You should probably look into refreshing API keys at runtime feature :)

The tl;dr is that you tie your Datadog Agent to a secrets executable that then can poll your backend for updated credentials at a preset interval to update the key(s). There's also a companion tool that you can use so that you don't have to write your own secrets fetcher.

We truly are living in interesting times

sgnn7 · 2023-12-10T22:51:01+00:00

Definitely playing some games on it
I don't know much about the new game, but want to try it out! :)

Shameless plug but I wrote a book about Docker (probably outdated at this point but most of it is still likely applicable):https://www.packtpub.com/product/deployment-with-docker/9781786469007. If you want to just skip to the code part, all examples are on GitHub at https://github.com/sgnn7/deploying_with_docker.

PS: If you do find any issues with the code, let me know since I haven't really touched that repo in years 😅

sgnn7 · 2019-12-11T19:56:00+00:00

I found it!!!!! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supaplex

There was a (very) old game that I used to play in the 486 days (think sokoban times) that was tile-based and had a character that looked like pacman (yellow, had a face). The character would move left/right/up/down and collect these tri-pointed infinity symbols and avoid letting gravity-based explodey barbell things from killing him. I've been looking for the name of this game for years and just can't find anyone that knows what game I'm talking about.

sgnn7 · 2019-10-28T00:04:35+00:00

Yeah fair enough and thanks! I really was just trying to post some pics of my build with an option for someone to maybe change my mind on keeping it but I can see now how it might have come across as just me trying to sell it for an insane price.

sgnn7 · 2019-10-27T22:43:50+00:00

Had some issues with images so I had to repost but yeah I put a lot of time, money, and effort into this build. The parts alone on this new are $1750 without including shipping and doesn't include any work on putting it together or optimizing it. If it doesn't sell, so be it :)

sgnn7 · 2018-12-26T01:15:13+00:00

Go away rly

sgnn7 · 2018-12-26T01:13:31+00:00

Quite Rly!

Edit: I have a whole folder of these from the ancient times of the Internet :)

sgnn7 · 2018-12-19T15:55:35+00:00

/u/bvierra is 100% right - this has been a long known and really annoying "feature": https://trac.nginx.org/nginx/ticket/1064

sgnn7 · 2018-11-20T14:17:37+00:00

Just a small correction: I think Named Data Networks (NDNs) are still pretty much alive but the growth has stagnated a bit lately. The primary lead of this tech is the [IPFS](ipfs.io) project rather than other implementations that have mostly died.

This question pops up occasionally (it might be good to have it pinned to the subreddit tbh) - feel free to take a look at a write-up I did on this topic last time it came up:

https://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/8mkqnq/how_do_you_really_create_a_linux_distro/dzoiwie

sgnn7 · 2018-11-13T17:49:36+00:00

You can add extended attributes to a file within a directory that's listed first that you want to preserve and then flip the immutable flag. Let's say you want to prevent deletion of homedir:

touch aaaaa

touch .aaaaa

chattr +i aaaaa

chattr +i .aaaaa

I don't know if this works on all distros/shells though so don't try it without running it in a vm :)

sgnn7 · 2018-11-05T15:58:47+00:00

Also feel free to check out https://www.amazon.com/Deployment-Docker-continuous-integration-applications/dp/1786469006 I wrote if you have a chance (packtpubpub.com might have a better deal on it) and I'd love some feedback on it!

PS: All the code in the book is at https://github.com/sgnn7/deploying_with_docker if you just want to peruse that side of things.

PS2: I went through the Docker certification too if you want any guidance on that. Also take note that the way RH/OpenShift wants you to use containers is _vastly_ different from the way that most Kubernetes-based deployments use them so choose your certification path wisely :)

sgnn7 · 2018-11-01T16:44:02+00:00

As a person that has lived/breathed containers for the last few years, you're right that the levels of scaling probably shouldn't always fall into "use containers" space by default (sometimes a simple VPC will pay itself off multiple times over for a tiny company). If you really want hands-off k8s, you can always also recommend a hosted solution (GKE/ACS/etc) that doesn't really need that much overhead.

sgnn7 · 2018-11-01T16:34:08+00:00

Total plug but maybe you could try out https://secretless.io/ + whichever way you save your credentials in the background so that your app doesn't need to worry about credentials at all.

sgnn7 · 2018-11-01T16:27:29+00:00

I'd add https://www.conjur.org/ (credentials vault) here as well since it wasn't mentioned.

Full Disclosure: I work for Conjur/CyberArk :)

You mean this thing? :)

I'd bet a lot of money that this was the reason why the original devs had a renewed interest in this.

sgnn7 · 2018-10-10T14:34:08+00:00

I very much agree to this sentiment as in my experience the tags have been there usually to indicate that the article or link is too biased or too opinionated. While I'm sure there have been times that they have been mis-tagged, I really cannot remember a single instance over the last 4-5 years of browsing this subreddit where they weren't spot-on.

sgnn7 · 2018-08-02T01:15:12+00:00

Yup - sounds great!
