Best of luck to the crisis!

it’s free

I think I might swap my wording around… that sounds like my head is in my butt

Make sure to save all your secrets in git and then upload from git to postman, that way your security incident is way more repeatable

… And so their butt is in their head?

look hegseth, I like a drink too, and guys like us know that when you get a whiskey you say “make it a double”. But maybe leave that kind of talk outside the situation room

whenever someone at work says they have trouble with a web service or api I’m like “Idk I can curl it just fine, what’s your request look like” and you would not believe how many developers get confused by this question. It’s so goddamn frustrating

Don’t forget Deer Lord

My successful path for homelab stuff is to use kubernetes (k3s locally and digital ocean DOKS for cloud resources) with argocd and gitops. Everything I change is via a git commit+push so I can always rollback, and if this machine dies, once I replace/repair the hardware I can pull all backed up content from object storage, install K3s again, reconfigure the authentication for Argocd, and it will repopulate all the running services.

I am absolutely not saying this is the right path for you as I came into nearly all my modern knowledge through my career, but it is a path

Instructions that start with “open terminal” are then followed by text commands to execute, all of which can be broken down and dissected to learn exactly what they are doing and why they are there. And generally, CLI tools, config files, etc have a very stable interface that doesn’t change much over time (generalizing broadly; obviously there are some softwares with major changes which this does not apply to). Ultimately, they can be replicated very easily with copy/paste by the end user.

Instructions that are just a bunch of screenshots are subject to user error and whims of the softwares UI designers and your own personal look and feel settings.

Instructions that are “download this file and execute it” are how you fuck up your system with a difficult, possibly nonexistent, path to recovery.

So, I’d advise to get comfortable with the terminal and accept those instructions as the blessing that they are

Yes, in fact we are now at a point where people need to provide justification that something can’t be run in k8s before provisioning the infra to run their non-k8s workload. Aka, kubernetes is an enforced default in our shop.

Fuck yea, Hell is awesome

Then a bunch of his buddies get into the sand. Oops!

I thought this was going to end with “You certainly will not regret drinking $130 worth of kombucha every month”

Similarly, isn’t there some kind of relationship between the slice pizza and the cost of a subway ride in NYC?

There’s stuff in the options, check the post history section

Those are great. Makes me think of this band Hippie Death Cult
