Paranoid Android, or How I Built a Twitter Bot and Lost a Little Bit of Faith In Humanity
The setup
I lied – this post isn’t going to be about how I built the Twitter bot. There are dozens of half-way decent tutorials scattered across the web and even a couple of decent ones and you’re welcome to exercise your DuckDuckGo-Fu or Google-Fu and figure it out.
Instead, this will be about my experience wading into the collective dumpster fire/garbage pit that is Twitter with some simple automation.
Roundcube 1.3.8-compatible plugin to allow a user to self-reset a forgotten password
Been working on lots of little personal projects lately, but find myself running into that old problem of, too much shit to do with not enough time to do it. That’s another way to say, color me lazy, but let’s not reinvent the wheel with everything I do.

Twitter sentiment analyzer using Tweepy, TextBlob, MariaDB, SQLAlchemy and dataset

Force delete/restart Kubernetes pods
Occasionally, I have a need to delete and restart k8s pods after I’ve been hammering on a cluster, when I need to perform node maintenance, or when a project has run its course and I want to free up the namespace and/or resources. Below is a general overview of that procedure but note that it is specific to certain scenarios only and assumes you know the consequences of your actions. I do not warranty any of this!
Open up Docker ports in UFW
My home Docker installation had some ports blocked internally for a project I was working on today. The sequence of commands listed below will allow the containers to communicate internally while still keeping open outgoing connection and not changing any incoming UFW rules.
sudo ufw allow in on docker0 sudo sed -i s/DEFAULT_FORWARD_POLICY=\"DROP\"/DEFAULT_FORWARD_POLICY=\"ACCEPT\"/ /etc/default/ufw sudo ufw enable sudo iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING ! -o docker0 -s 172.17.0.0/16 -j MASQUERADE
