Hackathon ideas

using retina scan images / face recognition as an authenticator for Conjur

CLI command: `conjur authn explain`

shows you which environment variables and files are being used to establish your identity.

or perhaps as a verbose flag to `conjur authn whoami`

create an Emacs plugin that rearranges CSS rules according to criteria:

• logical grouping (eg. sizing, positioning)
• alphabetical ordering
• by length of key

Summary of "Untangling Jenkins"

and ideas for further writing

Goal: improve developer and operator happiness

Problems leading to paralysis

1. no. of Jenkins jobs
2. dependencies (on various packages needed by job executors)
3. a feeling (from dev & ops perspective) of overall complexity

Conjur Authenticators vs authn-local

A Comparison:

	Authenticators	authn-local
audience	end-users	Conjur developers/integrators
purpose	authenticate a user or host	create an auth token
access	exposed externally via an API	exposed inside the container via a UNIX socket
restrictions	imposed by the design (eg ldap authenticator can only auth ldap users)	none

Setting up Conjur with just docker and bash

Many of our demos require docker-compose and a compose file, plus maybe a startup script to get started with Conjur. That's convenient because it gives great reproducibility, and I personally like docker-compose a lot, but in this gist I want to show off how to get a Conjur server up and running with only docker and bash, nothing more.

This was performed on my dev machine running macOS 10.13.5, with Docker version 18.03.1-ce and GNU bash, version 3.2.57.

The Three Best Software Community Chat Options for 2019

For an online community built around software, the best chat options are Gitter, Zulip, and Matrix. I'll start with some traits they all share, then break out into strengths of each.

Gitter, Zulip and Matrix/riot.im are:

• excellent: they do the job with practically no drawbacks
• accessible: they make it easy for people to join your community
• free software
