However, it has revealed that the OneDrive API is very buggy and unreliable! I’m surprised by how many issues I’ve been getting. I’m […]

This script is very simple. It will scan a network range attached to the device it is run from, and will turn what it finds into a list of reservations for the Kea dhcp server – https://kea.readthedocs.io/ You run it something like this, giving it a network range to scan. Then network should be a […]
Commands were found here: https://www.dell.com/community/Isilon/Unlock-locked-file-on-Isilon-Share-via-MMC/td-p/7094821 My first thought for finding the open lock was to just use the MMC console on windows to find it, like this: However, it turns out that this will only show you the locks on a specific node, not the whole cluster. What you need to do is instead hop […]
When trying to find why my ospf configs were not sending the correct costing from Linux -> Cisco devices, I found some useful commands that I thought I would note down for future reference.

I have a Lenovo X1 Carbon 4th Gen, running Ubuntu 20.04 – it’s a great laptop, with a 14″ display and a 1080p screen. However, if you run it at 1X display scaling, everything is just a bit too small for comfort. I have found the best display scaling factor for it is 125%. Ubuntu […]

Reading Jlelse’s blog here (https://jlelse.blog/dev/telegram-go/) I realised there is another alternative to using an automation tool like IFTTT or Microsoft Power Automate, is to use a messaging app like Discord or Telegram.

I previously made a guide on how to create a notifier using Microsoft Power Automate: https://jaytuckey.name/2020/04/21/making-a-simple-phone-notification-tool-using-microsoft-power-automate-previously-microsoft-flow/ However, the Request trigger used in that flow is only available on a premium account so many people won’t be able to use it without a work account. For those people, here’s how to make the same thing using […]
Note – The “Request” trigger used in this post is only available on a Premium Power Automate account. If you want this for personal use, I suggest you look at using IFTTT instead, see my guide here: https://jaytuckey.name/2020/04/21/making-a-simple-phone-notification-tool-using-ifttt-available-on-a-free-account/ Many of us have access through our work to Microsoft Power Automate, previously called Microsoft Flow.
