Let’s setup commit verification using GPG on Windows. This will prompt us to sign the commit. I will be using a passphrase instead of signing the commits with my SSH token. This gives an extra layer of security to the setup.

Here I’ll store my notes on WSL tuning. I mainly use WSL to do Dev Containers, so I need it to run as smooth as possible. My main problems include: memory and disk size. Let’s see what we can do to address the problem.

I’ve finally upgraded to Windows 11. In this blog I’ll add some tuning I’ve applied to my installs (both private and for the company).

Let’s build a bash script that is able to obtain a refresh OAuth token for a 3LO Atlassian app to be able to make offline API requests.

With the Chocolatey Package Manager for Windows, it is super easy to install software from the command-line. This makes your installs scriptable and thus repeatable. In this blog I’ll show you how to render installation instructions from a machine and how to use the Windows Task Scheduler to update your packages regularly.

At Wehkamp we use many – many – buckets! To do FinOps correctly, it is important we’re able to determine which teams own which buckets. In this article I’ll discuss how to detect Team tags that are not correct and apply the correct ones. We’re using a combination of Bash, AWS CLI, CSV and JQ.

I’m on Windows and I use AWS Vault to connect to AWS using an MFA token. It works wonderfully, unless you need to execute some Bash scripts. I love using Bash on Windows, as WSL makes it really easy to write my scripts. But, alas, the AWS environment variables set by AWS Vault are not […]

When I build containerized apps that need to be exposed on the internet, I usually need to forward ports, set up let’s encrypt and reverse proxy some random port. In this blog I’ll show you how to ditch all of that in favor of 1 secure Cloudflare tunnel in a docker-compose file.

As browser security improves, many applications have implemented CORS headers to protect against unauthorized access. I’m working on a Chrome extension that needs to check if a certain URL is present on GitHub, before it opens the URL in a new tab. Let’s explore what we can do.

Let’s run Jupyter notebooks in a Visual Studio Code development container, so we keep our host system clean and our development setup replicable. We’re building a scraper, so let’s add support for Puppeteer (pyppeteer) as well!
