Achievement unlocked: SSO for the hypervisor! 🎉

My Proxmox VE is now officially using Keycloak OIDC for authentication, and the setup is fantastic:

- Centralized Users: Managed alongside my other apps (Keycloak using my LDAP as the backend).

- Hardware MFA: Locked down with a FIDO2 stick from @nitrokey

- Unified Control: Centralized policies, logging, and RBAC across the board.

Another great improvement for my HomeLab/SelfHosting setup.

Interesting take on JWT. Does an SPA really needs it? #web #security #auth https://www.dusanmalusev.dev/blog/jwt-is-a-scam-and-your-app-doesnt-need-it

JWT is a scam and your app doesn't need it

JWT promises stateless authentication and delivers neither. It's a cargo cult that makes your app slower, less secure, and harder to maintain — and almost every developer shipping it has no idea why.

noticed a pattern in signup data — users that registered and never came back. checked the emails: all throwaway domains. keycloak has no built-in setting for this, so I wrote an SPI extension.

Here's how it works:

Every Disposable Email Is A Hole In Your Funnel

Disposable emails flood your signups with accounts that never convert. A small Keycloak SPI extension that blocks them at registration — no polling, no database changes, no custom themes.

Dnes me po delsi dobe pozitivne prekvapil vyvoj kvality AI kodovani. Historicky po treti jsem se pokousel zmigrovat NextAuth (4 a 5-beta) na jednotny BetterAuth v monorepu.

Uz jsem si na tom dvakrat vylamal zuby.

Claude to zvladnul v pohode. Migraci modelu, spravne vyresil vsechny appky a konflikty. Nerozbil nic v API k mobilni appce a naopak potunil webovy kontrakt. Takze ideal.

Vsecko funguje a jako bonus jsem vyhodil nejaky hodne historicky kod.
