I remember the good times, when I had a single password for all (the two?)

A few years ago I began using Emacs Org-mode and reveal.js to generate slide decks I use in trainings, and I’ve been pleased with the results.

LeoMoon Wiki-Go calls itself a modern, feature-rich, databaseless, flat-file wiki platform built with Go, and it is all that.

If all you have is a hammer … It occurs to me that we can deploy SSH host keys and their certificates to nodes using Ansible, as it has two existing modules we can use for the task: community.crypto.openssh_keypair generates OpenSSH private public key pai…

When I ssh into a server for the first time, I’m confronted with a dialog which asks me to verify I’m actually talking to the machine I expect to be talking to. $ ssh -l jp 192.0.2.65 The authenticity of host '192.0.2.65 (192.0.2.65)' can't be established.

When I first wrote about discovering Netbox DNS I mentioned that the combination of Netbox and the DNS plugin don’t actually create a DNS server and zone transfers directly from Netbox are thus impossible.

It is the year 2021, and I use an Albert Heijn shopping bag, one of the old ones obtained years earlier, when the ultimate nightmare occurs: upon leaving the supermarket I hear a ripping sound and the side of the bag tears open.

I need to generate TSIG key files for a DNS server using Ansible, and while I could use something like the community.general.random_string lookup, due to Ansible’s lazy evaluation of lookups, using that in a vars would cause the lookup to be re-evaluated…

I’ve been looking a bit more closely at Semaphore UI and was curious how secrets I can configure for it are stored.

Three years ago, a friend of mine purchased a server (one of those horrendously loud things most of us mere mortals thankfully seldom or never get to hear) from a hosting company.
