whoami.filippo.io
A ssh server that knows who you are. $ ssh whoami.filippo.io
whoami.filippo.io powers a diagnostic service that reports what your client and connection look like from the other side, making it a handy mirror for network and TLS debugging. It surfaces details such as your IP address, protocol versions, cipher suites, SNI, and other attributes that are otherwise tedious to confirm across layers. The tool emphasizes clarity and minimalism, helping engineers quickly verify configuration changes in browsers, proxies, VPNs, or CLI tools. It is especially helpful when validating modern TLS features like ALPN, HTTP versions, and certificate behavior under different client stacks. Because the output is human-friendly, it doubles as an educational resource for understanding how transport and application-layer negotiations actually manifest. Teams use it to troubleshoot misconfigurations and confirm policy enforcement without setting up their own inspection endpoints. -

Backuso
Backup software for your data to local and remote SSH systems
Backuso – pronounce like the opera singer ‘Caruso’ – is a software for routine and automated backups of your computer to either a local storage or a remote storage on an SSH server, or both. A local storage is anything accessible in the directory structure of your computer. Most of the time this will be a (large) hard drive, mounted at a convenient location. A remote storage is anything which is accessed on your network via the ssh protocol. This could be a NAS (Network Attached Storage) in your local LAN, or a server share on the internet. Backuso is configured with a simple text file. You can start the backups manually or automatically, e.g. using crontab. Backuso is based on Python 3 and uses the software rsync as its core element. Hence it runs on systems where rsync is available (Linux, FreeBSD, Apple). -
