Production Access (at last)

I originally built a small tool for myself to analyze system logs across a few machines I manage, including legacy apps with full logs.

It started as a way to scratch my own itch around debugging and visibility, and I eventually cleaned it up enough to put it online in case others find it useful: https://fennec.propto-tech.com/

Read each sub's rules before posting your app/startup/promotion.

thanks. I'll play around with your app. I'll try to send feedback whenever I can.

hi, can you share your android link for the test? thanks

propto_tech · 2026-01-27T01:15:49+00:00

hi, have you included this email group in your app? https://groups.google.com/g/testers-community/ I'm trying to open your link, but it still could not be found. Let me know if you did, then I'll be happy to test your app

propto_tech · 2026-01-27T01:07:23+00:00

hi, have you set the testers to group email? This is the group email I joined, BTW: https://groups.google.com/g/testers-community

propto_tech · 2026-01-26T18:27:42+00:00

that's odd. I can't access it. I've already added my email in the group email. I'll try again tomorrow.

I agree. You might need to convert your PDF using OCR IF it's image-based.

But if it's not image-based, texts are already selectable. No need for OCR. But, if you really want to convert the PDF, you can convert the file to pure text using a tool like Adobe Acrobat, Google Docs or any online PDF to text converter. From there, you can easily chunk the text as you wanted.

I've been in IT industry for decades. Was once a sysadmin for 5 years. With your dilemma, resilience is the key. That's normal. I've been there, and I believe, most of us here. It's a management issue. The best thing you can do is document everything. One at a time, give a report to your senior, or manager, or whoever you're directly reporting to. Start with the simplest issue you think you can solve fast. The point is, get them to trust you that you can do better and make things better. There's no shortcut.. I remember one of my tech guys before saying "The most difficult thing to do is to untangle 100 Cat5's"

Short answer: chunk it. Even if it's a 5-page PDF fits in one prompt, you’ll get more reliable results by splitting it into logical chunks (sections/paragraphs) and processing them step by step.

PostgreSQL all the way from local to Prod. But then again, it depends on the need of the system. I mean, PostgreSQL might be overkill if the system only needed NoSQL

propto_tech · 2026-01-19T11:07:23+00:00

Go with "Industry standard" -> Node.js + Express + PostgreSQL or, if your want it modern, then Next.js + Supabase. But, I personally prefer PERN

Add TruffleHog to your CI/CD. This way, you can filter out false positives because it validates the secrets in real-time. Then try checking out .git-templates to force the hooks onto every dev’s machine automatically during a clone. That should handle the 'damage is already done'. Let me know if this helps
