I can’t believe I haven’t seen external secrets before. Sealed secrets are cool, but such a pain as you described. Gonna be setting up external secrets next week sounds like. Thanks for the great post

I have been using “gaming” keyboards for coding for ~10 years now. The only thing to be wary of imo, is keebs that have “extra customizable keys” on them and break conformity from a standard layout. Depends on the device, but Logitech will call them “G keys”, for example, and often stick them on the far left of the board, left of tab/caps/L shift. Makes life a lot more difficult if not gaming.

Outside of that, I think calling something a “gaming” keyboard is more of a marketing tactic to up the price. It’s hard to not recommend mechanical, but that sounds out of budget and often hard to do wireless/bluetooth, but personally I think mech is the top priority.

What I have seen a lot of peers do is wait to see whatever keyboard the get in office, then buy the same one for home for consistency, rather than dragging a personal one back and forth. Often companies will offer basic boards like logitech K270, K350, or K650. Not amazing, not terrible, and most likely fit in your described criteria.

Im a bit late to the show, but I personally feel like you are heading down the wrong path. Unless you are trying to completely host locally, but for some reason want your backups in the cloud, and not simply on separate local server, you are mixing your design for seemingly no reason. If you are hosting locally, you should back up to a separate local instance.

If you indeed are cloud based, you SHOULD NOT be hosting a DB separately. Since you specified S3, you are using AWS, and you should rather use RDS managed mySQL and should use the snapshot feature built in. ref

Interesting perspective I hadn’t considered before, thanks for sharing. Also, not sure where the Java 7 thing comes from, but I run Java 17 with gradle/kotlin non-android, works very well in IntelliJ, outside of consuming a million gigs of ram lol

I believe in GitHub branch protection rules, you can set required review by a code owner, as well as set an amount of reviews required.

You are also able to structure codeowner files and assign codeowners to certain paths within the repo that they “own”, rather than all or nothing.

You are able to set bypass rules for certain individuals, and as repo admin there is a little checkbox on PRs that will appear by default to allow you to ignore the requirements, although it is generally not recommended, but I won’t harp on the reasons others have already pointed out.

disclaimer: I mainly work on a GHES instance, which may be function slightly different than public GH

I think JetBrains has fully bought into Gradle. I think Maven support has been less and less over time, which shouldn’t be a surprise. Gradle supports native Kotlin build scripts (i.e. build.gradle.kts), as well as putting a lot of work into ensuring their tools fit well within the Gradle ecosystem (exhibit A: https://github.com/JetBrains/intellij-platform-plugin-template). I think it only natural for the creator/owner/maintainer of Kotlin to go full in on the build system that supports the language!

controversial take: who still uses maven? who would prefer xml files over build scripts? (ok… fine, big timers like RedHat definitely do, or at least, have never taken/don’t want to take the time to upgrade lol)

I’m not big on Samsung devices outside TVs/monitors (although expensive, definitely best quality IMO). However, I am a fan of them leaning toward affordability to the average consumer! Assuming able to root, remove Tizen, and install from custom ROM, I may look into getting one of these now.

I prefer a similar workflow.

I am a major advocate of keeping CI as simple as possible, and letting build tools do the job they were built to do. Basic builds and unit/component testing. No need for overcomplicating things for the sake of “doing it all in one place”.

CD is where things get dirty, and it really depends on how/what/where you are deploying.

Generally speaking, if integration testing with external systems is necessary, I like to have contract testing with these systems done during CI, then integration/e2e in an environment that mimics production (bonus points if ephemeral).

Just make sure to test the regex instead of blindly slapping it in assuming it works 🙂

It covers each and every line of the source code, each and every conditional statement in the program and every loop otherwise known as iteration in the program.

I think it is important to note 100% code coverage (“covers each and every line”) does not mean the tests are good tests.

The myth of 100% code coverage

Yes, I write SpringBoot microservices and IntelliJ plugins using Kotlin. Any new code is Kotlin, but there is still a ton of Java, which I don’t consider “legacy”, since it works, and if I can sanely add Kotlin when necessary, I don’t see the need for “full rewrite”.

You may get more traction by asking the Kotlin community

I did not know this, thank you for sharing. I am going to leave the comment because it has generated some good discourse (and hopefully maybe more) and in my reality, I don’t think I would even notice if this instance chooses defederation.

I look towards the experts to try and form my opinion here, as I am not one.

Our stance: We have been advocating for interoperability between platforms for years. The biggest hurdle to users switching platforms when those platforms become exploitative is the lock-in of the social graph, the fact that switching platforms means abandoning everyone you know and who knows you. The fact that large platforms are adopting ActivityPub is not only validation of the movement towards decentralized social media, but a path forward for people locked into these platforms to switch to better providers. Which in turn, puts pressure on such platforms to provide better, less exploitative services. This is a clear victory for our cause, hopefully one of many to come.

I see that full blog as a “threads is good for the fediverse”. I only look at and interact with local on this instance, but am generically against jumping to defederation because “no like”.

The most simple way of explaining the cloud computing is storing, accessing, and processing data over the internet instead of using a traditional client server architecture.

Just because your compute is “in the cloud” doesn’t mean it isn’t a server, and it definitely can still be client/server architecture

Cloud provider hosted server accessed by client = client/server architecture
