My magic the gathering cards site uses Azure App Configuration with references to Azure KeyVault. A cool thing about this, that I don't set up perfectly, is that the Azure App Config doesn't actually need permissions to the KeyVault. It's just storing references for the consuming app. My IaC gives…
An unfortunate admission - I'm not doing TDD on the new version of MtgDiscovery. I have excuses. * I'm doing A LOT of experimentation. * I don't have to make sure it works. * I've got a massive ego and assume the shit I do works. * I don't wanna log into work to…
Continuing my adventures with my re-write of the MtgDiscovery.com website... The Website. I'm using ASP.NET core6. Basically the same feel as any other website I've started with. Mostly that I hate it. First thing I did was to add localization. It's a thing I like to have set…
I may have put a post up about this for V1 of the Mtg Discovery website, but it's bit me in the ass differently, so there's another post. Assuming I wrote one originally.

Seems simple. Write-Host "##vso[task.setvariable variable=Resource.SystemIdentity;isSecret=false;isOutput=true;]$principalId" No.... Tasks…
I'm entirely re-doing my infrastructure for the entirely re-doing of my Magic The Gathering Collection Tracking Site. I did it in powershell the first time, and it works. Mostly. It's clunky and there's some stuff Azure PowerShell can't do. I wrote about that in v1 of this toe-to-toe. The rewrite…
I'm on vacation!? What the fuck! (Well, I will be, this is being written about 6 weeks in advance) This is the first actual planned vacation vacation I've been on in 5 years. 5 years to the day. (maybe off by 1... or 2) So, instead of pre-writing an actual…
There's a few resources out there about customizing the logging of Azure Functions... but none worked for me. I mean, one worked. This blog post. Even it doesn't SPECIFY the setting, just assumes it'll be inferred. Well... I did. But I'm going to put here how to customize the logging…
