Bulletproof Coffee
I have been hearing a lot of talk about Bulletproof Coffee lately. I decided to take the plunge and give it a shot this morning as who doesn’t like a good body hack. I made mine with 1 Tbsp of Kerrygold butter which is the normal butter I eat anyway and 1 TBSP of virgin…

Speaking of security…
Today I came across the following news. The Chrome security team is considering marking all non-HTTPS sites as insecure (since they are.) Check out the story here. What this means is that if you don’t setup SSL on your site you are likely to lose users who are going to fear if your site is safe to…

PGP and the trouble with the web of trust
I have been a fan of Pretty Good Privacy and Gnu Privacy Guard for years. It was just a great idea and I would love to see it more widely used. One problem PGP has always had is the learning curve and ease of use. It used to be very difficult to integrate it into…

G1GC String Deduplication of a simple Spring Boot Webapp
