My previous post covered how to build your own wood arrows and in this follow-up post I will show you how to build your own carbon arrows (with a little twist for compound bow carbon arrows).

After a very stressful year I finally found some time to finish my building my own arrows posts for wood and carbon arrows.

In this part of the Learning Rust series I read about structs, enums, and pattern matching.

A few days have been passed since the last post in this series.

I always had the goal to learn Rust, the programming language.

What you do not smell is called iocaine powder.

As the year comes to an end, this post will take a look at the state of PHP in 2026.

I came across GNU Stow as a way of organising dotfiles in an interview between Matt from The Linux Cast and Linkarzu on YouTube: Matt from The Linux Cast on macOS, NixOS, Emacs & More.

I’ve taken up archery again!

I had planned to write a post about self-hosting a while ago, but now feels like the right time.

Wow!

In this post, we will implement solid but naive event sourcing from the ground up within a PHP Symfony project.

How do we store our application’s data?

In this article I will explain how FIDO2, an open standard, works and how it is commonly implemented using physical security keys in the form of USB A or C sticks or just your smartphone.

The question is not whether you or your organisation will be hacked, but how prepared you are and how you will react.

In my previous post Docker + ufw: When convenience turns into a security risk, I described how my VPS was attacked with a DoS, enabled by Docker’s default behaviour of exposing ports and ignoring the firewall (ufw).

My personal blog runs on a basic VPS running Ubuntu.

A few weeks ago, while I was doing the dishes or folding the laundry (I can’t really remember what I was doing), I was scrolling through my YouTube home screen, hunting for fresh educational content for software developers, as I always do, when I am clean…

HTMX, a simple and powerful library for AJAX1, CSS2 transitions, WebSockets, and server-sent events directly in HTML3, via attributes.

Since the release of the Go language, there has been a new tool, the defer keyword, to ensure that certain code is executed when a function is exited.

Most developers today have a more or less good definition of microservices in their head.

foo, bar, foobar, John Doe – who doesn’t know them?

Testing should be a big part of our daily work routine as a software developer, which is the reason for this article.

Input and output are probably the most frequently occurring tasks within a program and are therefore important modules of a programming language.

Go is a trending new programming language to build simple, efficient and reliable software solutions.
