I am not sure how your groups are structured, but something like this might work for this [0] use case:

    package play

    import rego.v1

    default allow := false

    allow if {
        user := input.id

        user in data.groups.A
        user in data.groups.B
        not user in data.groups.C
    }

If you’re using OPA or learning Rego, you might be interested in checking out Regal - the Rego linter.

I have the same setup and find that I can’t use my cam link through my Caldigit element hub as the video freezes. Do you connect the cam link directly to your computer? It seems the cam link needs an entire bus bandwidth to function. :(

I'm not sure which law it counts as exactly. Apple's own docs and were enough for me to explain to them using the correct terms: https://www.apple.com/uk/legal/statutory-warranty/uk/

Yeah, I believe so. I think you need to go to an Apple Authorised Service Provider and then take the fault report to John Lewis to kick off the process. Assuming that your laptop is on this list: https://support.apple.com/en-gb/keyboard-service-program-for...

If you live in the UK or the EU, I think you can follow the process I went through in 2019, provided that you bought the laptop in the last N years, where N seems to change depending on which country you're in. England is 6 years, Scotland is 5.

I went through an EU consumer law claim. I documented the process here: https://charlieegan3.com/posts/2019-11-02-refunding-another-.... I understand this is largely unchanged after Brexit.

Ask HN: How can I find out what my roaming carrier will be?

charlieegan3 — Tue, 29 Nov 2022 18:11:28 +0000

If I have a phone plan in country X with roaming, what will I get when roaming in country Y?

I find that the level of service is very variable when roaming and I'd be interested to know before my trip if it's worth getting a travel eSIM or roaming on my other contract instead.

Sometimes I find it hard to tell if I'm being throttled, have bad connection, or using a slow network and it's frustrating.

I'd like to be able to enter my home provider & plan, and lookup what I'd get at my destination. Does such a thing exist?

I have thought about this before too. last.fm is well supported by services and players. It’s often the only option when there’s no API to access now playing on the device.

I created gpxif [1] to update time and location data on image files from my camera.

With this tool I can keep the camera in UTC and use gpx data from Garmin or OwnTracks to tag photos with the correct location and offset time.

You might be able to get what you need with IFTTT or Zapier. They have email digests and support RSS triggers.

New comment by charlieegan3 in "An Open-Source HDMI Capture Card"

charlieegan3 — Fri, 14 Oct 2022 12:00:16 +0000

I have an Elgato Cam Link 4K and it's a pain to use with my Sony camera and M1 MacBook (webcam scenario).

I find that the card needs an entire USB _bus_ (not port) to itself to function without the stream freezing regularly - even on 1080p. This means I can't connect it via my thunderbolt dock (CalDigit Element Hub).

Does anyone know if this open implementation would have the same issue?

Certainly the best option I've found for my needs. Good luck :)

I have moved a Rails and Go app to https://northflank.com. I have my Rails app running in their free project (limited to two services and 2 jobs) and my Go app in a paid project. I find the pricing to be very reasonable and considerably cheaper than Heroku.

I was looking for somewhere I could run web services and cron jobs both in the same place.

They have a Heroku importer, however I think you need to ask to have it turned on. I found that it was easier for me to build docker images for my apps and use a 'build service' instead however. YMMV

I found their support to be very responsive and enjoy using their UI. The UI, builds and so on all feel very fast.

Northflank can run databases, however for my databases I've been running them on ElephantSQL for some time (https://www.elephantsql.com) - even when I was on Heroku.
