Utility

Small tools and code snippets I wrote myself, use in day-to-day work. Feel free to reuse; everything here is provided as-is, with no support.

GitLab logo bierlich.net


What: It's these pages! The page itself is build with Material for MkDocs ↗, with a couple of customizations. In particular rendering the talks page from a dataset. The page is hosted on GitLab pages, and deployed via CI.

Why I use it: Because I needed a portfolio page more flexible than what I am otherwise provided, as well as a small playground.

GitLab logo Mimir


What: Minimal password and one-time-password (OTP) manager with an emphasis on simplicity and local control. In-terminal only.

Why I use it: A lightweight alternative to larger password managers, designed for a small number of high-value secrets without external dependencies or cloud integration.

What: Minimal library for backup, based on system installations of rsync and tar.

Why I use it: I prefer writing a short python script for backups, rather than long configuration files for enterprise backup tools. This library enables exactly that, with extensive logging capabilities.

QR Code example QR code generator


What: Small, client-side QR code generator written in JavaScript.

Why I use it: A quick, dependency-free way to generate QR codes without relying on external services or sending data off-site. Includes several options for generation to print or web in multiple resolutions
