Getting Samsung Dex Configured to Work with Azure DevOps Repos

Recently, I upgraded my phone to the Samsung Galaxy Note 10+... I'm a big fan of big phones (a perk to being a big guy). I've always been intrigued with the idea of using one device for everything. Well, with the Samsung Dex application that comes built into these next gen phones, it might be possible...?  As a guy that spends a lot of time working on ARM Templates and PowerShell scripts for Azure management, I was curious to see if I could get my phone, using Dex, connected to my Azure DevOps environment and start working with repos.... Well, to my surprise, I was able to, and without much pain. So, in this post, I'll run through how I got my Dex environment setup and working with Azure DevOps Repos. Getting Started With Samsung Dex open, go to the Google Play store and install Termux ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.termux&hl=en_US ) Once that's installed, open it! Next, we need to gift Termux with permissions to a

Low Carb, Gluten Free Pizza Crust

This is a very common, low-carb recipe for a pizza crust replacement. But what I can't stress enough is that the technique for putting everything together differs depending on who you're reading/watching... a lot... This is by far the best process for making this pizza crust and has been the only one that has given me first time success. Because this is a bit involved, I've done more than my usual and included lots of photos and descriptions... First things first, pre-heat your oven to 400 and collect your ingredients. For this you'll need the following: 1 1/2 cups almond flour 1 tsp xanthan gum 1/4 tsp salt 1/4 tsp black pepper 1/4 tsp dried oregano 1/2 tsp dried garlic 2 tsp baking powder (grain & aluminum free 1 large egg 1 oz cream cheese (at room temperature) 2 cups mozzarella cheese For tools you will need: A large pot A metal bowl Spatula Whisk Cooking glove Rolling pin parchment paper Next, add 2-4 inches of water to the

Keto Kickin' Choffle

Alight, first recipe on the blog... If you've had a chance to reach the "About" section, you will have seen that, rather than spinning up multiple blogs, I'm just going to combine my passions for tech, food, health, and music into this one space. If you're not a fan, then too bad. I really just don't want to manage more than one blog.... With that, here goes nothing... So I recently came across the choffle. This is a really great, and fast to make replacement for buns. I'm also a huge fan of spicy foods. Well, I got the great idea to combine the heat with the choffle. And let me tell you, it turned out really good. I like to use this for a bun replacement when I'm in the mood for that extra kick, but not the extra toppings. Why? Because the extra toppings are now combined in the choffle. Thus removing the need for the additional toppings on my burgers. Enjoy. Kickin' choffle The choffle mix with a kick! Author: Larry L.

Visio Stencils Pack for Azure and Microsoft Integration (v5.0.0)

First off, I'd like to send a big shout out to Sandro Pereira who's been managing the vision stencils pack. Essentially, I'm re-posting his information here, because I had a really hard time finding the latest Visio pack for Azure, that wasn't a bunch of SVG's. My thought is that if more people re-post, maybe the search engines of the internet will have an easier time propagating the information... Sandero's Blog (the original post around the new stencils): https://blog.sandro-pereira.com/2019/10/18/microsoft-integration-and-azure-stencils-pack-for-visio-new-major-version-available-v5-0-0/ Sandero's GitHub: https://github.com/sandroasp/Microsoft-Integration-and-Azure-Stencils-Pack-for-Visio Microsoft TechNet Download: https://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/Collection-of-Integration-e6a3f4d0 I will say, and maybe it's just because I'm using Visio 2013, each icon has a boarder that needs to be removed when putting it on the page...
