In order to be sure that the backups of my NAS were coherent and consistent, I was looking for a bit rotation scanner.

Unfortunately, I did not find what I need, so I've written mine.

This blog explain the why, the how, ...

I'm spending lot of energy to apply best practices on my servers.

But, maybe like several persons, my desktops and laptops are just a big mess of different softwares, lot of different config files, ...

And when comes the question of the backup, most of the elements must not be take into account. So, in my mind it's not necessary to take a backup. (my important documents are synchronised in an automatic way via rsync on my NAS).

Nevertheless, some files and directories requires lot of attentions and must be correctly backuped like ~/.config for example.

This blog is about an another locale backup script which allow to precisely select which files to backup.

Moreover it allow a versioning. Some OSX's users call it "time machine".

nmctl is no more maintained
This release of nmctl brings few new features and some bug fixes.

I'm using protonmail.com for my emails. But unfortunately I was not able to login from both FireFox and Chrome present on my OpenBSD machine. This blog explain how to solve this issue.

As stated by some users, it's dangerous that nmctl runs with root privileges. So, this version of nmctl runs with a standard users and delegate to doas the management of privileges.

nmctl is no more maintained
It's now several weeks I'm using the "auto-join" features of OpenBSD-current. I'll explain why I'm yet back to my nmctl script. This version 0.5 of nmctl it a total re-write of nmctl 0.4.x.

This post will explain how I've shrink one of my filesystem in order to increase the size of an other one. All of this occurs on OpenBSD.

As you know, I'm using Openbox + Tint2 on OpenBSD. Tint2 is a very nice panel bar which has lot of flexibility. On this page I'm presenting my calendar application which allow you to copy/paste the selected dates.

I do no know if this will be useful, but it was fun for me to develop it. I spent only few hours to have it. And it's rare to mention, it runs on windows too.

Roman Zolotarev contacts me in order to answer some of his questions. Basically his idea is to help beginners to discover and use BSD operating systems and related projects.

You have selected OpenBSD because this is one of the most secured OS (maybe the most secured :-) ), but people around you ask to go further. Your current machine is directly facing internet and some people fear that this machine could be compromised. In this blog I will explain what I did to secure one of my machine.
