Setting up BIND can be a challenge in of itself. Interfaces can be make things easier, but it isn’t always quiet obvious how-to go about achieving what you want, and still require some knowledge of BIND/named configuration.
As with OPNsense DNS plugin, can be quite tricky to get right. This post is how I got my internal domain, hq.cormier.co, setup in OPNsense, complete with reverse zones.
I recently purchased a Synology DS920+ NAS to use as a host for Linux containers and manage it via the Docker API and Terraform. This post is how I got the device to do exactly that. As to the name of the device, it is named after a ReBoot character.
I have been doing some work with security certifcates lately and had the chance to document the creation of PKCS12/PFX archives using command line tools without first having CSR/private key in a key store.
Most are familar with the following work flow of obtaining a security certificate…
Voila! PFX Archive!
But… if you have the private key on a file system some where and not in a key store (Windows or Java), the work flow changes.
Note: Remeber to password protect any export of certificates with private keys with strong passwords
To bundle those together in a PKCS12/PFX archive file you can use OpenSSL command line tool, I am sure there are others. Available on all major flavors of Linux and installable other operating systems.
I have been performing a bit of localization lately on an Xcode project and was looking for a way to reduce human errors due to typos and other human errors.
The best method I found was to create a separate a simple Translation.swift file to storage all the i18n code. Here I extend the LocalizedStringKey struct with my own project based localized strings for easy access on the Xcode autocomplete menu.
