Back in 2019 I built a small storage server for my home needs. Basically I store my music, movies, ebooks, and image collections here, enabling the use of DLNA to watch them on my TVs throughout the house.
Just the other day, I finally got the notice that I am running low on space. To be clear that threshold is any remaining space under 1TB. As of this writing I am down to 1020.7GB of storage space left on this single server. Time to plan for expanding my storage!

One thing geeks like myself have taken to doing, is preserving the history of the internet by replicating information to sites and servers with better control. That is why I have created this repo, which automatically updates daily (thanks Github Workflows!)
[Read More]Happy to announce that my Github Action utahcon/action-hugo has been updated to now support Hugo Modules. This change
basically means there is now an on-board implementation of Golang, and git. Nothing too scary. Didn’t increase build
times by too much, nor does it impact the way you use the action, except that it now support Modules. Enjoy!
Welcome to 2021, I decided to post about my plans to blog a bit more in 2021, but the internet gods had conspired
against me and made my Github Action action-scp fail. So I started into fixing it. If you see this blog post, it is
indeed fixed.
No clue, but something on the Github side of things changed in a way that I was starting to fail host key verification,
even though it specifically uses StrictHostKeyChecking=no. What to do? Play around.
It has been a rough one, not for me personally, I actually can’t complain about 2020 too much. Aside from being locked in closer quarters than normal with my kids, the year was overly meh. I will go count my blessings and keep at it.
Aside from the normal weight loss, education, etc. goals, I am also committing, once again to 52 posts on this blog this year. I am not going to make any commitment to the content of these posts, but I will generally try to keep them tied (at least in general) to tech and my thoughts on tech. Hopefully I will get the chance to sprinkle in some cloudy stuff, and some Golang stuff as I go. For now, I will just say, at least 1 post per week (yeah, I realize I already missed a week, I’ll make it up).
I am proud to announce that I have completed my first Microsoft Azure Certification.
To see more of my certifications checkout the certifications page.
Well it is working if you are seeing this. More on that later.
AWS provides a handy Git based repository to their customers called CodeCommit. Accessing the repository is easy enough, upload your SSH Key to the AWS Console, and then add CodeCommit to your SSH configuration:
# ~/.ssh/config
Host git-codecommit.*.amazonaws.com
User USER1EXAMPLEARN1
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/USER1EXAMPLEARN1_rsaThis is wonderful until you need to access more than one AWS Account’s CodeCommit repo. How do you identify between two different AWS Account repos that use the same URL? You update your SSH configuration like this:

Maybe you are lazy like I am, but when I want to read the Boto3 documentation I just open my browser, and in the omnibar
I type boto3 and slap Enter; however, this results in my browser auto-filling the URL bar with
https://boto3.amazonaws.com and since the AWS guys are too lazy to add a redirect there, I have created a simple User
Script that does exactly that, it just redirects the browser to the correct link
https://boto3.amazonaws.com/v1/documentation/api/latest/index.html
