I recently noticed that my og [1] images were missing emoji. They were taken using headless chrome in a container. I fixed it by adding an emoji font in the containerfile / dockerfile. RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y \ # Add fonts with emoji support fonts-noto-color-emoji \ && rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/* Before # [2] Here’s what they were looking like with broken emoji fonts.

Manufacturer Recertified Drives | Enterprise Grade Manufacturer Recertified enterprise drives work and look like new. Rebuilt by the manufacturer and quality tested to ensure they function as new, our recertified drives save on cost. Shop now! ServerPartDeals.com · serverpartdeals.com [1] For my next drive upgrade in my homelab [2] I am gong to be using one of these factory recertified drives from serverpartdeals.com. Found them on an LTT video awhile back. They are some lightly used and recertified, fully burnt in drives. Shop for drives that are certified once again by the manufacturer to work like new. Factory ReCertified drives are cost-effective alternatives compared to factory-sealed new counter parts. Additionally, unlike in mass production, the re-certification process involves closer attention to the overall operation of the hardware so that the re-certification will not have to happen a 2nd time Note This post is a thought [3].

Keycloak Keycloak - the open source identity and access management solution. Add single-sign-on and authentication to applications and secure services with minimum effort. Keycloak · keycloak.org [1] Keycloak looks like an interesting way to setup sso. It’s part of the cncf so it’s got a good backing. I want something better for argo workflows and this might be it.

- Don’t stop learning! Stop trying because you have a doomer outlook on ai, llms, industry and think they are taking over. If you have no hope for the future, if you stop now you are cementing in that you will be no good and the ai will be better. Many, maybe most of us in this industry go here by hard work, long nights of learning, trying to solve problems that our job had. If llms take over then the world is going to be a whole lot different, it will be a world you cannot predict or plan for. For now put your head down and succeed in the world we have today. TEEJ has some great thoughts on this whole sentiment, put this on for you morning walk or whatever you do. Note This post is a thought [1].

- I like the charts that Theo brings to to these videos. Shout out for a positive k8s reference and not shitting on it. [2] Htmx brings html [3]/css just a bit further down the complexity graph with little to no extra effort, while react allows us to go all the way full complexity at the cost of build and dev complexity to go from zero to 100 as soon as its introduced. [4] htmx brings us back to the ease of jquery ajax without any complex swapping or json parsing, all of the object parsing and html templating is done in the backend, the front end just tracks where to put it. HTMX couples the frontend and backend much tigher, since all of the front end html is generated in the backend, done correctly it is not possible for the front end to get out of sync and try to do things that the back end does not know how to handle, vice versa.

Creator of The Balanced Engineer newsletter and co-host of the Overcommitted po... Brittany Ellich · brittanyellich.com [1] It’s interesting how many people in tech maintain a blog. I think part of this brings us back to web 1.0 days when so many individual websites owned the web it was a free for all unindexed land and you got to own a small piece of it. I agree with most of Brittany’s points here I write a lot to keep my skills sharp, and to refer back to. Brittany mentions keeping all her old posts, even the cringy ones. I’m all with you here, I’m just wodering how you look back at anything you wrote in the past and not get a bit of that feel, maybe its just me, but I see cringe and mistakes gallore, but it all makes me better moving forward.

Availability Staff Software Engineer at GitHub specializing in developer productivity, AI-assisted development, and accessibility. Creator of The Balanced Engineer newsletter and co-host of the Overcommitted po... Brittany Ellich · brittanyellich.com [1] nice overview of availability measurements and what they really mean. The crazy world we live in today depends on so many things runnig, its also so hard to measure your uptime, The uptime metrics can mean a lot of different things. The site is up and accepting traffic, but can users make changes or submit orders, there is a lot more to it than just up or down. I really appreciate Brittany’s story from Nike nested in there.
