C# String extension method to fold diacritics to ASCII characters
// IMPORTANT
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Text;
// This gist was created thanks to this comment from Alexander on StackOverflow:
// https://stackoverflow.com/questions/249087/how-do-i-remove-diacritics-accents-from-a-string-in-net#comment86833005_34272324
// This is a derivative work. The logic of this function comes from a switch statement found inside the
// Lucene.Net library. The documentation of the conversion of characters is quite impressive
// (thank you @NightOwl888 and @synhershko !!!):

Auto-starting VirtualBox VMs on MacOS High Sierra

Auto-starting VirtualBox VMs on MacOS High Sierra

Updated May 21/2018

There are lots of different how-tos out there for automatically launching VMs using VirtualBox on MacOS. Most of them focus on older versions of VirtualBox or old versions of MacOS.

Tested using MacOS High Sierra 10.13.4 running VirtualBox 5.2.12. The guest OS is Fedora 28.

Following the instructions on the VirtualBox website (https://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch09.html#autostart), copy the Virtualbox autostart plist template file to your system's LaunchDaemons folder.
