Problem You’re inside. You need an ethernet cable to go outside. You’re in a residential building with no fancy accomodation for this predicament. How does one go out? Through the window maybe… but then you either leave it open or crush the cable, right? Solution Wrong. Enter window lead-through RJ45: Ok, good. But the resulting connection on the outer side will succomb to the elements, right?https://kasprowicz.pro/posts/how-does-a-dachshund-work/Tue, 09 Apr 2024 14:09:11 +0200https://kasprowicz.pro/posts/how-does-a-dachshund-work/Intro I like trains. I’ve been on one lately, reading some hackernews in the morning. “Los Alamos” they said. Los Alamos chess. Interdansting. Specifically the 3rd game made me curious. How did they end up in a such a position? I’d like to see it unfold. I could’ve play it out over the board. No chessboard in sight though. I could’ve… click it over or build a visualisation thingy or…https://kasprowicz.pro/posts/no-to-klaps/Sun, 05 Jun 2022 19:13:20 +0200https://kasprowicz.pro/posts/no-to-klaps/This one will be in Polish.

Make life take the lemons back! I don’t want your damn lemons! What am I supposed to do with these? — Cave Johnson I’ve purchased the devices with my own money. Tentacle Sync GmbH has not compoensated me for saying anything about their product. But like… it would be nice if they did. Get Mad!

And there it is - a beautiful frontend. The drop-in shadow on the buttons just makes you want to lick them. Of course it’s containerized as well. And the problem arises: how can the frontend know where the backend is? The only problem with static frontends in that regard is that they are… well… static. Seams trivial, but this is a surprisingly annoying one - partly because it occurs in the JS-land yet requires a devops mindset to solve reasonably.https://kasprowicz.pro/posts/one-too-many-time-pad/Tue, 19 Nov 2019 23:35:17 +0100https://kasprowicz.pro/posts/one-too-many-time-pad/Disclaimer: this is an alpha version, expect updates Prologue It’s been a while. Recently I’ve started a cryptography course at the university and this correlates with people asking me about cryptography. But of course correlation is not causation… Anyway, Scott Hanselman had made an excellent take on the subject of abiding the DRY rule while passing on knowledge and in that spirit I’d like to act out the hero myth; of the one who embarked, explored and came back to talk about one’s findings.https://kasprowicz.pro/posts/terraform-password-external/Sat, 05 Jan 2019 17:58:48 +0100https://kasprowicz.pro/posts/terraform-password-external/Preface Hello, internet! Did you know that there are some problems you cannot tackle by simply heading to Stack Overflow? I was doing a Terraform setup for an analytics system. And with big data comes mighty visualization tool - Kibana. Because of networking, I’ve already had a proxy set up to forward traffic from the world to Kibana, yet some kind of security measure was required to ensure only our client has access to it.https://kasprowicz.pro/posts/begin/Wed, 19 Dec 2018 19:58:48 +0100https://kasprowicz.pro/posts/begin/“Chancellor on brink of second bailout for banks” ~ The Times 03/Jan/2009 Erm… There were other things here before, but they no longer apply or belong somewhere else. A begining is needed. We all know how it goes, but it must be said anyway. Well, this is it.

You can think of it as a conceptual intro to an operations manual. Or part of a blamesless post-mortem where you finally realize how it could happen. This is not a bio. I loathe bios. Makes me think about these drones that start a presentation by saying: My name is Donald Disposable, I’ve been working at E-Corp for $wayTooMany years as a glorified paper pusher and or doormat.https://kasprowicz.pro/now/Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000https://kasprowicz.pro/now/(This is a now page, and if you have your own site, you should can make one, too.) Updated April 1nd, 2026 from an Airbus A320 somewhere over Germany. Yes, it’s been a while ;) .balanced. April is the month of safety. Balance. With latent forces left unchecked one becomes it’s own worst enemy. Paid terrible price for that lesson, still it was on the cheap side anyway. The mixture is good for now, very little to add, almost nothing to remove.
