• Estimating (LLM) bot traffic on my website • 24 Jan 2026
  TL;DR: I configured local log analytics reporting on my site with goaccess and pforret/goax, a bash wrapper script, to analyse regular, SEO and LLM bot traffic. I then also extended my fail2ban configuration to ban vulnerability scanning bots.

• Detecting excessive SSD wear on Apple Silicon M1 machines • 22 Feb 2021
  Some more professional users of the new M1 Macbooks are experiencing extremely high drive writes over relatively short time. The most severe cases have “consumed” about 10-13% of the maximum warrantable TBW (Total Bytes Written) value of the SSDs (given their capacity & using values for equivalent market-available NVMe drives). • Feb 17, 2021 linustechtips.com
• Private repos on Laravel Forge: Spark and Mailcoach • 10 Dec 2020
  I’m developing a new service and I’ve decided to go all-in on Laravel.

• Converge already! (Struggling with WLBS) • 19 May 2004
  I hate when things don’t go my way. One server in our NLB (Network Load Balancing) cluster did not want to join the cluster anymore. When I issued a wlbs start, it tried for a couple of seconds to join the cluster, but then remained in ‘Converging’ state. A couple of times I saw an entry in the System Log " ... does not have the same number or type of port rules ...".
