Diun Receive notifications when a Docker image is updated on a Docker registry crazymax.dev [1] Diun, looks like a very interesting tool to monitor for image updates, it does not make any change, it only makes notifications. This feels like an easy start to getting image updates started with low effort, keep git [2] ops, but requires manual updates. I see this as a tool that would be a great start and pair well with automated image updaters to ensure they are working as expected. Note This post is a thought [3].

Keel Kubernetes Operator to automate Helm, DaemonSet, StatefulSet & Deployment updates keel.sh [1] Keel looks interesting, I might give it a try as a simple image updater.

I’ve only done very specific backend endpoints, built pages up from partials, made endpoints for partials. keeping this one in my back pocket. I’m just kind of amazed that he could do this all in html [2] without touching the backend or js, typically things like this require one or the other. Yes js is running, but no other js library I’m aware of lets you do this. Note This post is a thought [3].

Using pbpaste for command substitution keeps sensitive or long URLs out of your shell history. Instead of typing git clone https://github.com/user/repo-with-long-name.git, copy the URL to clipboard and run git clone "$(pbpaste)". This prevents the URL from appearing in ~/.bash_history or ~/.zsh_history. To get pbpaste working on both Xorg and Wayland, add this to your shell config: if [[ $(command -v wl-copy) ]]; then alias pbcopy='wl-copy' pbpaste() { wl-paste; } elif [[ $(command -v xclip) ]]; then alias pbcopy='xclip -selection clipboard' pbpaste() { xclip -selection clipboard -o; } fi The function approach (instead of alias) enables command substitution, while the quotes around $(pbpaste) handle spaces and special characters safely. Now you can use it. git clone "$(pbpaste)" More importantly secrets can stay out of your history. export GITHUB_TOKEN="$(pbpaste)" export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID="$(pbpaste)" export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY="$(pbpaste)" export DATABASE_URL="$(pbpaste)"
