My old Brother printer only does USB, so I turned a spare Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W into a print server for it with CUPS.

How to make the vertical tabs on Firefox's new vertical tabs design more compact.

Yesterday, I was setting up a new Raspberry Pi Zero 2W in my home network.

I recently had to test a web app I was developing on an real mobile phone, so I had to figure out how to (1) run the development server on my computer, and (2) access it from the Android phone I had in my hand.

I love me a great font, and considering that I look at a text editor at least half of the time I'm in front of a computer every day (which is a lot!)

I've been setting up a Paperless-ngx instance on my homelab as part of my 2024 resolution to immerse myself more into managing a baremetal server.

I've been very vocal about wanting to try it out before, but I never got around to it.

Today, I finally did something I've been meaning to do since last year: I migrated my Vaultwarden installation from Amazon ECS to Fly.io.

There's been no shortage of people harping about the amazing things you can do with OpenAI's ChatGPT.

I am absolutely hyped up for Street Fighter VI.

My first mechanical keyboard is a Vortex Pok3r, which I've had since 2015.

Working with quite a lot of AWS CDK for our prototypes, it's very important to be able to ensure our Stacks and Constructs are in a valid state at all times.

I recently had an engineering requirement where I had to build a Lambda function that would grab an arbitrary number of files stored in S3, compress them into a single ZIP archive, then upload the archive into another S3 bucket.

On my last livestream session with the AWS DevAx Connect team, I talked about how you can build observability into distributed applications on AWS Lambda (among other things), particularly using AWS X-Ray.

I was one of those people that were pleasantly surprised, waking up one morning earlier this month, to the news of Slack announcing a partnership with AWS.

There's been a lot of fanfare about the new AWS Graviton2 processors, and the performance and cost benefits of using them compared to their alternatives in the cloud.

As is with many people, I'm stuck at home because of the COVID-19 lockdowns most everywhere.

In this time of global pandemic, not only are there more people jumping onto remote online meetings, but there seems to be more people trying out livestreaming and recording videos for the benefit of others online.
