Thanks for sharing! Pretty wild bug. Really commendable debugging.

Looks amazing. Thanks!

Thanks for this. The rules it describes were what I was thinking but I couldn’t put my finger on it.

With that number of cat toys it makes me think you really care about your kitty.

We spoil ours as well.

I would add Alertmanager to your stack if you haven’t already. It’s pretty tightly integrated with prometheus. There’s some canned alerting rules based on predicting disk space full in X number of days. We wire Alertmanager to Pagerduty.

I’m running Grafana Loki for my company now and I’ll never go back to anything else. Loki acts like grep, is blazing fast and low maintenance. If it sounds like magic it kind is.

I saw this post and genuinely thought one of my teammates wrote it.

I had to manage an ELK stack and it was a full time job when we were supposed to be focusing on other important SRE work.

Then we switched to Loki + Grafana and it’s been amazing. Loki is literally k8s wide grep by default but then has an amazing query language for filtering and transforming logs into tables or even doing Prometheus style queries on top of a log query which gives you a graph.

Managing Loki is super simple because it makes the trade off of not indexing anything other than the kubernetes labels, which are always going to be the same regardless of the app. And retention is just a breeze since all the data is stored in a bucket and not on the cluster.

Sorry for gushing about Loki but I genuinely was that rage wojak before we switched. I am so much happier now.

Spot on!

I was really turned off by the aesthetic but the game is awesome and it’s grown on me.

I’ll be sure to try this one.

How does this compare to something like https://github.com/lllyasviel/Fooocus. I have used it and quite like the results.

One small blessing of them being so technically incompetent is that there is no DRM, so you can just use yt-dlp to download whatever show you want to keep. It’s just a small pain to do because you need to download your login cookie to pass to yt-dlp.

Thanks for this!

That sounds like a good idea. I’ll take another look at GitHub settings. Thanks!

Since we were on the platform team we were all GitHub admins 😩. So it all relied on trust. Is there a way to block even admins?

At my current company all changes have to happen via GitHub PR and commit because we use GitOps (ex: ArgoCD with Kubernetes). Any changes you do manually are immediately overwritten when ArgoCD notices the config drift.

This makes development more annoying sometimes but I’m so damn glad when I can immediately look at GitHub for an audit trail and source of truth.

It wasn’t InfoSec in this case but I had an annoying tech lead that would merge to main without telling people, so anytime something broke I had his GitHub activity bookmarked and could rule that out first.

Man that Time’s article seems so out of touch to me. I couldn’t finish it.

It’s just funny to see a 2013 take on millennials before I was even old enough to realize the shitty world we inherited from the Boomers.

Obsidian is so so good.

I don’t even mind to pay for their sync service to support them. You can even encrypt your vault (notebook) with your own key.

I use syncthing on my phone to backup photos to a drive on my homelab.

This answer is so perfect and so pragmatic.

It’s the thing I’d love to tell in the heat of the moment but always bungle the delivery.

I feel deeply the sentiment that I’ve been lucky but that’s all it’s been is luck. I don’t think I deserve what I have. No one should have to scrounge just to survive.

Thanks for this.

Same but with the addition of a Brewfile to manage installed apps/CLIs (supports both Mac and Linux)

Looks amazing! Can you post the config?
