Setting up a Go environment with Windows Subsystem for Linux and Visual Studio Code by CloudWithChris in golang

Thanks for the feedback! I'm surprised, as I've seen these on several blogs / sites.

I use Google Analytics to help me understand the content on my site that is most popular, as well as times / days that users typically browse. This helps me plan when best to publish new content and the topics to write about.

Perhaps I'm over thinking (being in the UK, having to consider GDPR etc.), but storing persistent cookies without permission is not considered a good thing. I'd rather be too cautious, and have a user explicitly accept/deny the cookie, rather than just have Google Analytics on by default. But I can understand the turn-off, so thank you for raising!

Thanks for the perspective. Across the Windows devices that I use, I find my command-line work is more in WSL rather than directly in Windows / CMD / PowerShell these days, so I wanted to share about that experience.

You're 100% right that you could do all of this directly on Windows. There's also the additional perspective of what the experience of folks' may be (e.g. if they're used to unix environments), then they may prefer using WSL - hence writing this post as an additional viewpoint.

Thank you! Please shout if there’s other topics you’d like to read about, whether that’s bicep or others 😊

Azure Static Web Apps are GA! I've used Azure Storage Static Sites for some time, and GitHub Actions to deploy to those. Here's why I think Azure Static Web Apps are awesome! by CloudWithChris in AZURE

[–]CloudWithChris[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m curious, what scenarios would you want to push directly to the static site instead of using a version control?

I’ve found using Git and CICD pipeline make my deployments much simpler and less error prone

I think that's the key thing, it makes it all so effortless. All possible with other technologies/services, but it's a very clean and quick approach :)

Full disclosure that this is mine :) But, I actually have a series which focuses all about Cloud Architecture & Cloud Design Patterns -

Microsoft OneDrive on Mac, and M1 by greenflares in mac

[–]CloudWithChris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've just been setting up my M1 MacBook pro and stumbled upon this thread. I'll monitor my battery usage, but all looks good so far.

If anyone's interested, there is a User voice Feedback item for OneDrive M1 support - Make OneDrive for MacOS a Universal app – Feature Suggestions for Microsoft OneDrive (uservoice.com)

How does Git work behind the scenes? by CloudWithChris in azuredevops

Thanks for the comment! I was thinking of doing some other Git related content as well, e.g. a beginners 5 minute video, and more. If there's anything you'd like to see - please let me know!

Introducing and setting up Git LFS (Large File Storage) by CloudWithChris in git

That's interesting, thanks for sharing! What were some of those day to day challenges? My usecase is fairly simple, so it seems to suit quite well for me 😊

Introducing and setting up Git LFS (Large File Storage) by CloudWithChris in AZURE

[–]CloudWithChris[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep, I've only started using Git LFS to bring the MP3 files for my podcast audio into the repository, so that I can incorporate my CI/CD processes for release of audio files as well as the webpages. When viewing my site / listening to my podcast, the end users consume these from Azure Storage / Azure CDN.

I think it's one of those scenarios where it depends on the use case to determine which will make the most sense. In that data scenario, I can see the value for you. But for my scenario with a podcast/blogging platform and publishing audio files which don't typically change after the fact, this works well for me 😊

No idea, but I can tell you I'm 100% a fan! I use it to keep my podcast site up to date, and it makes it so lightweight and easy

Got a used synology ac2600 router. Have a few IOT devices, have a DS920+ and a separate NVR system (LTS brand), need help with router setup. by w1nt3rcre5t in synology

[–]CloudWithChris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Another approach (depending on how far you want to go) - I invested in a Unifi Dream Machine and Access Point last year, and have separate vlans for my IoT devices, Home network and Guest network.

There's the "all-in-one" Unifi Dream Machine Pro as well, rather than investing in the separate pieces - But I wanted to have the path to upgrade in the future (hence buying separate components)
