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).

One to read: “Walking the DWeb walk”
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 :)

One to read: “Automating backups on a Raspberry Pi NAS”
In the first part of this three-part series using a Raspberry Pi for network-attached storage (NAS), we covered the fundamentals of the NAS setup, attached two 1TB hard drives (one for data and one for backups), and mounted the data drive on a remote device via the network filesystem (NFS). In part two, we will look at automating backups. Automated backups allow you to continually secure your data and recover from a hardware defect or accidental file removal.

One to read: “The 4 Core Capabilities of DevOps”
Sometimes, I don’t actually link to these articles for the text… sometimes I link to them for a single image. In this case, it’s absolutely because of the image at the end… (just before the advert for their course ;) )
Having worked in places with all three sets of attributes [1] this table is very interesting… I wonder what your organisation feels like to you, and what would it take to get you to a good place?
[1] “Modest cooperation”, “Messengers shot”, “Narrow responsibilities”, “Bridging tolerated”, “Failure leads to inquiry” and “Novelty crushed” was one of the more …. challenging places to work in, but the people were nice, so there’s that ;)
