VulpineCitrus - Blog

i don’t think i need to explain to you, dear reader, why web massive web scraping is a pain in the ass.

Pagers used to be all the rage in the late 80s, 90s and early 2000s.

Hey!

In August 2024, one of my roommates and partners messaged the apartment group chat, saying she noticed the internet was slow again at our place, and my forgejo was unable to render any page in under 15 seconds. i investigated, thinking it would be a trivi…

i feel like it’s obligatory, at some point, on any blog that talks about tech, to have a post that goes “oh here’s how i deploy it by the way”.

Usage of the radio spectrum is very tightly regulated.

Too Long, Won't Read Add rtl,bias=1 in the device arguments.

i was recently having a discussion online about different perspectives on signals.

After i received the kit i ordered, i fiddled around with software, eventually figuring out i would install SDR++ (though SDR# and sdrangel are also good picks).

i wanted to write a little something about the books i am currently reading (as of January 2025), both technical and fiction.

Recently i published the first of a series of posts on radio listening, and while this is not technically part 2 yet, i figured something out that is quite important to my workflow of recording and then processing radio input. i own a RTL SDR Blog V4 dong…

In the late 2000s, when i was a wee child, my parents brought me along to the big yard sale organized in the tiny town my grandparents lived in.

First, the context.

Occasionally, I have to re-install a kernel and its modules.

I am a PhD student.

Some time in the summer this year I started noticing that memory usage would become very high after a while.

I am mostly writing this as a self memo for how to use git-send-email, and by extension git-format-patch and git-am, to share patches, patchsets, and apply them.

So, it has come to this again, uh?

Recently I had the unfortunate displeasure of having to move my vacation dates because of a certain pandemic that, despite the silence of our health authorities, is still ongoing and impacting people.

You may be more used to reading things related to technology on this website, and you might be thinking to yourself “well this ain’t it, chief”.

Note: I originally wrote this as a message in the RFL Zulip chat answering a question from someone who asked about ways to handle function points in Rust for Linux, especially in the context of net, where we do it quite often.

In order to share some of the things I’ve been doing over Rust for Linux, I decided I would start a small series of tiny posts that demystify and detail very simple operations that can be confusing when doing development for RFL. ## Rust Features Rust fea…

A friend and I were out editing for OpenStreetMap, and we wondered how we could tweak an existing open changeset.

Recently, a new Debian happened.

You may find it dirty.

After 3 years of using Hexo as my Content Management System for VulpineCitrus, I have finally decided to adopt a more complex system.

I like messing things up in networks.

I have been using Rust on and off for the past five years or so, first picking it up around the time release 1.0 dropped.

This post is mostly a story about my new VM server setup.

This year, like the last, I participated in Advent of Code, an online event where a new algorithmics puzzle is unlocked every day of december before and on the 25th.

I have recently had the pleasure to acquire a new piece of equipment for one of the servers that I manage in one of our university clubs.

The monitoring stack in my home network depends on a lot of pieces of software all configured to be up and ready every time I have to reboot the gateway (a 8GiB Raspberry Pi 4).

I’m coming close to a year of VulpineCitrus being up and running, and over the course of a year it has been a tremendously useful tool for me to deploy so many services that have changed my (and to an extent others’) daily routines.

A few days ago, I launched a website called “Vulpine Citrus”, meant to act as my front end with the rest of the world.

This is the official launch of Vulpine Citrus, my own personal web site!

A few years ago, my journey into coding led me to the dark alleys of GNU Assembly.
