Notes

When doing variable substitution with sed things break if the value contains the delimiter used by sed.

Most of these should work the same with any OCI compliant client. Tested with podman and docker, unless otherwise indicated.

# Run container interactively
podman run -it IMAGE:TAG SHELL

# With auto removing the container on exit
podman run -it --rm IMAGE:TAG SHELL

# With current working dir mounted to container
podman run -it -v ${PWD}:/tmp/host-dir/ IMAGE:TAG SHELL

# Detaching from the interactive session
# Keybinding: Ctrl+P, then Ctrl+Q

# Attaching to a container
podman attach "ID OR NAME"

For some reason Microsoft, in their infinite wisdom, decided to no longer support moving the taskbar to other edges of the screen with Windows 11.

Using a utility like ExplorerPatcher the whole task bar can be reverted to something close to Windows 10, including moving it to all screen edges.

This is a simple script that takes multiple kube config files and deeply merges them into one.

Often times we need the current date (and time) when scripting inside bash or other shells. For example when creating a backup file or writing to a log.

Sometimes it is useful to wait for a port to be closed, for example when updating an app that can’t always properly be shut down using other Ansible modules.

This can easily be achieved using the ansible.builtin.wait_for or ansible.builtin.win_wait_for module.

My preferred minimalistic CSS framework, which is usually enough for small websites and even simple SaaS apps. It feels like a super power to write almost plain HTML and get something that looks presentable, supports dark mode and has just enough components to cover most use cases for me.

Often times when writing scripts I want to reference files in the same directory, but keep the script portable in case it is part of a git repository being checked out somewhere else or just the folder getting moved.

I was recently doing a lot of layouting pages to later be printed, so showing how big certain elements are was of help to me.

This is a JavaScript function that does just that.

Using flex children can easily be positioned vertically in their parent container.

When debugging issues with CSS layouts it can sometimes be tricky to really understand what is going on.

I often find myself wanting a simple copy button in my web projects.

This is the recipe I build them from using clipboard.js and a couple lines of JavaScript.

Sometimes, when working with externally generated content you might want to make links clickable when rendering it in the client.

This is a snippet to do just that.

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.

I often whish to search through large bodies of text, like my knowledge base or source code repositories, from the command line.

I use fuz for this and I’m quite happy with it.

I also have it aliased to my knowledge base folder for even easier searching.

alias search="fuz -p /path/to/knowledge-base/"

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.
