[Read More]The (MVP) making of PodHistory

In this post I share my process for building the MVP for PodHistory, from idea to launched product and what my next steps will be.
[Read More]Since early 2019 the sprig
library used by helm
provides a concat
function that does exactly this.
This is a guide to a simple self organization/task management system I built for myself over the years.
From time to time I showed it to someone and they got some benefits from it, most adapted it to better fit their needs down the line, which is exactly what you should do with any kind of personal task management in my opinion.
[Read More]Go check out their website, it’s incredibly good at explaining itself.
To me, a backend heavy developer, HTMX is the frontend framework I like to use because:
Sometimes you have to do a specific task and you are fully capable of doing it manually, however those tasks are also great to flex your muscles and hack something together.
They can be an excellent tool to sharpen your skills with the tools you use regularly, and improve your quick prototyping skills.
In addition, with a couple of iterations, again sharpening an important skill, you could afterwards create a more general purpose tool from a hacky script.

Given the recent rise in text-based language models, sometimes called AI tools, I wanted to share my thoughts and experiences in using them, especially in the context of blogging.
[Read More]There are many ways to run your own server, from setting up a Raspberry Pi on your desk to renting a physical server at a provider.
In this post, we will focus on setting up a virtual server with DigitalOcean, which is one of the easiest ways to get started.
[Read More]In the world of technology, we are moving further and further away from operating directly on servers, but there are still significant benefits to be gained from running a personal server.
I have been running some kind of personal server for many years now and I strongly believe anyone working in technology can benefit greatly from doing so. Here’s why:
[Read More]In this post I will go over the MVP building phase of Honeypot Login, from idea to launched product and what my next steps will be.
[Read More]The 1Password CLI op
works either in connection with a client app, like on the Mac,
or standalone, useful on a server.
# Login
eval $(op signin)
# Get favorites
op item list --vault "Private" --favorite
# Get a specific item
op item get <ID>
# !! Important: Sign out at the end
op signout
Helpers to more easily work with the op
cli.
1login() {
eval $(op signin)
}
alias 1signout="op signout"
1search() {
term=$1
if [ -n "$2" ]
then
vault="$2"
else
vault="Private"
fi
echo "Searching for '$term' in vaut '$vault'"
op item list --vault "$vault" --long | grep "$term" --ignore-case
}
1get() {
op item get $*
}
Things I do to be a good code reviewee.
[Read More]A simple Python client to interact with ArgoCD.
[Read More]If you use ssh-agent with an encrypted ssh key it does not persist when you open a new terminal window.
Use keychain
instead.
sudo apt install keychain
.bashrc
or .zshrc
# Repeat this line for all keys you want to unlock and use this way
/usr/bin/keychain -q --nogui $HOME/.ssh/id_rsa
source $HOME/.keychain/wsl-sh
Running any kind of personal infrastructure sometimes requires your attention based on certain events or failure states, no matter how much you automate tasks.
Over the years I have used E-Mail, Telegram bots and a variety of other tools for this purpose. However all of them have the drawback that they mix with other kinds of information and are not easilly usable in scripts.
[Read More]Sometimes you may want to commit only the files you have changed and not any newly created files,
this can easily be achieved by this command: git commit -a
