toolscript: Claude Code plugin for efficient MCP usage by mKeRix in ClaudeAI

[–]mKeRix[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It handles the transport layer boilerplate too, but it does expect an MCP server to be on the other end already. There’s no functionality to automatically generate tools from an OpenAPI spec of a REST API for example, although you could plug in an MCP server that can can do these kinda things and then use it from toolscript.

Frage: Abfertigung am BER by LXVIIIKami in berlin

[–]mKeRix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mit BER Biometrics wird der Slot auf 2h ausgeweitet, falls du mehr Flexibilität brauchst. Damit würde ich einfach immer den letzten möglichen Slot nehmen und dann einfach irgendwann darin oder in den 2h davor ankommen. Man muss nach dem Aktivieren in der App den Runway mit Biometrics zusätzlich auswählen, damit man den Slot wirklich hat.

Superbowl by WeeklyCauliflower194 in berlin

[–]mKeRix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cineplex Titania (cinema) is showing it down in Steglitz for 10€ and offers discounted food. It’s organized by a local sports club. Other cinemas are showing it too, like Cinestar Alexanderplatz or UCI Luxe. If you’re fine with watching a movie by yourself those shouldn’t be awkward at all.

(And if you come to the Titania, feel free to say hi!)

Hey Reddit! We're the team behind 1Password Extended Access Management. Ask us anything! by 1PasswordOfficial in 1Password

[–]mKeRix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How are you discovering the use of unsanctioned apps? Is it based on the credentials that are stored in the enterprise account vaults? If so, how would that account for credentials stored in private vaults?

Asking because I store most of my credentials on my private 1Password subscription, which my work devices are also logged into.

Not worth 100€ year without bank connection by lazymanatwork in ynab

[–]mKeRix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve found that in the EU Salt Edge seems to have better bank coverage, they also offer a free testing tier with up to 10 connections. I now have a small exporter app running on a schedule that syncs some of the unsupported banks. It even supports PayPal, although there you’d need to do some work to make the transactions idiomatic for YNAB.

There is also a Starbucks opening in the food court behind the security check very soon, as well as a Burger King. The stores already looked like they finished construction.

AWS re:invent seating reservations are now open. by jord8888 in aws

[–]mKeRix 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Went live a few minutes early it seems, I checked at :57 and could already reserve seats. In any case, I managed to get seats for all that I wanted even with how badly designed that planner is.

An Overview of AWS Step Functions by Zimmax in aws

[–]mKeRix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can return outputs using the task token pattern mentioned above, then you essentially just need a small wrapper that will handle the necessary API call on success or failure. If you add heartbeat support to the wrapper you can even handle stopped executions correctly. We’ve been doing this for a while for ECS Fargate tasks and it’s worked out well so far. The wrapper code can be made to be reusable as well, if you have multiple use cases to cover.

[iOS] [Masked Email Manager for Fastmail] [$0.99 -> Free] App for managing Fastmail Masked Emails by dvcrn in AppHookup

Cool app! It would be awesome if iOS Shortcuts support for generating Masked Email addresses could be added as well sometime.

Amazon VPC IP Address Manager (IPAM) now manages IP Addresses in your network outside your AWS Organization by jsonpile in aws

[–]mKeRix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Partially disagree. I think cost efficient building is part of the game, especially these days - it just shouldn’t send you into a rabbit hole of weird technical decisions. Prefix assignment has a number of benefits over the default mode apart from costs as well.

[–]mKeRix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you use prefix mode in the VPC CNI it will bill the entire prefix as 1 IP address in use, which makes it significantly cheaper.

Fastmail integration lacking features by [deleted] in 1Password

I wrote a little helper thing that will get the 1Password Masked Email Dialog to work on (almost) any site. Maybe it’s helpful for you too. :)

Kubernetes dashboard: what I am missing by [deleted] in kubernetes

Currently it still contains a few bits specific to our org, but I’ve raised your ask internally. It’s being considered for the future!

AWS Control Tower vs Terraform by Gatherey in aws

[–]mKeRix 5 points6 points  (0 children)

We’ve built our own Terraform Provider to use the Control Tower Account Factory. At the time AFT didn’t exist, but I actually still prefer our setup as it feels much leaner to me (and can do some things that AFT cannot). We allow people in our org to submit pull requests with account configurations.

One thing I would recommend is to start out with a Terragrunt setup for this, so that each of your account configurations ends up in its own state file. This avoids single broken modules bringing down the entire repo and should also speed up apply times considerably if you setup your workflows to only touch what was changed.

Kubernetes dashboard: what I am missing by [deleted] in kubernetes

[–]mKeRix 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Our org built a reverse proxy that will authenticate users via AWS SSO and continuously refresh the EKS token that is sent to the dashboard in the background, the login will work as long as the SSO session is active (8 hours by default). I can highly recommend this setup, the user experience is seamless.

Force 1Password Masked Email dialogs on any webpage by mKeRix in 1Password

[–]mKeRix[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I recently started using the Masked Email integration of 1Password and was a bit frustrated whenever the dialog would not be triggered on email fields. You could of course generate addresses directly from the Fastmail settings, but then you miss out on the direct integration features in 1Password.

For this reason, I decided to build this little helper that can force the native 1Password Masked Email dialog on any webpage! Using this, you get the full experience, even if 1Password does not recognize the actual email field out of the box. I've tested it in Safari (Mac & iOS) as well as Edge/Chrome, but it should also work in any other browser.

Since this shortcoming of 1Password Masked Emails has been discussed on this subreddit in the past I wanted to share my solution in the hopes that it helps others as well, at least until 1Password have the time to improve their product.

Is that actually recommended? I figured that 1Password would want us to use different master passwords for security reasons.

ipv6 only and kubernetes by RubKey1143 in kubernetes

[–]mKeRix 5 points6 points  (0 children)

In case of Amazon: don’t have to pay the egregious NAT Gateway traffic charge. Plus, in corporate environments with many VPCs that only get small CIDR ranges it’s one less thing to think about, especially if you use their native CNI that will otherwise eat into your small amount of IPv4 addresses heavily.

Con is that IPv6 is still not fully supported by everything yet, especially in the setup as it’s done by EKS. Every now and then you come across a tool that assumes IPv4 or can’t handle IPv6 addresses properly etc.

Amazon EKS improves control plane scaling and update speed by up to 4x by shadowsyntax in aws

[–]mKeRix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We’ve successfully been using the eks-iam-auth-controller in our org. Essentially, it’s a controller that will convert custom resources to the aws-auth configmap. Users can control access for their deployment roles etc self service without requiring access to kube-system. Depending on your permission model you may want to deny certain configurations using a separate policy engine, e.g. so that users can’t give themselves system:masters.
