Testing out live terminal session replays on my blog.
Same "easy viewing" of a proof of concept as a gif/video except:
1. Super easy to record `asciinema rec file.cast`
2. Super easy to host on my site
3. The best part.... you can copy/paste the text from the terminal replay 🤯

Having it all stored in git is also super handy.
The past version I used "worked" and was much fancier but was totally over engineered. It stored annotations as extended attributes, had a fancy TUI, could mark/star files, etc but... I'm not sure. It felt clunky.

I've gone through a couple iterations of this over the past year or so with varying degrees of success. This doesn't have a ton of bells and whistles but works well by running: `note filename "description"`
No more random `dump.pcap`, `dump2.pcap`, `poc_working_final_2.sh`

A simple .bashrc function lets me quickly annotate a file using git notes. I initially tried to use commits for this but it got a bit clunky and confusing when multiple files were involved.

When looking for obscure issues I always end up with tons files like: poc_final_final2.sh
I don't always have time to organize things without the potential of losing my train of thought so I've been trying to find an easy solution. This is my most recent attempt:

Pass is a really cool CLI and GPG based password manager that follows the Unix Philosophy. Do one thing and do it well.

Every week I post a summary of what security ideas I've been thinking about.
This week it's mostly ideas from myself discussing the threats and opportunities of AI as well as why I think we're seeing a shift away from the cloud.

ZSTD: github.com/facebook/zstd
Pretty good compression algo even with default settings. Took ~540GB data down to 427GB.
1. Set the dir to backup.
2. Calculate the size (in kilobytes)
3. Use tar to create an archive, pipe to PV for a progress bar then compress with zstd.

This one was new to me. Jdupes de-deuplcates files on your filesystem. I ran it over a bunch of my backup folders and was able to remove about 500GB of data. Turns out I had my VMs folder backed up multiple times.
