The cutting edge of cryptographic comms for distributed systems

WebAssembly is a great technology for porting existing applications to run on a web page. Read along to learn what we had to do to compile our step toolchain to WebAssembly and make it usable on the web.

We set up mutual TLS between five services for secure homelab monitoring with Grafana, Prometheus, Loki, Promtail, and node_exporter.

Naming a CLI command requires deep and careful deliberation.

A better security model exists. Instead of relying on IP and MAC addresses to determine access we can cryptographically authenticate the identity of people and software making requests. It’s a simple concept, really: what matters is who or what is making a request, not where a request comes from. In short, access should be based on production identity
