When I lived back East I gigged semi-regularly in a few mid-level cover bands that typically played in alcohol-serving establishments (i.e. in a bar band). We’d get paid anywhere between $400 and $800 a night depending on the venue and gig. Since professional sound would have been more than half of the take that had to be split several ways between members I ended up purchasing the equipment and running sound.
I’ve been a happy user of Firefox for the past two decades since just before they changed their name from Firebird. Due to some ups and downs in usability and performance I did briefly entertain Opera and Chromium on the side for specific purposes but Firefox has been my constant primary browser. I never really installed extensions or was much of a power user until several years back when I started taking my browsing experience more seriously.
Time for another zsh one-liner… if you want to generate a 20-character random alphanumeric password this will do it: LC_CTYPE=C LC_ALL=C tr -dc "a-zA-Z0-9-_\$\?" < /dev/urandom | head -c 20; echo …no LastPass required!
A month or two ago I noticed that an application I was working on broke after an automatic terraform apply that had been ran as part of a CI job. kubectl quickly revealed an ImagePullBackOff as the culprit. It turned out that the wrong image tag had been specified in one of the .tf files and the kubelet was trying to pull a non-existent image. While it would be nice if the Kubernetes Terraform provider was smart enough to check for this ahead of time it makes sense as to why it doesn’t… your machine isn’t on the same network as the kubelet, isn’t using the same credentials for the Docker pull, and might not be running the same OS or container engine.
EDITOR’S NOTE: Confluent’s Terraform provider for this purpose is finally GA. You should probably just use that. You’re probably here via a search engine in a feverish quest for a solution so I’ll just get straight to it: Here’s some HCL for provisioning a Confluent Cloud Kafka cluster along with accompanying resources. variable "confluentcloud_username" {} variable "confluentcloud_password" {} terraform { required_providers { confluentcloud = { source = "Mongey/confluentcloud" version = "0.
Here’s a quick, handy one-liner that I whipped up the other day… if you want to find all the images presently running in your Kubernetes cluster this will give you a newline-delimited list: kubectl get pods -o jsonpath="{.items[*].spec.containers[*].image}" | tr " " "\n" | sort -u This is probably completely obvious to those with better bash-fu and ability to write Kubernetes YAML from memory than I, but hey, it took me a few minutes to come up with and I’d like to save my future self a history grep and help those who were in the same boat as I was when I sought how to do this initially.
For months my OpenWRT-equipped router has been sitting in my closet collecting dust because I couldn’t figure out how to get it to pull an IP from Cox’s DHCP. This then prompted me to bang out a few paragraphs regarding my thoughts on pfSense and OpenWRT. In the very probable case that you aren’t interested in my home networking journey and are more interested in getting your router working here’s the quick and dirty (looking at you, recipe web sites):
