The Home Assistant Companion App: How to Integrate it to Your Device | HackerNoon

Besides a regular webapp and a Mac app, which uses the same endpoints as the webapp, Home Assistant also provides mobile apps. In this post, I want to describe its advantages over the former. I’ll use iOS to do this: Samsung’s French partner to recycle used mobiles tricked me once, and I moved away from Samsung. I decided to buy Apple for better integration since I’ve had Mac computers for the last few years. Installing

Turn Your Chrome OS Machine Into a Powerful DevOps Machine With This Guide | HackerNoon

Introduction Google has provided a list of devices that before 2019, could still have Crostini installed. After 2019 all devices are expected to offer Crostini support.

If You Can’t Control the Storage, Control the Access | HackerNoon

Recently, I’ve been thinking about how to make some of my crucial endpoints more secure when using locally stored JWT. It may not be the best practice for security (because of the possibility of XSS attacks), but this was a requirement not set by me. I had to adapt. So in order to make this more secure, I’ve found a solution, that, hopefully, will help you as well. The Problem I assume that we all

A Guide to Container Networking: Simplified | HackerNoon

My first encounter with a container was when I performed load testing on an application using JMeter. So, rather than installing JMeter on multiple Virtual Machines (VMs), I ended up deploying them on multiple containers on a single VM. I still remember that I was curious to understand how a container can manage to keep applications isolated. I was interested in understanding the networking part specifically. When I searched, a lot of terms were coined around. Like veth, bridges, Linux Namespaces, and cgroups.
