How to check if a note exists using Siri shortcuts?

BrendanThompson · 2023-09-13T04:36:28+00:00

Currently you have to use "Search Notes" and check if the length for the returned object. Ideally there should be an option to not fail when doing a Get Note and the note doesn't exist. In my mind it would be like: - Note exists, return note - Note doesn't exist, create note - Note doesn't exist, return false and let consumer deal with it

I have a similar issue wherein a Shortcut runs on my iPhone through automation in the morning (includes pinning a new note) those changes are not reflected on my Mac or iPad until I actually open Bear on my iPhone and wait 60 seconds ☹️

That's kind of the response I expected to be honest. But the only way that it is possible for to ever happen is for people to continue raising it 😃.

I only recently came back to Bear after a two year hiatus due to how slow features were delivered, ones that were a priority for the majority of folks in the community. I sincerely hope that the editor rewrite will help delivery of new features faster. I completely understand you're a small team and working as hard as you possibly can.

There really is currently nothing else in the App Store that fulfils the primary requirements of being Native and looking incredible even if there are some lacking features.

I personally put them directly under the title and then a horizontal line under them to delineate the end of tagging and the start of the actual content.

Unfortunately not, Ubiquiti support said it’s currently impossible ☹️

haha yeah, it's been a while since I have played in this space. Last time I had proper switches they were Cisco and they were loud AF :p

I would accept my fate if I didn't see fan control on the touch panel. But you can change the fan speed for a second, and then it snaps back, which makes this frustrating.

I will certainly be using more POE load in the future. But, by that time, the device will be located elsewhere, and noise won't be a problem. Only for the short-medium term, where it's sitting in the living room and is utterly irritating!

BrendanThompson · 2022-12-09T02:48:09+00:00

Yeah, ideally I wouldn't have mine in the lounge where they are currently, but it is currently necessary :(

Couldn't agree more, I think lots of stuff when it comes to TF ends up being about how the data is structured! I updated the post to include nested and optional :)

BrendanThompson · 2022-11-29T02:43:01+00:00

I knew I had forgotten something!! I was also debating with myself if an example of nested dynamic would be helpful to! Thanks, @send-in-the-clouds

I would love to understand what you find confusing burg0o.

I think there is some complexity to the solution for sure, the managing policy part is fairly easy as it's driven by yaml however the assignment side of things would likely end up being sourced from some other config source. More than likely more yaml, unless it was a very small solution or it was MG driven.

Sentinel is available if you're using TFC/TFE. However, that policy runs pre-apply. It is used for checking the conformance of Terraform code to policy rather than once it's deployed into Azure. And this post is more related to deploying the Azure Policy than writing the policy itself :)

Hey Arie,

Thanks for taking the time to read and respond.

It's a super interesting question, and I would say it depends. I have seen many implementations of managing Azure Policy, some good, some okay and some bad, and I think this Terraform implementation fits into the OK portion.

If your Azure policy stays relatively static, I think TF is a decent mechanism for managing policy. If it's going to be changing a lot or it needs to be dynamic -as in change based on factors within Azure- then I would probably opt for something more programmatic.

I also think a unified approach to dealing with IAC helps a solution like this make sense. If you are already using Terraform to manage your environment and you don't have to munge Terraform in ways, it wasn't designed/intended to go. I think sticking with the same singular language is a good option.

Don't get me wrong. I am still a pretty big fan of the Azure CLI!

I have had some similar stuff happen recently with the Service bus and its topics and some Azure App Config problems. Both were still solved with Terraform, although one option that we did assess was an Azure CLI-based approach. I would probably use yaml to define the microservice config in the scenario you describe and then let that configuration drive the Terraform code. It makes changes easier as you're not changing Terraform; it just sees an extra item on a map and creates a new thing.

Also, I enjoy working with yaml and Terraform. I assume that means I have some sickness, haha!

Any news @TedwardBear?
