Jun 11, 2023 - Quite a lot this time

June 11, 2023

Reading books

Finally done with the Kerberos book. A huge part of it is more like an instruction manual, where the author describes setting up Kerberos authentication on different operating systems, server software, etc. I skipped most of it, but I certainly appreciate everything else.

In addition to that, I started reading “ASN.1 Complete” by John Larmouth. I’m not sure if this has any practical interest to me, but I guess I’m curious enough to keep reading for now.

Spanish

Some more tapping on Duolingo. It doesn’t feel like I’m making a lot of progress, but I guess these things take time.

Programming

I’ve finally managed to find the time to work on my patch utilities. The patch parsing and serialization have been finalized, I’ve even thrown in some tests for good measure. Right now I’m working on a splitting algorithm, which is pretty much the reason why I started this whole project. Once it’s done, I’ll publish the repo. Hopefully next week.

Watch later

I’ve watched a couple of videos from this year’s Open Source Summit, but to be honest with you, they weren’t all that interesting to me. Maybe they weren’t as technical as I expected them to be. Hopefully the other talks will quench my thirst for technical details.

I’ve decided to include links to some of the more interesting things I stumble upon on the Internet. Mostly for easy reference in the future, but I think you can enjoy these things as well:

This Week’s Stylish Rating

Apocalyptic!

I think I’ve done a pretty good job this week.
