Проверка текстов на вашем сайте

Тут запилили форму для проверки текстов пресс-релизов и другого маркетинга, чтобы в мире было поменьше “не знающих аналогов эффективных систем для всех задач”. Называется Главред, но к Яблокову, судя по всему, отношения не имеет.

Причём не просто форму, а целый API, который можно прикрутить к себе на сайт. И хотя в их примере уже показано, как это делается, я покажу ещё и свой пример.

C# / .NET Core, download a forum thread

Once I needed to download a multi-page forum thread (more than 1000 pages) into a single-page document. So I wrote a .NET Core utility, which is presented in this article.

Of course, it is not a universal forum thread downloader, but actually it can be one, because the only thing you need to do in order to adapt it to a different forum - change regular expressions for parsing.

C# / .NET Core, RSS feed and Yandex Zen

Actually, that is the first thing you need to do on your webwite. Not Twitter integration and not Facebook integration, but RSS feed. This is the fastest and easiest thing to do, anyway.

In addition to simply generating RSS, I’ll tell you about Yandex Zen (because it’s also RSS-based) and my attempts to inegrate with it.

Nasty bug in TfL's contactless terminals

TfL has contactless payment terminals at London’s buses, Underground, and DLR stations. It is a very convenient feature, because you can pay with your contactless bank card (PayPass, payWave, etc), and it is cheaper than buying regular tickets from ticket machine - you just use your card on every mean of transport you need during the day and in the end of the day the system will calculate the total cost (which is usually lower than the price of a standard one-day ticket), just don’t forget to apply your card both when you get on and when you get off the bus/Underground/DLR.

But there is one nasty problem with TfL’s contactless payment terminals.

Startup script in Boot to Qt image

Well, actually this applies to (I guess) any Linux system, but I needed it for Boot to Qt image, so…

Several domains on the same server with Let's Encrypt TLS

So, we have several (3, so far) domains registered for our website (don’t ask me, why). And we need to host our website properly, so there is only one copy of it (obviously), but it should available from any of those domains. And on top of that we want to serve it via HTTPS, so we need a certificate.

In this article I’ll describe what needs to be done for that.

C# / .NET Core, publish to Facebook

I started with Twitter, and today I’ll tell you how I was struggling with publishing to Facebook from C# / .NET Core project. “Struggling” part is totally on the Facebook side. Потому что это, блять, нечто.

C# / .NET Core, publish to Twitter

We needed to publish updates from our website to various social media. Later I will create posts describing all of them, but right now I’ll tell you how to work with Twitter from C# / .NET Core project.
