TL;DR: press: fn + ctrl + option + delete

In my current company coworkers need to change their password every 6 Months. Which does not improve the security of the company but it's still there.
The problem: Our developer computers are in a complete independent network, to access our company network we can only use a VPN and a remote desktop client to a virtual Windows machine. Problem is i recently got a mac and needed to change my password in the remote desktop session, but every settings ui is currently blocked. Therefore i needed to press ctrl + alt + del to access the password change ui. But my mac keyboard does not have a dedicated delete button.
The solution:
fn + ctrl + option + delete

must be used instead.

Debugging gradle plugins

I recently had issues using the axion-release-plugin and wanted to debug the gradle plugin. But all manuals which you can find via google here or here failed because the argument --no-deamon was unknown.

After some digging in the gradle documentation, if found that Dorg.gradle.daemon=false can be used instead.

So to debug your gradle task from a plugin:

Clone the code of the gradle plugin in the specific version of use.
Ensure the plugin code is recognized as source code by your IDE. Maybe you need to start gradle sync or import the project
In your project run ./gradlew myTaskToDebug -Dorg.gradle.debug=true -Dorg.gradle.daemon=false --stacktrace the --stacktrace is optional
Add a remote debug run configuration in your Intellij to the gradle plugin project configuration for the port 5005

4.Set your breakpoint in the plugin code
5.Run your new configuration as debug
6.Happy debugging
