Automating Daily Reports, because fuck it, really...

Each day at our company, developers are required to document their activities, painstakingly jotting down their daily work and future plans. A monotonous chore that I just really dislike.

So now, there's a scribe for that :

Code

karolba

A way to install Alpine Linux on a Scaleway Stardust instance without the use of a rescue image, but by booting into the install image over the network using https://netboot.xyz.

1. Connect to the serial console, using scw instance server console {uuid} zone={zone}

2. Reboot the VM into UEFI settings

   • either by executing systemctl reboot --firmware on the machine
   • or by using scw instance server reboot {uuid} zone={zone} locally and repeatedly mashing the escape key on the serial console

3. Go to Device Manager -> Network Device List -> the only network device -> HTTP Boot Configuration -> Boot URI

Docker in Docker (rootless) - Audit

This is just a quick test to see if we can jailbreak rootless Docker-in-Docker.

The pod we're using has 2 containers, one that runs the daemon, and one that keeps the user separated from the privileged pod completely.

We have created deploy.yaml and we have dind-rootless running.

$ kubectl get pods
NAME                             READY   STATUS    RESTARTS   AGE
dind-rootless-5ddddf649b-sk9bv   2/2     Running   0          106s

1. Reboot into the rescue image
2. Then execute these commands:

cd /dev/shm
mkdir alpine
cd alpine
wget https://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/v3.16/releases/x86_64/alpine-minirootfs-3.16.0-x86_64.tar.gz
tar xzvf alpine*
mount -t proc /proc proc/
mount -t sysfs /sys sys/

A half-hour to learn Zig

This is inspired by https://fasterthanli.me/blog/2020/a-half-hour-to-learn-rust/

Basics

the command zig run my_code.zig will compile and immediately run your Zig program. Each of these cells contains a zig program that you can try to run (some of them contain compile-time errors that you can comment out to play with)
