If you want to run both DUnitX and DUnit tests in a test project using TestInsight as runner encapsulation, then you need to be aware that when there are no DUnitX tests, it will raise an exception.
So use this code to prevent that:
try TestInsight.DUnitX.RunRegisteredTests; finally TestInsight.DUnit.RunRegisteredTests; end;

A while ago, I wrote about Installing Windows software with Chocolatey: a few notes and A choco install list, mentioned choco-cleaner in both (see first quote below) but forgot to show where this excels.
This is what I wrote:
since there is no
choco cleanupyet [WayBack] you need to either:
- install [WayBack] Chocolatey Gallery | (unofficial) Choco Cleaner (Script + Task) once, then every time you want to cleanup:
- wait for the default cleanup task to run on Sundays at 23:00 local time
- from an elevated console, run
%ChocolateyInstall%\lib\choco-cleaner\tools\choco-cleaner-manual.bat- if you have a [WayBack] Chocolatey licensed edition, install [WayBack] FeaturesPackageReducer
- run
rd /s /q %Temp%\chocolatey%every now and then (cleans less than the above methods).…
If you want to clean cruft:
choco install --yes choco-cleaner
It helps a lot for situations where chocolatey updates a package, but you still have the old software running. In that case, the old version will be in %ProgramData%\chocolatey\lib-bkp, potentially taking up a lot of disk space.
This happed to me for instance when still having Process Explorer open while upgrading.
This is what happened:
ShimGen has successfully created a shim for ZoomIt.exe This is try 1/3. Retrying after 300 milliseconds. Error converted to warning: Toegang tot het pad procexp.exe is geweigerd. This is try 2/3. Retrying after 400 milliseconds. Error converted to warning: Toegang tot het pad procexp.exe is geweigerd. Maximum tries of 3 reached. Throwing error.

Reminder to self to write a bit more on the usage of a UPS my brother has got for a while now: CyberPower CP1500EPFCLCD which is Line-Interactive with Pure Sine Wave output.
Before buying the ESXi support seemed incredible.
Some links to start with:

I bumped into [WayBack] Print Friendly & PDF: Make a Printer Friendly & PDF version of any webpage.
Though Chrome has built-in PDF output support, often web sites render like a mess with it.
Hopefully the above site makes better PDFs in those cases.
I will try to use it for those, and get back if it works.

A similar ESXi 6.5 box worked well to ssh into, but on ESXi 6.7 it failed:
SSH into ESXi 6.7 box resulting in “
debug1: expecting SSH2_MSG_KEXDH_REPLY“, delay and after entering password “Permission denied, please try again.“
I had a hard time figuring out why: Login with the same user+password on the web user interface, DCUI and console shell work fine (see [WayBack] Enable SSH on VMware ESXi 6.x – VirtuBytes).
Searches that led me to EBCAK:
