Blog posts

Some time ago I started using restic for creating backups of my home directory of my laptop. Now it has become my main solution for backing up my most valued data.

This is a different kind of post than I normally write here. Most other posts are about a problem I ran into or a conference I visited. This time is more a story telling post. I though it would be nice to have a sort of summary of what kind of work I have been doing for the last decade.

After years of thinking “I should have gone” after the fact, I finally went to FOSDEM!

Notes from my day at the 12th edition of PyGrunn.

In part 1 of this (mini) series I described what I did to be able to build an ISO image using Vagrant. Now it’s time to actually customize it.

When I wanted to create a custom Kali Linux ISO using Vagrant, the allocated disk was not big enough. Solving this required some searching and putting several bits of information together. This post shows how I increased the disk size.

This post describes how you can work around a firewall to pull Docker images from a server that you do not have direct access to, using a SOCKS5 proxy.
