RUN TCP/IP | Morgan Lucas is Tech Blogging

While I'm close to posting my analyses of logging services, take a look at this.  A VM has been attacked multiple times. Check in your Security Alerts panel from the Azure Security Center homepage. Just In Time VM access is enabled. If you're not using a VM, it doesn't have to be up until a service specifically asks for it. Watch the video for more.

 This is me going "Hey, let's open up VS Code and just mess around." Here is the website for this project.   Let's look at what I did !  

 Link here ; It may not be free by the time you see it, but check again in a day or so. You know Udemy, there's always a sale. SEOs have always seemed simple on the surface to me, but somewhat hard to implement. WordPress has tools installed, but Google's Red-Headed Stepchild, Blogger, has been abandoned, with limited improvements, so SEO manipulation is harder. Questions I have: If we're all gunning to get to Google (or Bing's) first page, how effective can these tactics be?  Using the same keywords, how do we stand out? Don't use the same words. See; Head, Body, and Long Tail keywords. Head is likely to be the single, most competitive word. Body involves phrases, and long tail include more descriptive phrases. Have you ever searched something relatively specific (like 'firewalls for CloudFormation JSON code') and gotten fewer results? That's the Long Tail. Tools Mentioned Google (Of course) Keywords Everywhere - Does it work with Bing? (Yes!) What I L...

 Want to share this easily?  Check out the Notion page. By Morgan Lucas (she/her) from this video by Johnny Chivers We use data migration services to, well, migrate data. But why would we want to do this?  Perhaps... We're moving our business to the cloud, and need to shift all of that cold storage we have onsite. We want to use it as a backup in cause our infrastructure is out of commission. We could have information to share with a 3rd party, and instead of giving access to on-site databases, we put it on AWS to share. Nevertheless, let's recap what I've done. Created publicly accessible, password-protected database with Amazon Aurora with PostgreSQL Compatibility to migrate to Amazon Dynamo DB Managed inbound rules of security group to limit access Used open source software HeidiDB to interact with database via a TCP/IP session and specific URL for DB (Not shown here for security)     Connected to Aurora PostgreSQL Database ran queries that deleted and cre...

I am a Nintendo household. I have every console from childhood - Some of the very oldest ones were my father's - except the Virtual Boy. I still have my GameCube, Wii, Wii U, and now the Switch.  When I received the Wii U with two games loaded onto it - Smash Bros and something called Splatoon, I wanted it for Smash Bros, but as a long time Smash Bros. player, it felt too odd to have my hands a foot away on the large, ungainly controller. Muscle memory was too strong. Since Splatoon was a new IP, it took less trouble to get accustomed to the controls - And I fell in love with the entire colorful, post-apocalyptic aesthetic of squids dressing terribly and slinging paint around. A few days ago, Nintendo Europe released a video showing off the Splatoon 3 edition Switch, and it is gorgeous . It looks more colorful than the actual game. Wish I made enough money consistently to justify getting one of these. Want to help with that? See here and share .   I'm not super sure when these...

 Find a better formatted version of this post on Notion ! Share it. Share this too. The more sharing, the better. Packaging the app: ✅ Pushing to DockerHub: ✅ See Error Pushing to Docker Hub below for how I troubleshot the issue! What is my app? A static webpage I had created for fun a few months ago. I knew it would come in handy! What did I do? Used demo static webpage for testing. Created Dockerfile 💡 It should be Dockerfile, no extension. Dockerfile.Dockerfile is incorrect! Used nginx Alpine as server and the following code: FROM scratch as static-site WORKDIR /app COPY . . FROM nginx:1.16.0-alpine as server COPY --from=static-site /app /usr/share/nginx/html EXPOSE 80 CMD [ "nginx", "-g", "daemon off;"] From Mwiza Kumwenda (see resources below). I wondered if I should use "start" in the CMD [ "nginx", "-g", "daemon off;"] list/tuple, but it worked without it. Exposed port 80 Created image;...

  By Morgan Lucas, From Adrian Cantrill’s More Than Certified / GitHub . Find the Notion Page HERE . Pictured: Someone who would get use out of the app. Technologies used: AWS, Lambda, Step Functions, API Gateway, S3, SNS & SES. What Is This?: A small app for pets to both you for cuddles that will send an alert to a phone and an email address. Both points of contact must be opted into first. Stage 1 I register 4 objects - Two email addresses (sending messages, receiving messages) and 2 phone numbers (one to receive SMS [text messages], and an origination number. Stage 2 I used CloudFormation (again, our old friend) to create an IAM role that email_reminder_lambda uses to interact with other AWS services. Really beats searching through the policies! In the Lambda console, I create a function that uses Python 3.9 rundown and use the LambdaRole created via CloudFormation. There are multiple entries called some variation of LambdaRole, so look for the one with SES/SNS and C...
