Adding Licenses to Code Projects I’ve been starting to get back into personal programming projects, especially as I get more familiar with Python and NodeJS. Hoping that some of the stuff I create is actually useful, I wanted to make sure it was appropriately licensed. GitHub makes it easy to attach a license when creating […]
Following the last post, I’ll comment that I use Screen Sharing very regularly. Each time I open it in macOS 10.13, I need to start typing before it auto-completes my last session. To save a few seconds, I wrote a quick Alfred workflow that scans my recent Screen Sharing profile history (located in a user […]
I recently was provided a new MacBook for work (previously I’d been using my personal Mac, and we’re tightening data security). I purged the personal laptop of all corporate data, but I still prefer my personal machine and setup when working from home. So I started using Mac’s built-in Screen Sharing.app, connecting to the work […]
If you’re into web security, you have hopefully heard of SecLists. It’s an amazing repository of keywords, indicators, payloads, passwords and more. It’s great not just for SecOps, but also developers and QA who want to step up their security game. As part of a project I’m working on, I wanted to be able to […]
This guy on the news is claiming that he doesn’t think the current hurricanes (Harvey, Irma, Jose) are connected in any way to global warming. Seems like a scientist would want some more data before making that kind of a claim…
I’m kind of surprised I couldn’t easily find something like this elsewhere. After all the recent news about unsecured (or very poorly secured) AWS S3 buckets, I wanted to find a quick and easy way of checking my own buckets. Between the several AWS accounts I manage, there are hundreds. AWS sent out an email […]
“Man this place is hot.” “Shit, it’s hot right now.” “It’s so damn hot. I need to drink more water.” “I don’t want to go back outside, but all this second-hand smoke is making my lungs hurt.”
This was was damn confusing, but the solution is absurdly obvious. I needed to relocate a large number of files from a single source into a collection of subfolders. (These subfolders were essentially worker queues, so I wanted a roughly even distribution every time new files appeared in the source folder.) This file contains bidirectional […]
You never want to encounter errors in your production environment. But what do you do if you release code that generates fatal errors outside your application? A recent release we deployed caused an issue with links our platform was generating. Instead of nice links like this: http://example.com/foo:bar:baz we started seeing links like: http://example.com/foo:bar:%?baz?% The source […]
Sarah Jeong composed an entertaining review of data storage models in the Star Wars universe. https://motherboard.vice.com/read/the-disk-formats-of-star-wars-rogue-one-spoilers/ I get where she’s coming from, but I wonder if she has sufficient experience here from which to draw her conclusions. I know, I’m diving a bit too deep into fandom and both (a) trying to make sense of […]
