New Service, Hyperpipe ~cobra Sun, 25 Dec 2022 Today, I installed Hyperpipe on ~vern. Hyperpipe is a YouTube Music front-end similar to BeatBump, but it uses Piped as part of its backend, and proxies all connections to Google. I’ve wanted to deploy it for a while, but we hadn’t had a Piped instance to use as the backend. Currently, we use an external proxy because of bandwidth limitations. Sadly, this proxy is behind a Cloudflare ..

New Service, v.Nu ~cobra Sun, 25 Dec 2022 I just deployed v.Nu on ~vern. The Nu HTML validator is an HTML, CSS, and SVG validator. We use it on ~vern’s website in order to make sure that our site is compliant with the HTML standard. Many existing instances of the Nu HTML validator are behind a Cloudflare MiTM, so I wanted to host it on ~vern. Thank you for being a part of our community.

Comment systems are an essential part of modern websites, providing a platform for users to engage with the content and share their thoughts and opinions. While there are many options available for adding commenting functionality to a website, one alternative worth considering is integrating a Mastodon thread, also known as a “toot.” Mastodon is an open-source, decentralized social media platform that allows users to share text, images, a....

This year I discovered the profound joy of giving toys to a little girl. Our daughter is beginning to babble and walk, and nothing has brought me more happiness than playing with her and watching her grow in her capabilities. She's still young enough that she has no clue as to what is going on, but she did like getting some new toys wrapped in paper and bows! Christmas is so much better giving presents to your kids than it is getting presen....

The find command accepts and -exec argument, allowing you to pass matching files into an arbitrary command. It's pretty useful, but sometimes you want to be able to have it invoke a custom function, which it can't do without a little bit of tweaking This snippet details how to have find invoke a custom shell function against each matching result, the example uses BASH but the same should be possible with ZSH, DASH, ASH, KSH etc Rea..

Today, my last self-assigned duty before the Christmas break was to migrate our in-house rate-limiting implementation (based on the AspNetCoreRateLimiting third-party package) to the new, shiny rate-limiting middleware introduced by ASP.NET Core 7. While the process was relatively straightforward, I stumbled upon a few quirks I want to annotate here. Our use case is simple. We use what the ASP.NET Core 7 documentation defines as a “fi..

While this post is about programming, it also draws an extended analogy to dungeons and dragons, specifically two of its classes, that correspond to two attitudes toward programming. In D&D, wizards study magic. They prepare their magic spells ahead of time. While they may learn a large number of magic spells, they need to prepare them ahead of time and can’t just cast them at will. Wizard programmers prefer up-front design. They apply ..

A Kubernetes Admission webhook can be an effective way to enforce and apply custom system policies. Admission webhooks are callbacks which allow admission requests (creating or updating a kubernetes resource) to first be forwarded to a custom external service. In the external service, administrators can enforce constraints (Validating Admission Webhook) or apply changes (Mutating Admission Webhook) to their Kubernetes resources. The Pla....

I run Lighthouse and WAVE as a “Hey, let’s see what I have ahead of me” kind of thing. A baseline of sorts. Then I go into manual testing I strongly disagree with running automated tests first if you have the means to do manual tests. People get too hung up on automated tests revealing only N percent of issues; the reality is that they end up encouraging people to spend their time fixing those issues instead of more critical errors. ..

And we must remind ourselves that growth occurs in intervals: there are times of growth, and there are times of non-growth. The latter isn’t a failure so much as a necessary period of rest. Dormancy isn’t stagnant; it’s potentiating. It’s patient. If you’ve grown a lot in the past however many months or years and now feel that growth coming to a close, don’t fret right away. Wait. Reflect on what you’ve learned. Look for signs of spring. Mo..

No-Code tools like Webflow, Bubble, Adalo, etc. are all the rage these days. Despite this I believe they all have a fundamental problem to overcome: if they are simple enough for non-engineers to use they aren't powerful enough but if they are powerful enough they become too complex and a real engineer will most likely just use code instead.

I was going through Tobi’s list of some really cool programming tech and got curious about zstd. Zstandard (also known as zstd) is a Fast real-time compression algorithm from Facebook. What is zstd ? zstd is a “lossless” data compression algorithm Lossless means it can compress data without losing any of the original information. it restores and rebuilds the data in its original form, after decompression. Lossy compression does....

With the update to Python 3.11, we ran into a subtle change in how Enum’s behave. This is thanks to PEP 663 - Standardizing Enum str(), repr(), and format() behaviors . Before Python 3.11 Before Python 3.11, a string enum as shown below would return the value of an entry in the enum when used via format or an f-string but not when implicitly calling __str__(). # Python 3.10 from enum import Enum class F....

Love it, hate it, or don’t want to know nothing about it, I think it’s important to push your opinions aside and understand how this technology works. Even with the current collapse of several large crypto companies in 2022, blockchain isn’t going to disappear. Bitcoin and Ethereum are here to s..
