A big part of my work has to do with code. I’ve worked as system administrator – installing, patching, and configuring someone else’s code. I’ve worked as independent programmer, writing code on my own. I also programmed as part of the team. And on top of that, I worked as Team Leader and Project Manager, where I had to interact a lot with programmers. Programming world on its own is as huge as the universe. There is always something to learn. When I find something worthy or something that I understand enough to write about, I share it in this category.
“The Book of Secret Knowledge” is a collection of awesome lists, manuals, blogs, hacks, one-liners, cli/web tools and more. It is intended for everyone and anyone – especially for System and Network Administrators, DevOps, Pentesters or Security Researchers.

Back when Let’s Encrypt started giving out free SSL certificates, one bit that visible all over the web was the “well-known” directory. I never thought much about it – it’s just a name after all.
Turns out, there is actually an RFC 5785 that defines a standard for the well-known uniform resource identifiers (URIs). And that’s a lot more generic than just the bit that Let’s Encrypt needs.
Accidentally stumbled upon this while reading “A Well-Known URL for Changing Passwords” draft.
Faces of Open Source is an on-going photographic documentation of the people behind the development and advancement of the open source revolution that has transformed the technology industry.
Given the immense contribution of these people to the world around us, I find it surprising that they are so far from the celebrity status and most people in the world won’t know any of these faces. Even people in technology sector itself, won’t probably name even half of these people by the picture alone. For some, even the name won’t mean anything.
Kudos to this project for trying to make these faces slightly more familiar and for giving credit where credit is due.
If you’ve ever written a bash script with variables, and know that it wasn’t your last one, I promise you, you’ll love this wiki page. It covers a whole lot of different ways to expand and manipulate variable values in bash, all on a single, conveniently organized page.
Jeff Geerling shares the best way to get the full PHP version string. I’d think that “php –version” externally or “echo PHP_VERSION” internally would do the job. However, that’s not exactly right, as there are a number of inconsistencies on different platforms. The best option seems to be the combination of the PHP_MAJOR_VERSION, PHP_MINOR_VERSION, and PHP_RELEASE_VERSION constants.
$ php -r 'echo join(".",[PHP_MAJOR_VERSION,PHP_MINOR_VERSION,PHP_RELEASE_VERSION]);'
