      Audio Transcribing

      pubsub.slavino.sk / warlord0blog · Tuesday, 30 January - 21:16 edit

    I found myself in a position of recording an audio conference and then wanting to get a transcription of the discussion. On my Android phone, there seems to be a plethora of apps in the store you can use, but my content was an hour and a half long. The best I could get was 5 minutes of transcript for free, or buy minutes.

      Network Diagrams and Shapes

      pubsub.slavino.sk / warlord0blog · Friday, 19 January - 09:33 edit

    In the world of Office 365 I find myself using a crippled version of Visio. Any shapes I want are part of an upgrade package, so that’s not going to happen. Most of the shapes and Icons I want to use aren’t available to me, so Visio is worthless. Back to Open Source, LibreOffice Draw &ellipsisRead the full post »

      Cloudflare Tunnelling

      pubsub.slavino.sk / warlord0blog · Tuesday, 16 January - 18:48 edit

    Using Cloudflare, it is possible to connect to a private internal service via a tunnel. This enables the interaction of a DNS name to get proxied through Cloudflare, and over a tunnel into your secure application – without exposing the application ports to the internet. This means none of our internal services need be published via &ellipsisRead the full post »

      PostgreSQL, repmgr and Barman

      pubsub.slavino.sk / warlord0blog · Monday, 15 January - 18:27 edit

    Initially, I started work on a Docker container build, but using the docker build provided some challenges with editing configurations to satisfy barman streaming requirement. For this reason, I moved to carrying out a native installation using packages straight from the Debian repo – postgresql-15-repmgr and rsync. Once installed, followed the repmgr quick start guide to the point &ellipsisRead the full post »

      WD My Passport and LUKS

      pubsub.slavino.sk / warlord0blog · Monday, 8 January - 09:04 edit

    I found a 4TB WD My Passport drive, and thought I’d see if I could put it to use on Linux. I’m not going to even try using the built-in AES256 encryption, and will be using LUKS. My initial finding were that it would not mount an encrypted partition. It complained about being unable to &ellipsisRead the full post »

      Zombie Laptop

      pubsub.slavino.sk / warlord0blog · Friday, 5 January - 19:10 edit

    Some years ago my brother bought an Asus K53E laptop, 4GB RAM, Intel Core i7-2670QM. It came with Windows 7 Home Premium. It was a slow and tedious thing, and within a year he became fed up with it, and replaced it with an iPad. A year or so later, I needed a laptop, just &ellipsisRead the full post »

      Database Backups to B2 Using Restic

      pubsub.slavino.sk / warlord0blog · Friday, 15 December - 20:42 edit

    You can always back up the databases to a file and then back up those files to Backblaze B2 or AWS S3 using restic, but how about streaming a backup directly to object storage with no local copy? Turns out it was easy to do. Pipe the backup through pigz/gzip and then into restic as &ellipsisRead the full post »

      Vagrant and Ansible

      pubsub.slavino.sk / warlord0blog · Thursday, 7 December - 18:30 edit

    Using Vagrant you can automatically deploy a Virtual Machine on almost any virtual platform, VMware, Virtual Box, and QEMU/KVM (libvirt). It works similarly to Docker. It has a repository, Vagrant Cloud, that is similar to Docker hub. You specify a base image to use from the cloud, and it deploys it to your platform (provider). &ellipsisRead the full post »
