Whoops 😅 is there a public repo yet?

That would be a great speed up for my self hosted CI jobs that currently use cache somewhere

Incredible! This will definitely be useful for my CI builds. Can I hook it up to object storage as a backend?

How are people running #vagrant on M1 macs these days? I'm fighting with qemu, libvirt, utm and more...

If you're in the area, come check out my talk about Bring Your Own Cloud (BYOC) deployments at the Orlando Code Camp on April 5th, sponsored by the Orlando .NET User Group!

Every day I use nohup <cmd> & is a good day...

panel 1: your shell has a history of the commands you ran some ways to access history: * press the up arrow * run history * search it with Ctrl-R (in bash/zsh) panel 2: how long does your shell store history for? in bash, the default is 500 commands (not enough!) in fish, the default is 256,000 commands if you're using bash, you might want to configure it to store more history panel 3: when does your shell save history? by default, bash and zsh only save history to a file when you exit the shell fish saves the history continuously panel 4: where is history stored? bash: .bash_history zsh: run echo $HISTFILE fish: mine is in ~/.local/share/fish/fish_history person (thinking): “sometimes I copy over my shell history when setting up a new computer!” panel 5: a useful history tool: atuin atuin lets you: * save unlimited history * search history more easily * save commands as soon as you run them * sync your history (optionally) panel 6: gotcha: history in zsh only shows 15 entries You can run history 0 to see all the history panel 7: commands that start with a space don't go in your history. good for passwords! (might depend on your shell's config)

TIL that in go:
println --> stderr
fmt.Println --> stdout

GitHub - golangci/golangci-lint: Fast linters runner for Go Fast linters runner for Go. Contribute to golangci/golangci-lint development by creating an account on GitHub.

I'm a bit late to the game here, but I'm now obsessed with golangci-lint (github.com/golangci/gol...). It's been finding all kinds of issues in my code and the official GitHub action works like a charm

Update: It's actually not that smart :-(

Today I've found that ChatGPT o3-mini-high (whatever that means) is actually a decent code reviewer compared to 4o. I like its tone much better than other models and it actually provides good suggestions in a concise manner that doesn't require tons of scrolling

I needed a way to monitor Docker containers and found cadvisor. TIL it spams thousands of metrics by default out of its prometheus endpoint and I highly recommend these 3 flags to get your metrics down to a reasonable size.

--docker_only=true
--enable_metrics=...
--disable_metrics=...

Well except for the fact that it just hallucinates metrics from prometheus endpoint outputs.... but hey, it something!

ChatGPT helping me write PromQL for alerting rules. Now that's a superpower.

Now HEIC, it was optical but that was atrocious

I'm not the only one! Well, I actually also use 1-6 for the "Quick Start" settings, then adjust with the "30 seconds" button.

Would this happen on smart TVs too? I can't seem to get audio on either of my Samsung and Vizio TVs to sync up properly with a soundbar 🤷

As I write more Pulumi code every week, I become increasingly convinced that I made the right decision choosing it over Terraform and CDK. It's just so nice to treat my IAC as actual code.

😅

I miss this on Linux

The predictable network interface device names in #Linux 🤣

Why newrelic? Just curious since I’ve been rolling my own in k8s for a while and it’s getting tiring

This is extra dope. Another W for the Bluesky team.

The Over-Engineering Pendulum I used to picture my dream job as this: I work for an early-stage startup that recently raised a round. The business idea is promising, there’s much to build, everything seems possible, and we have ti...

I'm building a new Pulumi-based, multi-cloud provisioning framework from scratch, and a nice reminder about over-vs-under engineering just hit my inbox.. very timely!

2024 was my year of the Linux desktop and I couldn’t be happier! Running endeavourOS on a mini itx ryzen build

Kubernetes Spec v1.32: Reference Guide and Documentation Find the documentation for all builtin resources, properties, types and even some examples!

kubespec.dev 🤯 now this is solid engineering!

How can you possibly work with Helm without artifacthub.io? This thing saves me so much time I'd probably be willing to pay for it 🤭

Happy thanksgiving??

Update: In typical LLM fashion, ChatGPT got me almost there, and now I'm spending all of that saved time trying to figure it out on my own...
