NiMV3 (Google Chrome Manifest V3) Update

So I spent the better part of this week working on migrating NiM to mv3 and so far so good. It was actually refreshing to dig through old code to see how my own coding skills have improved (or maybe that's just a pipe dream)... anyway, huge changes

Intelligent Pandemic Grocery Shopping

Intelligent Pandemic Grocery Shopping

Covid19 has forced a paradigm shift for many of us when it comes to our purchasing... in particular groceries. Both a curse and a blessing, shopping for groceries on Amazon has become the new normal for many as the ballooning of Mr. Bezos' wealth is a tribute to. As

Self Signed x509 Cert and Vue CLI (Webpack)

I just spent longer than I would have liked resolving this issue. Hopefully this post helps some others. While using a self signed certificate generated by openssl (from Ubuntu running under WSL2 on Windows 10... in case you care) for local development of the Brakecode.com dashboard using Vue CLI,

Inspect Node.js With Grunt-SWATCH (!watch) And Fiveo

I know, I know... the socket in the cover picture isn't really the type of socket we're talking about in this post, but I've been preoccupied lately with the idea of building a new workstation and the ThreadRipper is a monster! I mean it

LightGallery Plugin for NodeBB

LightGallery Plugin for NodeBB

I just started using NodeBB about a week ago. A project came up that required the use of a forum and being that I have such an affinity towards Node.js... the results of my search for open source forum software quickly narrowed down to NodeBB. Previously I've

The DevToolsCompat setting

A while ago I wrote a post about DevTools missing the source tree... So oddly the DevTools versions of late have been missing the source file tree normally found on the left hand side of the debugger under Sources > Page: At the end of that short post I wrote

Use Ansible to Setup Google MX Records

Use Ansible to Setup Google MX Records

We've all done it. After purchasing that shiny new domain name from our favorite registrar (one of mine happens to be namecheap), we go to set it up. Part of that setup likely includes changing the domain's MX records to point to "your own"

Node.js Governance Similar to Parler Elimination by Big Tech?

TL;DR A Project (my project in fact)... NiM which has been linked from Nodejs.org's site for years, was removed because of (in my opinion) nepotism toward corporations, and a governance model which is currently operating on an uneven playing field. I should add that my intent

More than "UX sugar"

More than "UX sugar"

Node.js V8 --inspector Manager (NiM) "adds some nice UX sugar on top"... of Node.js debugging. That's for sure. However now that the DevTools team has built in a solution for the UUID problem, some have disparaged NiM, out of what I would call ignorance

Absolute Simplest Node.js Debugging - VSCode/DevTools

In my opinion, debugging Node.js (Node) code hasn't ever been that big of a pain point, largely because of the excellent debugger baked into Node, which has been the case for at least as long as I've been involved with writing software in Node. Python

Squash Node Bugs with DevTools on Edge

Squash Node Bugs with DevTools on Edge

With the newest release of Microsoft's Edge browser, installing Chrome Web Store extensions on Edge is now possible as Edge is now built upon the Chromium code base. Further, Chrome DevTools is also included in Edge. And with the final piece of the puzzle being NiM (Chrome Web

Development Workflow - Sublime Text Plugin (python)

While writing my first ever Sublime Text plugin, I had a hell of a time figuring out a proper development workflow that worked for me and even searching on ST's forum didn't really turn up anything helpful. A few of the problems I experienced were 1.

DevTools Missing Page File Tree

DevTools Missing Page File Tree

So oddly the DevTools versions of late have been missing the source file tree normally found on the left hand side of the debugger under Sources > Page: Debugging seems to work fine and if you click on the menu icon to open the file manually, it works. But why

NiM Custom DevTools URLs

NiM Custom DevTools URLs

Sometimes Chrome introduces a breaking change that affects Node.js developer debugging. NiM provides a solution via a custom DevTools version setting, providing mix and match DevTools/Browser options.

Debugging NiM

* Set "Developer mode" by checking the "Developer mode" checkbox at the chrome://extensions page * Now go to the NiM extension item on the same page (you may have to scroll down if you have lots of extensions installed) and you should now see the background.html

"F#!k off with your email & web traffic sniffing."

I've often heard that developers in the open source community can be a bit harsh, indeed just 3 days ago the host and guest one of my favorite podcasts [1] touched briefly on that sentiment. By the way, shouts outs to Jeff and Erika, your podcast is great,

Inspect Broke My Workflow!

A few months ago I began using the built in Node V8 Inspector in lieu of node-inspector. My personal choice for switching came out of sticking to the path of least resistance, and for me, that entails keeping tooling as minimal as possible. Metaphorically speaking, the prospect of having one

NIM (Node Inspection Monitor)

NIM (Node Inspection Monitor)

What is it? A Chrome Extension that monitors the integrated Node V8 inspector and automates the management of Chrome DevTools during development using Node.js. Excerpts taken from various online forums: Is there a way to get chrome-devtools (--inspect) to automatically detach from a process that has ended?[1] How
