Writing archive

These were written between 2012 and 2021, mostly about Oracle Linux, containers, HomeKit and LIFX. I have left them up because the older how-tos still get search traffic, but several of them describe tools and services that have since changed or disappeared. Where I knew that to be the case I added a warning at the top of the post rather than quietly deleting it.
