While not a difficult task to pull off, starting a pipeline in the AWS Console for CodePipeline does tend to be a confusing thing when somebody has never done it before. The reason for this is the naming of the action. The AWS Console doesn’t have a big shiny “Start”

I did the unthinkable the other day. I attempted to upgrade my Debian home server (sherver) from Debian 10 to 11. In doing so, I fat fingered something in /etc/apt/sources.list. I then proceeded to run the usual update and upgrade commands, not paying any attention to any output. Then I

Coming from MySQL / MariaDB, I was surprised that I couldn’t kill a query on an Amazon’s Relational Database Service or Amazon Aurora with the kill command. Fortunately, the functionality isn’t omitted, it’ just buried under some AWS RDS specific command. Before we go over that, let’s go over how

New Ubuntu and Node.js versions released recently. While neither is a long-term service (LTS) release, they still represent the best that both parties have to offer. Even though Ubuntu 20.10 is here, it’s still shipping with an older version of Node.js, v12.x to be exact. If you’re like me, you

Redis is one of my favorite data stores. The multitude of data types makes it flexible enough to serve as a simple caching layer (replacing Memcached) or as a full-blown RDBMS replacement if you’re willing to jump through a few hoops. Because Redis is an in-memory data store, it’s limited
