wp-update.sh

A simple tool to update and upgrade Wordpress components

A few years ago, I hosted my blog on Dreamhost. They've customized something inside the blog which means it doesn't automatically update itself. I've long since moved this blog off to my own hosting, but I can't figure out which thing it was they changed, and I've got so much content and stuff in here, I don't really want to mess with it.

Anyway, I like keeping my systems up to date, and I hate logging into a blog and finding updates are pending, so I wrote this script. It uses wp-cli which I have installed to /usr/local/bin/wp as per the install guide.

Using Vagrant with Multi-Node MicroK8S to experiment with Kubernetes

This script (using Vagrant) is used to build a pair of Ubuntu based virtual machines that have the MicroK8S setup of Kubernetes.

It also installs docker, and sets up aliases for kubectl in line with the MicroK8S documentation.

Please note that this script relies on the fact that Vagrant transfers files in /vagrant to the host file system, which we can then use to setup the second node.

This Virtual Machine (using Vagrant) to build an Ubuntu based virtual machine that has the MicroK8S setup of Kubernetes.

It also installs docker, and sets up aliases for kubectl in line with the MicroK8S documentation.

Initially this should be functionally similar to MiniKube.

If you want a multi-node similar environment, here's a similar repository.

Sanitized Outlook Event Forwarding

This is an example of what I use with my work calendar, when I need to forward something to my personal calendar.

This macro does not include any of the meeting content (who will be there, what the content is), but is just to block out the time to prevent your personal and professional lives from overlapping. This macro will create a new appointment for the time window, optionally including the subject (or replace it with [WORK]) and optionally including the location (or replace it with [WORK]).

After the invite has been sent, it deletes the invite, so it doesn't look like you've got two meetings at the same time.

Add your subnets to the list starting at line 76 called "make_subnets", run pip3 install -r requirements.txt and then python3 phpipam_bulk_add_subnets.py

Your result should be like this:
