My attempts at making AI produce less slop and technical debt when helping with code generation.
All in The Lab
Quantum-Safe OpenSSH and OpenSSL
It’s one thing to simply say “patch” to address a future quantum computing danger. It’s another when configuring services. Examples are included.
Quantum Readiness
Yes, Q-Day is coming. Granted, that day when quantum computers can crack older cryptography is a few years off, but it is in fact coming. Better to start preparing now rather than later, and there is plenty you can do that is fairly easy right now. Plus I released a simple script for checking your systems.
The Home Assistant Migration
It was a backup, drive wipe, reload, and restore the backup. I expected the worse, but what happened surprised me.
Ultimate Encryption Solution
I wrote the ultimate encryption implementation, wow it is so good! However as far as usability for the average person (or even ultra nerd) leaves a lot to be desired. A WHOLE lot.
Upgrading Debian 11 to 12
Upgrading an internal server from Debian 11 to Debian 12 went fairly good. Even Home Assistant in Supervised mode running on that system survived intact. Maybe Debian isn’t that bad…
Debian 12 (Quick) Review
I tested Debian 12 as a potential replacement for Ubuntu in the NMRC server environment. It didn’t meet expectations.
Delving Into Home Assistant
I decided to consolidate all of those smart things into one place, and started with a server. Unfortunately I’m running a distro I am not used to, so I’ve had a few hiccups, but it is working now.
Server Error
It's Friday afternoon, and one console error message can ruin the entire day.
