Creating a Google Account Using Your Work Email

Ever had a colleague invite you to collaborate on a Google Doc using your work email and get prompted to request access using your gmail account? To avoid this, you can create a Google account using your work email (e.g. @xyzcorp.com) instead of the default @gmail.com or subscribing to GSuite. When your work email is a Google account, you can use it to login wherever there is a prompt for a Google account (Google Drive, Google SSO Login - Gitlab, Trello, Airtable, Jira, Clubhouse, etc.).

1. In your browser, set to Incognito mode and go to https://drive.google.com

2. Click on Create account -> For myself

3. Click on “Use my current email address instead” and type your work email. Fill in the other fields, then click on next.

After doing this, your work email is now a Google account and you can be invited to collaborate on other Google services.

Get uptime alerts in Telegram

You will be configuring 3 services. The assumption is that you have accounts already for these services. UptimeRobot — source of the uptime/downtime notifications. It currently supports email, Twitter, Slack, Pushover, Pushbullet and others but not Telegram. We will use the webhook notification as the way to send messages to Telegram. IFTTT — bridges UptimeRobot and Telegram by providing the webhook for UptimeRobot and triggering a message to Telegram. In IFTTT terminology: IF {event trigger from UptimeRobot}, then {send message to Telegram group} Telegram — destination of the notification. You will need to create a group for this. Telegram Configuration In Telegram, create a new group, if needed. You may opt to use an existing group. Go to @IFTTT and follow the instruction so link your Telegram account to your IFTTT account. Send /connect_group to @IFTTT and connect the group where you want to send the notifications. IFTTT Configuration Sign in to IFTTT and add a ne

Activating NDD on your Globe landline

NDD and IDD is not available by default on your new Globe landline to protect you from inadvertent charges due to calls to mobile phones and long distance numbers. Note that these instructions are for Metro Manila accounts. To activate NDD, you need call 730-1000. The problem is, an Interactive Voice Response (IVR) menu greets you at that number and there is no menu option to activate NDD. There is also no easy way to get to a human in the options. For credit card companies, I always use the "Report a lost card" option to reach an agent immediately. It appears there is no such shortcut with Globe's number. After several attempts at the menus, the way I got to an agent was to pretend to customize my plan and select the option that says the information is not helpful. Here's the guide: 730-1000 IVR Menu: 1 - English 1 - Globelines 1 - Customize your plan 1 - Customize your plan 2 - Not helpful 1- Talk to a customer agent It will take about 3 minutes for the

CI/CD for .NET Core

If you have a .NET API that you want to containerize, here are the steps to prepare it. Create docker image Push to repository Setup ECS The TLS 1.0 option is needed if your SQL Server database does not support TLS 1.2. The recommended option is to update your database to the secure protocol. You may also change sdk and aspnet version to 5.0 if you haven't updated to 6.0 yet. This Dockerfile uses a multi-stage build to get an optimal image size. Dockerfile FROM mcr.microsoft.com/dotnet/sdk:6.0 AS build-env WORKDIR /app # Copy csproj and restore as distinct layers COPY *.csproj ./ RUN dotnet restore # Copy everything else and build COPY . ./ RUN dotnet publish -c Release -o out # Build runtime image FROM mcr.microsoft.com/dotnet/aspnet:6.0 WORKDIR /app # Enable TLS 1.0 RUN sed -i 's/DEFAULT@SECLEVEL=2/DEFAULT@SECLEVEL=1/g' /etc/ssl/openssl.cnf RUN sed -i 's/MinProtocol = TLSv1.2/MinProtocol = TLSv1/g' /etc/ssl/openssl.cnf RUN sed -i 's/DEFAULT@SECLEVEL=2/DEFAULT@
