One to read: “Using HEREDOCs in bash to grep exit code details”
This accidentally included the content of the blog post I was recommending reading, and has been removed.
It explains how you could use HEREDOC blocks to automatically document your exit codes, and looked quite interesting.
One to read: “What nobody tells you about documentation”
Really great article – highlighting there are four different documentation styles, and likely you need all four (which is why people don’t read your documentation).

I recently was doing some research for my appearance on TechSNAP, and could have done with finding this link before I recorded the show. It’s a great summary of how to put your website on IPFS. Definitely worth a look!

One to read: “A Beginner’s Guide to IPFS”
Ever wondered about IPFS (the “Inter Planetary File System”) – a new way to share and store content. This doesn’t rely on a central server (e.g. Facebook, Google, Digital Ocean, or your home NAS) but instead uses a system like bittorrent combined with published records to keep the content in the system.
If your host goes down (where the original content is stored) it’s also cached on other nodes who have visited your site.
These caches are cleared over time, so are suitable for short outages, or you can have other nodes who “pin” your content (and this can be seen as a paid solution that can fund hosts).
IPFS is great at hosting static content, but how to deal with dynamic content? That’s where PubSub comes into play (which isn’t in this article). There’s a database service which sits on IPFS and uses PubSub to sync data content across the network, called Orbit-DB.
It’s looking interesting, especially in light of the announcement from CloudFlare about their introduction of an available IPFS gateway.
It’s looking good for IPFS!

One to read: “Overview of TLS v1.3”
Wondering what TLS v1.3 means to your web browsing? OWASP break it down into what the differences are between TLS1.2 and TLS1.3. It’s a really good set of slides and would be great if you need so show someone some of the moving pieces without reading the RFS (RFC8446). It’s good :)

This is a fascinating episode. Jason Scott works for the Internet Archive, personally hosts a large archive of historic BBS text files, and is an engaging interviewee (plus, he talks a lot :) )
If you’re interested in how archive.org works (including how they choose disks for their storage, how content is processed and managed, whether they keep spam, how many hours of “sermons” have been stored, etc), or what happens when you get sued for USD2,000,000,000, it’s well worth a listen.
