Claude Code has considerably changed my relationship to writing and maintaining code at scale. I still write code at the same level of quality, but I feel like I have a new freedom of expression which is hard to fully articulate.
Claude Code has decoupled myself from writing every line of code, I still consider myself fully responsible for everything I ship to Puzzmo, but the ability to instantly create a whole scene instead of going line by line, word by word is incredibly powerful.

I have been exploring some new tools here and there. When I started watching Primeagen, I took a note of several tools that he was using and advocating for. One of them was tmux.
What is tmux? tmux is a terminal multiplexer. What that means is you can have many terminals in one. According to tmux wiki:
tmux is a program which runs in a terminal and allows multiple other terminal programs to be run inside it. Each program inside tmux gets its own terminal managed by tmux, which can be accessed from the single terminal where tmux is running - this called multiplexing and tmux is a terminal multiplexer.

When working on my homelab, I regularly need to pass credentials to my tools. A naive approach is to just store the token in clear text, but there's a better alternative.

Introduction K8s is already a crucial part in the VMware ecosystem for many years and the level of integration in other products like NSX and AVI changed a lot in the past. That is also true for the naming like “vSphere with Tanzu”, “vSphere IaaS” and “VKS” and perhaps more changes in the future. For this blog post we will bring some spotlight to the integration for VKS with NSX VPCs, which is from my point of view a great enhancement from tenancy point of view.

In this post, I demonstrate the optimal workflow for creating new Debian packages in 2025, preserving the upstream Git history. The motivation for this is to lower the barrier for sharing improvements to and from upstream, and to improve software provenance and supply-chain security by making it easy to inspect every change at any level using standard Git tooling.\nKey elements of this workflow include:\nUsing a Git fork/clone of the upstream repository as the starting point for creating Debian packaging repositories. Consistent use of the same git-buildpackage commands, with all package-specific options in gbp.conf. DEP-14 tag and branch names for an optimal Git packaging repository structure. Pristine-tar and upstream signatures for supply-chain security. Use of Files-Excluded in the debian/copyright file to filter out unwanted files in Debian. Patch queues to easily rebase and cherry-pick changes across Debian and upstream branches. Efficient use of Salsa, Debian’s GitLab instance, for both automated feedback from CI systems and human feedback from peer reviews. To make the instructions so concrete that anyone can repeat all the steps themselves on a real package, I demonstrate the steps by packaging the command-line tool Entr. It is written in C, has very few dependencies, and its final Debian source package structure is simple, yet exemplifies all the important parts that go into a complete Debian package:\n

TLDR

We all love Python’s comprehensive standard library, but let’s face it – PyPI’s wealth of packages often becomes essential. Sharing single-file, self-contained Python scripts that rely on these external tools can be a headache. Historically, we’ve relied on requirements.txt or full-fledged package managers such as Poetry or pipenv, which can be overkill for simple scripts and intimidating for newcomers. But what if there was a simpler way? That’s where uv and PEP 723 come in. This article delves into how uv harnesses PEP 723 to embed dependencies directly within scripts, making distribution and execution extremely easy.

Let’s Encrypt protects a vast portion of the Web by providing TLS certificates to over 550 million websites—a figure that has grown by 42% in the last year alone. We currently issue over 340,000 certificates per hour. To manage this immense traffic and maintain responsiveness under high demand, our infrastructure relies on rate limiting. In 2015, we introduced our first rate limiting system, built on MariaDB. It evolved alongside our rapidly growing service but eventually revealed its limits: straining database servers, forcing long reset times on subscribers, and slowing down every request.
