The things in my virtual toolbox.
- archivebox – DIY personalized WayBack Machine. This is the closest thing I have to something that does what I want for bookmarks management.
- HTTPie – a user-friendly command-line HTTP client for the API era. It comes with JSON support, syntax highlighting, persistent sessions, wget-like downloads, plugins, and more.
- magic-wormhole – A python library for getting things from one computer to another, safely.
- Org Mode – A GNU Emacs major mode for convenient plain text markup — and much more. Great when combined with
pandoc.
- Pandoc – A universal document converter.
- pass – the standard unix password manager
- rclone – It’s like
rsync for the cloud.
- testssl.sh – a free command line tool which checks a server’s service on any port for the support of TLS/SSL ciphers, protocols as well as recent cryptographic flaws and more.
- Insomnia – Open Source API Client (REST and GraphQL). An absolute must-have.
- Lens – The Kubernetes IDE for
(debugging|devops|development|operations|monitoring).
Websites
- hackmd.io - Real-time collaborative Markdown editing.
- JumpCloud – I use this as “LDAP as a service”. Sure, I could use
openldap Docker containers but using jumpcloud is much easier. Free for up to 10 users. (Read about using JumpCloud with GitLab: [ldap-gitlab-jumpcloud])
- nginxconfig.io – The easiest way to configure a performant, secure and stable NGINX server.
- What’s My Chain Cert? – This site tests if your server is serving the correct certificate chain, tells you what chain you should be serving, and helps you configure your server to serve it.
File Transfer Options
I quite like magic-wormhole for non-sensitive file transfers.
The development of croc was inspired by magic-wormhole and croc intends to address some of the limitations with magic-wormhole usage.
