These are notes I've taken on technologies that I have used or would like to use.
These notes started out some time before 2005 in VoodooPad 2. In December 2005 I discovered that you could self-host MediaWiki, so I moved my content into a private MediaWiki installation. Both VoodooPad and self-hosted MediaWiki worked fine for me, but as my notes became more useful and I wanted to show different sections to people in a way that let them discover useful content, the private nature of my self-hosted MediaWiki installation became problematic. MediaWiki also had the problem of being hosted by a web service, which meant it was not possible to access or edit content when my laptop was offline. I solved this for a while by running MediaWiki in a VM on my laptop, but that meant I couldn't access notes from other computers if my laptop was offline, and it meant I had a VM running at all time just to serve notes, which wasted a lot of resources. In 2015 I decided to move out of MediaWiki into markdown files in git, and in 2016 I began using mkdocs to publish these notes publicly to github pages.
Since 2016, these notes are rendered from markdown files and published to github-pages using mkdocs gh-deploy. If you have suggestions, please open a github issue. Please do not submit PRs.

APFS got some big bumps in macOS 12, including big snapshot improvements.

Copying a file by option-dragging it in Finder creates a clonefile. To create a clonefile on the CLI use cp -c src dst. Creating clonefiless of any size file is instantaneous because no file data is actually being copied. This differs from hard links because if you modify the clone, only the new blocks will be written to disk, and the source of the cloned file will not be modified.
Snapshots appear to be tied pretty directly to Time Machine, and do not appear to be general purpose. There appear to be many limitations in how they can be used, and what information you can get about them.
There was previously a tool called apfs_snapshot but it was removed before macOS 10.13 was released.
You cannot choose a name for your snapshot, it is tied to the date the snapshot was taken in the form of YYYY-MM-DD-HHMMSS, or date \"+%Y-%m-%d-%H%M%S\"
$ sudo tmutil localsnapshot\nNOTE: local snapshots are considered purgeable and may be removed at any time by deleted(8).\nCreated local snapshot with date: 2021-08-23-101843\n$ sudo tmutil listlocalsnapshots /\ncom.apple.TimeMachine.2017-11-01-161748\ncom.apple.TimeMachine.2017-11-02-100755\ncom.apple.TimeMachine.2017-11-03-084837\ncom.apple.TimeMachine.2017-11-04-182813\nThe easiest way to mount snapshots is to open Time Machine.app and browse backwards in time. This will mount your snapshots at /Volumes/com.apple.TimeMachine.localsnapshots/Backups.backupdb/$HOSTNAME/$SNAPSHOT_DATE/Data or a similar path.
If you just want to mount a single snapshot, fill in $snapshot_name using one of the lines from tmutil listlocalsnapshots /, then:
mkdir apfs_snap\nmount_apfs -o nobrowse,ro -s \"$snapshot_name\" /System/Volumes/data \"$PWD/apfs_snap\"\nOlder version of macOS have a slightly different syntax
mkdir apfs_snap\nsudo mount_apfs -s \"$snapshot_name\" / \"${PWD}/apfs_snap\"\nYou can only delete snapshots based off of their date.
$ sudo tmutil deletelocalsnapshots 2017-11-04-183813\nDeleted local snapshot '2017-11-04-183813'\n/usr/bin/tmutil listlocalsnapshots / |\ngrep -oE '2[0-9]{3}-[0-9]{2}-[0-9]{2}-[0-9]{6}'\nwhile read -r snap ; do\n tmutil deletelocalsnapshots \"${snap##*.}\"\ndone\nOn the given drive, reclaim the given space by thinning out snapshots. As of tmutil 4.0.0, you cannot use any data unit other than bytes. (EG: 1G or 1GB will not work)

You will see the directory listing being sent across the wire, but curl will report 0 bytes being downloaded. The true download size depends on what file is being downloaded and how big it is. For large binary files, I have observed this as being 0 bytes.
This is useful for testing production code on non-production multi-tennant name based virtual hosts.
curl -H 'Host: www.domain.com' http://example.com\ncurl -qI https://www.google.com/index.php 2>/dev/null | awk '/Length/ {print $2}'\ncurl -I http://www.example.com/some_huge_file.iso\ncurl --data \"user=foo&pass=bar\" http://example.com/login.php\nThis appears to have problems with some strings. For instance, this doesn't catch the full https://accounts.google.com string. The regex is correct according to http://regexpal.com, but egrep is apparently not handling it correctly.
curl -s http://www.google.com | egrep -o '(((https?|ftp|gopher)://|(mailto|file|news):)[^\u2019 <>\\n\"]+|(www|web|w3)\\.[-a-z0-9.]+)[^\u2019 .,;<>\":]'\nIf you don't have NTP you can use this to manually feed the current time into date -s to set your system clock to within a few seconds of accuracy.
curl -sIH 'Cache-Control: no-cache' example.org | grep '^Date'\nUsing GNU cut and date (IE: on linux, like on a Raspberry Pi image that does not have NTP properly set up) you can set your time using this command:
sudo date -s \"$(curl -sIH 'Cache-Control: no-cache' example.org | grep '^Date:' | cut -f 1 -d ' ' --complement)\"\n\"cut out selected portions of each line of a file\" - man cut
cut is 1-indexed
$ echo {0..9}\n0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9\n$ echo {0..9} | cut -c 1\n0\n$ echo -n {0..9} | cut -c 1-5\n0 1 2\n$ echo -n {0..9} | cut -c 1,19\n09\n$ echo -n {a..z} | sed 's/ //g' | cut -c 10-20\njklmnopqrst\nBy default, cut works with tab delimited fields, which is not really useful. You can specify a different field delimiter with -d
$ echo {a..z} | cut -d ' ' -f 3\nc\n$ echo {a..z} | cut -d ' ' -f 3-10\nc d e f g h i j\n$ echo 'a^b^c' | cut -d'^' -f 3\nc\nIt's not really intuitive though because every single space separates one field from the next, even if the field is null
$ echo 'a b c d' | cut -d ' ' -f 1-3\na b c\n$ echo 'a b c d' | cut -d ' ' -f 1-3\na b\nUsing -w allows all consecutive whitespace to be treated as one separator, which is usually the desired behavior, but then the output fields are separated by tabs.
$ echo 'a b c d' | cut -w -f 1-3\na b c\ncut is often used with [tr](tr.md)[awk](awk.md) is what I usually reach for instead of cut when working with words.\"Select, put and delete data from JSON, TOML, YAML, XML and CSV files with a single tool.

One simple advantage dcfldd has over dd is a progress counter displayed by default, although even with dd you can see progress by pressing ctrl-t. However, if all you need is a progress display, pv is really your best bet.
Another useful advantage dcfldd has is the ability to specify hex and ascii patterns, as well as the output of a command as the source. You may also specify multiple outputs.

"},{"location":"docker/#naming-inconsistencies","title":"Naming inconsistencies","text":"As of 2024, there are a bunch of frustrating naming inconsistencies with Docker and OCI images. The docker image tag documentation shows the \"image name\" as being broken down into the following components: [registry[:port]/][namespace/]repository[:tag]. Unfortunately this does not harmonize with what is used in various tools, including the official Docker tools.
For example, the docker command line shows the full \"image name\" minus the \"tag\" component if you ask it for the \"repository\":
$ docker images quay.io:443/prometheus/busybox:glibc --format=json | jq -r .Repository\nquay.io:443/prometheus/busybox\nAnd the docker python module shows the entire \"image name\" when you ask it for the \"tag\"
>>> client.images.get('quay.io:443/prometheus/busybox:glibc').tags\n['quay.io/prometheus/busybox:glibc']\nOther documents list other definitions. I think that the community needs to get this terminology straight in order for us to build consistent, resilient software. There are some discussions open about this topic, but it does not seem to be high priority:
In August 2021, Docker pulled a license bait and switch with Docker Desktop. If you want a Docker Desktop alternative on macOS that has a docker command but doesn't use Docker Desktop, you can do the following:
brew install hyperkit minikube docker kubernetes-cli\nminikube config set driver hyperkit\nminikube start\neval $(minikube docker-env)\nThis will give you docker commands that targets the minikube CRI, and is actually a great dev environment.
Alternatively, if you have a linux machine that runs docker handy, you can skip the minikube stuff and export DOCKER_HOST=ssh://linux-docker-host to launch containers on the linux dockerd. This has the caveats that you cannot mount local filesystems into the remote docker host, and if you want to use it for building your project directory will be sent over the network to the remote docker host.

Use echo exiftool to see what command is actually being called when testing. Keywords can also be stored in the subject tag, so we clean that too.

This technique is quite useful for use with a variety of tools. You could also change this logic to add tags instead of deleting them.
tags=(\n \"private tag 1\"\n \"another private tag\"\n \"some other tag that is private\"\n)\n\nargs=()\nfor tag in \"${tags[@]}\" ; do\n args+=( \"-subject-=$tag\" \"-keywords-=$tag\" )\ndone\n\nexiftool -overwrite_original \"${args[@]}\" -- \"$@\"\nWhen adding keywords, the default behavior allows duplicates. This case is covered in FAQ #17 and indicates that you must remove and re-add each keyword in one operation in order to prevent duplicates. A bash function to do that follows. Be careful to use it on only ONE FILE at a time, otherwise you will add filenames as keywords!
add_keyword_to_file(){\n local args=()\n [[ \"$#\" -ge 2 ]] || { echo \"ERROR: Must have at least 2 args: <keyword> [keyword]... <file>\" ; return 1 ;}\n while [[ \"$#\" -gt 1 ]] ; do\n args+=(\"-keywords-=${1}\" \"-keywords+=${1}\")\n shift\n done\n filename=$1\n exiftool \"${args[@]}\" -- \"${filename}\"\n}\nHere it is in action:
$ exiftool -p '$keywords $filename' -- 20211016-21-25-03_450QaA.jpg # show there are no keywords\nWarning: [Minor] Tag 'keywords' not defined - 20211016-21-25-03_450QaA.jpg\n\n$ add_keyword_to_file \"Sutro Heights\" \"San Francisco\" 20211016-21-25-03_450QaA.jpg # add keywords\n 1 image files updated\n\n$ exiftool -p '$keywords $filename' -- 20211016-21-25-03_450QaA.jpg # show that keywords were added\nSutro Heights, San Francisco 20211016-21-25-03_450QaA.jpg\n\n$ add_keyword_to_file \"Sutro Heights\" \"San Francisco\" 20211016-21-25-03_450QaA.jpg # re-add existing keywords\n 1 image files updated\n\n$ exiftool -p '$keywords $filename' -- 20211016-21-25-03_450QaA.jpg # show that duplicates were not added\nSutro Heights, San Francisco 20211016-21-25-03_450QaA.jpg\nIt even works to remove duplicates where they already exist, likely because the -= matches all instances of the keyword.
$ exiftool -keywords+=\"San Francisco\" -- 20211016-21-25-03_450QaA.jpg # add a duplicate\n 1 image files updated\n\n$ exiftool -p '$keywords $filename' -- 20211016-21-25-03_450QaA.jpg # show that there are duplicates\nSutro Heights, San Francisco, San Francisco 20211016-21-25-03_450QaA.jpg\n\n$ add_keyword_to_file \"Sutro Heights\" \"San Francisco\" 20211016-21-25-03_450QaA.jpg\n 1 image files updated\n\n$ exiftool -p '$keywords $filename' -- 20211016-21-25-03_450QaA.jpg # show that duplicates have been removed\nSutro Heights, San Francisco 20211016-21-25-03_450QaA.jpg\nTo add the same keywords to many files, loop through the files one at a time using something like:
for file in *.jpg ; do add_keyword_to_file \"Sutro Heights\" \"San Francisco\" \"${file}\" ; done ;\nUseful when you want to sort in your file browser by modification time and get a chronological order of files.
exiftool \"-FileModifyDate<DateTimeOriginal\" -- *.jpg\nThe -n flag here tells exiftool not to convert numbers into human readable formats. This is somewhat ironic in some circumstances, such as with location where using -n makes the GPS location show up as decimal, which IMHO is much more reaable.

These rsync commands can be pasted into a terminal to run. (Generating a list of files for use with rsync --files-from would be a better option for this specific use case, but this illustration could be adapted for commands that do not have such an option.)

This is useful when dealing with files from various sources that don't all use the same tag to store the original media creation time. By using TestName instead of FileName as the target, we observe what would occur, essentially a dry-run, instead of actually renaming the files.
There is a funky behavior of %-c when you operate on a file that should ideally not be renamed. Exiftool will toggle back and forth each run appending and removing -1.
This assumes GNU xargs for the -r flag.

EG: filename-1.jpg\nexiftool \"-FileName<CreateDate\" -d \"%Y%m%d-%H-%M-%S%%-c.%%le\" -- *.jpg\nUsing the name of the tag as output by exiftool -S, you can create complicated filenames by combining tags:
exiftool -d '%Y%m%d-%H-%M-%S' '-FileName<${CreateDate;}_${Headline;}%-c.%e'\nIf you use a semicolon inside of a tag that is used to generate a filename, it will have filename-invalid characters stripped. The invalid character list is: / \\ ? * : | \" < >. See the next section for more examples of semicolon behavior.
exiftool \\\n '-FileName<${Artist;} - ${Title;}.%e' \\\n '-FileName<${Artist;} - ${Album;} - ${Title;}.%e' \\\n -- \\\n *.mp3 *.m4a\nThe way I solved this prior to knowing the semicolon behavior was to use a regex replace, which is included here because it could be useful in other circumstances:
exiftool \\\n '-FileName<${Artist;s/\\//_/} - ${Title;s/\\//_/}.%e' \\\n '-FileName<${Artist;s/\\//_/} - ${Album;s/\\//_/} - ${Title;s/\\//_/}.%e' \\\n -- \\\n *.mp3 *.m4a\nUsing the above technique, it's not possible to create directories using date components as parts of the directory structure.
$ exiftool -d '%Y/%m/%d/%F-%H-%M-%S' '-TestName<${DateTimeOriginal;}.%le' -- example.jpg\n'example.jpg' --> '201803042018-03-04-00-01-29.jpg'\nNotice how all the directory delimiters were left out. To work around this, you can use a date format string with DafeFmt directly in the date tag instead of in -d:
$ exiftool '-TestName<${DateTimeOriginal;DateFmt(\"%Y/%m/%d/%F-%H-%M-%S\")}.%le' -- example.jpg\n'example.jpg' --> '2018/03/04/2018-03-04-00-01-29.jpg'\nMaking sure not use put a semicolon into the tags, as described in the last section, you can use more than one tag to rename a file, so long as you format your date string correctly.

ffmpeg -i DJI_20230929174507_0003_D.MP4 -map 0:2 -f data -c copy stream2.bin\nThis example is taken directly from https://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/ChangingFrameRate

You're better off generating your own movie from the still images it took. To do so, cd to the directory with the hyperlapse photos in it and run:
ffmpeg -framerate 30 -pattern_type glob -i \"HYPERLAPSE*.JPG\" -s:v 4032x3024 -c:v libx264 -crf 17 -pix_fmt yuv420p timelapse.mp4\nYou may need to adjust the 4032x3024 dimensions if you are not using the Mini 4 Pro.

One of those problems is if you have multiple keys loaded that have different authorizations on a remote git server like Github. For instance, say you have ~/.ssh/id_ed25519_home as your personal private key and ~/.ssh/id_ed225519_work as your private work key. If you try to clone a work repo and git tries to authenticate with your home identity first, it will be unauthorized and the clone will fail, even though you have a second identity loaded that could have succeeded. To work around this, do something like:
export GIT_SSH_COMMAND=\"ssh -o IdentitiesOnly=yes -i $HOME/.ssh/id_ed225519_work\"\ngit clone git@github.com:your-work-gh-org/super-secret-repo.git\nThis works fine for one key having authorization to all private repos. This becomes difficult when you have multiple repos, each with a key that only has authorization for that single repo, such as using deploy keys tied to a single repo. If you try that when doing something like yarn install, which is trying to clone multiple private repos, it will fail 100% of the time. In that case, you can follow the next example. You may have to read it twice, because setting up the configuration makes more sense if you do ssh then git, but logically it makes more sense if you go from git into ssh, which is how the process actually flows.
Construct an ssh_config file that configures a unique Host for each private repo you need to clone and private key file that has access to it:
Host secret_repo_1\n Hostname github.com\n IdentityFile ~/.ssh/private_key_for_repo_1\n\nHost secret_repo_2\n Hostname github.com\n IdentityFile ~/.ssh/private_key_for_repo_2\n\nIdentitiesOnly yes\nThe ssh_configs above allow ssh access to what is essentially a host alias where the key that is authorized for the repo is used when ssh tries to connect to the correlated Host entry. In the next step, we do the same thing in reverse by crafting a gitconfig file with one stanza for each of the ssh Host entries from your ssh_config, pointing it back to github:
[url \"git@secret_repo_1:your-work-gh-org/super-secret-repo-1.git\"]\n insteadOf = git@github.com:your-work-gh-org/super-secret-repo-1.git\n\n[url \"git@secret_repo_2:your-work-gh-org/super-secret-repo-2.git\"]\n insteadOf = git@github.com:your-work-gh-org/super-secret-repo-2.git\nWe then export two variables in the shell:
export GIT_SSH_COMMAND=\"ssh -F $PWD/your_crafted_ssh_config_file\"\nexport GIT_CONFIG_GLOBAL=\"$PWD/your_crafted_gitconfig_file\"\nWhat happens next is when you execute git clone git@github.com:your-work-gh-org/super-secret-repo-1.git, which is the originally source git URL, your git_config alters the URL to be git@secret_repo_1:your-work-gh-org/super-secret-repo-1.git. The server name is passed into ssh, which uses your custom ssh_config file to connect to github.com using the options for that entry that are specified in the git_config, which includes using the identity file that is unique to that git repository. The same series of steps happens for secret_repo_2. The result is that each of these git repositories can be cloned using their original github URL, but these custom ssh configs are used in the process, which allows the right authentication mechanisms to be used for each individual git repository. This all happens without us having to alter the source code of the repo we are building, EG: without modifying package.json which is used by yarn. Using these techniques, we can set up CI to build software from private repositories using deploy keys where otherwise we would be unable to due to ssh authentication errors that might work fine for somebody who has a single ssh key that is authorized to clone all of the repositories.

This is a destructive tool, so it should be performed on a fresh clone of the repo while you iterate on finding the right sequence of operations to perform to get to your desired state. The destructive nature is that it rewrites the entire history of the repo, so if your repo depends on specific SHAs or any other specific history, you probably need to take a harder look at how to solve your problem.
This is great if you want to extract part of a repo for public release, or just for organizational purposes.

The home directory is kept for like 6 months or something, so configuring your shell and storing useful scripts isn't a bad idea.
gcloud cloud-shell ssh --authorize-session\nFirst, make sure your cloud-shell is started by logging into it via gcloud cloud-shell ssh --authorize-session --command=uptime
Generate an ssh_config entry for your cloudshell:
gcloud cloud-shell ssh --authorize-session --dry-run |\nwhile read -r _ _ _ port _ _ _ _ creds _ ; do\n printf \"Host cloud-shell\\n User %s\\n Port %s\\n Hostname %s\\n\" ${creds/@*/} $port ${creds/*@/}\ndone\nThis will print something like:
Host cloud-shell\n User dade_murphy\n Port 53000\n Hostname 5.4.3.1\nYou'll have to put this into your ssh_config somehow. I recommend using Include statement in ~/.ssh/config and having the above command redirect to a file with only that content so it can be updated in-place. Then use vscode like you usually do with remote ssh, or by running
code --folder-uri \\\nvscode-remote://ssh-remote+cloud-shell/home/dade_murphy/git_workspace/garbage_file_recovery_work\ngcloud projects list\ngcloud config set project \"$project_name\"\ngsutil iam ch 'user:user@example.com:objectViewer' 'gs://artifacts.example.appspot.com/'\ngcloud compute zones list

Sometimes autoscalers have a hard time scaling down, requiring manual termination of idle nodes. The following commands are equivalent:
gcloud compute instances delete \"projects/$project_name/zones/$zone/instances/$node_name\"\ngcloud compute instances delete --project \"$project_name\" --zone=\"$zone\" \"$node_name\"\nTo connect to VMs that don't have a public ip address, you need to give --tunnel-through-iap on the CLI and also have IAP-secured Tunnel User permission.

This adds the cluster to your .kube/config with authentication done via an access token.
CLUSTER_NAME='foo-dev'\nPROJECT_NAME='some-project'\nREGION='us-west42'\ngcloud container clusters get-credentials \"${CLUSTER_NAME}\" \\\n --region \"${REGION}\" \\\n --project \"${PROJECT_NAME}\"\nThis keeps each config in a different file, which is useful for requiring explicit enabling of a given environment, vs the normal behavior of inheriting the last used context.

You can control who has access to your Container Registry images by adjusting permissions for the Cloud Storage bucket.
Caution: Container Registry only recognizes permissions set on the Cloud Storage bucket. Container Registry will ignore permissions set on individual objects within the Cloud Storage bucket.
You manage access control in Cloud Storage by using the GCP Console or the gsutil command-line tool. Refer to the gsutil acl and gsutil defacl documentation for more information.\" - https://cloud.google.com/container-registry/docs/access-control

By default, GCP bucket items have 1 hour of public cache, which means items can be cached outside of the control of the GCP admin. This means that within that cache time window, any requests for the item will have unpredictable results. Set your Cache-Control max-age to something low for files that change, like page content and indexes, but long for files that never change, like images and archives.

helm get values -o yaml \"$release_name\" > values.yaml\nTo get a list of all values, use
helm get values --all -o yaml \"$release_name\" > values.yaml`\nNotes are printed when you install a service, but they can be viewed again by running helm status <release_name> where <release_name> is one of the releases from helm list.

helm repo add incubator https://charts.helm.sh/incubator\nYou can find the revision in a few places, like helm list -A. Default is to store data about the last 10 releases per release_name.
helm history -n \"$NS\" \"$RELEASE_NAME\" -o json | jq '.[] | select(.revision == 157)'\nFirst, find the secret that you will want to search. You can get the release number from helm history -n \"$NS\" foo or dig in kubectl -n $NS get secret
$ k -n \"$NS\" get secret | grep sh.helm.release | tail -n 3 | column -t\nsh.helm.release.v1.foo.v338 helm.sh/release.v1 1 14d\nsh.helm.release.v1.foo.v339 helm.sh/release.v1 1 13d\nsh.helm.release.v1.foo.v340 helm.sh/release.v1 1 4d23h\nThen send that secret into the following command to get the full manifest that was sent to the k8s api:
k -n \"$NS\" get secret \"$SECRET\" -o go-template='{{ .data.release | base64decode | base64decode }}' |\n gzip -d\nThe result is a json blob with all the details of how the helm chart was applied, including hook manifests, app manifests, and other metadata.
"},{"location":"helm/#splay-cron-jobs","title":"Splay cron jobs","text":"Splaying cron jobs avoids the thundering herd problem by spreading the jobs out over time with deterministic randomness.
The functions available when using Helm templates are not as plentiful and general purpose like you would expect in a normal programming language, so we have to get creative for some things. One thing that would be great is if Helm provided a deterministic random feature. It does have randomness, but there is no way to seed the random number generator. To work around this, we can use other functions that do take inputs in order to generate deterministic random-ish numbers. One such example is using adler32sum, which returns a base-10 hash value of an input.
The following example splays a cron job that runs every 15 minutes from 3-12 inclusive, which should avoid high-demand minutes at the beginning of 0/15, and still give a few minutes for work to complete before coming back around to the next 0/15 interval.
'{{- add 3 (regexFind \".$\" (adler32sum .Release.Name)) -}}-59/15 * * * *'\nThis bit of code aler32sums the .Release.Name value, which is expected to be unique for every deployment but may not be in your environment, takes only the right-most digit, which is 0-9, and adds 3 to it, then uses that number as the starting minute in the cron schedule, EG: 7-59/* * * * *.
Here is a python script that shows what minute number would be generated for 235,976 inputs:
#!/usr/bin/env python3\n\nfrom zlib import adler32\nfrom pathlib import Path\n\n_input = Path(\"/usr/share/dict/words\").read_text().split()\noutput = {x + 3: 0 for x in range(10)}\n\nfor item in _input:\n cksum = adler32(str.encode(item))\n splay_minute = int(str(cksum)[-1]) + 3\n output[splay_minute] += 1\n\nfor k, v in output.items():\n print(f\"{k:2d}: {v}\")\nAnd the output shows a pretty even splay across all minutes, with each minute containing roughly 1/10th of the input lines:
$ ./test-adler32sum.py\n 3: 23483\n 4: 23523\n 5: 23699\n 6: 23628\n 7: 23464\n 8: 23750\n 9: 23435\n10: 23833\n11: 23605\n12: 23556\nSurely there is more rigorous statistical analysis needed to better understand exactly how the inputs are being spread, but if you care that much about it, you are probably better off submitting a pr with your desired behavior to https://github.com/Masterminds/sprig, which is where the helm template functions come from.

"},{"location":"jmespath/#links","title":"Links","text":"Something that is completely absent from the jmespath tutorial is that quotes matter. You must quote value strings with single quotes or back-ticks, which means you have to quote the python function args with double quotes, use back-ticks, or escape your single quotes:
>>> print(l)\n[{\"name\": \"foo-name\", \"age\": \"foo-age\"}, {\"name\": \"bar-name\", \"age\": \"bar-age\"}]\n>>> print(yaml.dump(l))\n- age: foo-age\n name: foo-name\n- age: bar-age\n name: bar-name\n\n>>> jmespath.search(\"[?name == 'bar-name']\", l)\n[{'name': 'bar-name', 'age': 'bar-age'}]\n>>> jmespath.search('[?name == \"bar-name\"]', l)\n[]\n>>> jmespath.search('[?name == \\'bar-name\\']', l)\n[{'name': 'bar-name', 'age': 'bar-age'}]\n>>> jmespath.search(\"[?name == `bar-name`]\", l)\n[{'name': 'bar-name', 'the.age': 'bar-the.age'}]\nHowever, in jmespath you also must double-quote keys (variable names) that contain dots. (Double-quotes are optional for keys that do not contain dots.) This becomes a bit burdensome to keep track of, and also failure-prone:
>>> l = [{\"name\": \"foo-name\", \"the.age\": \"foo-the.age\"}, {\"name\": \"bar-name\", \"the.age\": \"bar-the.age\"}]\n>>> l[1]['the.age']\n'bar-the.age'\n>>> jmespath.search(\"[?'the.age' == 'bar-the.age']\", l)\n[]\n>>> jmespath.search('[?\"the.age\" == \"bar-the.age\"]', l)\n[]\n>>> jmespath.search('[?\"the.age\" == \\'bar-the.age\\']', l)\n[{'name': 'bar-name', 'the.age': 'bar-the.age'}]\n>>> jmespath.search('[?\"the.age\" == `bar-the.age`]', l)\n[{'name': 'bar-name', 'the.age': 'bar-the.age'}]\n>>> jmespath.search(\"[?\\\"the.age\\\" == 'bar-the.age']\", l)\n[{'name': 'bar-name', 'the.age': 'bar-the.age'}]\nTriple quotes can help here by avoiding the need to escape both single-quotes and double-quotes:
>>> jmespath.search(\"\"\"[?'the.age' == 'bar-the.age']\"\"\", l)\n[]\n>>> jmespath.search(\"\"\"[?\"the.age\" == \"bar-the.age\"]\"\"\", l)\n[]\n>>> jmespath.search(\"\"\"[?\"the.age\" == 'bar-the.age']\"\"\", l)\n[{'name': 'bar-name', 'the.age': 'bar-the.age'}]\n>>> jmespath.search(\"\"\"[?\"the.age\" == `bar-the.age`]\"\"\", l)\n[{'name': 'bar-name', 'the.age': 'bar-the.age'}]\nThe TL;DR is to only double-quote variable names, and single-quote or back-tick-quote anything that is a string literal. This requirement is inconsistent with normal python comparisons. The behavior is strict and unintuitive to people unfamiliar with jmespath. The fact that the failures are silent is quite problematic and leads to low confidence that jmespath is behaving as expected. jmespath would do well to have a linter to warn about this behavior, and at least mention the different types of quotes and their behaviors in the tutorial. (FWIW, these details are buried in the jmespath spec, including the nuanced differences between single-quotes and back-ticks.)

join is a unix tool that is similar to a sql join, combining two files by joining on a column. The macOS man page has more example than the GNU man page, but as usual the syntaxes aren't exactly the same.
The following example use the following dates.txt file as file 1. Notice it is missing data between December 25 and December 31 (inclusive).
2022-12-21 9\n2022-12-22 2\n2022-12-23 1\n2022-12-24 5\n2023-01-01 6\n2023-01-02 6\n2023-01-03 2\nWe also use a loop that produces dates that contain the dates missing from dates.txt but do not go back as far in time:

$ join -o 1.2,2.2 dates.txt <(for OFFSET in {10..0} ; do gdate -d \"-$OFFSET days\" \"+%F offset=$OFFSET\" ; done)\n5 offset=10\n6 offset=2\n6 offset=1\n2 offset=0\nWe use -e Null to indicate we want to fill in missing values with Null. In order for -e to work right, e have to specify the output columns with -o. We also have to specify -a 2 to indicate we want to see all lines from file 2. Because we are showing all lines in file 2, we use -o 2.1 instead of -o 1.1 so that the date column is not populated with Null values.

In the following example we store .metadata.namespace as $namespace and .metadata.name as $podname before digging into .status where we would no longer have access to .metadata:
kubectl get pod -A -l k8s-app=kube-dns -o=json |\njq -r '\n .items[] |\n .metadata.namespace as $namespace |\n .metadata.name as $podname |\n .status.containerStatuses[] |\n \"\\($namespace) \\($podname) \\(.name) \\(.restartCount)\"\n' |\ncolumn -t\nThe output of this command is something like:

To avoid confusing syntaxes, use jq to create a temp file, then reference that file in curl:
JSON_DATA=$(mktemp)\njq -n '{service_account: env.SERVICE_ACCOUNT_ID, secret_key: env.SERVICE_ACCOUNT_KEY}' > \"$JSON_DATA\"\nThe above commands create a temporary file with the correct and valid JSON:
$ cat \"$JSON_DATA\"\n{\n \"service_account\": \"whoever@serviceaccount.example.com\",\n \"secret_key\": \"abc123\"\n}\nThen reference that in curl:
$ curl -s --request POST --header \"content-type: application/json\" --data \"@${JSON_DATA}\" https://httpbin.org/anything\n{\n \"args\": {},\n \"data\": \"{ \\\"service_account\\\": \\\"whoever@serviceaccount.example.com\\\", \\\"secret_key\\\": \\\"abc123\\\"}\",\n \"files\": {},\n \"form\": {},\n \"headers\": {\n \"Accept\": \"*/*\",\n \"Content-Length\": \"84\",\n...\ncurl -fssL https://storage.googleapis.com/updates.astronomer.io/astronomer-certified |\njq '.available_releases | sort_by(.release_date)[-1]'\n\"JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) is a lightweight data-interchange format.\" - https://www.json.org/

Here's one way to do this:
kubectl get pods -A |\nawk '$4 == \"Terminating\" {print $1,$2}' |\nwhile read -r NS POD ; do\n kubectl get pod \"$POD\" -n \"$NS\" -o custom-columns=NAMESPACE:.metadata.namespace,NAME:.metadata.name,TERMINATION_GRACE_PERIOD:.spec.terminationGracePeriodSeconds\ndone |\ncolumn -t |\nsort -u\nAnd the output will be something like:

For instance, to get a list of containers inside the prometheus sts pods
kubectl get sts -l component=prometheus -n \"$NS\" -o json |\n jq -r '.items[] | .kind as $kind | .metadata.name as $name | .spec.template.spec.containers[] | \"\\($kind)/\\($name) \\(.name)\"' |\n column -t\nWhich produces the output:
StatefulSet/demo-prometheus configmap-reloader\nStatefulSet/demo-prometheus prometheus\nThis can then be fed into anything needing such syntax, for example kubectl exec to check the runtime env of these containers:
$ kubectl get sts -l component=prometheus -n $NS -o json |\n jq -r '.items[] | .kind as $kind | .metadata.name as $name | .spec.template.spec.containers[] | \"\\($kind)/\\($name) \\(.name)\"' |\n while read -r p c ; do echo \"$p $c $(kubectl -n $NS exec $p -c $c -- env | grep '^HOSTNAME=')\" ; done ;\nStatefulSet/demo-prometheus configmap-reloader HOSTNAME=demo-prometheus-1\nStatefulSet/demo-prometheus prometheus HOSTNAME=demo-prometheus-1\nThat's obviously a contrived example, but the real learning here is that it is possible to iterate deep json data while referencing values form higher levels by storing that higher level as variables.

If you are using /etc/fstab for your nfs mounts, you may run into a race condition where the network target comes online and allows NFS mounts to continue, but DHCP has not yet completed. This causes the NFS mounts to fail.
To fix this race condition, enable systemd-networkd-wait-online.service
sudo systemctl enable systemd-networkd-wait-online.service\nThen edit your /etc/fstab entry to rely on that target.
192.168.0.99:/share/media /mnt/shared-media nfs x-systemd.requires=network-online.target, ... the_rest_of_the_options\nThis solution so far works, but has the negative side effect of making boot take longer due to waiting for dhclient requests to time out before continuing. On Debian 12, this adds 2 minutes to the total boot time shown by systemd-analyze plot > boot-$(date +%F).svg.
If you know the exact interface your mount points rely on, then you can tailor the wait-online.service to only wait for that one interface:
sudo systemctl edit systemd-networkd-wait-online.service\nThen add the following section to the correct location as directed by the comments in the editor window:
[Service]\nExecStart=\nExecStart=/lib/systemd/systemd-networkd-wait-online --ipv4 --interface=your_interface_name\nThe reason there is an empty ExecStart= is that this is how systemd is instructed to empty out the previous assignments instead of appending to them. This works with other option too. More info here: https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemd.service.html
If you have a mount point within an NFS share, you must have a separate entry in your exports file that sets the permissions of this mount point. Currently OS X has a problem with this, but officially this is the way to do it.

The suggested workflow for puppet is to use r10k on a control repo to manage the modules on your puppetmaster and the environments it provides. The general idea is that each module is represented by a puppetforge module name or a git repo listed inside of the ambiguously named Puppetfile. When r10k puppetfile install -v is run, all modules listed in this file are installed according to their definitions, and all modules that are not in this file are purged. Also, r10k will set up environments based on the git branches of the control repo. This workflow is described in detail at Managing and deploying Puppet code. It assumes you are not using a puppet apply type setup, which makes this difficult to follow for people who are playing with this at home in a non-puppetmaster scenario, such as in vagrant or on raspberry pi's.

The best way to manage the requirements.txt file is by using the pip-tools command pip-compile, which builds a requirements.in file into a requirements.txt.
In your requirements.txt you define only your direct dependencies:
pendulum\ntyper\nThen you run pip-compile --upgrade requirements.in, which would create a requirements.txt file like:
#\n# This file is autogenerated by pip-compile with Python 3.10\n# by the following command:\n#\n# pip-compile requirements.in\n#\nclick==8.1.3\n # via typer\npendulum==2.1.2\n # via -r requirements.in\npython-dateutil==2.8.2\n # via pendulum\npytzdata==2020.1\n # via pendulum\nsix==1.16.0\n # via python-dateutil\ntyper==0.7.0\n # via -r requirements.in\nYou can also specify --generate-hashes to get a more reliable lockfile style result.
This can be used to update a requirements.txt file to the exact installed version.

salt: Salt allows for commands to be executed across a swath of remote systems in parallel. This means that remote systems can be both controlled and queried with ease.salt-call: The salt-call command is used to run module functions locally on a minion instead of executing them from the master. Salt-call is used to run a Standalone Minion, and was originally created for troubleshooting.salt-cloud: Salt Cloud is the system used to provision virtual machines on various public clouds via a cleanly controlled profile and mapping system.salt-cp: Salt copy copies a local file out to all of the Salt minions matched by the given target.salt-key: Salt-key executes simple management of Salt server public keys used for authentication.salt-minion: The Salt minion daemon, receives commands from a remote Salt master.salt-run: salt-run is the frontend command for executing Salt Runners. Salt runners are simple modules used to execute convenience functions on the master.salt-ssh: Salt SSH allows for salt routines to be executed using only SSH for transport.These are desired state files, not the view of the current state. These are where you describe how you want the system to be

In order to host ISOs for use with iKVM, it's useful to run Samba in Docker so it is isolated and only running while you are using it.
This example uses the docker image dperson/samba to start a Samba server sharing one passwordless /public share which mounts $HOME/isos from outside the container.

## Create the database\nsqlite3 images.db \"create table images (filename varchar(255), createdate timestamp, unique(filename))\"\n## Populate the database.

First, ingest all the exif data from your photos into a sqlite db. We specify only the fields we need from exiftool, and output the data as a json blob, then use jq to reformat the json as one record per line, then send that into sqlite-utils. The sqlite-utils --nl option tells it to expect one record per line, --pk SourceFile specifies that field (which is always present in exiftool json output) as the primary key to ensure uniqueness, --replace will update any rows where the primary key already exists (so we can re-run this on an existing database). If we were not specifying exiftool fields, we would need an --alter flag here to tell sqlite-utils to add columns to the table for exif fields that did not exist in any previously imported photos.
SOURCE_DIR=/some/absolute/path/with/photos\nfind \"${SOURCE_DIR}\" -type f -iname '*.jpg' -print0 -or -iname '*.dng' -print0 |\nxargs -0 exiftool -SerialNumber -ImageNumber -FileType -json |\njq -c '.[]' |\nsqlite-utils insert --nl --pk SourceFile --replace ~/photos.db photos -\nNow do a sql select for all JPG files that finds the duplicates. The idea here is to find distinct shots from a specific camera body which are identified by concatenating the SerialNumber and the ImageNumber together, and only select rows with FileType = JPEG where that same shot also has a FileType = DNG entry. This avoids deletion of JPG files where there is no DNG for the same shot.
This example does echo rm just for the example. Remove echo to actually do the deletion. This example also shows how to interpolate fields in sqlite3 by using || to concatenate fields and strings to produce a single string that is used to compare with, or output as a result.
sqlite3 ~/photos.db \"\nselect SourceFile from photos\nwhere FileType = 'JPEG'\nand SerialNumber || ImageNumber in (\n select SerialNumber || ImageNumber from photos where FileType = 'DNG'\n) ;\n\" |\nxargs -r echo rm -fv\n\"The VACUUM command rebuilds the database file, repacking it into a minimal amount of disk space.\" - https://www.sqlite.org/lang_vacuum.html

\"sysctl - configure kernel parameters at runtime\" - man sysctl
/etc/sysctl.conf is for storing permanent changes, sysctl is used for making changes to the running system.
Because sysctl is a kernel level feature, its values are shared between all containers running on a given node. This means that if you have containers in kubernetes that modify sysctl, this alters the behavior of every other container in every pod running on that same node. It also means that if you do such things, you cannot rely on those values being consistent because they are not managed in a central place, but instead are being modified by pods that are scheduled on the node. Because of this, it's a good idea to try to avoid this if at all possible, and if you need to tweak sysctl for pods, try to account for that in your pod affinities.

In the script, stderr always comes second, but in all but one of these iterations, stderr was handled before stdout. This is not a problem of vector, this is a fundamental posix problem due to stderr and stdout having separate streams. However, vector seems to have a method for handling this when a timestamp shows up in the stream. If I replace echo with date \"+%FT%T%z.%N foo\" in both streams, they are consistently in-order. Of course, another way to handle this is to output logs as structured data with the timestamp right from the source, but you will not always have control over the source log format.
Another aspect of this setup is you can use vector as a type of init system, because you can set sources.exec.streaming.respawn_on_exit = true which will re-launch the process if it dies for some reason.
https://vector.dev/guides/level-up/vector-tap-guide/
Vector has a feature called tap that lets you hook into an running instance and see what is coming through. You can enable this in your vector config via:
# Filename: vector.toml\n[api]\nenabled = true\nThen simply
vector tap\nThis shows pre-transform inputs, and outputs, which is useful when you are not seeing the output you expect because you can see the before and after right next to each other. There are also some further arguments you can pass to vector tap that let you filter so you can see specific inputs or outputs. See vector tap --help for those syntaxes.
https://vector.dev/docs/reference/vrl/
Vector has a repl feature that can be use for developing configs and debugging. Launch it with vector vrl. Once inside, type help to get guidance on how to proceed.

This is useful if you created your zpool using /dev/sdN when you should have used /dev/disk/by-id/, which is deterministic. The -d option lets you specify a directory to look within for the given pool's devices.
zpool import -d /dev/disk/by-id/ \"$ZPOOL_NAME\"\nYou may find that your pool was imported using links from this path that are not desirable, because there are several options available. For instance, you may find that your pool was imported using wwn links (EG: wwn-0x5000cca22eca1056) that are not very user friendly compared to a link that shows the model and serial number (EG: scsi-SATA_HGST_HMS5C4141BM_PM1302LAGR5A0F). Because these links are managed by udev and are created when the disk is seen by the system, either at boot or at insertion, and because nothing else should be referencing these symlinks, they are safe to delete. Export your pool, then delete unwanted symlinks for the devices related to your pool, leaving only the symlinks you want to use, then run zpool import -d once again.

These are notes I've taken on technologies that I have used or would like to use.
These notes started out some time before 2005 in VoodooPad 2. In December 2005 I discovered that you could self-host MediaWiki, so I moved my content into a private MediaWiki installation. Both VoodooPad and self-hosted MediaWiki worked fine for me, but as my notes became more useful and I wanted to show different sections to people in a way that let them discover useful content, the private nature of my self-hosted MediaWiki installation became problematic. MediaWiki also had the problem of being hosted by a web service, which meant it was not possible to access or edit content when my laptop was offline. I solved this for a while by running MediaWiki in a VM on my laptop, but that meant I couldn't access notes from other computers if my laptop was offline, and it meant I had a VM running at all time just to serve notes, which wasted a lot of resources. In 2015 I decided to move out of MediaWiki into markdown files in git, and in 2016 I began using mkdocs to publish these notes publicly to github pages.
Since 2016, these notes are rendered from markdown files and published to github-pages using mkdocs gh-deploy. If you have suggestions, please open a github issue. Please do not submit PRs.

Copying a file by option-dragging it in Finder creates a clonefile. To create a clonefile on the CLI use cp -c src dst. Creating clonefiless of any size file is instantaneous because no file data is actually being copied. This differs from hard links because if you modify the clone, only the new blocks will be written to disk, and the source of the cloned file will not be modified.
Snapshots appear to be tied pretty directly to Time Machine, and do not appear to be general purpose. There appear to be many limitations in how they can be used, and what information you can get about them.
There was previously a tool called apfs_snapshot but it was removed before macOS 10.13 was released.
You cannot choose a name for your snapshot, it is tied to the date the snapshot was taken in the form of YYYY-MM-DD-HHMMSS, or date \"+%Y-%m-%d-%H%M%S\"
$ sudo tmutil localsnapshot\nNOTE: local snapshots are considered purgeable and may be removed at any time by deleted(8).\nCreated local snapshot with date: 2021-08-23-101843\n$ sudo tmutil listlocalsnapshots /\ncom.apple.TimeMachine.2017-11-01-161748\ncom.apple.TimeMachine.2017-11-02-100755\ncom.apple.TimeMachine.2017-11-03-084837\ncom.apple.TimeMachine.2017-11-04-182813\nThe easiest way to mount snapshots is to open Time Machine.app and browse backwards in time. This will mount your snapshots at /Volumes/com.apple.TimeMachine.localsnapshots/Backups.backupdb/$HOSTNAME/$SNAPSHOT_DATE/Data or a similar path.
If you just want to mount a single snapshot, fill in $snapshot_name using one of the lines from tmutil listlocalsnapshots /, then:
mkdir apfs_snap\nmount_apfs -o nobrowse,ro -s \"$snapshot_name\" /System/Volumes/data \"$PWD/apfs_snap\"\nOlder version of macOS have a slightly different syntax
mkdir apfs_snap\nsudo mount_apfs -s \"$snapshot_name\" / \"${PWD}/apfs_snap\"\nYou can only delete snapshots based off of their date.
$ sudo tmutil deletelocalsnapshots 2017-11-04-183813\nDeleted local snapshot '2017-11-04-183813'\n/usr/bin/tmutil listlocalsnapshots / |\ngrep -oE '2[0-9]{3}-[0-9]{2}-[0-9]{2}-[0-9]{6}'\nwhile read -r snap ; do\n tmutil deletelocalsnapshots \"${snap##*.}\"\ndone\nOn the given drive, reclaim the given space by thinning out snapshots.

This is useful for efficiently checking the existence of a URI that would be a large download.
curl --head -s -w \"%{http_code}\\n\" -o /dev/null http://www.example.com/\nNot all HTTP servers support the HEAD method though, so a slightly worse alternative is:
curl --max-filesize 1 -s -w \"%{http_code}\\n\" -o /dev/null http://www.example.com/\n--max-filesize 1 will download something more than 0 bytes, though usually not the whole file. Notable is that curl does not seem to tell the truth about how many bytes were actually downloaded when using --max-filesize 1 -w '%{size_download}'. This can be verified by opening a simple http server (eg: python3 -m http.server), then running tcpflow -c, and then requesting the root dir of your simple http server. You will see the directory listing being sent across the wire, but curl will report 0 bytes being downloaded. The true download size depends on what file is being downloaded and how big it is. For large binary files, I have observed this as being 0 bytes.
This is useful for testing production code on non-production multi-tennant name based virtual hosts.

curl -sIH 'Cache-Control: no-cache' example.org | grep '^Date'\nUsing GNU cut and date (IE: on linux, like on a Raspberry Pi image that does not have NTP properly set up) you can set your time using this command:
sudo date -s \"$(curl -sIH 'Cache-Control: no-cache' example.org | grep '^Date:' | cut -f 1 -d ' ' --complement)\"\n\"cut out selected portions of each line of a file\" - man cut
cut is 1-indexed
$ echo {0..9}\n0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9\n$ echo {0..9} | cut -c 1\n0\n$ echo -n {0..9} | cut -c 1-5\n0 1 2\n$ echo -n {0..9} | cut -c 1,19\n09\n$ echo -n {a..z} | sed 's/ //g' | cut -c 10-20\njklmnopqrst\nBy default, cut works with tab delimited fields, which is not really useful. You can specify a different field delimiter with -d
$ echo {a..z} | cut -d ' ' -f 3\nc\n$ echo {a..z} | cut -d ' ' -f 3-10\nc d e f g h i j\n$ echo 'a^b^c' | cut -d'^' -f 3\nc\nIt's not really intuitive though because every single space separates one field from the next, even if the field is null
$ echo 'a b c d' | cut -d ' ' -f 1-3\na b c\n$ echo 'a b c d' | cut -d ' ' -f 1-3\na b\nUsing -w allows all consecutive whitespace to be treated as one separator, which is usually the desired behavior, but then the output fields are separated by tabs.
$ echo 'a b c d' | cut -w -f 1-3\na b c\ncut is often used with [tr](tr.md)[awk](awk.md) is what I usually reach for instead of cut when working with words.\"Select, put and delete data from JSON, TOML, YAML, XML and CSV files with a single tool.

One simple advantage dcfldd has over dd is a progress counter displayed by default, although even with dd you can see progress by pressing ctrl-t. However, if all you need is a progress display, pv is really your best bet.
Another useful advantage dcfldd has is the ability to specify hex and ascii patterns, as well as the output of a command as the source. You may also specify multiple outputs.

"},{"location":"docker/#naming-inconsistencies","title":"Naming inconsistencies","text":"As of 2024, there are a bunch of frustrating naming inconsistencies with Docker and OCI images. The docker image tag documentation shows the \"image name\" as being broken down into the following components: [registry[:port]/][namespace/]repository[:tag]. Unfortunately this does not harmonize with what is used in various tools, including the official Docker tools.
For example, the docker command line shows the full \"image name\" minus the \"tag\" component if you ask it for the \"repository\":
$ docker images quay.io:443/prometheus/busybox:glibc --format=json | jq -r .Repository\nquay.io:443/prometheus/busybox\nAnd the docker python module shows the entire \"image name\" when you ask it for the \"tag\"
>>> client.images.get('quay.io:443/prometheus/busybox:glibc').tags\n['quay.io/prometheus/busybox:glibc']\nOther documents list other definitions. I think that the community needs to get this terminology straight in order for us to build consistent, resilient software. There are some discussions open about this topic, but it does not seem to be high priority:
In August 2021, Docker pulled a license bait and switch with Docker Desktop. If you want a Docker Desktop alternative on macOS that has a docker command but doesn't use Docker Desktop, you can do the following:
brew install hyperkit minikube docker kubernetes-cli\nminikube config set driver hyperkit\nminikube start\neval $(minikube docker-env)\nThis will give you docker commands that targets the minikube CRI, and is actually a great dev environment.
Alternatively, if you have a linux machine that runs docker handy, you can skip the minikube stuff and export DOCKER_HOST=ssh://linux-docker-host to launch containers on the linux dockerd. This has the caveats that you cannot mount local filesystems into the remote docker host, and if you want to use it for building your project directory will be sent over the network to the remote docker host.

tags=(\n \"private tag 1\"\n \"another private tag\"\n \"some other tag that is private\"\n)\n\nargs=()\nfor tag in \"${tags[@]}\" ; do\n args+=( \"-subject-=$tag\" \"-keywords-=$tag\" )\ndone\n\nexiftool -overwrite_original \"${args[@]}\" -- \"$@\"\nWhen adding keywords, the default behavior allows duplicates. This case is covered in FAQ #17 and indicates that you must remove and re-add each keyword in one operation in order to prevent duplicates. A bash function to do that follows. Be careful to use it on only ONE FILE at a time, otherwise you will add filenames as keywords!
add_keyword_to_file(){\n local args=()\n [[ \"$#\" -ge 2 ]] || { echo \"ERROR: Must have at least 2 args: <keyword> [keyword]... <file>\" ; return 1 ;}\n while [[ \"$#\" -gt 1 ]] ; do\n args+=(\"-keywords-=${1}\" \"-keywords+=${1}\")\n shift\n done\n filename=$1\n exiftool \"${args[@]}\" -- \"${filename}\"\n}\nHere it is in action:
$ exiftool -p '$keywords $filename' -- 20211016-21-25-03_450QaA.jpg # show there are no keywords\nWarning: [Minor] Tag 'keywords' not defined - 20211016-21-25-03_450QaA.jpg\n\n$ add_keyword_to_file \"Sutro Heights\" \"San Francisco\" 20211016-21-25-03_450QaA.jpg # add keywords\n 1 image files updated\n\n$ exiftool -p '$keywords $filename' -- 20211016-21-25-03_450QaA.jpg # show that keywords were added\nSutro Heights, San Francisco 20211016-21-25-03_450QaA.jpg\n\n$ add_keyword_to_file \"Sutro Heights\" \"San Francisco\" 20211016-21-25-03_450QaA.jpg # re-add existing keywords\n 1 image files updated\n\n$ exiftool -p '$keywords $filename' -- 20211016-21-25-03_450QaA.jpg # show that duplicates were not added\nSutro Heights, San Francisco 20211016-21-25-03_450QaA.jpg\nIt even works to remove duplicates where they already exist, likely because the -= matches all instances of the keyword.
$ exiftool -keywords+=\"San Francisco\" -- 20211016-21-25-03_450QaA.jpg # add a duplicate\n 1 image files updated\n\n$ exiftool -p '$keywords $filename' -- 20211016-21-25-03_450QaA.jpg # show that there are duplicates\nSutro Heights, San Francisco, San Francisco 20211016-21-25-03_450QaA.jpg\n\n$ add_keyword_to_file \"Sutro Heights\" \"San Francisco\" 20211016-21-25-03_450QaA.jpg\n 1 image files updated\n\n$ exiftool -p '$keywords $filename' -- 20211016-21-25-03_450QaA.jpg # show that duplicates have been removed\nSutro Heights, San Francisco 20211016-21-25-03_450QaA.jpg\nTo add the same keywords to many files, loop through the files one at a time using something like:
for file in *.jpg ; do add_keyword_to_file \"Sutro Heights\" \"San Francisco\" \"${file}\" ; done ;\nUseful when you want to sort in your file browser by modification time and get a chronological order of files.
exiftool \"-FileModifyDate<DateTimeOriginal\" -- *.jpg\nThe -n flag here tells exiftool not to convert numbers into human readable formats. This is somewhat ironic in some circumstances, such as with location where using -n makes the GPS location show up as decimal, which IMHO is much more reaable.

This is useful when dealing with files from various sources that don't all use the same tag to store the original media creation time. By using TestName instead of FileName as the target, we observe what would occur, essentially a dry-run, instead of actually renaming the files.
There is a funky behavior of %-c when you operate on a file that should ideally not be renamed. Exiftool will toggle back and forth each run appending and removing -1.
This assumes GNU xargs for the -r flag.

EG: filename-1.jpg\nexiftool \"-FileName<CreateDate\" -d \"%Y%m%d-%H-%M-%S%%-c.%%le\" -- *.jpg\nUsing the name of the tag as output by exiftool -S, you can create complicated filenames by combining tags:
exiftool -d '%Y%m%d-%H-%M-%S' '-FileName<${CreateDate;}_${Headline;}%-c.%e'\nIf you use a semicolon inside of a tag that is used to generate a filename, it will have filename-invalid characters stripped. The invalid character list is: / \\ ? * : | \" < >. See the next section for more examples of semicolon behavior.
exiftool \\\n '-FileName<${Artist;} - ${Title;}.%e' \\\n '-FileName<${Artist;} - ${Album;} - ${Title;}.%e' \\\n -- \\\n *.mp3 *.m4a\nThe way I solved this prior to knowing the semicolon behavior was to use a regex replace, which is included here because it could be useful in other circumstances:
exiftool \\\n '-FileName<${Artist;s/\\//_/} - ${Title;s/\\//_/}.%e' \\\n '-FileName<${Artist;s/\\//_/} - ${Album;s/\\//_/} - ${Title;s/\\//_/}.%e' \\\n -- \\\n *.mp3 *.m4a\nUsing the above technique, it's not possible to create directories using date components as parts of the directory structure.
$ exiftool -d '%Y/%m/%d/%F-%H-%M-%S' '-TestName<${DateTimeOriginal;}.%le' -- example.jpg\n'example.jpg' --> '201803042018-03-04-00-01-29.jpg'\nNotice how all the directory delimiters were left out. To work around this, you can use a date format string with DafeFmt directly in the date tag instead of in -d:
$ exiftool '-TestName<${DateTimeOriginal;DateFmt(\"%Y/%m/%d/%F-%H-%M-%S\")}.%le' -- example.jpg\n'example.jpg' --> '2018/03/04/2018-03-04-00-01-29.jpg'\nMaking sure not use put a semicolon into the tags, as described in the last section, you can use more than one tag to rename a file, so long as you format your date string correctly.

One of those problems is if you have multiple keys loaded that have different authorizations on a remote git server like Github. For instance, say you have ~/.ssh/id_ed25519_home as your personal private key and ~/.ssh/id_ed225519_work as your private work key. If you try to clone a work repo and git tries to authenticate with your home identity first, it will be unauthorized and the clone will fail, even though you have a second identity loaded that could have succeeded. To work around this, do something like:
export GIT_SSH_COMMAND=\"ssh -o IdentitiesOnly=yes -i $HOME/.ssh/id_ed225519_work\"\ngit clone git@github.com:your-work-gh-org/super-secret-repo.git\nThis works fine for one key having authorization to all private repos. This becomes difficult when you have multiple repos, each with a key that only has authorization for that single repo, such as using deploy keys tied to a single repo. If you try that when doing something like yarn install, which is trying to clone multiple private repos, it will fail 100% of the time. In that case, you can follow the next example. You may have to read it twice, because setting up the configuration makes more sense if you do ssh then git, but logically it makes more sense if you go from git into ssh, which is how the process actually flows.
Construct an ssh_config file that configures a unique Host for each private repo you need to clone and private key file that has access to it:
Host secret_repo_1\n Hostname github.com\n IdentityFile ~/.ssh/private_key_for_repo_1\n\nHost secret_repo_2\n Hostname github.com\n IdentityFile ~/.ssh/private_key_for_repo_2\n\nIdentitiesOnly yes\nThe ssh_configs above allow ssh access to what is essentially a host alias where the key that is authorized for the repo is used when ssh tries to connect to the correlated Host entry. In the next step, we do the same thing in reverse by crafting a gitconfig file with one stanza for each of the ssh Host entries from your ssh_config, pointing it back to github:
[url \"git@secret_repo_1:your-work-gh-org/super-secret-repo-1.git\"]\n insteadOf = git@github.com:your-work-gh-org/super-secret-repo-1.git\n\n[url \"git@secret_repo_2:your-work-gh-org/super-secret-repo-2.git\"]\n insteadOf = git@github.com:your-work-gh-org/super-secret-repo-2.git\nWe then export two variables in the shell:
export GIT_SSH_COMMAND=\"ssh -F $PWD/your_crafted_ssh_config_file\"\nexport GIT_CONFIG_GLOBAL=\"$PWD/your_crafted_gitconfig_file\"\nWhat happens next is when you execute git clone git@github.com:your-work-gh-org/super-secret-repo-1.git, which is the originally source git URL, your git_config alters the URL to be git@secret_repo_1:your-work-gh-org/super-secret-repo-1.git. The server name is passed into ssh, which uses your custom ssh_config file to connect to github.com using the options for that entry that are specified in the git_config, which includes using the identity file that is unique to that git repository. The same series of steps happens for secret_repo_2. The result is that each of these git repositories can be cloned using their original github URL, but these custom ssh configs are used in the process, which allows the right authentication mechanisms to be used for each individual git repository. This all happens without us having to alter the source code of the repo we are building, EG: without modifying package.json which is used by yarn. Using these techniques, we can set up CI to build software from private repositories using deploy keys where otherwise we would be unable to due to ssh authentication errors that might work fine for somebody who has a single ssh key that is authorized to clone all of the repositories.

By default, fast-forward merges occur, which replays the commits on the branch that is being merged into.

git config --global merge.ff false\ngit filter-repo is not a standard tool with git, but can be installed separately. It is used for rewriting the history of the git repo, allowing move, rename, merging and trimming operations, rewriting commit IDs, and more. This is a destructive tool, so it should be performed on a fresh clone of the repo while you iterate on finding the right sequence of operations to perform to get to your desired state. The destructive nature is that it rewrites the entire history of the repo, so if your repo depends on specific SHAs or any other specific history, you probably need to take a harder look at how to solve your problem.
This is great if you want to extract part of a repo for public release, or just for organizational purposes.

The reflog is a log of what steps have been performed locally. You can view the reflog, then reset to a prior state.
git reflog # show all HEAD changes\ngit reset --hard 45e0ae5 # reset all git tracked state to 45e0ae5\nAlternately, you can use a date:
git reflog --date=iso # absolute date based reflog references\ngit reset \"HEAD@{2015-03-25 14:45:30 -0700}\" --hard\nDo this if you want to start your branch over with only the current changes. This is useful if you've been iterating through lots of bad changes that were committed and want to clean them all out. It basically lets you squash to a single commit on your branch.
git reset $(git merge-base master $(git rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEAD))\nThis will abandon all local changes and resolve merge conflicts
git fetch origin\ngit reset --hard origin/master\nThis is useful after your reset to a prior state. It deletes all files and directories that show up in the untracked section of git status

"},{"location":"helm/#splay-cron-jobs","title":"Splay cron jobs","text":"Splaying cron jobs avoids the thundering herd problem by spreading the jobs out over time with deterministic randomness.
The functions available when using Helm templates are not as plentiful and general purpose like you would expect in a normal programming language, so we have to get creative for some things. One thing that would be great is if Helm provided a deterministic random feature. It does have randomness, but there is no way to seed the random number generator. To work around this, we can use other functions that do take inputs in order to generate deterministic random-ish numbers. One such example is using adler32sum, which returns a base-10 hash value of an input.
The following example splays a cron job that runs every 15 minutes from 3-12 inclusive, which should avoid high-demand minutes at the beginning of 0/15, and still give a few minutes for work to complete before coming back around to the next 0/15 interval.
'{{- add 3 (regexFind \".$\" (adler32sum .Release.Name)) -}}-59/15 * * * *'\nThis bit of code aler32sums the .Release.Name value, which is expected to be unique for every deployment but may not be in your environment, takes only the right-most digit, which is 0-9, and adds 3 to it, then uses that number as the starting minute in the cron schedule, EG: 7-59/* * * * *.
Here is a python script that shows what minute number would be generated for 235,976 inputs:
#!/usr/bin/env python3\n\nfrom zlib import adler32\nfrom pathlib import Path\n\n_input = Path(\"/usr/share/dict/words\").read_text().split()\noutput = {x + 3: 0 for x in range(10)}\n\nfor item in _input:\n cksum = adler32(str.encode(item))\n splay_minute = int(str(cksum)[-1]) + 3\n output[splay_minute] += 1\n\nfor k, v in output.items():\n print(f\"{k:2d}: {v}\")\nAnd the output shows a pretty even splay across all minutes, with each minute containing roughly 1/10th of the input lines:
$ ./test-adler32sum.py\n 3: 23483\n 4: 23523\n 5: 23699\n 6: 23628\n 7: 23464\n 8: 23750\n 9: 23435\n10: 23833\n11: 23605\n12: 23556\nSurely there is more rigorous statistical analysis needed to better understand exactly how the inputs are being spread, but if you care that much about it, you are probably better off submitting a pr with your desired behavior to https://github.com/Masterminds/sprig, which is where the helm template functions come from.

"},{"location":"jmespath/#links","title":"Links","text":"Something that is completely absent from the jmespath tutorial is that quotes matter. You must quote value strings with single quotes or back-ticks, which means you have to quote the python function args with double quotes, use back-ticks, or escape your single quotes:
>>> print(l)\n[{\"name\": \"foo-name\", \"age\": \"foo-age\"}, {\"name\": \"bar-name\", \"age\": \"bar-age\"}]\n>>> print(yaml.dump(l))\n- age: foo-age\n name: foo-name\n- age: bar-age\n name: bar-name\n\n>>> jmespath.search(\"[?name == 'bar-name']\", l)\n[{'name': 'bar-name', 'age': 'bar-age'}]\n>>> jmespath.search('[?name == \"bar-name\"]', l)\n[]\n>>> jmespath.search('[?name == \\'bar-name\\']', l)\n[{'name': 'bar-name', 'age': 'bar-age'}]\n>>> jmespath.search(\"[?name == `bar-name`]\", l)\n[{'name': 'bar-name', 'the.age': 'bar-the.age'}]\nHowever, in jmespath you also must double-quote keys (variable names) that contain dots. (Double-quotes are optional for keys that do not contain dots.) This becomes a bit burdensome to keep track of, and also failure-prone:
>>> l = [{\"name\": \"foo-name\", \"the.age\": \"foo-the.age\"}, {\"name\": \"bar-name\", \"the.age\": \"bar-the.age\"}]\n>>> l[1]['the.age']\n'bar-the.age'\n>>> jmespath.search(\"[?'the.age' == 'bar-the.age']\", l)\n[]\n>>> jmespath.search('[?\"the.age\" == \"bar-the.age\"]', l)\n[]\n>>> jmespath.search('[?\"the.age\" == \\'bar-the.age\\']', l)\n[{'name': 'bar-name', 'the.age': 'bar-the.age'}]\n>>> jmespath.search('[?\"the.age\" == `bar-the.age`]', l)\n[{'name': 'bar-name', 'the.age': 'bar-the.age'}]\n>>> jmespath.search(\"[?\\\"the.age\\\" == 'bar-the.age']\", l)\n[{'name': 'bar-name', 'the.age': 'bar-the.age'}]\nTriple quotes can help here by avoiding the need to escape both single-quotes and double-quotes:
>>> jmespath.search(\"\"\"[?'the.age' == 'bar-the.age']\"\"\", l)\n[]\n>>> jmespath.search(\"\"\"[?\"the.age\" == \"bar-the.age\"]\"\"\", l)\n[]\n>>> jmespath.search(\"\"\"[?\"the.age\" == 'bar-the.age']\"\"\", l)\n[{'name': 'bar-name', 'the.age': 'bar-the.age'}]\n>>> jmespath.search(\"\"\"[?\"the.age\" == `bar-the.age`]\"\"\", l)\n[{'name': 'bar-name', 'the.age': 'bar-the.age'}]\nThe TL;DR is to only double-quote variable names, and single-quote or back-tick-quote anything that is a string literal. This requirement is inconsistent with normal python comparisons. The behavior is strict and unintuitive to people unfamiliar with jmespath. The fact that the failures are silent is quite problematic and leads to low confidence that jmespath is behaving as expected. jmespath would do well to have a linter to warn about this behavior, and at least mention the different types of quotes and their behaviors in the tutorial. (FWIW, these details are buried in the jmespath spec, including the nuanced differences between single-quotes and back-ticks.)

join is a unix tool that is similar to a sql join, combining two files by joining on a column. The macOS man page has more example than the GNU man page, but as usual the syntaxes aren't exactly the same.
The following example use the following dates.txt file as file 1. Notice it is missing data between December 25 and December 31 (inclusive).
2022-12-21 9\n2022-12-22 2\n2022-12-23 1\n2022-12-24 5\n2023-01-01 6\n2023-01-02 6\n2023-01-03 2\nWe also use a loop that produces dates that contain the dates missing from dates.txt but do not go back as far in time:
$ for OFFSET in {10..0} ; do date -d \"-$OFFSET days\" \"+%F offset=$OFFSET\" ; done\n2022-12-24 offset=10\n2022-12-25 offset=9\n2022-12-26 offset=8\n2022-12-27 offset=7\n2022-12-28 offset=6\n2022-12-29 offset=5\n2022-12-30 offset=4\n2022-12-31 offset=3\n2023-01-01 offset=2\n2023-01-02 offset=1\n2023-01-03 offset=0\n$ join dates.txt <(for OFFSET in {10..0} ; do date -d \"-$OFFSET days\" \"+%F $OFFSET\" ; done)\n2022-12-24 5 10\n2023-01-01 6 2\n2023-01-02 6 1\n2023-01-03 2 0\n$ join -a 1 dates.txt <(for OFFSET in {10..0} ; do date -d \"-$OFFSET days\" \"+%F offset=$OFFSET\" ; done)\n2022-12-21 9\n2022-12-22 2\n2022-12-23 1\n2022-12-24 5 offset=10\n2023-01-01 6 offset=2\n2023-01-02 6 offset=1\n2023-01-03 2 offset=0\n$ join -a 2 dates.txt <(for OFFSET in {10..0} ; do date -d \"-$OFFSET days\" \"+%F offset=$OFFSET\" ; done)\n2022-12-24 5 offset=10\n2022-12-25 offset=9\n2022-12-26 offset=8\n2022-12-27 offset=7\n2022-12-28 offset=6\n2022-12-29 offset=5\n2022-12-30 offset=4\n2022-12-31 offset=3\n2023-01-01 6 offset=2\n2023-01-02 6 offset=1\n2023-01-03 2 offset=0\nWe can specify which columns we want to see in the output, which includes the ability to join on a column that is not shown the output:
$ join -o 1.2,2.2 dates.txt <(for OFFSET in {10..0} ; do gdate -d \"-$OFFSET days\" \"+%F offset=$OFFSET\" ; done)\n5 offset=10\n6 offset=2\n6 offset=1\n2 offset=0\nWe use -e Null to indicate we want to fill in missing values with Null. In order for -e to work right, e have to specify the output columns with -o. We also have to specify -a 2 to indicate we want to see all lines from file 2. Because we are showing all lines in file 2, we use -o 2.1 instead of -o 1.1 so that the date column is not populated with Null values.
$ join -e Null -o 2.1,1.2,2.2 -a 2 dates.txt <(for OFFSET in {10..0} ; do gdate -d \"-$OFFSET days\" \"+%F offset=$OFFSET\" ; done)\n2022-12-24 5 offset=10\n2022-12-25 Null offset=9\n2022-12-26 Null offset=8\n2022-12-27 Null offset=7\n2022-12-28 Null offset=6\n2022-12-29 Null offset=5\n2022-12-30 Null offset=4\n2022-12-31 Null offset=3\n2023-01-01 6 offset=2\n2023-01-02 6 offset=1\n2023-01-03 2 offset=0\nA practical example of the above is making sure you have an entire sequence filled in, for example when graphing a set where no entry is created for days that have no data points. This ensures we're seeing a complete set, not just the days that have data:

jq -S '. | walk( if type == \"array\" then sort else . end )'\nOr set up a shell alias
alias jqsort=\"jq -S '. | walk( if type == \\\"array\\\" then sort else . end )'\"\nWhen creating long pipelines, it's useful to be able to store a deep value as a variable. In the following example we store .metadata.namespace as $namespace and .metadata.name as $podname before digging into .status where we would no longer have access to .metadata:
kubectl get pod -A -l k8s-app=kube-dns -o=json |\njq -r '\n .items[] |\n .metadata.namespace as $namespace |\n .metadata.name as $podname |\n .status.containerStatuses[] |\n \"\\($namespace) \\($podname) \\(.name) \\(.restartCount)\"\n' |\ncolumn -t\nThe output of this command is something like:
kube-system kube-dns-66f64447b8-7tzkn dnsmasq 5\nkube-system kube-dns-66f64447b8-7tzkn kubedns 0\nkube-system kube-dns-66f64447b8-7tzkn prometheus-to-sd 0\nkube-system kube-dns-66f64447b8-7tzkn sidecar 0\nkube-system kube-dns-66f64447b8-b2jsf dnsmasq 3\nkube-system kube-dns-66f64447b8-b2jsf kubedns 0\nkube-system kube-dns-66f64447b8-b2jsf prometheus-to-sd 0\nkube-system kube-dns-66f64447b8-b2jsf sidecar 0\n$ echo '{\"foo\": 1, \"bar\": 2}' | jq '[.foo // \"missing\", .bar // \"missing\", .baz // \"missing\"]'\n[\n 1,\n 2,\n \"missing\"\n]\nWhen using curl --data, in-line JSON can get out of hand real quick. To avoid confusing syntaxes, use jq to create a temp file, then reference that file in curl:
JSON_DATA=$(mktemp)\njq -n '{service_account: env.SERVICE_ACCOUNT_ID, secret_key: env.SERVICE_ACCOUNT_KEY}' > \"$JSON_DATA\"\nThe above commands create a temporary file with the correct and valid JSON:
$ cat \"$JSON_DATA\"\n{\n \"service_account\": \"whoever@serviceaccount.example.com\",\n \"secret_key\": \"abc123\"\n}\nThen reference that in curl:
$ curl -s --request POST --header \"content-type: application/json\" --data \"@${JSON_DATA}\" https://httpbin.org/anything\n{\n \"args\": {},\n \"data\": \"{ \\\"service_account\\\": \\\"whoever@serviceaccount.example.com\\\", \\\"secret_key\\\": \\\"abc123\\\"}\",\n \"files\": {},\n \"form\": {},\n \"headers\": {\n \"Accept\": \"*/*\",\n \"Content-Length\": \"84\",\n...\ncurl -fssL https://storage.googleapis.com/updates.astronomer.io/astronomer-certified |\njq '.available_releases | sort_by(.release_date)[-1]'\n\"JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) is a lightweight data-interchange format.\" - https://www.json.org/

kubectl get sts -l component=prometheus -n \"$NS\" -o json |\n jq -r '.items[] | .kind as $kind | .metadata.name as $name | .spec.template.spec.containers[] | \"\\($kind)/\\($name) \\(.name)\"' |\n column -t\nWhich produces the output:

$ kubectl get sts -l component=prometheus -n $NS -o json |\n jq -r '.items[] | .kind as $kind | .metadata.name as $name | .spec.template.spec.containers[] | \"\\($kind)/\\($name) \\(.name)\"' |\n while read -r p c ; do echo \"$p $c $(kubectl -n $NS exec $p -c $c -- env | grep '^HOSTNAME=')\" ; done ;\nStatefulSet/demo-prometheus configmap-reloader HOSTNAME=demo-prometheus-1\nStatefulSet/demo-prometheus prometheus HOSTNAME=demo-prometheus-1\nThat's obviously a contrived example, but the real learning here is that it is possible to iterate deep json data while referencing values form higher levels by storing that higher level as variables.

If you are using /etc/fstab for your nfs mounts, you may run into a race condition where the network target comes online and allows NFS mounts to continue, but DHCP has not yet completed. This causes the NFS mounts to fail.
To fix this race condition, enable systemd-networkd-wait-online.service
sudo systemctl enable systemd-networkd-wait-online.service\nThen edit your /etc/fstab entry to rely on that target.
192.168.0.99:/share/media /mnt/shared-media nfs x-systemd.requires=network-online.target, ... the_rest_of_the_options\nThis solution so far works, but has the negative side effect of making boot take longer due to waiting for dhclient requests to time out before continuing. On Debian 12, this adds 2 minutes to the total boot time shown by systemd-analyze plot > boot-$(date +%F).svg.
If you know the exact interface your mount points rely on, then you can tailor the wait-online.service to only wait for that one interface:
sudo systemctl edit systemd-networkd-wait-online.service\nThen add the following section to the correct location as directed by the comments in the editor window:
[Service]\nExecStart=\nExecStart=/lib/systemd/systemd-networkd-wait-online --ipv4 --interface=your_interface_name\nThe reason there is an empty ExecStart= is that this is how systemd is instructed to empty out the previous assignments instead of appending to them. This works with other option too. More info here: https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemd.service.html
If you have a mount point within an NFS share, you must have a separate entry in your exports file that sets the permissions of this mount point. Currently OS X has a problem with this, but officially this is the way to do it.

The suggested workflow for puppet is to use r10k on a control repo to manage the modules on your puppetmaster and the environments it provides. The general idea is that each module is represented by a puppetforge module name or a git repo listed inside of the ambiguously named Puppetfile. When r10k puppetfile install -v is run, all modules listed in this file are installed according to their definitions, and all modules that are not in this file are purged. Also, r10k will set up environments based on the git branches of the control repo. This workflow is described in detail at Managing and deploying Puppet code. It assumes you are not using a puppet apply type setup, which makes this difficult to follow for people who are playing with this at home in a non-puppetmaster scenario, such as in vagrant or on raspberry pi's.

See also ls -la /usr/local/opt/coreutils/bin/.
Slashes are really really important here; this won't work if you get them wrong. Absolute paths must be given, thus ${PWD} and ${HOME} vs ~

It should only take a few seconds. Lines with 'hf' indicate a hard linked file. Lines with 'cd' indicate 'created directory'.
rsync can copy not only data, but also filesystem attributes, and if these differ between the link-dest and the src, a hard link may not be created but instead a copy of the file from the local filesystem is made and correct metadata is applied from the source.

"},{"location":"sort/#gnu-syntax-examples","title":"GNU Syntax Examples","text":"In OS X, this is gsort.
There is a big caveat to using GNU sort with data that has inconsistent whitespace.

$ gsort -b -k2 --debug test-data.txt\ngsort: text ordering performed using \u2018en_US.UTF-8\u2019 sorting rules\nbar 2\n _\n______\nfoo 5\n _\n_________\nbaz 9\n _\n_____________\nBy giving the -o the same output file as the input file we can shuffle in-place without errors. Trying this same thing using a pipe or a redirect will usually cause an empty file.
Beware that this will put duplicate lines right next to each other. If you need better file content shuffling use shuf.
sort -o foo -R foo\nWhen sorting by multiple fields, it's important to specify the start and end of where you want the sort to occur. If you do not do this, you may get too short of a comparison, or too long of a comparison. Check the output of --debug if you don't get the right sort order.
# -k defines the sort key as starting position, sort style, ending position\n# -r is included in the second key to reverse numeric sort\n\ngsort -k1d,1 -k2nr,2\nAnother practical example of this is sorting authorized_keys files by their comment, putting commented keys at the bottom, which keeps the columns nicely aligned. For instance, if you have this file:

## Create the database\nsqlite3 images.db \"create table images (filename varchar(255), createdate timestamp, unique(filename))\"\n## Populate the database. This can be blindly re-run when new files are added.\nexiftool -d \"%s\" -p 'insert into images values (\"$filename\", \"$DateTimeOriginal\");' -q -f -r . | sqlite3 images.db 2> /dev/null\n## Query the database\nsqlite3 images.db \"SELECT filename,datetime(createdate,'unixepoch','localtime') as date FROM images WHERE date LIKE '2014-08-02%';\"\nThis example shows how to delete JPG files where a DNG also exists, for photos taken with a camera that keeps track of the ImageNumber, like most DSLRs.
First, ingest all the exif data from your photos into a sqlite db. We specify only the fields we need from exiftool, and output the data as a json blob, then use jq to reformat the json as one record per line, then send that into sqlite-utils. The sqlite-utils --nl option tells it to expect one record per line, --pk SourceFile specifies that field (which is always present in exiftool json output) as the primary key to ensure uniqueness, --replace will update any rows where the primary key already exists (so we can re-run this on an existing database). If we were not specifying exiftool fields, we would need an --alter flag here to tell sqlite-utils to add columns to the table for exif fields that did not exist in any previously imported photos.
SOURCE_DIR=/some/absolute/path/with/photos\nfind \"${SOURCE_DIR}\" -type f -iname '*.jpg' -print0 -or -iname '*.dng' -print0 |\nxargs -0 exiftool -SerialNumber -ImageNumber -FileType -json |\njq -c '.[]' |\nsqlite-utils insert --nl --pk SourceFile --replace ~/photos.db photos -\nNow do a sql select for all JPG files that finds the duplicates. The idea here is to find distinct shots from a specific camera body which are identified by concatenating the SerialNumber and the ImageNumber together, and only select rows with FileType = JPEG where that same shot also has a FileType = DNG entry. This avoids deletion of JPG files where there is no DNG for the same shot.
This example does echo rm just for the example. Remove echo to actually do the deletion. This example also shows how to interpolate fields in sqlite3 by using || to concatenate fields and strings to produce a single string that is used to compare with, or output as a result.
sqlite3 ~/photos.db \"\nselect SourceFile from photos\nwhere FileType = 'JPEG'\nand SerialNumber || ImageNumber in (\n select SerialNumber || ImageNumber from photos where FileType = 'DNG'\n) ;\n\" |\nxargs -r echo rm -fv\n\"The VACUUM command rebuilds the database file, repacking it into a minimal amount of disk space.\" - https://www.sqlite.org/lang_vacuum.html

\"sysctl - configure kernel parameters at runtime\" - man sysctl
/etc/sysctl.conf is for storing permanent changes, sysctl is used for making changes to the running system.
Because sysctl is a kernel level feature, its values are shared between all containers running on a given node. This means that if you have containers in kubernetes that modify sysctl, this alters the behavior of every other container in every pod running on that same node. It also means that if you do such things, you cannot rely on those values being consistent because they are not managed in a central place, but instead are being modified by pods that are scheduled on the node. Because of this, it's a good idea to try to avoid this if at all possible, and if you need to tweak sysctl for pods, try to account for that in your pod affinities.

In the script, stderr always comes second, but in all but one of these iterations, stderr was handled before stdout. This is not a problem of vector, this is a fundamental posix problem due to stderr and stdout having separate streams. However, vector seems to have a method for handling this when a timestamp shows up in the stream. If I replace echo with date \"+%FT%T%z.%N foo\" in both streams, they are consistently in-order. Of course, another way to handle this is to output logs as structured data with the timestamp right from the source, but you will not always have control over the source log format.
Another aspect of this setup is you can use vector as a type of init system, because you can set sources.exec.streaming.respawn_on_exit = true which will re-launch the process if it dies for some reason.
https://vector.dev/guides/level-up/vector-tap-guide/
Vector has a feature called tap that lets you hook into an running instance and see what is coming through. You can enable this in your vector config via:
# Filename: vector.toml\n[api]\nenabled = true\nThen simply
vector tap\nThis shows pre-transform inputs, and outputs, which is useful when you are not seeing the output you expect because you can see the before and after right next to each other. There are also some further arguments you can pass to vector tap that let you filter so you can see specific inputs or outputs. See vector tap --help for those syntaxes.

Vector has a repl feature that can be use for developing configs and debugging. Launch it with vector vrl. Once inside, type help to get guidance on how to proceed.

The -print0 arg causes find to terminate each result with a null, which allows it to handle filename with characters that might not play nicely with the shell. We have to then use xargs -0 to make it also handle the null terminated lines. Lots of commands have a feature like this, so be on the lookout for it.

Since sha256sum is single-threaded, this would speed things up by using multiple CPU cores instead of being bound to a single CPU core.
This uses GNU sed -i, on macOS you should use sed -i '' or gsed -i. The -z on git grep causes it to null terminate the entries so xargs -0 will work.

This is useful if you created your zpool using /dev/sdN when you should have used /dev/disk/by-id/, which is deterministic. The -d option lets you specify a directory to look within for the given pool's devices.
zpool import -d /dev/disk/by-id/ \"$ZPOOL_NAME\"\nYou may find that your pool was imported using links from this path that are not desirable, because there are several options available. For instance, you may find that your pool was imported using wwn links (EG: wwn-0x5000cca22eca1056) that are not very user friendly compared to a link that shows the model and serial number (EG: scsi-SATA_HGST_HMS5C4141BM_PM1302LAGR5A0F). Because these links are managed by udev and are created when the disk is seen by the system, either at boot or at insertion, and because nothing else should be referencing these symlinks, they are safe to delete. Export your pool, then delete unwanted symlinks for the devices related to your pool, leaving only the symlinks you want to use, then run zpool import -d once again.

List the absolute paths of your devices with something like:

zpool online -e tank <disk-name> # do the expansion\nzpool list -v tank # check the EXPANDSZ column for the disk\nAfter doing all of these your pool should be expanded.
