of the repo. How cool is that? 😎 Look…

The world of Dotnet Templates
I have long been using templates for dotnet new and of course Visual Studio. So I’ve started down the road of creating my own templates… or a least trying to understand how to create these, Now creating templates for dotnet new and especially for Visual Studio has never been a simple task. But let us try. The first matter is understanding where templates live. For the most part these are based on your user for your PC. This found by using a PS command: join-path -Path $env:USERPROFILE -ChildPath .templateengine This will return C:\Users\<your user name>\.templateengine And as you guess it, there is a .templateengine directory in your users directory. What…

The Confusing world of Text.Json and .Net 5
So one of the base libraries over the years that has been our friend is Newtonsoft.Json – the stuff of legend maybe? Well, if not, certainly anyone whose done .Net and used any kind of Json formatted data certainly knows of Newtonsoft.Json… The “go to Json Serializer”! That is until Microsoft set out to prove to the world they could do it better. Better? Like many things in the world of .Net over the years, Microsoft watches these open source libraries… and notices when they become the defacto standard (meaning… Micro either left it out of their core offerings…. or more typical someone did better). Hence Microsoft’s System.Text.Json vs. NewtonSoft.Json. …

DB2 SQL Update on Joined Tables
From time to time I have to deal with my least favorite subjects like DB2. While DB2 has a functional SQL, it’s dated and has not really kept up with SQL language improvements over the years. But it is all that I have to flow data from the IBM AS400 to the outside world (** it could be worst… like dealing with old COBOL programs). So lets talk about updating column values that involve more that one table. Yeah, joined tables that have to have one or more columns updated. Why would one need to do this? From time to time one needs to collect batches of rows from more…

Backing up your WSL Distro and Copying it to another PC
In our last article we talked about Moving an install WSL Distro from it awful install folder to another drive and path. So let’s make a back up of that distro, and then install it on a different PC. Using our new favorite tool LxRunOffline let’s make back up of a distro on our PC. However, as one starts down the path of using LxRunOffline, there is a slight issue when it comes to WSL2 Distros: lxrunoffline export -n openSUSE-Leap-15-1 -f suse.tar.gz [ERROR] The action/argument “export” doesn’t support WSL2. Ok, not a huge problem… this article just got longer…. LxRunOffline export will work for WSL 1 type Distros… So let’s…
