Gitea - Slow Dashboard

For a few weeks now, I have noticed my Gitea instance takes nearly two minutes to load.

Turns out, when you use gitea for archiving lots of public repos, this will build up many entries in the actions table, which can drastically increase the loading time needed.

To fix this, I made a query & cron job, which removes actions for my "Archive" organization.

This- fixes the issue.

IF, you aren't archiving/mirroring a lot of repositories, this post will not help you.

C# - Get Display Attribute Value from Enum

Every now and then, I have a use case where decorating an Enum’s values with Attributes comes in handy. Things such as… Adding Display Names, Descriptions, etc.

Well, every time I have this use-case, I have to go google how I did it the previous time… and in most cases, StackOverflow is less then helpful. Then, I remember a few personal projects where I previously did this, and I find the code and reuse it.

TFS / Azure Devops - Semantic Versioning

I publish nuget packages. Alot of nuget packages.

I don’t have time to maintain nuget package versioning, so, I automatically generate versions based on the date and build number, like so: 2022.07.14.1

As well, I need support for alpha/beta/etc.

So, 2022.07.14.1-alpha.

Here is my method of doing it-

An anonymous request was received in between authentication handshake requests

I was receiving this error while hosting a webapi project on .net 5, using kestrel.

Introduction

So-

At least a few times a day, I find myself typing index=… into my browser's search bar, and expecting something to happen…

If I were to not catch my mistake and press enter, it would just bring me to a random google search result full of garbage results.

But- what if, you could actually search Splunk or other products directly from the address bar?

Well- it turns out, you can. And- below, I am going to show you how to do it.

This guide should work for either chrome or chromium(not tested). I am quite certain, it would also work for firefox or other browsers as well… but, I have not checked their documentation.

Unknown error (0x80005000) – Getting AD Group Members

Earlier today, somebody asked me to help troubleshoot a piece of code which was randomly erroring out- with a very undescriptive exception, only containing Unknown error (0x80005000)

The code in question, was recurring over groups, to gather membership. After ruling out permissions issues, I decided to try and replicate what was happening.

c# – Logging Directly to Splunk

This is a portion of my Logging libraries, to allow me to log data to Splunk using the HEC. The data being logged can either be a simple string, or a full-blown object. Code examples are below to also handle exporting Metrics to Splunk.
