I do some volunteer sysadmining for a local non-profit, mostly network management and related things. Between there, and my home setup, I have gradually moved from defaulting to Ubuntu back towards FreeBSD over the last year. Nothing wrong with Ubuntu, but I kept finding FreeBSD to simply be a little bit easier and a lot better documented . For a dev box, I'll stick with linux—all the tooling optimizes there first, in particular the contai....

A few weeks ago there was a meme floating around about if you spend using a physical $50 bill, it will remain a fifty dollar bill. But if you spend that same fifty bucks with a credit card - that fifty bucks gets whittled away by credit card processing fees and bank fees and just because fees.

Part two When it comes to writing, if I can’t keep things concise, I like to keep them entertaining. Unfortunately childhood bullying doesn’t lend itself well to either of these goals, much more when it remains such a raw topic to me. Whilst I’ve already dedicated two posts to the topic, I still have a few things which I either failed to mention, or felt didn’t fit in with either post. With it being a few days since I powered through w....

I've been trying out a relatively new config file format called KDL . It's pronounced "cuddle" and here's a very quick run-down of what it's for and why I find it worth experimenting with. It's a general purpose data language that feels mostly like a blend of JSON, command line, and XML. So it would be useable for use cases including configuration files, data interchange, and data storage, but so far I've only been considering it for the u....

Phew, that’s a lot of Is. The terms like Digital Public Infrastructure (DPI) and Digital Public Goods (DPG) have been used liberally at the G20 summit, and UPI is India’s poster child for all of this. This post will be a summary of a rabbit hole I dug about UPI, NPCI, and other things. NPCI is the National Payments Corporation of India which is legally a non-profit controlled and funded by the RBI and a bunch of (mostly public) banks.

I keep fielding this question in private, so I finally decided to answer it in public: “What SANS courses should I take?” Although I have a much longer answer to give about training in general, this article answers that specific question based on my own personal experience, having taken several SANS courses over the years.

Note to self, I needed to migrate/re-encrypt someone's password store (aka pass). Straightforward: Get the new key, probably already in gpg key chain. Try listing it: gpg --list-keys To re-encrypt, pass init with new key is enough. It'll prompt for old pass key. cd path/to/.password-store pass init NEW-GPG-KEY

Heute nutze ich KI für so viele Dinge: Ich google keine Fragen mehr, es wird ChatGPT gefragt Github Copilot schreibt Code bevor ich weiß was ich ..

I often work with JSON responses and need to process, view or compare objects. I have come to depend on a bunch of command line tools for these tasks. Do you use any other tools? Let me know in comments below. View (bat) # bat (better cousin of cat) is perfect for reading syntax highlighted JSON. It’ll use a pager for files that don’t fit on the screen and files can be searched by using the / operator.
