Bye, bye Resharper

The last function I missed in Visual Studio, that was keeping Resharper on, was locating a file by name or by class name.



However, it turns out that the feature already exists, as explained here:

It is called 'Go to All' and is easy to assign to the familiar Ctrl+T shortcut.



Good bye, slowness.

In addition, notification channels need to be created for any notifications on API >= 26. Notification channels are useful. They allow grouping of notifications so that end users can disable or enable them as they see fit.

NextCloud on Raspberry Pi

Considering the new Raspberry Pi has mobile and Wi-Fi interfaces built-in, it makes a fantastic candidate for being a home access point as well as a NextCloud server.



Now there is also an official project, a Raspberry Pi image of the latest stable NextCloud release:

A wonderful candidate for the next winter hobby project.
