OS Apps: Timezone, Swiish and VaultWarden

OS Apps: Timezone, Swiish and VaultWarden

Time, Cards and Secrets

I have a few apps on my todo list today. The first of which is this timezone app in Linux. I’ll try a few ways to install. The next is Swiish which is an excellent containerized business card app. Lastly, we’ll look at Bitwarden and Vaultwarden as I try to restore my OS secrets engine on the cluster. But let’s start with a simple timezone app… Timezone I found this timezone app some time back and really wanted to get it a try.

Bring me my Llama

Ever since I heard about the Agent to Agent (A2A) protocol, I’ve been curious what it was and how it might be useful. The general idea of A2A is that it’s a standard that Agentic workloads can leverage to discover and talk to each other using “cards” that advertise capabilities. We will look at two A2A examples, how they work and test them. Then we’ll try and recreate them with python containerize servers with REST endpoints.
