Running a homelab when you’re interested in a technology field is key to learning new things and keeping skills sharp . I’m also a big fan of free, so you’ll see everything I’ve listed here is free and something you can run yourself (assuming you have the hardware). Here’s my current version, which I’ll break…

A Look at the Vulnerable Internet Through LeakIX
We all know that there are vulnerable things on the internet, but for some reason I’m always left surprised by how many vulnerable or compromised things there are floating around out there.

Output to web from terminal
I found myself on a terminal console session with no easy way to get output off the machine. I came across dpaste.com and it worked perfectly. In this example, you can replace the find command with whatever you need, and then curl the output as content to the dpaste.com API.
