I was creating an ugly quick-and-dirty script to setup the squid cache_dir automatically with puppet based on the diskspace and memory available.
When you are developing you sometimes forget to create backups and push it to git, and mistakes are around the corner.
Lucky bash saved my day!
$ ./create_cache_entries.sh > create_cache_entries.sh
-bash: ./create_cache_entries.sh: /bin/bash: bad interpreter: Text file busy
$ vi create_cache_entries.sh
Terraform or OpenTofu (the open-source fork supported by the Linux Foundation) is a nice tool to setup the infrastructure on different cloud environments. There is also a provider that supports libvirt.
If you want to get started with OpenTofu there is a free training available from the Linux foundation:
I also joined the talk about OpenTofu and Infrastructure As Code, in general, this year in the Virtualization and Cloud Infrastructure DEV Room at FOSDEM this year:

I decided to leave twitter.
Yes, this has something to do with the change of ownership, the name change to x, …
There is only 1 X to me, and that’s X.org
Twitter has become a platform that doesn’t value #freedomofspeech anymore.
My account even got flagged as possible spam to “factchecking” #fakenews
The mean reason is that there is a better alternative in the form of the Fediverse #Fediverse is the protocol that Mastodon uses.
It allows for a truly decentralised social media platform.
It allows organizations to set up their own Mastodon instance and take ownership and accountability for their content and accounts.
Mastodon is a nice platform; you probably feel at home there.
People who follow me on twitter can continue to follow me at Mastodon if they want.

I’ll post this message a couple of times to twitter before I close my twitter account, so people can decide if they want to follow me on Mastodon …or not ;-).
Have fun!

Unbound is a popular DNS resolver, that has native DNS-over-TLS support.
Unbound and Stubby were among the first resolvers to implement DNS-over-TLS.
I wrote a few blog posts on how to use Stubby on GNU/Linux and FreeBSD.
The implementation status of DNS-over-TLS and other DNS privacy options is available at: https://dnsprivacy.org/.
See https://dnsprivacy.org/implementation_status/ for more details.
It’s less known that it can also be used as authoritative DNS server (aka a real DNS server). Since I discovered this feature and Unbound got native DNS-over-TLS support I started to it as my DNS server.
I created a docker container for it a couple of years back to use it as an authoritative DNS server.
I recently updated the container, the latest version (2.1.0) is available at: https://github.com/stafwag/docker-stafwag-unbound
