My One-Step Guide to Turn Soup from Watery Crap into Something You Would Want to Eat
  • For me what made a huge difference was adding acid, specially for stews. A hearty splash of vinegar or soy sauce while stewing, or even a dash of lime just before serving takes it from "meh" to "seconds please!".

  • Best practice for using a disk partition inside a VM?
  • Donwside to 2: Your VM becomes harder to move between hardware, you lose snapshotting capabilities from a copy-on-write image.

    5 is flexible, but has limitations. For example you wouldn't want to run databases on NFS volumes.

    If initialization time is the only problem with 4, you could create several smaller images on the disk. Create the first one, initialize the VM and set up an LVM volume on it, then start creating more volumes and extend the LVM volume.

    You are diagnosed with cancer but have no money for treatment. You've no option but to steal the money somehow. What's your plan?
  • I've had acquaintances waste away trying to delay cancer death. Hospice is not fun, so I'd rather go out on my own terms.

    Plus, any kind of money making scheme I'd think of is likely going to end up like the "aim for the bushes" scene in The Other Guys.

  • Why use VIM/Nano/Emacs over VS Code?
  • There's a long list of caveats when running VS Code over SSH. By comparison, text editors:

    • Work on Alpine remotes
    • Work on older distributions, and other *NIX systems
    • Have no problems with SSH key passphrases or security keys
    • Only require a few MB of memory
    • When run in tmux are largely resilient to SSH connection issues
  • Why use VIM/Nano/Emacs over VS Code?
  • If you frequently work on remote systems you frequently only get command line access, where you can still use vim/nano/emacs but not a full IDE like VS Code. In that case you might find it more convenient to learn one text editor well and forgo the IDE.

    Monitoring is a Pain - And we're all doing it wrong (including me)
    matduggan.com Monitoring is a Pain

    And we're all doing it wrong (including me) I have a confession. Despite having been hired multiple times in part due to my experience with monitoring platforms, I have come to hate monitoring. Monitoring and observability tools commit the cardinal sin of tricking people into thinking this is an ea...

    Monitoring is a Pain

    Monitoring and observability tools commit the cardinal sin of tricking people into thinking monitoring is an easy problem. It is very simple to monitor a small application or service. Almost none of those approaches scale.

    Stronger Supply Chain Security Coming to Argo
    blog.argoproj.io Security: Supply chain Security

    Security has always been a core focus of the project and that effort continues with upcoming features around supply chain security

    Security: Supply chain Security

    In March 2023, Argo CD completed a refactor of the release process in order to provide a SLSA Level 3 provenance for container images and CLI binaries. The CNCF also commissioned a security audit of Argo CD which was conducted by ChainGuard. The audit found that Argo CD achieved SLSA Level 3 v0.1 across the source, build, and provenance sections.

    The Argo Project will next rollout attestations to Argo Rollouts, then follow with the remaining projects. SLSA has recently announced the SLSA Version 1.0 specifications, which Argo plans to embrace.
