Designing Distributed Systems is a fantastic read

I have it in my collection, it generally sits on the shelf closest to my desk

Why oh why do they have to impose these UGLY color schemes. OSX users will never adopt this on that account alone 😃

(back story - i’ve been using evernote for 10+ years - i’ve hated more than loved it this whole time. currently, none of my notes are indexed. constantly get duplicate notes. core functionality of the app has been broken since day one.)

MS has many patents for the ribbon, and probably for the color schemes 🙂

Truth. I just started paying for freaking Evernote after evaluating OneNote, Google Keep, and the open-source alternatives to Evernote. 😕

keep feels too basic. also with my luck, if I switched to it, Google would EOL it in december like it has Inbox.

Agreed, and same here, with no way to easily export data 🤣

Im stuck on OneNote, because basically everything else is worse

I was on Evernote, but once I had lots of data it started to be really bad, and the client got worse over time

The main reason for me to always miss evernote: https://evernote.com/products/webclipper

no webclipper is a good as that one

PS: I do like the OneNote purple 😞

Does anyone use Concourse-CI for there CI ?

I don't. I want to though. But then I'm up in the air between trying Concourse or Drone. I do like the visuals: https://ci.concourse-ci.org/

But then at the end of the day.. I'll just fall back to a hosted service whenever possible

"I prefer Codefresh", says the guy who works for Codefresh. 😅

If you're thinking about Kubernetes or Helm we have some great options and a free-tier offering to get started.

@Ryan Smith We currently use Drone.io and are looking into Concourse and to move that route so it's very interesting that you brought up both those products

I like the look and feel of concourse and it's much more explicit than Drone is but it requires some interesting configurations in order to just get hooked up with GitHub webhooks and Drone will configure fresh with GitHub out of the box

what makes you want to move off drone?

Lack of support, i'm trying to move our images off DockerHub onto ECR and their plugin for uploading ECR images is broken.. Don't really want to dive into creating that plugin either, they are raising their prices and one day they changed our license key without telling us and nothing worked for 4 hours in a live production environment so just some things like that

I've reached out to Brad at Drone and their support channel 5x now over the duration of 1 month and haven't got a response on updating the CC they have on file so it's had it's challenges

Drone is beneficial in the fact it's easy setup, non-technical easy to read pipeline as well as their global secrets but requires the enterprise edition for that

At Codefresh, we auto-create your GitHub webhook when you select your repository from a list and can filter on events (commit, pull request, release), branches, modified files to determine which pipelines you'd like to run based on the webhook's payload.

We can use either your auth or a configured service account to connect to GitHub.

In regards to ECR we support this both as a registry provider to push and pull from also we can use some native steps like https://github.com/codefresh-contrib/cfstep-paclair to invoke clair scans on your ECR stored Docker images.

@dustinvb Direct message me - i'm open for a demo and sales discussion, company is correctly looking into CI alternatives and Concourse is just something I stumbled into so i'm open for discussion

Hehe, @dustinvb is killing it! 😀 🙂

Lol

hi People anyone has experience with using codebuild and terraform / docker ? Is it worth investigating or should I fall back to any decent 3rd party service.

We have a bunch of terraform modules that do this

oh nice let me see

if I can find them on git 🙂

So that said codebuild feels very primitive when compared to things like Codefresh. The nice thing though is you can automate the whole process e2e without leaving terraform

Not many alternatives if you want e2e automation

Thanks @Erik Osterman (Cloud Posse) what I am also wondering is if someone has been using codebuild for doing terraform plan/apply , something like atlantis.

Oh gotcha... no we briefly explored that

There is prior art out there on GitHub of people doing terraform inside of codebuild

wouldnt that loop? terraform apply -> creates codebuild -> terraform apply -> ??

Oh haha, need to phase shift

There’s always got to be a bootstrap process

@Gonzalo Peci Try updating your Atlantis Fargate, with Atlantis 😉

So our strategy for that was going to be to deploy Atlantis with cloudformation on ecs fargate

So that way it’s out of phase with terraform

yeah it's a bit of a terraformsception 🙂

Lol

@Nikola Velkovski I have a vague memory of bootstrapping puppet master with puppet.. 🙂

Anyone have a good way to auto-reply to Slack conversations for Oof when you're mentioned via @name or DM?

Zapier can do it

There might be apps in the marketplace, but haven’t looked for those

I found Oliv just didn't pull up on any searches. Now to send to security to get a review.

Cool! I will check it out too

nice 😃

I guess we need to start hitting the tf tld

https://www.101domain.com/domain-availability-search.htm
Available:
- aws.tf
- terragrunt.tf
- geodesic.tf

At least I got my vanity domain 🙂
https://rms1000watt.com/

Modules.tf is my, main.tf - Paul Hinze :)

I now own aws.tf

plan to start a terraform blog called terraform.aws.tf

how much is a subdomain from you jan ?

@jonboulle you think you can get Blinkist to buy Airship.tf ?

cool tnx 🙂

@Maarten van der Hoef for cloud posse?

thats pretty cool

Best Black Friday email I got.

(Subject line)

hah, i think i was reading that article about the same time yesterday, very cool stuff

This is a daily occurrence on GOV.UK

(kinda)

Personally, I loved it when there was one and only real hosting solution: GitHub

One place to assume a project was hosted

Soon we’re gonna need Expedia for source code

I love being able to collaborate seemlessly across projects which isn’t possible in the same way when things are spread about

Today I realized that NGINX is on mercurial

Feels like I was transported back to 1999

I am sure the command line tool is incrementally better than git, but this UI... 🤦‍♂️

I am grateful there is only one Facebook and that Friendster, MySpace, Path, etc are no more. The craze of signing up for social networks is temporarily over

Now we are entering an era where it’s happening to VCS: BitBucket, GitLab, CodeCommit, GitHub, CloudSource, etc

I agree 100%

Just be grateful it wasn't hosted on sourceforge 😂

It is painful when tooling used to integrate with VCS doesn't support some of these. E.g. the Jenkins gitlab plugin was bug ridden for ages and had lots of missing features compared to the GitHub plugin.

people don't realize how important those integrations are, they just see the source code, not the whole pipeline

But is $10 cheaper a month!

haha - yea, cost is so often the driver - even if just $10

hahahaha
