Size matters, but … resolution and image quality are as import.
Since I was diagnosed with diabetes I have eyes issues things are getting better recently but I still needs glasses for reading etc.
My “no smoking” Piggy Bank was fat enough for some “eye candy”. I bought a Dell UltraSharp U2713HM a 27 inch WQHD (2560x1440) IPS display.
Compared to the others screens I used to work with the image quality is amazing and the higher resolution give so much more space.
Lookat 2.1.0rc1 is the latest development release of Lookat/Bekijk, a user-friendly Unix file browser/viewer that supports colored man pages.
The focus of the 2.1.0 release is to add ANSI Color support.
Lookat 2.1.0rc1 is the first release candicate of Lookat 2.1.0
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
While the code ( if you call YAML “code” ) is already more than 5 years old. I finally took the take the make a proper release of my test “hello” OCI container.
I use this container to demo a container build and how to deploy it with helm on a Kubernetes cluster. Some test tools (ping, DNS, curl, wget) are included to execute some tests on the deployed pod.
It also includes a Makefile to build the container and deploy it on a Red Hat OpenShift Local (formerly Red Hat CodeReady Containers) cluster.
To deploy the container with the included helm charts to OpenShift local (Code Ready Containers), execute make crc_deploy.
This will:
I might include support for other Kubernetes in the future when I find the time.
