Apache httpd "combined" format logfile extractor. Not well documented yet, but it's got logical AND, OR, NOT expressions, with the variables constituting field string matches. Something like:

combined -L -e 'ipaddr~/10\..*/ && method=/GET/' access.log

An HTTP mock server with a UI dashboard for changing responses on the fly. For example, for testing retries.

Working on https://greatreads.dev/

A place to aggregate and find articles from developers' blogs. Right now, I'm building a submission form for people to submit new sources.

There is also a way to search for articles using vectors, it's called "Semantic Search". So basically you can ask, for example, "Postgresql and how to best optimize it." and it would search for articles touching that subject, or at least related to it.

I've been slowly adding new sources to the website. Any suggestions would be great. It has about 300 sources at the moment.
