I'm working on a tool named cert-ripper which should be able to help me deal with x509 certificates. I tried to implement certain functionalities provided by openssl command. While using openssl, I found it really confusing and cryptic.

Currently cert-ripper can do the following:

• fetch certificate chain from a host
• save certificates in different formats (PEM, DER, P7B, OpenSSL text)
• generate and decode certificate signing requests (CSR)
• generate self-signed certificates

If anyone interested, to code can be found here: github.com/recon-tools/cert-ripper-go

While working on this tool a managed to learn a lot about x509 certificates and I also had the chance to dust off my Go knowledge.

I've been doing a refresher on Django, Python, Bootstrap, ReactJs and NextJs for the past couple of weeks to get ready to apply for jobs. So far I got an invite to apply for a media company overseas in one of the job boards I'm on. But to answer the question, I'm working on Rantr. A Ranting platform just for the sake of ranting lol

[Parimal]

But we already have Twitter and Reddit for Ranting.. Though Good name and it could blow up.

[Michael Tharrington]

Haha, so true that Twitter and Reddit fill that need. 😂 But also agreed, Rantr is such a great name.

I am developing a web application with Angular to polish my skills as it is a new framework for me, I thought I could develop it by Monday but it will not be possible as I am missing a lot of things. 😫 But one thing that I cannot deny is that I have learned a lot, what the application does is collect all the relevant information about the rick and morty television series, by the way the application consumes an API with all the information. I'm so excited that in my country it's 04:25 AM and I'm still glued to Vscode. 😂😂😂

[James Ajayi]

I really want to take a break but my undone API documentation course is not letting me have my way.😅

Thanks Michael.

[Michael Tharrington]

You're very welcome, James. Appreciates ya chiming into my post here and letting me know what ya are working on. I hope ya made some good progress with the API docs. 🙌

[James Ajayi]

Oh yes, I've made some progress. Thank you!

Wrapping up a Tailwind CSS course on Udemy, starting the Harvard CS50 course (need a refresher), and working on AZ-104 certification prep. You can't stop the learning!

[Michael Tharrington]

Woot woot! That's a bunch of stuff right there. Can't stop the learning indeed!

[Bruno Santos]

Accessibility, Three.js and WebXR

[Michael Tharrington]

Very nice! Accessibility is one of those things that too many folks treat as an afterthought. Cool that you made that a focus. I hope your weekend work went well!
