Blog posts and random thoughts about anything, mostly software development.
I just read this great guide from Duck Typed about AWS Virtual Private Cloud (VPC), it explains in really simple terms what a VPC is and why it's necessary.

If you have never heard of Obsidian it's a desktop and mobile note taking app that you…
I have a small PC at home that I use as a server to run some personal services of mine, Jellyfin, Sonarr, QBitTorrent, and others. This is an outline of the current setup and some of the problems I faced.
