I made an API for bind9! Want to see it in action – jump to here in the setup vid:https://youtu.be/ZNEtmWhu1HI?t=375 Recently I have been looking for an api for a bind server.

Reading Jlelse’s blog here (https://jlelse.blog/dev/telegram-go/) I realised there is another alternative to using an automation tool like IFTTT or Microsoft Power Automate, is to use a messaging app like Discord or Telegram.

Note – The “Request” trigger used in this post is only available on a Premium Power Automate account. If you want this for personal use, I suggest you look at using IFTTT instead, see my guide here: https://jaytuckey.name/2020/04/21/making-a-simple-phone-notification-tool-using-ifttt-available-on-a-free-account/ Many of us have access through our work to Microsoft Power Automate, previously called Microsoft Flow.

When I heard about the xonsh project – https://xon.sh I thought it sounded great, as I really enjoy the python language and am much more comfortable using python to write scripts than I am using bash. I also find the bash syntax very confusing, and am never sure of the right way to write a […]
