    What is BusKill? (Explainer Video)
    Watch the BusKill Explainer Video for more info youtube.com/v/qPwyoD_cQR4

    You attach the kill cable to your body and if the connection between you to your computer is severed, then your device will lock, shutdown, or shred its encryption keys. It’s designed to protect high-risk users’ data. Data could include private keys (eg theft of cryptocurrency assets), contacts of correspondence (eg sources of a journalist – such as whistleblowers), etc.

      W/e project you’re most interested in, I recommend having a blog to document your journey as you go. =)

    Me personally, I’ve been working on adding a bunch of features to my site. So much so that I even added a roadmap page to my own site (mostly for my own viewing haha). I just got the “hamburger menu” up and am now embarking on some theme toggling (dark/light mode). After that I can get into the real work I wanted to begin which was adding true IndieWeb functionality to the site. Check this out to see what I mean - https://indieweb.org/IndieMark.

    I’m working on a comprehensive Restic backup playbook for all my homelabs stuff - backing up to Wasabi S3 (encrypted of course).

    So far, so good - the biggest challenge is figuring out what exactly needs to be backed up in order to completely recover.

    PDNS and Proxmox are the big bugbears. Netbox/misc other servers are fairly straightforward.

      Dope. I wish I had more time for some hardcore home-labbing stuff. Well, it’s not that I don’t have time, it’s just I have a ton of other projects I keep lumping on top… need to just finish some things and then get into it…

    Need to stop procrastrinating and write another small util and start on something as well. I’m really tired.

        I want to automate generating SSH keys and copying to server all on the client side which I want to use in conjuction with my other SSH tool.

        Might also write some middleware for a HTTPS redirector, but haven’t decided. Feeling a bit under the weather at the moment so…
