Securing api endpoints with different access and authorization policies with the help of a reverse proxy (traefik) and a policy enforcement gateway (OAP).

Can be used for all sorts of authorizations and validifications of credentials and policy configuration language called Rego.

Using S3 as a simple filesystem extension

Below is an excerpt from man apt-get. Using upgrade keeps to the rule: under no circumstances are currently installed packages removed, or packages not already installed retrieved and installed. If that's important to you, use apt-get upgrade. If you want things to "just work", you probably want apt-get dist-upgrade to ensure dependencies are resolved.

🎶 a fast and simple multimedia fileserver.

Can host all sorts of files, but includes (markdown) text editor, image viewer, video/audio player, etc.

Can be used to have multi-account set-up, read-only directories and a couple more things

Basic idea of using GitHub issues as a commenting system for a blog.

This only includes a link to the respective issue on GitHub itself, where people can read and write comments.

It could conceivably be extended using the GitHub API to include the comments from github on the blog page itself, and either allow commenting straight from there or provide a link to the actual issue page on github to write the comments
(in effect emulating a readwrite permission on the post, or a readonly permission)

Storing passwords is a pretty simple problem in software development, right? Wrong! Storing passwords correctly is pretty complicated. With that said, it’s very simple to just lean on work someone else has done, and the libraries available for your language of choice.

Interesting writeup of password storing strategies and pitfalls.

Wireguard is an open-source cross-platform VPN implementation that uses state of the art cryptography. It is faster, simpler and more functional than ...

Keycloak and Nextcloud are both popular open source software. The first is an identity provider and broker, the second one is collaboration platform. Instead of having multiple accounts on several online platforms, you want to have one identity and log into multiple platforms. This is the job of the OpenID Connect protocol and is supported by Keycloak. In this guide I walk you through the steps of connecting Nextcloud with Keycloak to support a seamless single sign-on experience.

How to find out why an unmount failed -- see programs using current file / directory with lsof

This video is about Linux Swap and the different kinds of swap that exist. This shows you how to use swap partitions, swap files, and when not to use them altogether.

(touches kswapd0 cpu problem)

For a more in-depth abstract consideration of when and whether to use swap, see old tech bloke - to swap or not

Artificial Intelligence gives us a uniquely fascinating and clear perspective at the nature of our minds and our relationship to reality. We will discuss perception, mental representation, agency, consciousness, selfhood, and how they can arise in a computational system, like our brain.

An interesting approach to a coherent epistemology of: identity, attention, consciousness, and the universe's state correlations

I would like to generate a random string (e.g. passwords, user names, etc.). It should be possible to specify the needed length (e.g. 13 chars).

head /dev/urandom | tr -dc A-Za-z0-9 | head -c13

where head dictates how many characters you get.
You can then e.g. pipe it into an echo command or into a clipboard program or similar.

Nextcloud is a fantastic system, but it's not your backup. This post will show you how to backup Nextcloud so you can ensure your data is safe.

Backing up locally.

Extraterm is an open source project to build a terminal emulator and expand it with new features to support modern workflows and do more than just act like a glorified teletype.

Can for example re-run the output of previous commands as new commands with some parts of it manually edited - see animation on github page.

Quickly improve the security of your docker containers by following security best practices in the Dockerfile, with static analysis code to catch them.

A dashboard for homelabs. More focused on providing individual services in tabs than just having links to them.

Apparently works well with Authentik SSO authentication.

setting up a wireguard / openvpn vpn on a raspberry. Could be run next to pihole, etc.

Dealing with dynamically changing ips (dyndns, ddns) and opening your little server to the outside.

Advanced finance self-hosted instace.

Can interact with bank statements through web scraping, though I don't know which banks it works for and which do not.

Can be used to create and monitor a budget, several accounts, create charts of in-/outflows, sort by categories, etc.
Looks very promising.

Sequoia is a modular OpenPGP implementation in Rust.

Cross-platform desktop note-taking app. Sticky notes with Markdown and Tabs. All in one .txt file.

Interesting application of txt files to be shown in 'corkboard' view.
Unfortunately packaged as electron app, making ~100kb of actual code into ~200mb of program.

The idea could be used however, for a re-arrangeable corkboard / network view of my personal notes.

Somewhat similar to activitywatch, etc.

Takes snapshots of currently open/active windows and their titles. (By default every 60s, can be more fine-grained.)
Snapshots can then be reviewed and tagged automatically through writing a categorization config file,
e.g. tagging all browser titles with ^.*//scholar.google.com/.*$ as Research, or as Research:Papers, to get even more finegrained.

Allows idle-detection and tagging to remove.

Data can be exported out to .log files or to csv files.

Mostly adequate guide to FP (in javascript).

An open source mapping platform for custom designed maps. Our APIs and SDKs are the building blocks to integrate location into any mobile or web app.

Firefly III: a personal finances manager.

The most beautiful Subsonic client. Sublime Music is a feature-packed native GTK client for Subsonic-compatible servers.

Simple maximizers versus reason-based maximizing.

Considers trust in relationships and how to translate that into metrics and ultimately perhaps approach building reason-based (and inherently trust-based) algorithms

Extended regex options for Lua.

Allows named patterns (grammars), bounded repetition, and more. Allows building complete Abstract Syntax Trees.

Weird (i.e. unusual, non-POSIX) syntax, but useful once grokked. Contains a few very useful examples to better understand the syntax.

Interesting BibTeX manager, could replace Jabref for simple cmd line operations.

Some notable features (mentioned by author):

• vim keys
• search in Crossref (recommended), Google Scholar and search by pdf file's metadata (provided by pdfinfo),
• create sub-libraries from commandline
• automatically / manually manage and rename pdf files based on BibTeX entry that you searched in Step 1
• notes

An Application dashboard and launcher. Contribute to linuxserver

Can be used as a landing page for (home) servers.

I just installed the latest release of docker-ce on CentOS, but I can't reach published ports from a neighboring server and can't reach the outside from the container itself.

CentOS firwalld blocks outgoing docker requests, leading to failing ingress/egress dns resolving.

In my case, disrupted Nextcloud working (since I have external primary object storage configured), as well as outgoing requests from SearX.

💰 Straight-forward budgeting.

A YNAB clone that can be self-hosted. Development has largely ceased, maintenance is on-going.

Hosted plan costs $12/year (for syncing), self-hosting does not have syncing built in (afaict?).
Fork exists at palidanx/financier, adding search and some other niceties.
Small community on reddit.

Front-end built on Angular 1, which reaches eol pretty soon.
