I got rid of my Instagram account (and Facebook account) some time ago, but I’d still like to see photos from my wife and our dog, without being tracked or gamified into addiction. To do that, I was just visiting the Instagram website for each public user I wanted to view, but that was way […]
I recently had the problem where I needed to load files into a Docker container, but only once, and only at the startup of that container. Specifically, these were signing certificates stored in an S3 bucket. Obviously (I hope), we don’t want to bake sensitive certificates and keys into a Docker image, so we need […]
For the day job, I maintain four custom PHP apps in addition to several Drupal sites. Up until a couples months ago, each of the apps was hosted on-premise in LAMP virtual machines that our IT department maintains.

I’ve been doing some pretty cool work with Drupal 8, Composer, Github, Pantheon and CircleCI around Continuous Integration and Deployment at the day job. Well, not sure you can call Drupal “cool”, but the rest of it is kind of neat, so […]
Had a difficult time authenticating to a newly installed MariaDB 10.1 instance on Debian 9 (Stretch) recently, wasting a couple of hours and some precious late-night sanity, so I wanted to document that here for myself later, and anyone else who might run across this. As part of a learning exercise I wanted to install […]
