YARP is a reverse proxy toolkit for building fast proxy servers in .NET using the infrastructure from ASP.NET and .NET. The key differentiator for YARP is that it's been designed to be easily customized and tweaked to match the specific needs of each deployment scenario.

I’ve been creating ChatGPT plugins and started thinking - wouldn’t it be fun to connect this to a Raspberry Pi and control some hardware? Turns out, it’s very easy to do. 

wkhtmltopdf and wkhtmltoimage are open source (LGPLv3) command line tools to render HTML into PDF and various image formats using the Qt WebKit rendering engine. These run entirely "headless" and do not require a display or display service. 

• Do use the interface IReadOnlyList<T> or IReadOnlyCollection<T> to expose a collection.

  • Use IReadOnlyList<T> if the item order is important and deterministic.

  • Use IReadOnlyCollection<T> if the item order is not important.

Recently I’ve got a spare minute to see why an old test server was running too slow… I had nothing to do with this, but I was very anxious to find out what was wrong with the server. 

The Find method on DbSet uses the primary key value to attempt to find an entity tracked by the context.
If the entity is not found in the context then a query will be sent to the database to find the entity there.
Null is returned if the entity is not found in the context or in the database.
