It hurts with every heartbleed - Kristian Glass - Do I Smell Burning?

http://blog.doismellburning.co.uk/2014/04/09/it-hurts-with-every-heartbleed

Kristian Glass - Do I Smell Burning? It Hurts With Every Heartbleed. Imagine you’re walking out of the front door when you see the postman carrying a bundle of letters. He gives you the top letter because it has your address. You then tell him that the next five are yours too. Without looking to check the address on them, he hands you the next five letters too. This pretty much describes the action at the core of The Heartbleed Bug. I want to explain things to people who. How big is this? That’s pr...

Go Read All The Stross - Kristian Glass - Do I Smell Burning?

http://blog.doismellburning.co.uk/2015/03/14/go-read-all-the-stross

Kristian Glass - Do I Smell Burning? Go Read All the Stross. Haven’t read everything by Charles Stross. Read has been awesome and I’d recommend it highly. I guess I’d describe a lot of it as “accessible hard sci-fi. Rdquo;, where the technology isn’t just “magic science” (like much of Star Wars and Star Trek), but its consequences and impact are considered and explored. What would life be like in a world where replicator technology. Exists, and memory editing is a possibility? First book of The Laundry F...

Kristian Glass - Do I Smell Burning? Is a one-day not-for-profit ‘unconference’ event focused on Continuous Delivery”. I was at Pipeline 2015 and it was excellent. Great talks, great people.

Twelve-Factor Config: Misunderstandings and Advice - Kristian Glass - Do I Smell Burning?

http://blog.doismellburning.co.uk/2014/10/06/twelve-factor-config-misunderstandings-and-advice

Kristian Glass - Do I Smell Burning? Twelve-Factor Config: Misunderstandings and Advice. At PyCon UK 2014. I gave a talk. About The Twelve-Factor App. Ldquo;a methodology for building software-as-a-service apps”. The Twelve-Factor stance on config. Ndash; “store [it] in the environment” – is probably the most misunderstood. If you take just one thing away from here, please make it this: 12factor says your applications should read their config from the environment; it has very little to say about how you.

Bringing Twelve-Factor to Django - Kristian Glass - Do I Smell Burning?

http://blog.doismellburning.co.uk/2014/04/02/bringing-12factor-to-django

Kristian Glass - Do I Smell Burning? Bringing Twelve-Factor to Django. If you’re in the business of making “web apps” and haven’t read The Twelve-Factor App. I thoroughly recommend rectifying that. Of particular note is the section on “Config”. Ndash; in short, apps should read configuration data (things likely to change across deploys, like resource URLs and authentication tokens) from environment variables, rather than having them hardcoded inside the app in some way. An all-too-common occurrence in.

Environment variables in nginx config - Kristian Glass - Do I Smell Burning?

http://blog.doismellburning.co.uk/2015/05/02/environment-variables-in-nginx-config

Kristian Glass - Do I Smell Burning? Environment Variables in Nginx Config. It turns out nginx. Doesn’t exactly support reading configuration from the environment. Fortunately the nice folk over at APITools have found a nice work-around. A default filter that strips all environment variables inherited from the parent process. Which allows pass-through of environment variables. Which executes some Lua code and stores the output in a given variable. Then all the Lua you need is. And so here I am. Personal ...

Kristian Glass - Do I Smell Burning? If you’re using TalkTalk, you’re probably not reading this, because this blog is on their filter list. The same filter that failed to block Pornhub. The UK government has been promoting filters to prevent “young people” from seeing content that is supposed to be for over 18s, and this has gone about as well as expected (to be absolutely clear: it’s gone pretty badly).
