Last year I wrote about my eight year anniversary on Twitter and how I’ve been using it. Since then another year passed and while my usage hasn’t really changed, there are a few small things I want to talk about. The Dissident I don’t remember how I came across the documentary in the first place, […]
7zip Only What You Want The other day I had to package a directory with photos and video clips inside, but I only really wanted the image and not the large video files. With GUI and explorer shell integration that’s kind of hard to achieve, but with the command line it’s rather easy to include/exclude […]
Windows Subsystem for Linux GUI With Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL or WSL2) you can run Linux applications natively on Windows. The “natively” is to be understood literally for WSL2, meaning you’re really running a Linux Kernel and not just a translation/emulation as with the original WSL. But since I personally haven’t played around much […]
TestDisk Data Recovery On Discord someone recently had one of their disk formatted by accident (remember kids, always backup before playing around with partitions for your dual-boot setup) and went around looking for a recovery software. In the past I’ve used R-Studio, not to be confused with RStudio, the IDE for the statistical programming language […]
Implicit Conversion and SQL Server Today, I spent most of my worktime analyzing a bug, where for a larger than normal number of input rows an SQL query would take longer than 30 seconds (default timeout duration) and the request would fail. After understanding the data flow and validating that the data itself shouldn’t cause […]
Ninja Continuing my quest of compiling SFML with all the flavors of Clang on Windows, I tried out the build system Ninja for the first time. It’s well-known, has its own CMake generator for a very long time and compared to a normal Visual Studio build it’s quite fast. There honestly isn’t too much to […]
In this Today I Learned (TIL) format, I want to very briefly share things I’ve come across and learned from today. CMake Package Manager Someone on the SFML Discord was trying to get SFML to play nice with their CMake script which uses CMake Package Manager (CPM). CPM is not a built-in functionality or officially […]
Here are some links to other articles, videos or podcasts, that I want to preserve as future referenced for myself, but are also worth sharing with others, since they are interesting and might have gotten lost on Slack, Discord or Twitter when I posted them over the last few days or weeks. The title doesn’t […]
This is a very short article in hopes, that it gets picked up by search engine and helps someone else or my future self. After the holidays I was making sure everything was up-to-date before start any work, but of course, things are never that easy and I ran into the following error, while updating […]
On my current project at work, we sometimes need to record a meeting, unfortunately the recording feature of the meeting software isn’t enable. As such I’ve written a short guide on how to use OBS Studio and thought, I’d share it on here as well. Open Broadcaster Software (OBS) Studio was, as the name implies, […]
