Been lifting weights for a while and looking to upgrade from a cheap squat rack (half rack?) to something like a power rack that will allow me and my wife to use resistance bands. Any suggestions? Anything made in the US that isn't out of stock right now?

evening! ive been checking out this build tool, which looks pretty cool: https://earthly.dev/

anyone using it? was wondering if you can have different sources for images, most of the examples only have one

not using it - but it looks really interesting

Does anyone know of a good Configuration Server solution that has GitOps in mind? Nacos and Apollo are the most popular Configuration Servers, however Apollo doesn’t have any English docs. Nacos doesn’t have any “sync from a git repository” feature.

Other than that, it seems like there aren’t any solutions out there. There is CloudBees Rollout, but it’s proprietary and maybe more focused on feature flags, not configuration.

If this was for a purely k8s solution, I’d just use ArgoCD or Weave Flux and keep all the helm overrides in git.

I love LinkedIn memes
