Greetings from sunny Berlin! Yes, it’s still 20+ °C here – perfect conditions for sitting down on your balcony with the latest issue of your favorite Annotated! I’m Pasha Finkelshteyn, and I’ll be your guide through this month’s news. I’ll offer my impressions of recent developments in the data engineering space and highlight new ideas […]

I’ve found myself hitting ctrl+f on this blog enough that I figured it’s about time to add some search functionality to it. While there are certainly prefab solutions out there, this task is simple enough and fairly instructive. I had a few requirements, though: The search needs to be fast, useful, and aesthetically pleasing. Search in the browser. Standing up a server is a lot of extra work. It’s also overkill since I only have about 30 ..

Trying something new here today. With the recent Twitter fiasco going on I started re-evaluating what I get out of using social media, and condensed it down into two things: I like watching awful people argue with each other I like keeping up with what my friends are up to, and tell them what I’m up to. Number two is the important one here - I only care about particular things my friends are into. The important stuff - babies being bo..

When App Insights Java agent is added to the Spring Boot application with Actuator liveness / readiness endpoints enabled, it will log all probe requests done by Kubernetes to App Insights. Luckily, there is an option now to remove those logs without touching the application code.

GitHub Sponsors expanded to over 30 new regions this year, Abigail Cabunoc Mayes chatted with three developers from India, Brazil and Egypt about building careers in open source.

SSH certificates allow system administrators to SSH into machines without having to manage authorized keys in the servers.

Now that we know how device booting works , let’s try to extract some parts from the firmware that we downloaded in Part 1 of our series. Here, we are interested in two main sections: the Linux kernel (which takes care of booting the device services) and the flattened device tree (which allows the kernel to know the hardware configuration a priori without inspecting each device). -Continue to read the article on SerHack.me

At SnykLaunch, our product leaders unveiled the latest additions to Snyk's suite of developer-first products — including the announcement of Snyk Cloud. In this SnykLaunch recap, we'll catch you up on the new and exciting features coming to Snyk.

New Service, Libmedium - vern.cc - 3 years ago - eng
New Service, Libmedium ~aryak Thu, 08 Nov 2022 A few days ago, I deployed Libmedium, another privacy frontend for medium! Why libmedium instead of scribe? It proxies a lot more, including github gists and it uses the undocumented medium api. Scribe will continue to stay as another frontend on ~vern, needless to say. Thank you for being a part of ~vern.

New Service, Little Link Custom ~aryak Thu, 08 Nov 2022 A few days ago, I deployed LittleLink Custom, a linktree alternative on ~vern LittleLink Custom allows you to create a personal profile page. Many platforms only allow for one link on your profile. With LittleLink Custom, you can have all the links you want clickable on one site. Littlelink Custom makes use of Sign-Up seperate from the registration form. Thank you for b..

New Service, Matrix.to - vern.cc - 3 years ago - eng
New Service, Matrix.to ~cobra Tue, 08 Nov 2022 Just recently, I set up Matrix.to on ~vern. I did this because most people use matrix.to, Matrix.org’s instance of Matrix.to. This, sadly, centralizes Matrix even more. We also had our Matrix clients use mto.vern.cc instead of matrix.to, so that our users can easily avoid the centralization of Matrix. Thank you for being a part of ~vern.

~vern PGP key list - vern.cc - 3 years ago - eng
vern PGP key list ~cobra Tue, 08 Nov 2022 ~vern members can now place their PGP keys in ~/.pgp.asc and have it appear on vern.cc/p/user.asc. There is also an HTML list at vern.cc/p/, and a plaintext list available at vern.cc/p/list if you want to make a script to import them. Thank you for being a part of ~vern.

New Service, ProxiTok - vern.cc - 3 years ago - eng
New Service, ProxiTok ~cobra Tue, 08 Nov 2022 A couple of weeks ago, I deployed ProxiTok against Arya’s wishes. ProxiTok is a privacy-respecting front-end for TikTok. Arya doesn’t like TikTok, enough to the point that he was against setting up ProxiTok, but I did it anyways. So now you can watch people dancing (or something, I don’t know what’s on TikTok) while keeping your privacy. Thank you for being a part of ~vern.

New Service, Simplelogin ~aryak Thu, 08 Nov 2022 A couple weeks ago, we deployed simplelogin on our newly purchased iceberg linode. With simplelogin, you can have unlimited email aliases to send and recieve mails anonymously. Due to mail reputation concerns, this service will be on request. By default, all users get premium features. Do not be worried by the popup you might get asking you to upgrade. Thank you for being a pa..

We now have user sockets! ~aryak Tue, 08 Nov 2022 Hi, Me and ~cobra finally finished/fixed user socket support on the pubnix! With this, you can now host any sort of webapp on the unix domain socket ~/.webserver.sock and it will be rendered on *-user.vern.cc Most webservers like NginX and Caddy have support for binding to Unix Domain Sockets too! We have a growing amount of examples in the wiki page for usersites . I woul..

New Service, Vaultwarden ~aryak Thu, 08 Nov 2022 Today I setup Vaultwarden (previously Bitwarden-RS), a bitwarden server for ~vern. With this we have a bitwarden server to host passwords, which will be the primary way for ~vern passwords to be shared between us three. We hope that this helps more people start using password manages and secure their logins better! Thank you for being a part of ~vern.

New Service, YaCy - vern.cc - 3 years ago - eng
New Service, YaCy ~cobra Tue, 08 Nov 2022 A few days ago, I set up three YaCy instances on ~vern. YaCy is a distributed search engine built on the principles of peer-to-peer (P2P) networks. The reason there are three instances is for onion, I2P, and clearnet; I wouldn’t want to have I2P and onion results when I’m on a clearnet browser. The only YaCy instance that is connected to other peers is the clearnet one, because I couldn’..

So you're building serverless applications with Microsoft Azure Functions, but you need to persist data to a database. What do you do about controlling the number of concurrent connections to your dat... The post Getting Started with MongoDB Atlas and Azure Functions using Node.js appeared first on Microsoft .

In this post, I intend to unveil npm security practices and tooling available for you as a JavaScript developer (TypeScript developers are welcome too).

In September, we announced our new low-cost Eco dynos plan and Mini plans for Heroku Postgres and Heroku Data for Redis®. The time has come! These plans are available today for new and existing applications. For customers paying by credit or debit card, the Eco dynos and Mini data plans are free until November 30th, […] The post Eco and Mini Plans Now Generally Available appeared first on Heroku .

In the previous post , we obtained the finite-sample Gaussian efficiency values of the sample median and the Harrell-Davis median. In this post, we extended these results and get the finite-sample Gaussian efficiency values of the trimmed Harrell-Davis median estimator based on the highest density interval of the width $1/\sqrt{n}$ .

Author's from Accenture and Google Cloud recently released a white paper, which details the current state of ransomware and solutions to address this growing problem. This article will provide an overview of the key points from the white paper.

Nerdy prelude. Local Bulletin Board Systems (BBS) were all the range when I was a teenager. With my group of local hackers, we hacked our way into ITAPAC, the then-leading Italian packet-switching network (we are talking pre-Internet era here.) Via ITAPAC, we’d connect to so-called “out-dial systems” in the USA. From one of those, we’d finally call our target BBSes with a local call at no cost. We felt so invincible! I signed up on Channel..

This is an idea I’ve seen repeated before. I need to push back on it. Assistive technology (AT) interfaces with an operating system’s accessibility APIs. A browser converts the Document Object Model (DOM) into an assistive tree, and sends that to the OS accessibility API. Now, some screen readers actually do hook into the browser; NVDA does this with Firefox and Chromium. But this isn’t always the case. ATs need to crawl an accessibilit..

Progressive enhancement is a wonderful thing. I try to make sites usable in browsers of that era (with a TLS terminator) despite using several HTML 5 and bleeding-edge CSS features. Every feature possible should be progressive. Here’s the compatibility statement for seirdy.one I’m not asking anything too radical: when you want to use a feature, just try to make support optional. If there are two ways to do something, have a bias towar..

Some time ago I wrote about creating leet speak guid’s as a way of having fun while working with sitecore. https://boyter.org/2014/05/unique-guid/ I recently realised I wanted to have this around so I could create more interesting guids for one reason or another, but couldn’t find the script I was using back then. So I created it again, and its now on github as a gist for myself and anyone else to use https://gist.github.com/boyter/6f5..

Wikipedia cites a few different sources on what “Unix Philosophy” is. Peter Salus summarizes it as: Write programs that do one thing and do it well. Write programs to work together. Write programs to handle text streams, because that is a universal interface. That second bullet point is my favorite: making composable programs rather than monolithic systems. In this way, Unix is designed to be a forge for easily building new tools.....



I get my best ideas when I’m not working. This seems paradoxical, but past a point, the more I work on a project the slower it seems to go. I’ll find changes to do, but lose any sort of vision. If I’m not programming at all, I rarely get good ideas as well. There appears to be some magic stoichiometric mixture where I work on a project for a while, then force myself to take a break somewhere far away from any keyword for a day or two,..

Mastodon is a decentralized, federated social network technology. With Twitter recently realizing its investor’s goals via an — unorthodox — sale to a wealthy entrepreneur and industrial scion with hard-right-leaning values, many people have wondered whether the platform will remain a useful or habitable place. Mastodon has been suggested as a possible Twitter replacement, and I’ve been trying to understand what, and more important where, M..
