Vincent's Blog

After my blog on xenodm, I've received several interesting remarks. So, this blog is to integrate some of those remarks (not all) and to include a nice looking dynamic picture.

Fapws4 is a re-write of fapws3, but using libraries like libuv and picohttpparser. So, the goal is to build a very fast python web server where most of the processing aspects are written in C. The developer using it, will have to simply write the logic of his web pages in Python.

In this blog, I will describe how I've build a simple, but still nice looking login screen based on xenodm.

As already discussed on this blog, I'm a user of Fapws3 since several years. I like his small foot print in memory, simplicity to use in Python. But it runs only with Python-2.x and cannot manage correctly POST commands with big files.

So, I've decided to jump into the C programming language and develop Fapws4. An evolution of Fapws3, that do not have those pain points.

In this blog, I will show you first results of Fapws4

With the posix tar command, we cannot exclude files' pattern like gnu-tar does. This article will propose some alternatives.

More and more persons are using a password storage system. Thanks to those systems, we can put complex passwords in our different applications. So, the next need is to create such complex password. This blog will explain how to do it. At the end of the blog, you will see how to perform this on OpenBSD in a simple and efficient way

I'm a vim user since several years. This blog explain how I move to neovim.

In this blog some news concerning the last changes implemented in yabitrot version 0.4

In this blog I'll share the method I'm using to upgrade my OpenBSD machines without using the console.

I'm still looking for a replacement to the good old fapws web server. So, in this blog, I will put fapws in front of web server written in Go

It was a good experience to present my NAS server to the fosdem. In this post I share some extra elements

On the unsplash website we can find lot of very nice pictures. Moreover they have a permissive license (check the unsplash license).

I share a very simple script allowing you to refresh your desktop's background at each logon, or when you want

Since several years, I'm using fapws3 for few of my websites. Mainly for servers where resources are limited.

Fapws3 has not received lot of commits since long time, so, this post will show my investigation to find an other tiny and fast python web server running python3

In order to be sure that the backups of my NAS were coherent and consistent, I was looking for a bit rotation scanner.

Unfortunately, I did not find what I need, so I've written mine.

This blog explain the why, the how, ...

I'm spending lot of energy to apply best practices on my servers.

But, maybe like several persons, my desktops and laptops are just a big mess of different softwares, lot of different config files, ...

And when comes the question of the backup, most of the elements must not be take into account. So, in my mind it's not necessary to take a backup. (my important documents are synchronised in an automatic way via rsync on my NAS).

Nevertheless, some files and directories requires lot of attentions and must be correctly backuped like ~/.config for example.

This blog is about an another locale backup script which allow to precisely select which files to backup.

Moreover it allow a versioning. Some OSX's users call it "time machine".
