Just reported a fork of one of my repos modified to host malware for the 3rd time to @github.com . No response on any of them, and the user keeps reposting the malware. I guess that how you know you have made it!

I always wanted to improve Gaucamole (the apache not avocado kind). I don't know if I have - I managed to vibe code something substantial with Claude code though. It was a fun experience, so now I guess I maintain a new open source project: github.com/sol1/rustguac

As a lot of you know I've been doing a lot of work with Knocknoc... we published a demo of their tech to our YouTube channel yesterday. It's a simple overview that also shows off the new (very simple) identity aware reverse proxy feature... it's very cool www.youtube.com/watch?v=MnNX...

I published a Soap Box episode today featuring my good friend Adam Pointon, CEO of Knocknoc. You’ve all heard me talking a lot about this company, so here’s a decent breakdown of what it is they actually do Audio: risky.biz/soapbox94/ Video: youtu.be/kPd85kW09oE?...

Automating networking configurations with NetBox source of truth and AI Agents youtu.be/ypK3l6pWm90?...

Got a Netbox Community Call locked in to demo our Bookstack and Netbox integration. It's like 3am my time, so it's always a rough day for me.

I still get a thrill meeting people and explaining what Netbox and Icinga working together can do, and hearing them say stuff like "I'm speechless", and "what do you mean no licensing?". A game-changer for many business models.

I've joined the Knocknoc.io board and I wanted to see if I could get their CEO Adam Pointon to demo the product in 60 seconds and... it turns out I could! You can tie your network controls to SSO with this stuff.. it's extremely cool and I'm thrilled to be involved
