Welcome @stoeps.de, the blog of Christoph Stoettner
I work at Vegard IT GmbH as a senior consultant with a focus on collaboration software, Kubernetes, security and automation. I mainly deal with HCL Connections, WebSphere Application Server, Kubernetes, Ansible, Terraform and Linux.
Sometimes my daily work results in technical talks and blog articles, which you can follow here more or less regularly. You can find the presentations in the main menu under public speaking .
I created a list of tools I use regularly, most of which have been released under an open source license.
In my spare time I read a lot, test all kinds of technical software and gadgets and try to follow about 200 RSS feeds.
Here you can find a collection of them.
This is my private blog, all opinions are my own.

I switched my blog to Hugo the last days. After nearly 12 years with WordPress , I needed something new. Why did I drop WordPress, one of the most used blog engines in the world?
Most used means always most interesting for bad guys. Dynamic pages are slower and can contain more vulnerabilities than static pages (which Hugo generates). Hugo supports git, so I have version control in my posts and design. I can start a small web server locally and test the posts: hugo server -D and the most convenient thing: I can use VIM for editing.

A long pause after creating the last linkdump. Not sure why, because I read a lot. So this time some of my readings on Kubernetes, Security and Vim.

IBM Docs Viewer can open source files with syntax highlighting. This feature is default disabled, but sometimes very useful.
You need to enable it with IBM Connections Gatekeeper.

Watson Workspace Clients are only available for Windows and Mac OS. I’m a 100% Linux user on my devices and I use a Windows virtual machine only if I can’t avoid it. To communicate with colleagues, IBM and DNUG I need to use Watson Workplace, opening the web view is possible, but then I need to search the right tab or forget to open it. Since some weeks there is Zoom (Web / Video meetings) integrated with Watson Workspace too.:
Watson Workspace clients are based on Electron . I’m not a big fan of Electron clients, most of them are big and need tons of system resources. There is enough written about advantages and disadvantages, so I just leave it that way.

The last two weeks I didn’t read that much, I checked some Youtube videos and blogs about CTF and pentesting. One of the most impressive ones are the LiveOverflow videos and blogposts . So when you’re interested in that topic too, just check the links above.
