From end of last year to July this year I wrote my master thesis titled "Network Function Offloading in Virtualized Environments".

After finishing my master thesis back in July and a busy Summer working, I will now spent the next weeks in South America.

2 years and 7 months ago I wrote How to not write a Bachelor Thesis.

I decided it is time for a new design for this site.

For my master thesis I am working with eBPF, the Extended Berkeley Packet Filter.

Last year I summarized my year in a long blog post, and I did the same the year before as well.

In the previous post I explained how to initially setup a split driver for Xen with the backend in dom0 and the frontend in a domU.

Recently I began working on my master thesis.

This post is a tiny bit late, but better late than never.

From time to time I try to write a piece of code or port some existing library or application just for fun.

Last monday I attended the Rust Sthlm Meetup and gave a talk about using Rust for web development.

Today, right after finishing my only lecture of the day, I rented a longboard at a local skate shop and then took the bus out of the city.

… because mine didn't.

One of the strength of the Rust ecosystem is its package manager Cargo and the package system crates.io.

It became quite popular to store certain configuration variables in your environment, to be later loaded by your aplication.

For one of my projects I need to access the GitHub API to create releases.

Last year I summarized my year in a long blog post, and with 2015 being nearly over here comes this year's version.

Last Monday the Redis Dev Day took place in London, followed by a small Unconference on Tuesday.

Update 2018-07-01: This article was updated in 2018 and is now available as documentation in the iso8601 repository.

In the last week there were several questions regarding Redis Sentinel and Redis Cluster, if one or the other will go away or if they need to be used in combination.

Back in 2011 I got a Kindle 4 (the non-touch version) and for some time it was the primary device for reading, be it ebooks, technical documentation or slides and transcripts from university.

I just published hiredis-py v0.2.0 to PyPi and hiredis-node v0.3.0 to npm.

Two weeks ago I got my first Universal Second Factor Device.

So yesterday I gave a Rust introduction talk at the local hackerspace, CCCAC.

Back in December 2014 antirez reached out to the community, to find a new maintainer of hiredis.

Ever since I started looking into Rust I knew I needed a bigger project for which I could use it.

My year in numbers Important things first: I got about 12 new T-Shirts for my collection (I didn't count them).

Don't care for all the stuff of my childhood?

In the mid of October I was approached by Packt Publishing asking if I would be willing to review a newly released eBook called Redis Applied Design Patterns by Arun Chinnachamy.

In the last four months I did not produce much open-source code.

Last week I had the opportunity to spend a long weekend in the beautiful capital of Germany for jsfest.berlin.

tl;dr: Rust code for the SIMPLE language available in a git-repo.

Great short video documentation of eurucamp 2014 (by @polarblau): eurucamp 2014 from Polarblau on Vimeo.

Warning: If you patch your Redis as stated below, you won't get much support from the Community.

2 month ago I coached at OpenTechSchool's HTML & CSS for Absolute Beginners workshop.

Back in 2012 Jonathan Perkin wrote a little bit about SmartOS and the global zone, why and what in SmartOS is mounted read-only.

In Six Ways to Make Your Production Logs More Useful @roidrage talked about how to make your logs much more useful.

Last weekend (29./30.03.)

At work we're using SmartOS, an Open Solaris clone featuring all kinds of cool stuff.

With Beta 2 of Redis Cluster arriving soon released just now, I finally found some time to play around with it.

So I got this Chromebook in Developer Mode and wanted to set a root password to atleast protect it a little.

One week ago I purchased a Chromebook.

Ever had multiple slide sets, e.g. from a lecture, and you needed an overview to print out?

tl;dr: Load the correct module: sudo modprobe vboxnetadp I recently came across an article about LXC, Exploring LXC Networking, which used Vagrant to get a development machine up and running.

At the end of last year I was once again in Hamburg, this year for the 30th Chaos Communication Congress.

Sometime ago I created the redis-faq, a small list of common or not so common questions coming up in the #redis channel on freenode.

Another post of the category "better write it down before you forget it".

I make heavy use of of hooks in git, especially post-receive, to do different kind of things (deploying the blog, running some scripts, updating some checked out repos).
