I recently bought a new NAS, after my old one turned ten. I am very satisfied with the reliability of my old QNAP which is still supported with software updates. This makes me a happy customer, and so I did not see any reason to switch brands. After initial setup (networking, firmware update, disabling most services) I did not get around to finishing its setup for a few days. It basically sat there from late May 2020 to early July 2020. Somehow it contracted QSnatch in that timeframe. I’ll explain what I did differently after that.

OAuth2 with Nextcloud (Provider) and GitLab (Client)
Posted by Claudius Coenen on October 13th, 2018 | Comments Off on OAuth2 with Nextcloud (Provider) and GitLab (Client)
I recently configured GitLab as a OAuth2 client to a Nextcloud Instance. I wanted OAuth2 to be the only way of logging in, and Nextcloud to provide the information needed for one-click user signup (actually, three clicks). This process was not entirely straightforward, especially since I don’t want my buttons to read “OAuth2-Generic”. Changing the name after setting everything up, means changing URLs and in combination with Nextcloud this means recreating your tokens. Long story short: I wrote down how I did it.

McCoy – ATtiny LED Project
Posted by Claudius Coenen on October 29th, 2016 | Comments Off on McCoy – ATtiny LED Project
McCoy is a side project I made to learn how to use the ATtiny microcontroller. The Idea came about at MRMCD2016, when I received a welcome gift in form of a light-up LED Pill. The very first thing crossing my mind was to put more electronics into this tiny housing.

Generating Server-Sent Events on Arduino
Posted by Claudius Coenen on September 6th, 2015 | Comments Off on Generating Server-Sent Events on Arduino
This is a tiny demonstration I created for MESO Digital Services. We’re using an Arduino Ethernet to intercept inputs and forward them to a browser. One-Way communication makes Server-Sent Events via Eventsource an interesting and rarely seen choice.
The state of the Ruby ecosystem on Windows
Posted by Claudius Coenen on January 7th, 2015 | 7 Comments »
It’s not really a secret that Ruby is not best friends with Windows. You often encounter gems that just won’t install or if they install, will not run as expected. Among those gems are mysql, eventmachine, nokogiri or, in my latest project, curb. I think this could be improved a lot with just a few changes.
