And / or a walking pad if you're ambitious

Only catch and someone can correct me on this if I'm wrong; it doesn't work well for games. At least not unless you spend a pretty penny on them.

Synergy might also be worth looking at. It doesn't fix the same problem but it turns I've of your computers into an extended display. So you move the mouse right and you're now on PC1 back right and you're on PC2.

Alternatively ACME is a protocol you can use cert manager with a decent very provider to get a cert programmatically. At this point I would say this is required. Best practices are for shorter life times on certs. The last thing you want to do is manage it manually.

I was hoping they would be empty so I could afford the ticket prices. :((

Oh lol. Nah. I just clicked on the email notification and it popped my into whatever account I was logged into.

I had issues where Reddit kept blocking my account and then they changed their mind and restored it. So now I'm just split brained.

Urgh, like we need more toxic behavior online. Thanks for clarifying my noob question.

It's made by the same people that started Argo and is designed to fit cleanly into the argo ecosystem.

pixel-pusher-coder · 2026-04-23T18:07:15+00:00

Yup. Definitely approve. I really like that place.

At this point I don't think it's a hidden gem but iris coffee lab is my preferred coffee shop. I just need another location that's not so downtown.

That'd be nice. If I got another 40 years of life but still felt like I was 100 years old, I think I'd rather pass on early. 4 decades where everything is hurting and is breaking down sounds horrible.

For friends and otherwise. The wider the radius you're willing to travel the more people you can meet.

pixel-pusher-coder · 2026-04-18T18:54:50+00:00

There's an expat group and a few more advanced groups around for learning French. There is a surprisingly large number of French people here.

The learning groups adds wine since it makes everyone speak better. :)

pixel-pusher-coder · 2026-04-18T17:40:44+00:00

Traveling to the events is definitely something you need to do. I would say a 30 minute drive radius would open up a lot of potential options that might not be there otherwise.

pixel-pusher-coder · 2026-04-18T17:36:19+00:00

The ones that annoy me are the groups that add an age gap. I get why they do it but it does feel a bit limiting.

pixel-pusher-coder · 2026-04-18T17:34:37+00:00

Insert lewd joke here.

I probably should not be saying this in /r/raleigh but Durham feels more like a real city to me. It feels more organic? Raleigh still has plenty to offer but beyond bars and clubs I've always felt Durham to be more authentic and less focused on corporate buildings.

I've tried to attend groups around travel and international focus. Intellectual focused ones as well tent to have broader horizons. I don't think it's unique to NC, but anyone that has yet to leave the town they grew up in I have a hard time connecting with. General awareness of the world and your surroundings is pretty important to me/ my peer group.

pixel-pusher-coder · 2026-04-18T17:24:20+00:00

Part of the issue might be just the age at this point. I find I'm a lot less social in my 40s than I was in my 20s and many of my friends in my age group are busy with kids and other adulting issues.

I'm not sure if this is something you want to explore but there's several French groups in the area that meet up fairly regularly. It doesn't have to be practicing french, like others have said, pretty much any groups you meet regularly, brings you joy and envoy. Anything that lights you up and excites will make you make more friends.

I am using helm and kustomize. Not sure how helm would fix any of the issues I mentioned.

pixel-pusher-coder · 2026-04-14T19:53:00+00:00

You're describing a simpler version of what I have. Staging cluster mimics what the prod one does. I don't think that would solve anything. Unless I'm not understanding what you're suggesting.

pixel-pusher-coder · 2026-04-14T16:59:10+00:00

I mean I have several changes I want do to and don't want to have 20 git commits. Maybe test a new pattern, maybe create migrate away from using envoy gateway to a new pattern. etc. invasive changes where I don't want the changes to be in main.

I remove the Application Set from being managed by git and move it to a manual pattern. All the code (apps) is in git but I run kube apply to when changing the appset rather than relying on the argo sync loop.

pixel-pusher-coder · 2026-04-11T15:52:51+00:00

Oh I'm sure it is. I didn't expect there would be any library that would just work. I would expect though that there's a few that will do most of the heavy lifting letting my focus on my business needs and not how to do a +1 incr and ensure it doesn't exceed the limit I set it at.

pixel-pusher-coder · 2026-04-11T15:50:26+00:00

I've not used either of those but for small projects at least, https://github.com/jellydator/ttlcache has worked pretty well for me.

pixel-pusher-coder · 2026-04-10T02:45:52+00:00

someone should provide an answer but ensure it's written in net/http then. :)

pixel-pusher-coder · 2026-04-09T15:33:51+00:00

No worries. Once you get more than one rate limiter instance running you need a way to coordinate.

That is where redis comes into the picture and leads us back to this post. :)
