I’ve been using Syncthing for a while to synchronize my working copy with a local dev server for a few months. At first I was using it by logging in and running it manually through the CLI. It was working well, so I didn’t think twice when I moved to run it as a service. […]
I have a cluster of Raspberry Pi’s at home running Docker Swarm. To keep up with things, they’re using the same configuration – users, Docker versions, etc. Sometimes some of the updates require running the same thing on all the nodes of the cluster – for example – creating a new Docker macvlan network. To […]
Today I received my monthly invoice from my internet provider and something struck me as weird. The invoice, contained in the mail was in a ZIP file with a password. Not to say how strange it was to receive an attachment as a ZIP file in these days and times (spam, malware, phishing, etc.), the […]
Recently I’ve been helping out a friend with trying to make sense of some code and how to modify it to work well with asynchronous calls to the backend. A bonus would be to be able to write it in a more modular and reusable way. The code is a WordPress plugin that was written […]
Recently I’ve been playing around with ESP32’s multicore functionality and task pinning to specific cores. I was using AutoConnect to support WiFi connection without storing credentials in the code and provide OTA updates via the web UI. This was for a project that was going to control some CPU 4-pin PWM fans that are in […]
I’ve been using a YubiKey as a 2-Factor Authentication key and to sign my Git commits. Until a few days ago I’ve been using a YubiKey 4. Since my current computer doesn’t have any USB-A ports, I’ve been juggling a USB-A-to-USB-C adapters in my backpack and using the key has been a hassle for the […]

e1000e eth0: Detected Hardware Unit Hang
Recently my home server and VM host randomly started losing network connectivity. On the outside it seems that it was still working, but I was unable to access it in any remote way. The ethernet adapter seemed to be on, according to the switch, so the issue must have been somewhere in software. It wouldn’t […]
Today I was trying to generate a Docker image from a Node.js project and I wanted to deploy it on my local test swarm. Unfortunately if one builds a local Docker image, this image is stored and accessible only to the node it was created on and the other swarm nodes can’t access it. The […]
I’ve been using the Apple keyboards for a while, but when you live in Europe it’s not easy to source the US layout ones that I’m used to. On macOS there’s an “easy” way to remap the keyboard with just a terminal command: watch -n1 -x hidutil property -m ‘{“ProductID”:592, “VendorID”:1452}’ –set ‘{“UserKeyMapping”:[{“HIDKeyboardModifierMappingSrc”:0x700000035,”HIDKeyboardModifierMappingDst”:0x700000064}]}’ What this […]

Resetting/Restarting Apple TV remote
Last night during a guest visit, I managed to submerge our Apple TV remote under water. Lack of sleep and unstable glasses result in accidents. The remote was working well last night, but today it stopped working. Not responding to any actions. I tried bashing it in my hand, shaking water out of it. It […]
