John's Blog

My desktop PC predates my love for Debian, so it's still running Arch Linux.

Lately, I find myself writing a lot of programs using the Deno runtime, and I wanted an easier way to install these programs on various development and production environments.

My love for systemd is no secret, I've blogged about it more than once.

They always say a man is only as good as his tools, and that remains true in the world of computing.

This will be a brief post, but I wanted to share some helpful aliases I use every single day: Prerequisites These aliases make use of xclip, which is not usually included by default in most Linux distributions.

After a recent service outage that went unnoticed longer than I'd like to admit, I decided to set up automatic email notifications for any systemd service failures.

Introduction I have held an interest in Single-Board Computers (SBCs) for a while now, and my journey eventually led me to the MangoPi.

Docker is a great tool for building and running containerized applications, but it is not the best solution for running services on Linux.

I am excited to announce the release of version 1.0 of Nutty1, an HTTP paste server that allows for easy storage and sharing of plaintext files via a simple HTTP API.

Recently, I decided to take the plunge and switch from my usual editor-of-choice, VSCode, to the terminal-based Neovim.

Role-based access control (RBAC) is a valuable technique for restricting access to computer resources based on a user's role within that system.

I was recently granted access to Dall-E, a new artificial intelligence that can generate images from a single text prompt.

I've been using Linux as my daily driver OS for a couple of years now, but it's only recently that I started using Linux everyday as a part of my job.

I have been using systemd to manage services on my many Linux boxes for a while now.

This is the first post on the blog setup using Deno.
