v3.18.6 of @helm.sh is out. Last weeks security release contained a regression that's impacting some users. This release fixes that regression.

If the CVEs are in something like the Go standard library or compiler, it's ok to build the apps yourself. At least in open source.

Emailing the open source maintainers for a project that keeps up with correcting for CVEs in dependencies causes those maintainers to do more work. If they already keep up, you need to do nothing.

Please don't add paperwork to open source maintainers.

Built a website from scratch for the first time in years. Used AI this time.

1. No framework, all custom JS and CSS
2. There's less CSS and JS from when I use a framework
3. Built it much faster than I used to

It was a great experience.

We have seen users reporting regressions in @helm.sh 3.18.0. We have triaged them and are actively working on fixes. I hope we have resolution asap.

Fleet, the project underpinning Ranchers CD system, might be the most scaleable #Kubernetes based gitops tool.

In a recent post we looked at how we do measurements on it when looking for improvements.

Went to fix what I thought was a bad switch only to discover a disconnected wiring harness. Such an easy fix.

Feels good working on physical things after a day in front of a computer.

I disagree. I would make it portable. Don't tightly couple to anyone. They I could operate it where ever works best for my needs.

I'm amazed at the number of people who want to build solutions at scale as #Kubernetes API extensions. This is just not going to work.

Looking into either interfaces or Generics in #golang to solve a problem. This is going to be an interesting deep dive.

Did you know the automotive auxiliary power outlet (cigarette lighter) in cars can put out more power than the USB outlets usually do?

With USB you often get 1a at 5v (even usb-c outlets). With the auxiliary outlet you often get much more.

I would have guessed they are an artifact of the test. There is a mild difference outside of the exact expression.

Today I was reminded what a pain it is to PGP sign with @helm.sh . I think we need to make some changes there for v4.

I really like the design aesthetic of the zoo.dev

Staying on the site and watching what changes is slick.

As a long time Internet professional (and former web dev), I find this to be both hilarious and sad. FWIW, this one is on Congress.

If I read this right, in the Trump case where a judge is ordering the restoring of web pages, it's partially due to a violation of the Paper Reduction Act (of 1980).

The government has processes designed for paper from the time before the web existed applied to updates of things shared over the web

It looks like the UK has ordered Apple to put in a back door. I hope Apple fights this or takes iCloud out of the UK and I'm glad it's public knowledge this is happening.

When writing a CLI is better to do logging level with numbers or names...

For example...

-v=<log level number>

or

--debug / --trace

How did CachyOS/Arch deal with standby time? Lid closed, sleeping, nothing happening. Does the battery last more than a day when it's like this?
