  • Migrating to Github Packages

    I have been running a free version of Proget locally for years now. It served as a home for Nuget packages, Docker images, and Helm charts for my home lab projects. But, in an effort to slim down the apps that are running in my home lab, I took a look at some alternatives. Where…

  • Platform Engineering

    As I continue to build out some reference architecture applications, I realized that there was a great deal of boilerplate code that I add to my APIs to get things running. Time for a library! Enter the “Platform” I am generally terrible at naming things, but Spydersoft.Platform seemed like a good base namespace for this…

  • Badges… We don’t need no stinkin’ badges!

    Well… Maybe we do. This is a quick plug (no reimbursement of any kind) for the folks over at Shields.io, who make creating custom badges for readme files and websites an easy and fun task. A Quick Demo The badges above are generated from Shields.io. The first link looks like this: My Github username (spyder007)…

  • Using SonarCloud for Open Source

    My last few posts have centered around adding some code linting and analysis to C# projects. Most of this has been to identify some standards and best practices for my current position. During this research, I came across SonarCloud, which is Sonarqube’s hosted instance. SonarCloud is free for open source projects, and given the breadth…

  • Publishing Code Coverage in both Azure DevOps and SonarQube

    I spent more time than I care to admit trying to get the proper configuration for reporting code coverage to both the Azure DevOps pipeline and SonarQube. The solution was, well, fairly simple, but it is worth me writing down. Testing, Testing… After fumbling around with some of the linting and publishing to SonarQube’s Community…

  • MMM-PrometheusAlerts: Display Alerts in Magic Mirror

    I have had MagicMirror running for about a year now, and I love having it in my office. A quick glance gives my family and I a look at information that is relevant for the days ahead. As I continue my dive into Prometheus for monitoring, it occurred to me that I might be able…

  • A little open source contribution

    The last month has been chock full of things I cannot really post about publicly, namely, performance reviews and security remediations. And while the work front has not been kind to public posts, I have taken some time to contribute back a bit more to the Magic Mirror project. Making ToDo Better Thomas Bachmann created…

  • Simple Site Monitoring with Raspberry PI and Python

    My off-hours time this week has been consumed by writing some Python scripts to help monitor uptime for some of my sites. Build or Buy? At this point in my career, “build or buy” is a question I ask more often than not. As a software engineer, there is no shortage of open source and…

  • MS Teams Notifications Plugin

    I have spent the better part of my last 20 years working on software in one form or another. During that time, it’s been impossible to avoid open source software components in one form or another. I have not, until today, contributed back to that community in a large way. Perhaps I’ve suggested a change…
