RFID is complex but It’s also fun. Personally I find this technology to be a bit underutilized. I’d like to explain it in a simple way so you don’t have to do the “wait, what?” through the many, many documentation PDFs. I hope to give you some confidence and maybe inspire you to do something fun with RFID. My experience is that you either grab the cheapest, most popular MFRC522 based RFID reader and hook it up to Arduino or you go deep ..

Simply put, Cybersecurity is an umbrella term that encompasses all aspects of computer, network and data security. While Cybersecurity-specific job roles are commonplace in larger organizations, smaller organizations often require that existing IT roles perform Cybersecurity-specific tasks. And since Cybersecurity is only going to grow in importance over time, anyone working in IT should have a solid knowledge of it. So what does Cybersecu..

TIL that you can pass variables to Ansible’s import_playbook module

Using Ansible’s import_playbook module I was always under the impression that the module accepts no parameters and boldly stated so ! However another commentor helpfully pointed out that I was wrong. Here’s an example. The first playbook (importer_playbook.yml): - import_playbook: imported-playbook.yml vars: foo: hunter2 … simply imports a second playbook (imported_playbook.yml): - hosts: localhost tasks: - debug: var: foo R..

Hammerspoon is a macOS automation framework that allows you to hook into all sort of OS interfaces using Lua scripts. People use it for all sorts of automations, with key remappings and quick window switchers being the most common applications. There are some crazier applications like using voice to control scroll bars! I’m going to describe some ways I use it that are uncommon. Reducing procrastination I often run build steps or unit tests..

I am very late to the party, but today I learned that the good old dotnet SmptClient is considered obsolete and should not be used. Quoting the documentation: We don’t recommend using the SmtpClient class for new development because SmtpClient doesn’t support many modern protocols. Use MailKit or other libraries instead. ( source ) Interestingly, Microsoft is recommending a third-party open-source library as an alternative. I hope we..

One of the popular problems in time series analysis is estimating the moving “average” value. Let’s define the “average” as a central tendency metric like the mean or the median. When we talk about the moving value, we assume that we are interested in the average value “at the end” of the time series instead of the average of all available observations. One of the most straightforward approaches to estimate the moving average is the simp....

I have credit freezes put on my credit records with all 3 US credit reporting companies. These are supposed to help a little with identity theft, but the UI surrounding them makes for a very bad experience. The way it works, one places a freeze at each company, but then one is expected to know in advance when a credit check is going to happen and temporarily lift the freeze! This almost always causes friction.

This episode is about lowering the bar, and I'm tempted to just say go do it and sign off. That would be the ultimate lowering the bar for this podcast. I won't do that, but I am going to keep the bar on this episode pretty low. And, you're probably thinking -- Lou, I thought the bar for Write While True episodes was pretty low already.

WFH Day 414 Unbelievable, but it’s already May of 2021! Time flies like crazy, and we are in month 15 of the pandemic. It looks like the US is speeding up things a lot, and people get vaccinated in large quantities. I got my vaccine three weeks ago. This upcoming Thursday, I’ll receive my 2nd shot, and then I should be fully vaccinated two weeks later. The situation is not so great in Germany. Everything goes so slowly, and they are techni....
