about 10 years ago i created a style guide for Bash scripts - how I write them, how I avoid pitfalls, my aesthetic preferences, etc. I now created a dedicated website for it that you can access on your browser or in your terminal - check it out!

i love zfs… but the flow of time is always cruel. deleting snapshots i’ll never touch from almost a decade ago. wild.

finished up my simple stack trace library for bash - it's a single function inside a single file so it's super easy to use. github.com/bahamas10/ba...

`vardump` in Bash - I finally got around to cleaning up the source code and published it as its own library (a single bash function) - this is super useful for debugging and I've used for it years when writing bash. github.com/bahamas10/ba...

i love nagios for my home network so much. it’s not exactly critical - it noticed i was currently in the process of swapping out spinning disks for nvme drives! thanks to ZFS i can resilver the pool while its online and serving traffic. ZFS is the best filesystem ever i swear.
