I finally updated to ventura the other day, went to hack on github-linter and … dependency hell.

Updating to 2.0.2 seems to have fixed it.

I was trying to parse some XML (well, Atom, but you get it)… and started getting this while using the rust quick-xml crate.

thread 'main' panicked at 'called `Result::unwrap()` on an `Err` value: Unsupported("structures are not supported for XSD `simpleType`s")', examples/test_quickxml2.rs:79:42

BNE-DXB, Worst. Flight. In. My. Life.

I’m writing a GUI app in Rust, trying to get it working with Tauri’s tooling, using Yew to generate the actual user-facing code. I thought it would be easy to get a thing that notices when I hit a key, and do stuff with it. Pre-yew-0.19 you could do this with a KeyboardService, now it’s a whole thing with gloo.

I run Kubernetes at home. Yeah, I’ve said it. It’s out there now.

Now we’re past that, here’s how to convince traefik to talk nicely to a HTTPS backend server, in this case a test instance of GoatNS. I use Terraform for my configuration management, k3s to build/control the platform, with its built-in traefik for routing traffic.

After confirming that they do support DNS LOC records, I couldn’t find any documentation about how to successfully create them using terraform, so here goes:

I kept getting OOMKilled when trying to build Rust apps in Docker containers on GitHub Actions (and also locally, using buildx). The return code of any cargo command that touched the list of crates would end up with the command killed after 30-90 seconds.

I found two solutions:

This is a great article, with fantastic takeaways: How to understand cough medicines.

I wonder how many things are going to break when AWS changes how ACM certs are issued. They’re moving to “dynamic” (ie, randomly allocated) intermediates starting 11th October 2022, which is surprisingly soon!

They say not to use certificate pinning, but lots of people do, and I’m sure there’s a load of custom config/deployment methods out there that’ll rely on some kind of static intermediate.

Good luck, friends!

Microsoft’s Edge browser is pretty cool, I use it instead of Chrome because .. somehow Microsoft has become less creepy than Google?

They’ve recently added efficiency mode, which is handy until it starts sleeping the tab that Octoprint is on, which queues up all the “live view” features and somehow makes them replay at super-speed when I go back to the tab.

AAAAANNYWAY. I did some searching and couldn’t find the answer to “how do I stop Edge from sleeping pinned tab” because that’s not a thing (article on what can stop a tab to sleep here).
