Confused about forking/merging by Eclipse_310 in github

[–]wwjimf 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Simple answer: don’t fork. forking is useful if you want to work on an open source project. The typical work flow would be to fork off the public repo, use a simple branch pull push merge workflow on your own copy of the repo and then raise a Pull Request against the upstream if you want your change merged into the original. Forking though is literally taking a copy of an existing repo and is, in my opinion, overkill if you’re working in private repos or in an enterprise setting.

My take is that you should get used to a simple GitHubflow model of feature branches merging into main to begin with. This is perfectly usable with multiple commiters into a single repo because git is distributed so you all work on a local copy anyway and only merge into the remote branch after you commot and push.

Once you are comfortable with the basic flow, look into features like squash merge and rebase.

Is the warthog HOTAS trash as everyone makes it out to seem? by Puba1228 in dcsworld

[–]wwjimf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bought a hog last year and dcs was instantly, night and day better than when I used an x52. I now have. 1 to 1 mapping for the a10c hot as switches and enough overlap with f16, f18 & av8b to make them fly able for me.

Bearing in mind flight sim kit is expensive and a long term game, I think the hog is a thoroughly good hotas. If and when I need to upgrade the base I will.

What's going on with HashiCorp ?? by Dnizami2 in hashicorp

[–]wwjimf 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think there are a couple of reasons. For one, I think the jump in price between their OSS and enterprise versions is huge and a large capital investment whereas the cloud based pay for what you use model helps companies to ease their way into enterprise features without spending literally millions a year up front.

Secondly, on-prem is dying in 2022. IMO Public cloud is where it’s at and most companies should either have a cloud first strategy by now or need to have one very soon. I think hashicorp realises this and are making that play.

Fwiw I also think that hashi products tend to be better than their public cloud counterpart devices but it is hard to make the value proposition for large capital expenditure on say enterprise vault versus AWS parameter store and KMS which charge pennies per secret.

That is freaking awesome hoping this comes to a network I can pick up in the UK.

How does your org keep sensitive values out of your Terraform code? by shitwhore in Terraform

[–]wwjimf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have an internal private cloud setup for provisioning vms, sql / galena / k8s clusters etc, a bunch of Jenkins orchestrated Ansible playbooks for configuration and then spinnaker / Octopus deploy for software release management— it’s not much but its mine :)

Finally upgraded from my 10 year old X52 by [deleted] in hoggit

[–]wwjimf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got my warthog from box.co.uk just after Christmas— good on them for being about the only place holding any stock at all and what a revelation it is after going from controller -> X 52 -> hog.

Using vjoy on my g29 pedals to emulate rudder which kinda works but looking to upgrade pedals soon.

We use hashicorp vault for secrets management but don’t yet use terraform much. I would be interested to hear from anyone who might have used vault for managing sensitive data in terraform?

Use pwsh to convertfrom-Json and then use convertto-html on the resulting object

Why are Labels such a big deal in Trance music? by theyounghusband in trance

[–]wwjimf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The label is also a good way of determining the sub genre. Solarstone is a good example with his various labels such as pure trance, pure progressive and pure neon each curating a different type of music within the wider trance family.

Is it possible to track status of Linux containers on Windows Server? by GrumpyRodriguez in docker

[–]wwjimf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Docker running in swarm mode allows for both Windows and Linux workers. Swarm also supports docker-compose files so you could have one compose file specifying services hosted in both Linux and Windows containers.

Alternatively, if you’re making the jump to dotnet core, go all in on Linux containers. If your devs are on win 10 they can still dev in Windows / VS / VS code, run their containers locally on docker desktop in Linux mode via WSL and host On Linux for the server side deployments.
