I have been messing around recently with the binary format used for OpenSSH private keys, and got a bit confused about the format when I had to decode the various parts of it.

In a previous post I’ve discussed how to decode RFC 4251 binary data in Common Lisp. In this one we are going to see how to encode data in RFC 4251 compliant format.

RFC 4251 describes the Secure Shell (SSH) Protocol Architecture, which also contains a section of the various Data Type Representations Used in the SSH Protocols.

This is a follow up of a recent post about exploring COVID-19 data with Common Lisp.

Considering the current COVID-19 pandemic and the lockdown period in my country, which lasted for a few months, I’ve been thinking about spending some time exploring the data about the virus spread.

Today I’ve got my copy of Programming Algorithms, which is a book about algorithms and data structures using Lisp.

Continuing my Lisp journey over the past few months I went ahead and started another side project, so I could spend more time with Common Lisp.

In this post we will see how to install and configure a Kubernetes cluster on Arch Linux nodes.

Python provides a useful function for enumerating a sequence of numbers in the form of the range function. If you are looking for range function in Common Lisp you would find lots of various implementations.

Emacs provides a mechanism for advising functions, which is useful in situations when you need to override the original function with your own one, transform the arguments before passing them down to the advised function, execute some code before, or after the function being advised is called, etc.
