Sometimes, mostly when throwing together a quick idea or MVP, it can be useful to just register all models with the admin and leave proper customization for later.

How to add things to a list using kustomize. This is useful for example when you need to patch additional environment variables into a pod.

Copy & paste from untrusted sources on the internet into the terminal is a really bad idea! Early in my career I did it too and still often see others doing it.

Hugo is my favorite tool for publishing markdown to the internet, but sometimes I want to do something a little bit more advanced with my posts.

With this shortcode I can always just fall back to plain old HTML.

The HTML details element is a nice way to create natively expandable content with wide browser support.

Cowsay is one of those packages you just end up installing randomly on just about any client over time.

And if your using ansible you may be in for a little surprise:

Django’s CSRF protection is usually a great thing, but when building (API) endpoints meant to be accessed by scripts/third parties it gets in the way of that.

This is how to disable it:

For a class based view

from django.utils.decorators import method_decorator
from django.views.decorators.csrf import csrf_exempt

@method_decorator(csrf_exempt, name='dispatch')
class MyView(View):
    pass

For a function based view

from django.views.decorators.csrf import csrf_exempt

@csrf_exempt
def my_view(request):
    pass

I write an extensive personal knowledge base using markdown, code-server and a variety of other tools. Originally, in 2021, I wanted to have something like Obsidian Publish but self-hosted, so I created it.

Over time my knowledge base evolved more into a second brain, tracking not only my technical notes and journal, but also things like recipes and hikes. With this my publishing pipeline, and the script at it’s core, extended in a multitude of ways.

In this post I share my process for building the MVP for PodHistory, from idea to launched product and what my next steps will be.

Since early 2019 the sprig library used by helm provides a concat function that does exactly this.
