Nice example of adding a healthcheck to fastapi, and integrating it with docker. Don’t forget to include curl in the install, nice touch.

new versions of just now come with color variables already set.

I found this nugget in thechangelogs justfile, it lets you add color to your justfile with variables quite easily.

# https://linux.101hacks.com/ps1-examples/prompt-color-using-tput/ _BOLD := "$(tput bold)" _RESET := "$(tput sgr0)" _BLACK := "$(tput bold)$(tput setaf 0)" _RED := "$(tput bold)$(tput setaf 1)" _GREEN := "$(tput bold)$(tput setaf 2)" _YELLOW := "$(tput bold)$(tput setaf 3)" _BLUE := "$(tput bold)$(tput setaf 4)" _MAGENTA := "$(tput bold)$(tput setaf 5)" _CYAN := "$(tput bold)$(tput setaf 6)" _WHITE := "$(tput bold)$(tput setaf 7)" _BLACKB := "$(tput bold)$(tput setab 0)" _REDB := "$(tput setab 1)$(tput setaf 0)" _GREENB := "$(tput setab 2)$(tput setaf 0)" _YELLOWB := "$(tput setab 3)$(tput setaf 0)" _BLUEB := "$(tput setab 4)$(tput setaf 0)" _MAGENTAB := "$(tput setab 5)$(tput setaf 0)" _CYANB := "$(tput setab 6)$(tput setaf 0)" _WHITEB := "$(tput setab 7)$(tput setaf 0)"

Hurl was mentioned by @gerhard on the latest changelog and Friends. Looks like a feature rich easy to use testing tool that is tested via what looks like a config file.

Hurl is a command line tool that runs HTTP requests defined in a simple plain text format. It can chain requests, capture values and evaluate queries on headers and body response. Hurl is very versatile: it can be used for both fetching data and testing HTTP sessions. Hurl makes it easy to work with HTML content, REST / SOAP / GraphQL APIs, or any...

Today I discovered the Urllink function in bash from the ujust tool from ublue.it. Seems like a cool trick, but might not work everywhere.

Simple, modern and high performance file watching and code reload in python.

I’m really excited about turso, an amazing project by tursodatabase. It’s worth exploring!

Turso Database is a project to build the next evolution of SQLite.

limbo by tursodatabase is a game-changer in its space. Excited to see how it evolves.

Limbo is a work-in-progress, in-process OLTP database management system, compatible with SQLite.

For some reason the ublue ecosystem does not prompt you to set your hostname on install and you get a hostname like bazzite showing up. Looks like this is the fix.

hostnamectl –static hostname babyblue-aurora

Great examples for working with s3 buckets with ansible.

I came across cockpit-identities from 45Drives, and it’s packed with great features and ideas.

User and group management plugin for Houston UI (Cockpit)

cockpit-file-sharing by 45Drives is a game-changer in its space. Excited to see how it evolves.

A Cockpit plugin to easily manage samba and NFS file sharing.

On reboot of my opnsense router it did not tailscale up. I’m not sure if a key expired or what happened. The fix was to first enable ssh, then ssh in and run tailscale up.

In opnsense System > Settings > Administration > Secure Shell > Enable Secure Shell

ssh <opnsense ip> 8 # to select shell tailscale up

Follow the link to log in.

now uncheck secure shell to lock down the opnsense machine.

I’ve been debugging a cloudflared tunnel issue in my homelab all day today, and getting really frustrated. My issue ended up being that it was running twice, once without the correct config file and another with it. I believe that cacheing may have compounded the issue.

In yesterday’s post I setup a cloudflared tunnel on my ubuntu server to expose applications running on the server to the internet. I’m setting up a new server and running cloudflared in its own vm.

setup cloudflared tunnel on...

I run a cloudflared tunnel on my ubuntu server to expose applications running on the server to the internet. I’m setting up a new server and running cloudflared in its own vm.

sudo wget https://github.com/cloudflare/cloudflared/releases/latest/download/cloudflared-linux-amd64 -O /usr/local/bin/cloudflared sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/cloudflared

#

Now setup the config directory. For the systemd service to work, the config file needs to be in /etc/cloudflared. I like to give my user rights to edit the config file without being sudo, we will do that here by creating a group cloudflared, add ourselves to the group, give ownership of /etc/cloudflared to the group, give group write access to the directory, and refresh groups.

sudo mkdir -p /etc/cloudflared sudo groupadd cloudflared sudo usermod -aG cloudflared $USER sudo chown -R root:cloudflared /etc/cloudflared sudo chmod g+w /etc/cloudflared newgrp cloudflared

login #

Now we can log into the domain zone with cloudflared.

This guy fit 2 3.5" drives and an sdd in a dell 7050 SFF. It looks tight, and there it probably not much airflow running in it, but its an impressive project.

I tried this fix on my secretlabs chair, but unfortunately it did nothing for me. Mine ended up being an issue in the tilt mechanism and not the hydraulic piston. I greased the crap out of it, it can only help the longevity. I did notice that the two washers on either side of my bearing were quite worn in.

This is definitely happening to my secretlabs chair. I did the fix this morning, its still not perfect, but it’s better now than it has been in a long time. Mine use to be so bad that it would pop and creak every time I sat down or moved the smallest bit. It’s now quiet through the mid range of its motion with the occasional pop when I sit down.

switching cloud providers, theres no easy way. K8s was supposed to get us there, haha, the deep integrations with each vendor just keep locking us in

Dang, love this guys branding. Hooks to get stuff offDaBench, what a freaking cool name.
