4 years later and I'm still working on ntfy. Trying to make push notifications easy as pie. I would have never thought that it would blow up like this. It's still a lot of fun, and…

Thanks.

I love that you love it. That's why I do it. :-)

My co-worker figured out a way to run the GitHub CLI with read-only keys restricted to specific repos. I need to do that still.

I don't want to isolate the container from the Internet :-) I understand that this is not the safest possible way (exfiltrating is still possible, but I mostly work on open source …

I love how everyone is trying to solve the same problems, and how different the solutions are. I made this little Dockerfile and script that lets me run Claude in a Docker containe…

Oh my bad. I misread your comment. You are doing ZFS on top of dmcrypt, not dmcrypt images/volumes on top of ZFS.

ZFS encryption is much more space efficient than dmcrypt+unencrypted ZFS when combined with zstd compression. This is because it can do compress-then-encrypt instead of encrypt-the…

I love hearing that. Anything worth sharing? I love hearing how people use it. My favorite one is the guy protecting his apple tree from thieves by adding a camera and motion senso…

Disclaimer: I am the ntfy maintainer. Pleasantly surprised to be mentioned, hehe. Pushover is an amazing tool and works well. In my obviously biased opinion though, I think that nt…

Thank you to all the Debian volunteers that make Debian and all its derivatives possible. It's remarkable how many people and businesses have been enabled by your work. Thank you! …

ZFS really shines here with its built-in "zpool scrub" command and checksumming. Even though I am preaching "application consistent backups" in my original comment (because that's …

Ha! I did not expect a reference to `innodb_flush_log_at_trx_commit` here. I wrote a blog post a few years ago about MySQL lossless semi-sync replication [1] and I've had quite eno…

Databases these days are pretty resilient to restoring from crash consistent backups like that, so yes, you'll likely be fine. It's a good enough approach for many cases. But you c…

This strongly depends on your environment and on your RTO/RPO. Sure, there are environments that have automatically deployed, largely stateless servers. Why back them up if you can…

Thank you for sharing. A curious read. I am looking forward to the next post. I've been working on backup and disaster recovery software for 10 years. There's a common phrase in ou…

I read the beginning of the post and it looks quite interesting. I'll read the rest tomorrow when my mind is sharper. I checked my blog and I also wrote a post about some crypto re…

I really enjoyed the book and it certainly helped me, but it's also the only cryptography book I've ever read. I appreciate you challenging my suggestion! I just checked and it has…

I can highly recommend Cryptography Engineering by Bruce Schneier. I read it years ago and to this day it still helps me regularly.

I've used this successfully in the past for Terminator: https://github.com/GratefulTony/TerminatorHostWatch

I was thinking exactly this. I am the maintainer of ntfy.sh and my costs are $0 at the moment because DogotalOcean is paying for it 100% because it is open source. It would be arou…

Fascinating. There are some other interesting repos from the same author, namely https://github.com/pijng/goinject , which lets you inject code as part of preprocessing. Feels a lo…

I wholeheartedly disagree. I think the Stripe docs and developer experience is one of the greatest, if not the greatest, I've ever seen. It has great user docs, API docs, developer…
