SSH Random notes

Some of the ssh tricks that I learned while automating tasks or just configuring remote services.

Random reuse and recycling of house items

A mix of avarice and search for efficiency and incoformism on why we throw away so much stuff. Being a minimalist means that I want to also use as minimal as possible the resources I had. So I found a way to simple reuse the salt grinders from the supermarket.

Moving my github pages from custom CMS to Jekyll

Content management is hard, either you use a old style CMS or use a web service ( medium, wordpress, blogger ) or you do it yourself. I tried for sometime almost all the options, and ended up with wordpress as generic tool and my own in-house version that process markdown files.

Great Expectations ( work in progress )

Got this link: Great Expectations from reading online, seems very interesting for higher level data asserts, started following the Welcome Guide

Modern Windows Workstation for Developers

Windows is one of the historic and most used and installed O.S in the world. I had a high and lows relationship with it but still I always used it either at home or at work. On the past years my home computer is an Mac and I have being using linux mainly on vms/containers or remote. Now I am back working on daily basis on a windows machine and compared to my previous experience ( Windows 8 ), windows 11 is a totally different experience. Mainly on my opinion now due to the Windows Linux Subsystem.

Installing a local minecraft bedrock server

I have a xbox one and two players can play it at the sametime but I would like to join the party with my kid and wife. There are two solutions, minecraft healms and get your own server. The minecraft healms has a good price but I wanted to runs scripts on minecraft for a long time so I decided to go with the local server.

Markdown Random Notes

Software Bucket List

“Nice list of software that one day I will try to do something”, this list is self explanatory, like the one that I made with all musics that I will listen but I am likely to live around 80 years so I will never finish it.
