Or: a little clue as to how the sausage is made.

I inherited an LTO-4 SCSI-attached tape drive recently (yes, old-school, I know, it's mostly just for fun), and have been fiddling with it to do some tape-based offsite backups (to complement my other offsite backups).  In doing so, I learned a bunch of things about the SCSI protocol (including its many many tendrils and offshoots), and about handy tools for interacting with SCSI devices.  Some of these things may be useful to others, so I'm putting them here.  Enjoy!

I had reason to re-build a custom grafana Debian package a few weeks back.  It was a little bit tricky to figure out the right steps, and I wasn't able to find this process documented anywhere else, so here it is (for my future benefit as much as anyone else's).  This is brief, and is intended to be an outline/guide only.  Your mileage may vary

I finally completed my first WebExtension today.  It's for controlling what domains may set cookies, in the style of the old CookieMonster add-on for Firefox that didn't get ported to WebExtensions.
