I have been toying with the idea of migrating this blog to a static site to simplify its maintenance for some time. While WordPress is a great tool, this blog is a side project and any time I have to spend maintaining WordPress gets deducted from the time I have to write for the blog. […]

I’ve mentioned in the past how you can configure the MongoDB Java driver output from Java. Most Clojure applications that use MongoDB use a database driver that wraps the official MongoDB Java driver. I personally use monger for a lot of my projects, but also occasionally created my own wrapper. The methods described in this […]

I don’t usually do Happy New Year posts, but given how “well” 2020 went I thought it was appropriate to start 2021 with a whimsy post. This post is probably going to date me since it’s been a few years – OK, decades – since these were current. Well, it’s not the actual computer, but […]

My main PC workstation (as opposed to my Mac Pro) is a dual-boot Windows and Linux machine. While backing up the Windows portion is relatively easy via some cheap-ish commercial backup software, I ended up backing up my Linux home directories only very occasionally. Clearly, Something Had To Be Done ™. I had a look […]

Why do we need another post cluttering up the Interpipes on how to find a set of documents in a MongoDB collection that contain a non-empty array field? It’s not like we suddenly have a shortage of posts and articles on this topic after all. Well, it maybe a shocking revelation but not all of […]

In part 2, I reconfigured my WireGuard VPN to use an Unbound DNS server on the VPN server rather than rely on a third party server I had used for the original quick and dirty configuration. It was important for me to set up a validating DNS server, which I did in that part. In […]

In the first part, I described how I set up the basic OpenBSD WireGuard VPN server. I also hinted that I wanted to set up my own validating, filtering DNS server. With a little bit of spare time during the holidays I decided now was a good time as any. Making sure the VPN server […]

In my previous post, I mentioned that I somehow ended up with a corrupted filesystem on the WireGuard server I had set up earlier this year. That iteration of my VPN server was built on Linux as I expected I would get better performance using the kernel-based WireGuard implementation. It had taken me a while […]

I’ve blogged about setting up a WireGuard VPN server earlier this year. It’s been running well since, but I needed to take care of some overdue maintenance tasks. Trying to log into the server this morning and I am greeted with “no route to host”. Eh? A quick check on my Vultr UI showed that […]
