I’ve recently been playing with the Hyperscript (https://hyperscript.org/) tool, and I’ve been really liking it. I set myself the challenge of making a HTML form, and adding the ability to add tags to the form. So how might we achieve this? Lets start with a simple HTML form: Now how can we send the tags? […]

To backup my server I uses a tool called restic (https://restic.net/) – It’s great. I’ve recently been testing out using MEGA (https://mega.io/) as the backend storage for my backups, and to integrate that with restic, you use rclone (https://rclone.org/) as a storage driver. Sounds complicated, but it’s really not:restic –talks-to–> rclone –talks-to–> mega However, during […]

We also look into how me can make messages quicker to distribute. For this code we use the trio functionality to wait for limited time for a task to complete, by using […]

We build out the functionality to receive messages, then distribute them to all connected users. For this part we use Trio’s nurseries to start up new running tasks: https://trio.readthedocs.io/en/stable/reference-core.html#nurseries-and-spawning We use the nursery.start_soon() function to kick off new tasks […]
Series Part 1: https://jaytuckey.name/2021/07/22/trio-tutorial-simple-tcp-chat-program-part-1/ In part 2 we look at making a tool to assist with testing the TCP server we are building: We use the built-in python socket library in the testclient: https://docs.python.org/3/library/socket.html Got any questions?

I’ve made a video about making a simple TCP-based program using Python and Trio. The video is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6JM1hgjLV-A The features I plan to build are: each user has a long running tcp connection user is asked for name on connection user sends message each other connected user receives the message In part 1 we […]
I’ve recently been using the htmx (https://htmx.org/) javascript library to make some simple Flask web applications I have made a bit more dynamic. The page is very simple, but contains a big table of data in the center. It has a form at the top of the page that allows you to write simple queries […]
We use phpIPAM to manage all our IP Addresses, and we have recently built integrations between phpIPAM and our Kea DHCP server for reservations, and also into our BIND DNS server. These have been running on a schedule, which has worked well, but doing it that way means that it can take a while after […]
This is a simple script to send an email via MS’s O365 Service: Note how you need to set up an SSL context and perform .starttls() to properly create a secure connection.
I’ve been moving a bunch of my shell scripts to python recently, because of how much better it handles the concept of “a process didn’t run successfully”. Consider the bash script: What happens here if Command 2 fails? Note that we still get the success message at the end – bash silently ignored our error-ing […]
