If you're interested in Nix and also have a Jekyll-powered blog, probably you would be also interested in how to build your blog with Nix! I had such experience and that's how it went:

To support the very first zio-http-pac4j release, I also wrote an article:

🔍 https://seroperson.me/2025/09/03/zio-http-jwt-auth/

It shows in details how to implement a JWT-based authorization for zio-http and also covers such features as token expiration, encryption, roles and custom payload.

#scala #zio #jwt #pac4j

I want to introduce to you my very recent library: zio-http wrapper for pac4j. pac4j is an easy and powerful security framework for authenticating users, getting their profiles, and managing authorizations to secure web applications and services.

There are wrappers for numerous frameworks and libraries, such as http4s, Play, Akka HTTP and Java-world frameworks. Now we also have an implementation for zio-http as well!

If you ever notice that handling your Telegram bot scenarios has become a mess, you should probably take a look at the callback_data field. This is the place that often spoils things, so take a look at refactoring approach using base85 + protobuf:

If you manage your dotfiles using Nix's home-manager, then you probably won't be surprised that it's possible to package everything into a reproducible Docker container. But how to do it? Well, now you know:
