Proofreading blog drafts using Copilot Sidebar

While working on a blog post, I discovered a way to proofread my drafts in an easy way. This might not be very revolutionary, but it was so convenient that I wanted to share it with the world.

I use Hugo for my static website. On my local computer I can preview it in the browser under localhost:1313. Copilot Sidebar in Edge does the same! This means I can ask it to proofread it.

Blog Comments are back

I haven’t had comments on my blog since I moved from wordpress. Until now. I just added comments back to my blog and here is how I did it.

The most convinient way is integrating my blog with Github Discussions using giscus.

The giscuss.app page walks you through the setup and authorization process.

I created a new public repository on Github, then I enabled Discussions feature on the repository (Settings -> Features).

Workload Identity Federation

There is no reason not to switch to Workload Identity Federation for Service Connections in Azure DevOps. Compared to secret-based connections, it offers several compelling benefits:

Firstly, you eliminate the need for secrets. This means no more manual or automatic rotation of secrets, or worse, being caught off guard when secrets expire unnoticed.
Secondly, it’s more secure. Secrets used across multiple projects and stored in key vaults or, even worse, in tools like OneNote, are far more susceptible to compromise than the new identity federation approach.

Here is my step-by-step guide on setting up Workload Identity Federation in Azure DevOps. I recommend the manual setup over the automatic one for these reasons:

Discord Bot From Hello World to Container Apps

Recently I Became Curious About Discord Bots and How They Work.

In this blog post, I am going to write about my learnings. While some parts might be familiar to you, I found it very amusing to start with a simple “Hello, World!” bot, run it locally, deploy it to the cloud, and integrate it with ChatGPT. Along the way, I learned a lot. I hope this post can inspire other people or at least serve as a reference to refresh my memory when I revisit this topic in the future.

Show Path Column in SharePoint

PnP.PowerShell is just the tool you need to show the Path column in a SharePoint document library view. Scroll down to see the script, or read on to learn more.

An introduction

Do you still have folders in SharePoint? Well, you are not alone. Remember the old dream of relying on metadata only? Forget it! As a matter of fact, folders are still a popular way of organizing files in SharePoint. When not overused, they provide “metadata” by itself, metadata that works even in synced folders, in archive scenarios, works best with Teams etc.

Vertical Laptop Holder

I just 3D-printed a laptop holder, a vertical one. It is so pretty and it makes my desktop tidier, so, I thought, it deserves an own blog post. This information might be too little for a blog post. So, as a bonus, I’ll tell you how the process of finding and customizing a 3D model looks like.

Thingiverse customizer

I found a nice laptop holder on Thingiverse. Then I just clicked on “Open in customizer” like this:

Microbit Mouse Jiggler

Do you want to be always green in Teams? This fun diy project will help you - a mouse jiggler that keeps your screen and Zoom and Teams awake.

The idea came when I had a fun conversation with a friend of mine about presence status tracking and how ineffecient it is. As a matter of fact I found a whole lot of products and diy projects just for faking your presence status. So it sounded like a fun challenge to me. Eventhough I don’t need it. If you think you need it, I’d say talk to your boss instead and make sure you are not measured on time being green in Teams, but your real effort. But it is fun to tinker with electronics anyway :)
