After hunting for security bugs I've realized clients I’m working with are not familiar enough (or at all) with basic “hacking” techniques. API keys, passwords, SSH encrypted keys, and certificates are all great mechanisms of protection, as long they are kept secret. javascript, node.js, programming, security, syndicated, web dev

Caching your GitHub credentials in Git

If you clone GitHub repositories using SSH, then you authenticate using an SSH key instead of using other credentials. For information about setting up an SSH connection, see "Generating an SSH Key." Install Git and the osxkeychain helper and tell Git to use it. javascript, programming, syndicated, web dev

Known Questions

2 min read

These are some questions I have about my Known server instance.

Q1. Redis Support?

My web host supports Redis. Anyone know if there is a plugin for Known which activates Redis cache? Does it make sense to activate Redis for a single-user Known site?

Q2. AsynchronousQueue on a shared web host without sudo access?

Also, I'm on a shared web host where I have access to a limited SSH access, without sudo; how can I set up Known cron for the AsynchronousQueue event queue?

Q3. Which PHP 7.3 Extensions should be active?

Which PHP (7.3) extensions should be active for a Known server instance? See my list here in the screenshot below:

Q4. RESOLVED - How can I get the Twitter POSSE plugin working?

I currently need to manually mention the https://brid.gy publish webmention endpoints to repost my posts and status updates. The Twitter plugin by Known doesn't work on my server. Suspecting an outdated dependency on the tmhOAuh PHP library. Would be awesome if I can get that to work.

Resolution: update the tmhOAuth plugin and cacert.pem certificate.

Q5. Tagging with Known input forms is missing the dedicated tags field

Check why.

Got a #RaspBerry Pi 3 b+ today!
Finally got the device and I'm setting it up as a home #server. Going to set up #PuckJS and use it as a Bluetooth-to-internet gateway. Installed firstly Raspbian and got the ssh access working.
