XCP-NG is an open source hypervisor platform; an operating system and tools to run virtual machines on a pool of computers, with a powerful web-based management interface. The hypervisor is based on Xen, with extensions to allow it to be managed by a CLI or the XenOrchestra web UI. If you’re familiar with VMware ESXi […]
7.3.2025 18:40Installing XCP-NG on Apple HardwareThis started as a couple of paragraphs as part of something larger. It seems I struggle with brevity. These are two concepts that get muddled up a lot, but simply put one is about proving who you are. The second describes what you are allowed to do. Authentication Authentication (proving who you are) is usually […]
26.3.2023 22:53Authentication and AuthorisationThis started as me just jotting down some quick thoughts about possible ways to implement portable identities in Mastodon. It sort of grew a bit. Sorry. I’ve split off some of the chunks into other articles where that made sense. Disclaimer: I’m not an expert on ActivityPub or Mastodon internals. I’m really just thinking through […]
26.3.2023 22:52More on Mastodon and Portable IdentitiesI finally heard back from Fox, a “Happiness Engineer” at WordPress who suggested (very unhelpfully) that I could just try logging in with my account password instead. Of course, I couldn’t do that. I had to go to the WordPress website and trigger a password reset from there before I could log in. Wasn’t possible […]
21.3.2023 22:42A Quick Followup to My Mobile Onboarding StoryWay back in the before times, when people weren’t using the word “pandemic” in every day speech, the ineffable YouTube algorithm suggested a video of two guys reacting to a Nickelback song. Intrigued (and probably bored), I clicked and watched with amusement as two hip hop fans started getting excited about a fairly mediocre rock […]
19.3.2023 00:21YouTube Music Reaction ChannelsThis post started as a series of toots in the Fediverse Identity Discussion group. I’ve just tidied it up a bit and fixed some typos. I think it’s worth spending some time discussing what the design goals are for “Identity”, establishing some common vocabulary and laying out what current solutions already exist in other parts […]
17.3.2023 19:58Identity and MastodonAt the risk of getting too navel gazey, a follow up post on my first steps with WordPress. When we left things last time I had a couple of blog posts, but also still some cruft left over from the template I chose. Turns out I had another Page called “Homepage” that came as part […]
16.3.2023 15:04More WordPress BloggingYou would think that WordPress, having been around for a long time, would have a slick onboarding process to get you up and running with a blog in next to no time, with the minimum of fuss. You would be wrong. So, I decided to start a blog. I know about WordPress. I know it […]
15.3.2023 23:35WordPress Mobile Onboarding is TerribleThis blog is intended to be a place to upload my long form musings. Basically any chunk of text that’s too long for a 500 character Mastodon post (or too annoying as a storm of them threaded together). And this first post is more of a test, just to see how it works.
