💡Characters & Compose key: how to type unusual characters in Linux
A devoted reader of my blog might have noticed that I care about typography. For instance, my use of em-dash — which I love — or ⌀, the diameter symbol. That involves the use of special techniques while typing.
It’s also worth noting that many people prefer to communicate with emojis over letters nowadays (which is even reflected in modern architecture).
While it’s quite trivial to enter such characters on a smartphone, it may get tricky when it comes to a Linux desktop. But fear not, for that is actually taken care of: there are even multiple ways of inserting your favourite 🐱.
once.to ‣ September update: statistics, redirects, abuse reports
We’re back with a number of updates about the world’s fastest link shortener once.to!
This edition’s highlights: phishing, abuse, slugs and redirects!
Dirty Rotten Scoundrels
Shortly after once.to went out of beta the service got flooded with phishing and otherwise malevolent links. There were dozens of them created during a short timespan, all leading to pages mimicking login pages of banks, Facebook, Google and so on.
Kubernetes Application Developer certification
Yesterday’s Friday 13th proved to be a lucky day for me as I became a Certified Kubernetes Application Developer (CKAD).
For those not familiar with Kubernetes (K8s), it’s the most popular and advanced platform for cloud deployments. It’s been initially developed by Google, and is used in nearly every mature cloud these days.
It also runs our once.to URL shortener, by the way.
Kubernetes is an awesome platform: powerful, flexible, and — last but not least — open-source.
But back to the certification: as always, there are nuances, which I’d like to share with you, hopefully they can be of use.
