Vincent's Blog

After having listen to the presentation of Hannes Mühleisen given on February 2nd at Fosdem. I've decided to give a try to type of DB.

Last week my NAS stopped working. The mother board has not resist to an unplanned power outage. So, I bought a new board J5005. After having placed the new board in the case, I was surprised to see that the board does not see the boot sector. Looking in the documentation of the board, we can ONLY use EUFI. Legacy boot is not supported!!!. Here bellow I will explain how to migrate my disk to UEFI.

Since version 6.6 of OpenBSD we can upgrade a machine via a simple commmand: sysupgrade. Unfortunately this tool as some side effects annoying for me: install all sets and reboot immediately without asking it.
In this blog, I present modifications I did in order to solve those problems.

Today it's exactly 100 days that my website is running on top of Fapws4 without any troubles.

After my blog on xenodm, I've received several interesting remarks. So, this blog is to integrate some of those remarks (not all) and to include a nice looking dynamic picture.

Fapws4 is a re-write of fapws3, but using libraries like libuv and picohttpparser. So, the goal is to build a very fast python web server where most of the processing aspects are written in C. The developer using it, will have to simply write the logic of his web pages in Python.

In this blog, I will describe how I've build a simple, but still nice looking login screen based on xenodm.

As already discussed on this blog, I'm a user of Fapws3 since several years. I like his small foot print in memory, simplicity to use in Python. But it runs only with Python-2.x and cannot manage correctly POST commands with big files.

So, I've decided to jump into the C programming language and develop Fapws4. An evolution of Fapws3, that do not have those pain points.

In this blog, I will show you first results of Fapws4

With the posix tar command, we cannot exclude files' pattern like gnu-tar does. This article will propose some alternatives.

More and more persons are using a password storage system. Thanks to those systems, we can put complex passwords in our different applications. So, the next need is to create such complex password. This blog will explain how to do it. At the end of the blog, you will see how to perform this on OpenBSD in a simple and efficient way

I'm a vim user since several years. This blog explain how I move to neovim.

In this blog some news concerning the last changes implemented in yabitrot version 0.4

In this blog I'll share the method I'm using to upgrade my OpenBSD machines without using the console.

I'm still looking for a replacement to the good old fapws web server. So, in this blog, I will put fapws in front of web server written in Go

It was a good experience to present my NAS server to the fosdem. In this post I share some extra elements
