Protecting Internal Web Resources

TL;DR: This blog post is a write-up of the process I went through to setup a set of internal web resources and apps for a small company I am running in my spare time ( providing a Single-Sign-On / SSO experience for internal users with web applications protected by flexible access policies including single and multi-factor authentication / two-factor authentication or 2FA).

Background

As I mentioned in the TL;DR above, I run a small software/technology com … ⌘ Read more

** uxn exit **
This evening I sat down on the couch sleepy. We’d just gotten the kids into bed. I hadn’t planned on writing any code but figured I’d round the evening out with some reading.

First I read through the docs and glossary of uf, a forth system for uxn. Then I read through an example program provided by uf.

In-reply-to » got jenny setup and threads works completly fine but now I want to figure out how to get auto publishing working

@prologic@twtxt.net I do think the post about how to setup jenny + mutt over on the uninformativ.de blog is still a great post. I used that post to see the steps to set it up and it works fine. Though I can write some blog post with some more documentation for things like auto publishing. The big issue with plain twtxt is that I would have not seen your post unless I looked on twtxt.net when I was looking at yarn a little bit more. Twtxt does overcome the issue by introducing the registry but I can’t figure out any way to use them for Jenny and almost no one uses them in the first place. So I can’t see anyones replies or mentions unless I am following them. Yarn does overcome the issue by friends of friends as you would know as the creator of yarn.

I was just about to write a long response to a discussion I saw online. But while writing it, I realized that I have an opinion, but I can’t express it properly and somehow I don’t have anything to contribute. So I deleted my draft. I don’t have to give my two cents on everything. 😅 ⌘ Read more

‘Based’ Paganism vs. Christianity
I’ve been meaning to write about Paganism recently. I will frame it as a response to an email I received within the past day or so:

Hey Luke,

First off, I would like to thank you for all your efforts in making everything
you know accessible to everyone. You have exposed me to some of the most
thought-provoking people on the internet and Varg is one of them. I was
wondering if you can write an article or make a video on what you think about

In-reply-to » (#ay7e6ka) @eaplmx That reminds me, I should start doing some exercises, too. Years ago, I wrote a web application to track those and two other mates used it as well. This way we motivated us to do our daily pushups and situps. I even extended it to upload GPX trajectories from our bike rides and hikes to show the route on an OSM map. Finally, you could enter your weights and get a nice graph with all the ups and downs. I should revibe this project. And maybe even rewrite it.

@prologic@twtxt.net Haha, of course, no worries! :-) Yup, I thought to try Go for this web application this time. REST API and web UI would be both needed in my opinion. I have at least two mates who would need a UI instead of a programmer-friendly interface. :-D

It’s far from complete, but I started writing something down: https://git.isobeef.org/lyse/kraftwerk2

In reply to: A simple mess

This is also something people keep getting wrong about Markdown as originally presented. Markdown isn’t a format. It’s a convenience tool that helps you write some of the boringest and commonest parts of HTML easier, and you can easily drop into more wonky HTML at any time.

Yes yes yes yes yes yes! ⌘ Read more

good hobbyist internet science writers & scientists are afflicted by a peculiar disease: they produce some (or a lot of) good output, and then someone gives them enough money to start an organization, and they never write anything interesting again.

Into the World of Eileen Chang
[Sponsored Article]

As one of the most perceptive authors of Chinese contemporary literature, Eileen Chang’s fictional writings are best known for her acute observation of all walks of life and the rich tapestry of human relationships in Hong Kong and Shanghai in the 1940s and 50s. Although it has already been 27 years since Chang’s death, her works are still loved by readers of different generations, … ⌘ Read more

** A quick and dirty intro to the .pbm file format **
I’ve been fiddling with writing programs that draw pictures. I started with PostScript for this, but have since moved to writing programs that output in the .pbm format.

My goal here is to write noise to a .pbm file.

A .pbm file is the lowest common denominator among image file formats.

An example of the format,

Thank you for bringing this to our attention, Mr. Fastidious. We fully agree with you.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Sir, you really should have forked that conversation long back to keep our environment clean and tidy. Unfortunately, you did not attend the meeting earlier, so we have to advise you in writing to be prudent. Please keep in mind the fork lockdown is currently not in place. There are currently no plans to enforce it in the near future.

** Star Wars, and a year in review **
I tried to write a“ year in review” kinda post, but it got wicked melodramatic pretty fast. This year has been a slog…it really fucking sucked.

Rather than reflect on it further, I thought I’d write about something vapid that I’ve been thinking a bit about lately instead: Star Wars.

Despite my best efforts, I’ve always loved Star Wars. As a child I spent hundreds of hours pouring over novels, and comics, and books of sch … ⌘ Read more
