I’ve got several node/typescript packages on my Github page. And one of the struggles I faced when starting these, was the manual work needed to release a new version to npm and/or docker hub. Saying goodbye to Travis CI Travis CI was my main tool for automating releases to npm, and checking pull-requests for that matter. It helped me getting a grasp of the automatic release process. While...

I’ve got a lot of home automation devices in my house, most of them are controllable while I’m on my local (wifi) network. The web interfaces are in various security levels, ranging from no security to password security.
I’m a big fan of the sonos devices, but I’m not a big fan of the Sonos app (mac/windows/android/ios), it just isn’t that good. At least the following points should be fixed before I would consider changing my mind: Android/iOS -> Alarm settings are hidden to far in the application. (two clicks, a long scroll and another click).Slowly startup, they do device discovery even though...
I’ve been building node libraries for home automation purposes for a while now, see my repositories. I decided that it was time to try out the strong-type goodness you get when using Typescript. Node-sonos (a library to control your sonos device, from you guessed it, node) was a good candidate. I’m one of the main contributors at this point. In the last two months I spend a lot of...

Let’s check the cache if we got the required result, if we got this item cached return that. If we don’t have it in cache, get it from the data store and save it for next time. In dotnet core you can use both Microsoft...
This is part of my JSON Web Token series. This time to show you how to create your own JWTs in dotnet core. Small note, creating your own token server isn’t something I would recommend! If you need your own token (identity/login/openid connect) server, have a look at Identity Server and the Identity server with Asp.net Identity quickstart.
Sometimes you just need a X509Certificate2 in your C# code. For authenticating to an external webservice for instance.
This will show you how to create such a certificate right from your C# code. By the way you’ll need the Bouncy castle or Bouncy castle core library
