Every Google calendar URL has an iCal file you can use… here’s how to find it.

Every time I learn some new piece of CSS I’m amazed at how flexible and powerful it is. Like how easy it is to tailor your site for your visitor’s “dark mode” preference!

If you need to consume a webhook from another service, or verify the payload being sent from your own REST API endpoint, RequestBin can help. It intercepts and displays the contents of any call made to it. Here’s how to deploy your own instance in just a few minutes.

I was checking the status of a FedEx order when Brave warned me that “this site has been blocked from accessing your motion sensors”. I’m struggling to understand why a website would need that access. Do I get a different experience if I drop my device? Tip my monitor over? Spin the mouse around?

Today I’m wrapping my head around a build tool called Ansible, used for deploying machines in a scriptable, repeatable manner. Follow along as I step through an excellent tutorial from DigitalOcean, applying what I learn to a couple DO Ubuntu VMs… the $5/mo ones - nothing fancy needed!

Google provides some amazing tools, but at what cost to privacy? One of the biggest blockers in eliminating them has been finding a reliable and affordable replacement for email (and ideally, calendar, documents, tasks, etc too). Well I may have finally found it, in Mailbox.org.

I was trying to add times in Erlang, but couldn’t find an existing function, so I wrote my own.

This error might look a little cryptic at first glance, but it’s fairly descriptive in explaining what’s wrong. You’re likely to come across this one before your first cup of coffee.

Did you know most languages have a way to pass around code to other functions, so you can call (invoke) it in other parts of your application? In C#, it’s called a delegate.

If you’re writing a WPF application and need to find the state of the Num Lock, Caps Lock, or Scroll Lock keys, you’re in luck - there’s a method for that.

One of the many nice functions in LINQ is a single word that iterates through a collection, returning true if at least one item in the collection matches the condition you specify. But what’s the opposite of the Any keyword in LINQ?

In a new AWS Lambda function, logging is initially disabled. Lets see how to enable it, for those times where additional detail is needed.

Most of us host something (and some of us everything) on GitHub, especially since they host private repos for free too now. I’ve been eager to try the GitHub Package Registry since they announced it last May. Well, I just got access to the beta, so let’s see what we can do!

If you’ve heard the term package manager, especially with GitHub announcing their own, you might be wondering what exactly it is. Well, it’s a way to find, reuse, and share code, among other things.

GraphQL is bundled with GraphiQL, which lets us run queries right in the browser! Let’s see how GitHub uses it and try kicking the tires.

GraphQL is an alternative for REST, not a replacement. Let’s take a brief look at how they differ.

I use 2FA on every site that supports it, but I’d never given much thought to how a 2FA code is generated. Let’s learn how!

Mozilla announced they’ll no longer accept extensions with obfuscated code. It’s good news for users, maybe not so much for developers. Obfuscated code is (intentionally) nearly impossible to understand, and could easily be malicious. Let’s unpack and break down a few concepts.

GitHub, GitLab, and Bitbucket just released a joint statement on a widespread ransomware attack that resulted in compromised accounts. That got me thinking, what can a person do to protect his or her code on GitHub? As it turns out, a lot…

Modifying an Erlang config file at runtime wasn’t as easy (or obvious) as I’d thought it’d be. So I wrote a script to hopefully make it easier.
