I'll give a brief outline of how to enable HTTP/2 cleartext (h2c) in a Go API server when you are using Go 1.24 or newer. This is useful in Cloud Run environments, which handles TLS termination but can take advantage of HTTP/2 features.

Thanks for giving me a viable business model Amazon!
While starting my first year at the Colorado School of Mines, I came across a rather interesting fact: the local DNS servers will assign a subdomain to each device that connects to the network. This means that a device called “meow” will be visible as “meow.mines.edu” on any campus wifi, though the network still…
In the US, you can get a domain name like `somename.city.state.us` for free. If your town has its own domain, you can get nameservers from Amazon Lightsail, send the *Interim .US Domain Template* to the delegated manager for your locality, then point DNS entries at your webhost.
On digital sovereignty, and why European cloud is better than you think
A series of unfortunate events.
I was one of the very first advocates for AWS back when it was brand new - SQS, S3, EC2 SimpleDB - it was a lot smaller back then. In fact I...
My micro site, zero.btxx.org , is being served to the public internet from a Raspberry Pi Zero v1.3 running Alpine Linux.
On April 29th CVE-2026-31431 was publicly disclosed at https://copy.fail/ . This vulnerability allows a local unprivileged user to obtain a root shell by running the Python script shared by the author.
Diskless Linux Boot
fresh OI install, clean slate, let's see how well the updated OI Sun Ray support works
In the previous post about SELinux MCS and GitLab runners, I briefly mentioned CVE-2026-31431 (“Copy Fail”) as a motivating example for per-job VM isolation. After that post went out I spent the weekend setting up a lab to actually run the exploit, trace it at the syscall level, and verify that the rootless Podman…
Bun is excellent software. Anthropic owns it now, Bun sits under Claude Code, and Claude Code getting worse makes me worried Bun could follow the same enshittification path.
Though wind and solar continue to carve out larger and larger shares of world energy supply, the modern world still runs on petroleum, and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future.
I already had 2.5Gb/s working. Here's how I upgraded the whole house to 10Gb/s Ethernet -- including real iperf3 numbers, MikroTik switches, scary thermals, and what actually worked.
Anne Robinson would like a word with .github/workflows
Today is fundraising announcement day . As is the nature of writing for a larger audience, it is a formal, safe announcement. As it should be. Writing must necessarily become impersonal at scale. But I would like to write something personal about why I am doing this. What is the goal of building exe.dev ? I am already…
As a follow-up to the similar milestone reached for our WSL image a few months ago, I’m happy to share that Arch Linux now has a bit-for-bit reproducible Docker image! This bit-for-bit reproducible image is distributed under a new “repro” tag. The reason for this is due to one noticeable caveat: to ensure…
What nginx logs actually prove about AI traffic from ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity, plus why Google's AI crawlers leave a different signal than the others.

A real-world production migration from DigitalOcean to Hetzner dedicated, handling 248 GB of MySQL data across 30 databases, 34 Nginx sites, GitLab EE, Neo4j, and live mobile app traffic — with zero downtime.
TLDR: Despite claiming to backup all your data, Backblaze quietly stopped backing up OneDrive and Dropbox folders - along with potentially many other things.

I just want S3. My needs are pretty basic. I don't need to scale out. I don't need replication. I just need something that can do S3 and is reliable and not slow. Minio is dead, they pulled the plug after axing the interface. They archived the repo so they …
