Deploying FreeBSD on Linode unattended in minutes

from Notes on software development [alt+shift+b] in technology

over a year ago
I became a FreeBSD user over 2 years ago when I wanted to see what all the fuss was about. I swapped my y410p dual-booting Windows / Ubuntu with FreeBSD running Gnome 3. I learned a lot during the transition and came to appreciate FreeBSD as a user. I soon began running...

I still don’t really get “hash shucking”

from Neil Madden [alt+shift+b] in technology

over a year ago
If you want to learn how to store passwords securely, you could do a lot worse than looking at the OWASP Password Storage Cheat Sheet. These cheat sheets are generally pretty good, and the password storage one is particularly good. The editors do a great job of keeping it up to...

Au revoir, Invoke

from Applied Cartography [alt+shift+b] in technology

a year ago
It's not quite interesting or noteworthy enough to warrant a full-on essay, but yesterday we unshipped the last remaining Invoke commands and ported them over to just. I think Invoke is a good, cool project, and I wish it well. If you're at the precise intersection of "you have...

Tools for a Culture of Writing

When Google killed Google Reader, the bloggosphere took a severe hit and the content quality went down because there weren't enough readers to justify the effort it takes to maintain a high quality blog.

What's left is a decaying wasteland of blogs, most abandoned, a lot are now SEO spam, and 99% are not worth reading. BoredReading is a way to read the remaining great blogs that survived the ice age.

To add your favorite blog, please suggest it here! I get emails every day which helps me maintain a high quality selection of blogs!
