For various internal tools & other projects, I started using config only tools and avoid code as much as possible.

We can also use systemd timer and it ensures there is no overlap.

You can specify requirements at the top of file and uv can run the script after automatically installing the dependencies.

I used to use other tools like supabase and others for side projects.

After discovering pocketbase, I never went back to any of those tools. Works surprisingly well even for mid to large web-apps.

I stumbled up on this issue recently while setting up GHA and switched to AWS ECR Gallery which doesn't have limits.

After trying out various file managers, I am able to do this in xplr file manager finally. Not sure if any other file managers support this.

New comment by chillaranand in "Extracting Subset of Common Crawl Data on Laptop"

chillaranand — Thu, 17 Nov 2022 01:50:23 +0000

Each Common crawl monthly data consists of ~100 TB. For some use cases, we don't need entire data set. We just need a subset of the data.

In this post, lets see how we can extract sub set of the data from our laptop itself.

chillaranand — Mon, 02 Nov 2020 13:35:49 +0000

We can also use ssl-cert-check cli tool. `ssl-cert-check -s avilpage.com -p 443 -x 30` will return if the certificate will expire in 30 days.

We can use this command in CI pipeline or setup a cron job to monitor it.
