I built confcrypt to encrypt sensitive values in config files – hostnames, usernames, URLs stay readable. Makes reviewing configs and debugging much easier than tools that encrypt …

There's also RoadRunner, a more PHP like alternative to FrankenPHP: https://roadrunner.dev/

Just from the headline, this reminds me of Microsoft Windows in the 1990s that came with it's on interpretation of JavaScript (aka "we have implemented some JavaScript like stuff t…

Question is if this extension detects having changed owners itself? Maybe something else, not an extension, would be better suited for that kind of check, although of course more c…

the problem is that most people do not monitor heavy use of TXT records; it's rather A/AAAA resolves in my experience. but most production system i've seen allow all outgoing traff…

Fully agree, but I doubt this is not the reality we live in... ;-)

I guess you're the audience they're targeting with this nerdy content :-) I can also lightly smile but give this to a 20 or 30 year old person. They won't understand it.

Nothing is wrong with 1995 and I really liked the time when content was king. But younger people looking at Times New Roman websites is like telling them 'use man pages'. I think G…

"*Note: The custom script allows us to interact with the Twitter API while circumventing the nonfree JS that is sent to the Web browser. For viewing replies and retweeting posts, w…

That's exactly what I think about RMS, FSF and GNU. I'm mostly working with younger people (like 20-30 years old) and well, they don't really know what GNU or the FSF is. As a Linu…

I think the same is true for Debian Linux. Small and comes with a lot of packages that are only an "apt install" away. I only install packages that I need an check that nothing els…

For servers I'm exclusively using Debian for 20 years and there was literally never a problem while upgrading from one release to another. Of course there were hickups with package…

Honest question: Why choose BSD over Linux? I've worked/played around with BSD back in the 90s and actually never looked back. Tried it here and there within the last 20 years but …

Exactly. I'm not a super-expert in Node.js but worked a lot with it and also know a lot of internals. And I can definitely say: IO speed is pretty good. To be honest, I've never co…

Looks like the situation improved a bit: https://cryptography.rs/ I would still like to have a more comprehensive or high level stdlib for Rust that is maintained by a core Rust te…

I was evaluating Rust for some cryptography use case and there were only "random" community libs available that lacked support here and there. And I actually had no trust in any of…

Go has one of the best stdlib I've come across. It's very well written and documented, the code is extraordinarily clean and easy to understand, even for advanced topics like crypt…

And you can even beat this by using Golang's own net library and a pool (but not messing around with an own event loop): https://github.com/maurice2k/tcpserver

We're currently deploying a bigger Asterisk PBX setup using SIP only and ARI API. And there are so many bugs that I'm wondering if Asterisk is really mature enough (despite it's ag…

I'm running ~600k to ~800k chrome sessions a day, each in a new browser process (no tabs/pages) because of cookie interferences. The magic is hidden in chrome's command line parame…
