Here's a simple test:

`kubectl exec -it` a pod:

curl -k --fail https://ingress-nginx-controller-admission.ingress-nginx.svc...

If you see 400 Bad Request, that means this pod has access to the admission controller.

How easy would it be to find an avenue to make a request to the admission controller for anything running on your k8s cluster? (maybe your service takes any kind of URL and makes a request on your server...there's infinite possibilities of exploiting this.)

I am rethinking my choice in using ingress-nginx entirely, perhaps it's time to find a simpler solution that has more secure defaults.

Am I the only one who feels like developers really need to be a bit more vocal in defending themselves, their craft, and even their sanity? Are we quiet because of the large salaries in the space?

I suppose the biggest question is how do you defend the craft but at the same time keep the advantage of automation and AI? (is it unions?)

That's my theory anyway. I remember when Instagram Reels was just awful and all the suggestions sucked, now it's actually good.

Surprising outcome, but very similar to what happened with Snapchat. Everyone used Snapchat and suddenly Instagram added Stories and over time people just used Instagram again when Instagram polished Stories enough.

Hmm, I guess Meta is unstoppable in the social media space.

If I want to see my monthly expenses (total), it doesn't let me. It just shows me how much I need to save this much in each bucket.

Weird.

What seemed impossible, becomes possible. No matter the layer of complexity, your Kubernetes operator, the Kubernetes codebase, you can DOWNLOAD IT, MODIFY IT and PUSH IT. This is NOT the first time I've cloned code that may seem complicated to fix and understand and did it.

The lesson is basically this:

Give yourself no limits, you will have no limits. Dive deeper!

Of course other lessons (which are more obvious.)

1.Make sure you upgrade your software

2. If your backups are disk snapshots, you may not be able to actually recover from them if the running software cannot resume

I stop drinking coffee and BAM, I sleep like a baby. It doesn't MATTER when I drink it, I can drink it at 6AM and I will not have a good deep sleep. I am unsure if this is coincidence, but I also notice I remember way less dreams when I am on caffeine than not. I also find it's a compounding effect which is why it's slightly annoying.

If I drink 1 cup, in 2 weeks, my sleep will be fine so I will think, okay, it's not the caffeine. Then I will continue drinking it for weeks and suddenly I haven't had a good nights rest in weeks and I'm wondering what is going on. Not having deep sleep for weeks really has a big impact on your stress levels, memory, emotional well being and general energy levels.

The annoying part is coffee is so good for productivity so I go through cycles (also you start to think it's the stress not the caffeine that's causing the sleep issue!)

Weeks of stressful work - drink more caffeine to get all the work done - bad sleep, bad mood, bad energy levels, aka all the negative affects from not having enough deep sleep.

Weeks of less stressful work, no caffeine, great sleep, great mood/energy levels, etc.

I've always convinced myself that not drinking caffeine for deep sleep is just placebo, but I've tested it so many times that it just can't be.

Is there a way to test if you're a slower metabolizer? I know my partner can drink 3 cups and she is totally fine, lucky her! I'm 100% convinced I am, but it would be cool to test by some sort of blood/urine test?

The augmented reality shifting to virtual with the dial is so genius. I feel like a kid, and that's rare to feel these days. Love it, dream on Apple!

Can you imagine how annoying it would be to deal with 1,000 cheap customers that expect the world? Maybe they should sell it at $100/mo and sell it to only 100 people that really care about the problem.

Maybe just sell it to a business for $200/mo for all developers, they would only need 50 businesses to make $10,000/month and they would also remove the annoying, cheap, high expectation developer out of the equation.

Developers and engineers are probably the worst customer to have, insane expectations, complain about everything, criticize everything and use a magnifying glass to point out any issues, black/white thinking etc.

My theory is writing code has all of these expectations in it. You need to be highly critical, black/white (or you would drift into a world of options.) have insane expectations (or your manager gets mad at you.) etc. All great qualities for writing code, but the worst qualities for a customer.

I'm a developer too by the way, so please don't be offended, I've been there and done that, the other side is much nicer. For example, I activated my iCloud to 2TB at $10/mo instead of making a custom backup solution that I can run for $2/mo. Would I have done that years ago? Yes and the result would have been me spending 80 hours building the backup system that can't even get my photos back on my phone properly.

What I'm trying to say is, it's sad to watch developers suffer for a small amount of money per month. I honestly believe it's a failure of the people who manage developers. I may be reaching here, but I think a lot of developers have been treated poorly in general from managers, projects and high expectations. They are rarely rewarded properly which is actual recognition for the work they do. It's not free massages, free lunches and cool workspaces. As a result, I believe developers are the givers and the companies and managers are the takers. The takers siphon the life out of developers and to the point where they're so risk averse they won't even spend $100 to go to a spa to relieve some stress. They're so risk averse they won't even spend $30/month to make their lives easier.

What am I saying? Developers SPEND some money on yourselves. You DESERVE IT for the hard work you do. Stop being so risk averse just because the work you do is so.

Rant over.

Developers have high incomes, but are quite frankly, extremely cheap. And I actually mean cheap and not frugal. They will spend 40 hours/week for months to save $5/mo. There's basically no logic apart from that developers have a poor concept of time and money and are spending averse (again, cheap.)

In this case, this tool is $30/mo, or about $360 / year, what is that, 3 dinners for 2 people in a year? The tool may save the developer, let's say 3-4 hours / week and at 52 * 3 or about 156 hours of savings a year. At even 30 an hour, it's saved the developer $4,680, or at 60/hour, close to $10,000, but I can guarantee that 99% of developers will not spend $30/month to make their lives easier.

My only recommendation is try to sell this product to businesses and maybe offer them a deal based on the amount of developers they have. So sell it do a dev shop with 10 developers at $20/developer / per month. Businesses understand the time/money tradeoff and are not cheap.

Developers, my only word of advice, is seriously.. stop being so cheap and spend some money to make your lives easier.

Recently, I was looking for Espresso Machines and found https://www.home-barista.com/forums/ which is actually powered by PhpBB.

The amount of knowledge and information on that forum is changing the way I research products and search for things on the internet. I've learned so much deep knowledge on espresso machines and I've gone down rabbit holes of how water affects espresso machines.

It gave me a deep feeling of how awful Google and reddit are at having good quality information from experts. The users on the barista forums are just experts and have been around the forum for a very long time.

It's almost like Reddit and Google are fast food and Home Barista (and other forums that use PhpBB and similar technologies) are quality, home cooked meal past down from generations of knowledge.

Now I exclusively try to find forums for a specific topic and try to find the experts on those forums to get my information, usually through a forum.

Long live PhpBB and forums and these experts on there, it's a breath of fresh air exploring the internet away from the major social media products (including Google honestly.)

Note:

The fact that home-barista is using PhpBB is purely ironic, I did not know it was, this post just reminded me of a forum that had a wealth of information and that forums are great even in 2023, heh!

Dear

Wishing you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! May your days be filled with joy, laughter, and lots of eggnog. Speaking of eggnog, have you heard the one about the manager who tried to manage a team of developers? He kept telling them to "commit" to their work, but they just kept "pushing" him aside.

Cheers,

Seems like a landmine of licenses.

So it appears there are indeed two versions:

- VSCode (OSS) from GitHub (unable to access the Extension Marketplace.)

- VSCode from Microsoft (able to access the Extension Marketplace BUT you must agree to their terms here https://code.visualstudio.com/license.)

I did not know there were two versions. So I think the issue still remains for using Remote Development under the VSCode from Microsoft. You break their license by using it since I think VSCode Server runs when you use Remote - SSH.

Honestly, this seems like a fair compromise from Microsoft. VSCode and VSCode Server is fully open source but you must develop your own Extension Marketplace or install extensions on-behalf of your users... they need a business moat somewhere, others may disagree tho.

I guess for my own usage of Remote SSH, I should build everything from source (which seems a bit silly considering everyone else is using Remote SSH.) but seems silly to also open yourself to legal trouble.

I thought wow, how cool, I could run VSCode Server on one of my remote servers or use SSH with Remote Development (which sets up VSCode Server for you and tunnels it I believe.) and edit remotely.

What's super concerning is the license term for VSCode Server (https://code.visualstudio.com/license/server):

You cannot...

host, share, publish, rent or lease the software; or

But I'm pretty sure Remote Development extension installs and runs VSCode Server for you (which means hosting the software.), essentially setting you up to break the license and open your organization to legal trouble since you're now hosting VSCode Server...

Holly molly, there's currently 13,462,303 users using the Remote - SSH extension, all of them breaking the licensing terms of VSCode Server?

My credit card is on file and is working fine for all other products. I basically feel robbed. It just seems silly that they cannot give the assets back. The manager told me the same thing and told me to look at the Terms of Service.

Is this my fault given they had the credit card on file and its working fine for everything else? It just seems like Adobe has zero accountability.

Also I guess a bit of a warning to anyone who has Adobe Stock, make sure your payments are being processed or they will remove years of credits... To buy the amount of credits I have on their site, it's like $3000.

Same issue as you, ladder really made me want to play. I was top 11 in NA and in terms of my rank I was top 0.01%. People in the game would always invite me and constantly want to play with me. It's super rewarding being super good at something.

The issue is, with these competitive games, is that they take everything away from you and make your life unbalanced. I don't have an answer from you, apart from quitting entirely seemed like the wrong approach to me. At the end of the day, you're playing the game for a reason, it brings you joy in some way, and this week of not playing taught me that I love everything else in life and I also want to continue to play competitively, it just needs to be balanced (so weekends only.)

If weekends only lead to me also playing throughout the week, then I'm going to cut it off entirely, but for now, I think a balanced approach is best.

Thinking about why I play really helped me and not playing during the week reminded me of why I love the game and hate the game at the same time. I hate the game because everything in my life is better right now, work, relationship, body, stress levels, etc. You would be surprised how much energy your mind exerts being the best at a game.

The reason I love the game reminds me that life is so boring sometimes, I was just watching random YouTube videos and such as they're nothing compared to being the top 0.01% of a game. The ups, the downs, the competitiveness, the feeling of finally getting to the top of the game is unreal. The fact that the game just takes you out of reality, no thinking about work stresses, relationship stresses, it's just all magically gone. Your mind is just on a 1 way track to winning in the game. Amazing. Life is so short, sometimes it's great to get away.

I don't have an answer for you really, we're in the same spot. I hope we find a balance between playing our games and living our lives. Harmony. It's the only way, or you're sacrificing something :)
