Linkdump Week 40 / 2020

It is Linkdump time again. I fixed some things during the week, so my https://github.com/Shaarli/Shaarli[Shaarli instance] can use the API now. I do a lot of research and reading on mobile devices (tablet and phone). Now I can share important articles through https://stakali.toneiv.eu/[Stakali], add short notes and do followups on my other devices (tablet, computer). To automate the linkdump posts, I created a short https://gitlab.com/stoeps/shaarli2hugo[Python script to collect my saved bookmarks] (marked with the tag linkdump) and create an asccidoc document for my hugo instance. So I can do a quick review and post it.

Shaarli creates a https://shaarli.stoeps.de/?do=daily[daily overview] and a https://shaarli.stoeps.de/?do=tagcloud[tag cloud] of saved bookmarks.

A long pause after creating the last linkdump. Not sure why, because I read a lot. So this time some of my readings on Kubernetes, Security and Vim.

The last two weeks I didn’t read that much, I checked some Youtube videos and blogs about CTF and pentesting. One of the most impressive ones are the LiveOverflow videos and blogposts. So when you’re interested in that topic too, just check the links above.
