TL;DR pymarkdownlnt provides an easy way of checking that any Markdown you’re working on is complying to some sensible guidelines. If you’re comfortable with Python virtual environments you won’t really need the rest of this post. Why? I’ve spent a bunch of time recently adding OpenSSF Scorecards to the key Atsign repos. Build better security […]

Apache 2.2 on Ubuntu 14.04
Apache 2.4 changes things a lot – particularly around authentication and authorisation. I’m not the first to run into this issue, but I didn’t find a single straight answer online. So here goes (as root): If you want mpm-worker then do this instead:

TL;DR Apple and Google have both launched laptops in the past few days that are both amazing and seriously flawed. If only somebody could make a machine that has the best of both worlds. MacBook The leaks were pretty much spot on, so in the end the new MacBook brought few surprises. I really want […]

This seemed like a good idea, as VXLAN has been in the Linux kernel since 3.7. TL;DR – this doesn’t work as I’d hoped. The two major issues being: VXLAN needs a multicast enabled network, which rules out most public clouds. Instability – I’ve managed to provoke multiple kernel panics on stock Ubuntu 14.04.

Banking on Ubuntu
TL;DR Banking CIOs may know about Ubuntu, and be vaguely aware of Canonical, but I’d be surprised if many could explain the difference in commerials versus Red Hat.

I had some fun last year putting CohesiveFT’s VNS3 cloud networking solution onto Raspberry Pi. It gave us something to demo on at trade shows, and we could also give away Pis as part of promotions. The Pis were like geek catnip. I’ll be using Pis again for Cloud Expo Europe later this month, but […]

Ubuntu images on Docker.io
When trying to install node.js into the default official Ubuntu image on Docker the other day I hit a dependency issue. Node.js needs rlwrap[1], and rlwrap is in the universe repository, which it turns out isn’t part of /etc/apt/sources.list for the 12.04 image: deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu precise main Things worked using the ubuntu:quantal (== ununtu:12.10) image […]
