Face ID, as in the biometric mechanism I use to unlock my phone, a 2019 iPhone 11; mask, as in a single-use surgical mask one might use amidst COVID-19. Here’s the thing. Face ID doesn’t work when masked up. I used to use a 2017 iPhone 8, obviously it’d be far more effective at this point in time. And I can’t help but wishing for an iPhone 8-like replacement. Or for the folks that might prefer an even smaller phone, iPhone SE2 then.

Vagrant version: $ vagrant -version Vagrant 2.2.7 To create a Vagrantfile in the project directory using HashiCorp’s official “box”: cd /path/to/the/project/directory/; vagrant init hashicorp/bionic64 In case of any edits, use vagrant reload. Getting into your Ubuntu box; i.e., a VM: vagrant up vagrant ssh There is suspend, resume, halt <--force>, and destroy, among many other CLI commands to manage the entire lifecycle of a box.

Recently, we deployed a GitLab instance, and my colleague discovered that when he logged in using our LDAP service account credentials, he ended up logging in as me; i.e., two different LDAP users with two pairs of usernames/passwords end up being the same user. I didn’t want that to be the case, so I dug into this a bit. Using ldapsearch with the sAMAccountName attribute resulted in two users (correct), and the gitlab-rake gitlab:ldap:check output proved similarly unhelpful, so I filed an issue.

Lately I’ve been getting up-to-speed on Prometheus. That is, the prometheus-operator chart installed via helm: NAME CHART VERSION APP VERSION stable/prometheus-operator 6.11.0 0.32.0 I’m seeing an error, though: Error: release prometheus failed: rpc error: code = Canceled desc = grpc: the client connection is closing The workaround for this, as Github user cu12 has so kindly pointed out, is to disable admission webhook support (e.g., --set prometheusOperator.admissionWebhooks.enabled=false).

I’ve been a long-time VirtualBox user. Typically, I use Cygwin to SSH to my guest OS (e.g., Ubuntu) so there never was a problem with using using the Alt+Tab keyboard shortcut to switch between windows. However, on a work trip I realized that for whatever reason, bridged mode simply wouldn’t work with my wireless network card, so I was forced to install a Linux Desktop Environment, something that I’ve long resisted to reduce my guest resource requirements.

Anything prior? (By the time I started watching, the speaker was onstage talking about the new Apple Arcade section of the App Store.) Arcade Apple Arcade games (i.e., Frogger, Sayonara Wild Hearts) look really great, in particular, Sayonara Wild Hearts with its psychedelic art style. Apple Arcade will be a paid subscription service launching September 19 for $4.99 USD, and there’ll be a one month free trial. TV+ Worldwide premier trailer for SEE.
