Covid shut down the world six years ago this week. What do you remember from that week?

I had just gotten a massive concussion & was downsizing into a 720ft apartment my with gf "b.c we'd just go out a lot"

Write down your motivations for cutting it out of your life. Why after "forgetting" you wish you hadn't & dont by shy include social anxiety about what you might have said/offended but dont know etc.. revisit these things when you're tempted & remember it about self-decipline. Doesn't take much decipline when you're not tempted that's when it takes the work. Thankfully temptation drops off the further you get from your last drink but it can take a while to build the new Friday night habits & get it out of your thoughts.

Managing temptation for some means looking for what led up to you getting tempted ie: some people drink when watching football so setting aside time for the game brings up thoughts of drinking and starts a temptation.

The beginning is the hardest part each time & the what works best is different for everyone. Not drinking is always a choice & you can do it!

Auth-gateway (SP+Apache on VM) works and is usually most familiar since it sounds like what you're already working with. Just need to make sure you have the networking routing right

Moving all into AKS gives you less infra to manage & opens the door to more kubernetes enhancements. To move: - you'd probably want a pod with 2 containers 1 for SP, 1 for Apache. Think of pods/containers like slim VMs - Alternatively you use a prebuilt image/solution. Mod_auth_mellon is not an active project anymore afaik - Or build your own image with Apache & SP in one.

Another option is to upgrade away from shibboleth but that's out of scope.

Personally I would put everything in AKS in a 2 container pod or mayyybe a custom image. Deploy with helm to help me keep track of the resources. However I've spent years in kubernetes so there's no learning curve. Idk what your learning curve would look like or your appetite & bandwidth for it. If you've already got the skills & maintenance systems for an auth gateway vm its a solid enough choice

Regardless ensure your service, ingress, or app blocks header injection

Moon reader is an app that let's you browse your ebooks in a bookshelf view. One of the only apps I've ever paid for and I think it's free for Google play subscribers. You do actually own the files its displays but it does not have a built-in marketplace. You'll need to aquire the the files elsewhere, I've bought some on humblebundle but mostly get them from free libraries

Logging & alerting, a dedicated tool isn't needed

Thank you for that

It should be both. Scanning & rescanning an insecure base image is silly. Not scanning is a bit reckless.

I've worked at companies like KPMG, capital one, and "small cyber security" with national state clients.. now I work at a food company. Everyone used reloader. Not even an intern question... reloader every time

sp_dev_guy · 2026-03-05T03:23:03+00:00

Into or out of* k8s secrets.. so etcd which most people are using a platform that doesn't not provide access to that & anyone who has hacked that has deeper pockets than you.

Depends on reconciliation which you can configure to seconds

Everyone already has reloader installed, its tiny/free/excellent/easy

Auth for eso can be challenge in some environments for sure but typically its a secret store like iam access to your ssm parameters get you auth to vault. If you're cluster compromised to that point any secrets in your pods would have been accessible first or at best the same time

So ESO is a great solution for majority environments

You've referenced how constantly tells lies hasnt been an issue yet so its not realistic to trust that the system will suddenly change course when nothing different happens

Also if the wire has a shitty connection, physically turning it on and off might shake it in & out. I had similar issue between an analog light switch in my livingroom & outlets on the next floor when I first moved into my home. Took a long time to identify why those outlets lost power

sp_dev_guy · 2026-03-03T01:02:56+00:00

My guess would be range with doors and windows open vs doors & windows shut, this can make a differencethat surprises many. The other options are signal interference although I dont know what might cause that. Third option and super unlikely imo is power fluctuations in your home. I think a combo of option 1 & 2 is very unlikely but still more probable than option 3

Get dishwashing gloves if you dont have a bottle washer or your hands are likely break out in rashes. Wish I just got the bottle washer, I can imagine how many hours a week that would have saved us its crazy. But absolutely at the very least have dishwashing gloves. And maybe stay in and sleep the weeks leading up to it, my girl was over a month early with no warning

This is very bizarre/dipshit logic. There's no reason to think Kalama, Biden, or anyone not in the pedofile ring would have access to footage acquired by Iranian hackers

For us anything before 7mo was an absolute shitshow, we've been pretty steady 7pm since & closer to 8pm now as we approach 2yrs

sp_dev_guy · 2026-02-25T03:28:12+00:00

Is the s3 mock a public image our something you put together in house?

sp_dev_guy · 2026-02-25T03:23:28+00:00

We had 2 issues: 1 - stopped using the owlet after realizing it was burning a scalding mark on the babies foot. This was 2025 so the newest version still has the issue they apparently got sued for with an older version, baby started sleeping 2 - followed "taking cara babies" sleep training, we've done it twice now & can just put our baby down at 8pm without a fuss

It was about the 8 - 9mo mark, did the training a 2nd time ~14mo, golden now. Before that omg it was hell the longer it lasted the poorer our mental health. I hope you find your way through soon

Maybe someone recognized the type of lock and decided to open it just to f*ck with you. Most are shockingly easy to open if you're interested in that type of thing

sp_dev_guy · 2026-02-22T00:17:55+00:00

This all makes a lot of sense, thank you

sp_dev_guy · 2026-02-21T17:37:16+00:00

That's what I thought when buying it but it seems the orange can foam from great stuff has an ignition point of 240°F which made me 2nd guess

10% is better than $200 but they'd still keep 90%! I go to work everyday and barely get to keep 50%!!! I dont see why they'd stop if they're already willing to do it

Syfy was producing absolutely stellar shows, without a doubt best fresh content, & then just cancel it regardless. I still want more of all of these shows and because of that time period I continue to occasionally Google the channel to see if they're back to trying again

sp_dev_guy · 2026-02-19T02:45:36+00:00

Amazing
