iCUE shutdown/reboot bug on Windows 10 – The memory could not be read

With Corsair’s iCUE (latest version) on my Windows 10 (all updates installed) I got an error dialogue on every shutdown/reboot from iCUE. It was something like the following: The instruction at 0x000000005FC4030B reference memory at 0x000000003ED0860. The memory could not be read. Taken from the Corsair forum this especially effects systems with ASUS soundcards. I […]

IntelliJ .http/.rest cli support

Development / Manuel Bogner

I’m a big fan of the IntelliJ .http/.rest files but only being able to run them from within the IDE was not very satisfying. So I was looking for a way to run them from the cli as well and found https://github.com/restcli/restcli. This project offers a cli tool named rest-cli that is able to run

nvm slows down shell startup

Development, Linux / Manuel Bogner

Recently I was wondering why my shell is taking so long to show a prompt and was able to track it to nvm – node version manager. The check which version to use as default takes quite long so I was looking for a solution that allows me to keep nvm functionality and have a

gradle jacoco plugin with java 15

Java / Manuel Bogner

In my latest experiments I upgraded a project to Java 15 and received exceptions during the build from jacoco that state that the used Java version isn’t supported. Here the exceptions stacktrace I received: Especially “Unsupported class file major version 59” is a good indicator that Java 15 isn’t supported yet. To get around that

docker reset script – docker prune

Linux / Manuel Bogner

I’m using docker for a lot of projects and have to switch context very often – I know – that kind of sucks, but that’s how it is… Most containers can’t be shared between projects and I don’t want to spend more resources than necessary as my machines are on their limits. So I wrote

Shells starting very slow on my ubuntu and mac

Linux, Mac / Manuel Bogner

My shells were starting very slow which is really bad as a dev/admin. I found out that all those version managers I installed were to blame for that. So I decided to get rid of nvm and rvm by simply removing the directories and cleaning up my .bashrc and .profile in $HOME. After those simple

Ubuntu / Manuel Bogner

In my last post I found out who was to blame for filling my complete disk. It was this new and fu**** slow snapd added to ubuntu in the last few moments before release to get into the app market business. I decided to live without this feature and uninstalled it: After letting this run

Remove old/disabled snaps from the system – ubuntu why…

Ubuntu / Manuel Bogner

The new snap system starts eating my system partition. Next to being slow it also holds old backups of upgraded snaps. Ubuntu itself has no option to disable that. You can only lower the number of old versions by using which will limit the number to one live and one backup copy. But what if

Stop firefox from changing your URLs automatically to https

General / Manuel Bogner

As an admin I have to work with http and https sites quite often. Firefox started to put https in front of everything automatically and clearing the cache all the time is not what I wanted to continue. I found a quick workaround that avoids this issue. Open a new tab and enter about:config in
