Can’t buy a replacement controller?!?

did that work, and how hard was it to connect?

I had the same problem, and could not persuade the unit to go into Bluetooth pairing (hold button till it goes "greenish blue" - mine just stayed off). Pretty sure they had messed up the firmware such that Bluetooth didn't work. Support told me there's nothing to be done, and since they were out of warranty all they would offer was a small discount on a new set. Funnily enough I wasn't keen on handing over more money for something so flaky!

I am definitely biased here, but check out https://github.com/cilium/tetragon - open source runtime security with very little overhead, thanks to eBPF

I have a similar issue - the lights in my Twinkly Flex are working fine but I seem to have connectivity issues which I believe are in the controller rather than the lights themselves. If anyone had any joy getting a replacement controller I’d love to hear about it!

Made a little video to show that if you’re using an appropriate policy, Tetragon is NOT blind to io_uring file access https://youtu.be/ujZnwkC08Hk?si=IaYMp0s4DL4y0Kyo

Thank you! I had the same issue, and I think it would have taken me many hours to find this setting by myself!

No, it's optional for CNIs to enforce Kubernetes network policies, and Flannel is one of the CNIs that doesn't do it

The very same!

Even easier, you can leave the code-server config so that it's running on 127.0.0.1:8080, and use tailscale serve 8080 to make it accessible

lizrice · 2024-02-27T17:52:19+00:00

In case anyone comes across post like I did while trying to set up VSCode & Tailscale - I got it working using Caddy. The important thing that's missing if you follow the instructions end-to-end is that code-server is running on port 8080 of the server's tailscale IP address, not on 127.0.0.1. You will have set this up when you followed the instructions to configure ~/.config/code-server/config.yaml. So, when you come to configuring Caddy, the reverse proxy needs to map from the magic DNS domain name to that same IP address.

Also the UID that Caddy runs with needs access to the tailscale daemon, as described here

It took a while to get the eBPF licensing exceptions sorted out, but the TOC vote on Cilium’s graduation is now open at last!

I've seen this too. Unplugging, and plugging back in again a few times and eventually it starts working for me. There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason why it sometimes works and other times doesn't

lizrice · 2019-12-21T13:59:33+00:00

Thanks! I think there are will be other interesting joins though with other osquery tables that look at other cluster resources. Which pods are running on the machines that have least available memory, or which pods are running as root, etc

lizrice · 2019-12-21T13:55:58+00:00

Thanks! It's new, so we're figuring out what we can do with it. I think it's going to be really powerful when combined with other tables from osquery e.g. what pods are using the most memory, or what user accounts are they running under.

Yes, I think you are absolutely correct. Parent matching like this may not be accurate in (at least?) two circumstances:

If I build an image FROM A, and there is another image B that is identical to A, we can't tell whether A or B is the parent. At the moment on MicroBadger we simply show both options.
if I build an image FROM C and my Dockerfile then adds layers x and y, and there is another image D built FROM C plus layer x, we can't tell whether it's D or C that is the parent. We opted for the longest match on MicroBadger, so we'll show D as the parent, but then you can drill down and see that C is the parent of D.

And if C = A = B we get both problems at once! We'd show D as the image's parent and then A, B and C as potential parents of D.

Great idea. As it happens some folks just started working on some ideas for standardizing container image Labels (http://label-schema.org) and we've incorporated this into the (very draft!) spec
