Posted by jpluimers on 2015/11/13

Funny: about 5 years ago, the virtualization products became so good that you cannot reliably detect if you are running under virtualization or not: Programming Comments – How not to detect virtualization.

The Power of Open Source… Microsoft .NET and OpenShift: .Net on Linux

Posted by jpluimers on 2015/11/11

Really exiting times ahead: Microsoft .Net on Linux.

It’s not fully ready yet, but to get an idea to learn more about running OpenShift Enterprise 3 and a .NET application based on a Red Hat Enterprise Linux container, here are a few links to get started:

I wish that the demo repository at https://github.com/munchee13/snoopalicious.git and the rhosepaas.com domain were accessible (:

There are other alternatives too, but OpenShift (RedHat) and Microsoft working together is really exiting news to me.

If you’re on other distros, here are some more links:

And of course there has been Mono for a while, which is a different implementation of .NET:

Hopefully this will have search results soon: dnvm opensuse tumbleweed.

Hash Toolkit – Reverse MD5 / SHA1 Hashes

Posted by jpluimers on 2015/11/11

Interesting: Hash Toolkit – Reverse MD5 / SHA1 Hashes

They generate and allow you to generate various hashes, and store both the hash and original so you can reverse it.

Not meant for production data, but an approach for verifying if you do hashing correctly.

c# – TFS Code Reviews – Show updated files in response to comments – Stack Overflow

Posted by jpluimers on 2015/11/10

Nice steps here: c# – TFS Code Reviews – Show updated files in response to comments – Stack Overflow.

What’s missing here is that you now loose your history within the shelve-set.

That makes it harder for the reviewer to view the changes being re-reviewed.
