Visual Studio Code keeps asking to sign in to sync settings...

-

Recently I had an issue where every time I started Visual Studio Code it would ask me to log in again to sync settings. It would work for the session, but after a restart of vscode it would appear to forget them.

Turns out this is apparently due to a full list of credentials.

This is referred to in the Troubleshooting keychain issues page: https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/editor/settings-sync#_troubleshooting-keychain-issues

Below is the text from the article at this point:

Windows

If the keychain throws the error "Not enough memory resources are available to process this command", open the Credential Manager application, click on Windows Credentials and go through the list to see if there are some you can delete. This error was first reported in issue #130893 and happens when you have too many credentials in your Credential Manager.

If you're not sure what credentials to delete, try deleting all of the vscode specific credentials which all start with vscode. Here is a PowerShell one-liner that does exactly that:

cmdkey /list | Select-String -Pattern "LegacyGeneric:target=(vscode.+)" | ForEach-Object { cmdkey.exe /delete $_.Matches.Groups[1].Value }

Enabling SNMP on an ASUS RT-N66U

-
Recently I wanted to monitor an ASUS RT-N66U, a brilliant router with many feature, one of which did NOT appear to be SNMP. After some rooting around on the Internet (pun intended?), I discovered that it is actually quite easy to set up. For this you will need a small USB stick, I used an old tiny 4GB thumb drive. Ensure it's partitioned and formatted to ext2. If you're using Windows then EaseUS Partition Master can help, there's a free version for home use.  Otherwise the Gnome Partition Editor , otherwise known as GParted, will work. Just pop the USB drive into the back of the router and go to the "USB application" page in the UI, it's one of the options under "General" on the left hand index. At the bottom of that page is the "Download Master" which you can then choose to install onto your USB. What this does is into install a package manager, along with various packages for the Download Master, but this gives you the abilit

Debugging multiple PHP projects with VS Code and Laragon

-
Laragon is a great solution for developing PHP, and especially Laravel, projects on Windows. It bundles together Apache, PHP, MySql and automatic host resolution based on folder names. It's great... Until... You try and debug in VS Code using XDebug when multiple sites on your local machine are hit in quick succession resulting in multiple connections from apache being opened against port 9000 on your VS Code instance at the same time. This manifests itself in VS Code by not hitting any breakpoints and just showing "Request 1" and "Request 2", or similar, in the debug call stack. In my environment, I have a main project containing middleware that does a security check against a second project before hitting my main action in my controller. Both PHP instances fire off their XDebug connections on port 9000, as xdebug.remote_autostart=1 in the PHP ini file. Normally this is fine as only one project is practically running at once, but the middleware cause
