Automount a windows share (via cifs) on Ubuntu-based system
Problem: Need to access Windows share but only when on the company vpn.
- Tried mounting via fstab but the mount failed because I'm not automatically connected to the vpn when logged in
- Created a bash alias that simply mounts the share, the problem is that it's cumbersome to start the vpn then remember to run the mount command.
Autofs is a great option as it will automount that windows share only if I try and access it.
# Has to install it (Linux Mint 19)
sudo apt install autofs
# Opended the "/etc/auto.master" file the install created and added this line:

Get fiddler working on Linux Mint
Download the fiddler app image from Telerik site
Place app image somewhere (I have a folder called "app-images")
Make the app image executable (chmod +x <filename>.appimage)
Run fiddler and enable htttps traffic decryption: Settings => HTTPS => Decrypt Https Traffic
- This will give the option to export a self-signed ssl cert from Fiddler and it will place that in the desktop folder
Add the ssl cert to the system using these instructions: https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?t=256739
I did:
- sudo mkdir /usr/share/ca-certificates/fiddler
- sudo cp ~/Desktop/fiddler.crt /usr/share/ca-certificates/fiddler/fiddler.crt

Avoid unnecessary catch blocks
//Been seeing a lot of this lately in various repos. This is unnecessary because you're simply
//rethrowing the same error that would have been thrown anyway thus rendering your try/catch block useless:
try {
//execute some code..
} catch(error) {
throw error;
}
//The only reason to catch an error is to either handle that error or log it:
try {

Cast app settings from web config in one shot

var appSetting = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings[key];
if (string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(appSetting)) throw new AppSettingNotFoundException(key);

return (T)(converter.ConvertFromInvariantString(appSetting));
