This short post shows you how to reset the SYSTEM account password on a single OpenVMS 8.4 ALpha machine via the serial console.

While playing around with the GUI on OpenVMS I was looking for CDE documentation and I found out CDE is still being developed and can be installed on modern linux.

Last year November, I posted on a new OpenVMS related project, AXPbox, the open source Alpha emulator, a fork of es40 by Tomáš Glozar.

This is a short personal rant to start the new year off.

I recently wondered how many top posts on the Hacker News frontpage are also on Lobsters.

This is a shell script that creates a webpage with the status of HTTP(s) sites.

For a small personal project that talks to a few JSON API's and does some data parsing I needed a header only C++ HTTP library.

I hate snaps just as much as the next guy but last week I did something unexpected.

Due to all the working-from-home in the past few months I had to setup a live stream.

In my previous article I announced the fork of the `es40` emulator to `AXPbox` by Tomáš including bug fixes and rework allowing it to install OpenVMS 8.4 without problems.

Back in 2018 I was playing around with OpenVMS a lot, as it continues on the legacy of the PDP-8 and PDP-11.

Five years ago I made a website that allowed you to put in a few domains and get an email when the SSL certificate was about to expire.

Inspired by recent articles from Kev Quirk, Horst Gutmann and Jan-Lukas where they do a cost breakdown of their sites, I decided to do one as well.

'Google Photos' no longer syncs with 'Google Drive' or with their 'Backup and Sync' desktop software.

With all the video calling nowdays due to working from home I decided to get a webcam.

After updating-by-reinstall to Ubuntu 20.04, I installed CLion via snap since that seemed more convinient than manually downloading a java installation.

The recent twitter hack involved social engineering and access to the twitter backend.

Here's a small snippet to remove leading or trailing characters from a std::string in C++.

As you might have noticed, I'm slowly updating servers and workstations to Ubuntu 20.04, and as always with major upgrades, things break or are removed.

Ubuntu 20.04 dropped the Pygopherd package.

The QR-Code-Generator library by Project Nayuki for C++ gives you an easy, fast and correct way to generate QR codes.

For a personal project I use Github for source code hosting and Github Actions as an automated build and test tool.

The title of this article says enough.

Recently I had a new 'first-time' moment.

For an unrelated piece of code, I recently spent a few days trying to figure out if there was a portable, modern C++ way to handle user input with a timeout.

This guide will show you how to set up a personal Wireguard VPN server on Debian or Ubuntu with Freedombox.

FreedomBox is a private server for non-experts: it lets you install and configure server applications with only a few clicks.
