A dive into APIs (using Amazon S3) - Part 2: the GUI

The 2nd of this 6-part series looks at how the GUI can be used to perform actions. We focus on using AWS's S3 console to create an S3 bucket in the eu-west-3 region.

S3 stands for Simple Storage Service and is a service that allows Amazon customers to store any type of file. Netflix uses an S3 to store the movies they stream, while Siemens has an S3 that accumulates operational data on which their cybersecurity teams perform forensic analysis. Ryanair and Nasdaq use S3 to backup their data.

Most of the screen shots and references relate to LogSeq, but you can adjust them to your needs. The solution described here is one in which the synchonization with the repository will be manual. In this scenario, one would synchronise with the repo before opening the tool (LogSeq in my case) and update the repo again when you're done. The Steps ( skip if you want to jump directly to the actions ) This tutorial describes how to install  Termux  on an Android device.  Termux  is an open-source Android terminal emulator and Linux environment application. After Termux is updated and running, a folder on the Android device is mapped to Termux.  GitHub  is installed, and the repo is cloned to this folder. The Termux folder used for the repo has to be  refle...

How to create a local RAG-enabled LLM server that provides safe access to your documents

This tutorial explains how to set up a headless RAG-enabled large language model (LLM) on an Ubuntu server. By the end, you will be able to chat with your LLM running locally on your own infrastructure. Your conversations will not be sent to third-party servers, ensuring that your prompts, responses, and any uploaded files remain private and under your control. A quick word on security Effective network security begins with a strong perimeter defence. One of the most critical steps is configuring a firewall on your router and hosts to explicitly deny all unsolicited inbound traffic from the internet. This “default deny” posture ensures that no internal services are accidentally exposed, creating a controlled environment where all communication is initiated from within your trusted network. A common and potentially dangerous misconception is that Network Address Translation (NAT) alone provides sufficient security. While NAT obscures internal devices, it is a routing mechanism rather...
