I use webhooks to argo events that trigger argo workflows on a small k3s cluster on my desk. You could do the same even with a single node cluster.

Does nothing on Firefox Android. You can't even see the error because of overlapping elements.

`sops exec-env`

I have an alias set for when I'm working with opentofu:

`alias tfenter='sops exec-env secrets.yaml "/bin/bash"'`

I encrypt with openbao's transit engine and backup age key kept in a password manager, so no secrets live on disk.

I would argue moving SSH to a non-standard port is security, but it's a different kind. By reducing the noise in logs, it reduces the workload on the human or agent reviewing the logs. So, you can detect an attack in progress or respond to an attack before it gets out of hand. With SSH on a standard port, the harmful malicious logs can blend in with the annoying malicious logs much better.

I can't think of anything that doesn't just work in that it's broken in some way. There are things that are different. I've been using MicroOS with Plasma for at least 4 years now on my personal machine and my work laptop. At some point they changed the name to Kalpa. There were some times in there where things were broken and it needed to roll back and pause automatic updates for a few days, but otherwise it functions just as expected.

A couple of annoyances exist. For example IDEs want to use the system's shell, so you have to make a custom entry to use your distrobox. Tools like python, node, tofu, etc are installed in a distrobox and then exported with `distrobox-export -b $(which $BINARY)` so that you can call them from the IDE.

For me, it's worth those few rough edges. When I install an OS for non-technical people who just need a web browser, I install Kalpa. It looks close enough to Windows to be easy to use, and it's never broken in a way I can't explain over the phone or a text how to fix.

It even passed the wife test in our house. It took a few years of marriage to convince her that her laptop shouldn't take 30 minutes to boot and open Chrome. She let me switch her over to Kalpa (it may have still been called MicroOS Desktop then) a few years back. That old laptop is still kicking and fast enough for her needs. Had she stuck with Windows, it'd be a brick now because of the requirements for upgrading to W10 and 11.

The meaning of the percentages is still unclear.

Bouncing signals off of the ionosphere is most definitely not an option here. The bandwidth of the signals that Starlink needs in order to provide service are far wider than the range of frequencies that bounce off any layer of the ionosphere. If you could get a 10GHz signal to bounce off of the F layer, you'd have a lot of very excited amateur radio operators who would start using that instead of the moon as their reflector.

The cookie consent banner here is the ultimate dark pattern. No deny all option, and the options are impossible to determine. Is the first toggle to turn on or off? I assume on, but that's not labelled anywhere. Based on convention, I'd assume to the right is enabled, but it's entirely against their interests to have it default to off.

Almost the same situation here. The only thing I used was Kafka, and I only used that to allow horizontal scaling of Argo Events sensors. Moved over to jetstream, saved a bunch of compute and memory, and realized I didn't need to scale Argo's sensors horizontally. Really, Bitnami's decision made my life easier in the end.

The author's complaints about the various solutions hit home. My wife and I tried a bunch of solutions for shared tasks and lists. Finally I found vikunja, put it on my home cluster, and it's been a game changer. We never run out of milk due to a lack of communication, and I have no excuse to forget the chore she asked me to get around to last week.

There really is a sweet spot between helping productivity and overcomplicating life, and most of these applications go for the latter. Glad we finally found something that works for us. I'm just sharing here hoping it'll help someone else.

I was thinking the same. When a person starts repeating what I said back to me, especially if it's nothing outrageous, it feels like I'm being interrogated. My response is to deny. E.g.:

Me: Last week I went to the beach.

Conversational adversary: You went to the beach last week?

Me: No.

Maybe this explains why I don't have many friends.

I'm not familiar with it. Waze is such a standard that I've just gotten used to it, but I'm down to clown with anything new as long as I'm on familiar roads and routes.

Thanks for sharing StreetComplete. I hadn't seen that. My interests are usually around K8s, Linux, containerization, IoC, etc, so I honestly hadn't looked as deeply into OSM recently as I should. This looks like a fun way to contribute back a bit.

I tried to get into OSM a few years ago, and the barrier to entry seemed a bit high. Maybe I'll try again. For all I know, the lanes are properly marked, it's just a routing issue. In Israel, the bus lanes are a bit odd. A lane can be a turn-only lane for cars and straight-only for busses. So, it's a bit complicated. Even Google Maps can't handle it.

The biggest thing keeping me from using any open source routing or even Google Maps is that here in Israel there are roads that are illegal to drive on either because they're access to PA territory or they're bus/taxi only. No application other than Waze avoids these, so I'm stuck using Waze. I just checked this, and to get to a building down the street from me, it wants me to YOLO myself through the bus lanes.

This sounds interesting, but I cannot understand what you're saying. Could you dumb this down a bit for someone with no experience in marketing/sales?

I'm not understanding the issue. The article isn't so clear to me. Would you mind clarifying what problem they solved?

Per my understanding, there is a show with 14 episodes that the viewer wants to watch in every order possible. How is this not just 14 factorial?

I know this can't be the problem, but it's just not clear to me from the article.

Edit: I found this link that explains it to anyone else as confused as I was: https://old.reddit.com/r/explainlikeimfive/comments/1bvn1rz/...

Are you thinking of Boomhauer?

I was raised in Texas by yankees. Now I'm living in Israel with a British-born wife. I had no problem understanding that. It sounded to me like how some of my older friends in Texas talk plus a bit of slang. Maybe the exposure to British accent at home and a multitude of English accents at work and on the street helps.

I'm naturally inclined to be suspicious of people claiming pollution is the cause of a disease. It's certainly possible, and it certainly happens, but every individual case is a sample size of one, and the best we can say is it's likely an environmental factor played a part. On top of this, it seems the claimant has either through frustration or with malicious intent exaggerated or fabricated some of the claims. So, I'll agree with you to be highly skeptical.

On the other hand, it's entirely reasonable to assume that a large corporation would maximize its profits: it has a duty to. If the expected profits exceed the expected costs of breaking the law, guess what's going to happen. Probably the fairest outcome here is better enforcement mechanisms. Unfortunately, this outcome leaves both parties worse off in exchange for an improvement to society.

Thanks for answering. I'm not even an amateur in physics, so forgive me for this elementary follow-up question. Why does it not balance in water? It would seem to me that the same weight it on each side of the scale, so the same force is pushing down on each side of the scale.

then immersing the apparatus in water

I'm having trouble picturing what's going on here. I'm not sure what the apparatus is. The best I can figure, it's two containers of water with the reference gold in one and the crown in the other. However, this wouldn't be any different than just weighing the two pieces of gold (which are already known to be the same mass). I tried searching for "hydrostatic balance," but nothing relevant to this came up. Since you seem to understand this, would you mind explaining (or pointing to an explanation of) Archimedes's probable solution?

For tech issues, I recommend stackexchange and the various gpt-based products that repackage it. Phind.com is pretty good, but they're move back to gpt 3.5 has really neutered the quality of answers.

For general discussion, there is no alternative, and reddit was not an option even before today. I was active on two non-tech subreddits: /r/judaism and /r/buttcoin. I am a classical liberal politically, but I am also an Orthodox Jew. I was banned across several accounts for respectfully stating Jewish beliefs in /r/Judaism and for saying that hating Jews isn't acceptable "anti-zionism" in /r/buttcoin. (I'm an anti-zionist, and my statement that hating Jews isn't ok led to a ban from the subreddit for "defending Zionist agression" or something equally absurd.)

I've seen media become more polarized in the last ten years or so. There is little left and right discussion. There are places where left is OK and anything else is fascism, which is ok to ban. On the other side, there are conspiracy theories, and anything else is lies by communist pedophiles and groomers to discredit great patriots. (I guess I'm a fascist and a communist because I believe Trump is a criminal and men can't get pregnant.) HN stays pretty clean by avoiding politics, but if you're looking for good political discussion, please make your own site. I'll help with the infrastructure, and maybe some good discussion will come of it.

My daughters are 2 and a half and 10 months. The most important part of being a father right now is making sure my wife doesn't ever feel like a single parent. Because of our work schedules, she used to take them both to daycare in the morning and pick them up. Now that I start work later, we had a discussion and agreed I should take them. On days I work from home, if I'm able, I take a break from their dinner time until bed time to spend time and help around the house. On weekends and evenings, I make sure that my wife has time to be her own person and do her own things.

I know this isn't as fun as teaching your kid how to ride a bike, but in the early years, it's very important to show up and do the work and not just be another person in your child's life who will transform into a father when bedtimes are later and communication is improved. It's also important to our marriage. She's not the mom, and I'm not the worker. We're the parents, and we're both involved in our children's lives.

One semi-related point of pride: We are English-speakers in a non-English-speaking country. I realized that there's no cultural reason my kids should call me "dad," "father," "daddy," "pops," or the like. No matter what they call me, it'll be weird to the native speakers of the local language. My wife and I decided the kids could call me "opossum" (pronounced "possum"). The oldest one has many stuffed opossum toys, and she likes to watch videos about opossums. She outgrew her baby blanket, but she was attached to it and didn't want to give it up. Since our daughter loves dogs, my wife bought one with dogs on it. That lasted 2 or 3 nights before she was back to the baby blanket. I ordered her a larger blanket with opossums and flowers on it, and she now proudly uses that one. Even though she doesn't understand the connection between me and the animal, she knows there is one, she's happy about it, and that is so fulfilling to me as her opossum.

It's pretty obvious why the one in the picture at the top is $14.99. It's from the kosher stand that has a small selection and higher prices because kosher meat is generally pretty expensive in America. Mind you, I wouldn't normally buy that sandwich for $15, but the last time I traveled through Newark, I gladly payed that much for something kosher to eat. It's about the same as I'd pay outside the airport for something similar if freshly made. I can't say much about the other products listed, as I'm not the target demographic.

I'm going through the opposite situation, but hopefully my experience will help. English is my mother tongue, and I immigrated to Israel where the only people who consistently speak English are high-tech workers, cab drivers, and 1 out of every 4 police officers. Of those, only the high-tech workers are in any way fluent. I completed a six-month language program, but I still couldn't speak or even read more than basic signs with any confidence. After 2 years here, I moved from a job for English-speaking immigrants to a job in Hebrew where everyone understood English.

I started working on a few projects with one engineer who reads English but cannot speak it. In a matter of weeks, my Hebrew pronunciation, comprehension, and fluency went through the roof. Since then, I've been started making friends with people at stores near my house, making phone calls to solve things that could be solved with an online form (and Google Translate). I'm still nowhere near fluent, but I gained confidence from being forced to speak and write.

The main thing is, just be prepared to speak, not be understood entirely, and make mistakes. The other day, I accidentally told the clerk at a store near my house that I didn't need a bag because I had large cunts instead of large pockets. We laughed, I survived, and I'll never get those words confused again.
