`.rules`

Reply in thread

I just wrote a post on how to use this to automatically disable/enable your laptop keyboard on plugging/unplugging your custom keyboard. Just one example.

In general, it allows you to set rules and automation about handling devices on the kernel level and comes with systemd (so most modern Linux distros have it by default, even Arch Linux)

Towonel: Open Source drop-in Cloudflare Tunnel alternative

Reply in thread

Very similar.

The main differences are that those projects are highly configurable and can do a lot of things, while towonel is simpler: opinionated/streamlined for use as a shared Cloudflare tunnel alternative. I also think towonel may be the only one to use QUIC for the tunnel, just like Cloudflare.

Besides that, towonel is very new and still in alpha. Rathole does not seem to be actively developed anymore, which can be a good or bad thing.

Towonel: Open Source drop-in Cloudflare Tunnel alternative

For those who block Lemmy.world :


Towonel: Open Source drop-in Cloudflare Tunnel alternative

So you don't want to port-forward on your home router or have Cloudflare decrypt all your traffic? Check out Towonel.

Most open source Cloudflare Tunnel alternatives involve setting up a VPS, terminating TLS there on a reverse proxy, then setting up a Wireguard tunnel to your server at home.

Towonel is different: it does not decrypt your traffic on the VPS and you can easily share one, so not every self-hoster has to buy and maintain a VPS.

Check it out!

Automated changelog generation

Reply in thread

Thanks for your feedback!

Some thoughts:

  • You could configure your cliff.toml (generated with git-cliff --init) to ignore any commits that aren't interesting to your users
  • You could use "squash merge" to the prerelease/staging/development branch so that you can commit without worry, and then only have your PR titles follow conventional commits (if the change is interesting to your users)

I should probably add those to the blog.

But yeah, I get preferring to write manual tailored changelogs. Personally I am just a little neurotic about single source of truth and a huge Git nerd. And I know that at least in this job, my users are neurotic enough to prefer completeness.

Fresh CKS (and CKA) tips and takeaways

Reply in thread

Thank you for the feedback, could you be more specific?

Is it crossposting? Or Kubernetes-specific content in /c/programming?

Or giving tips on how to practice for specific certification exams?

Or do you dislike the prose format? Too much context? Do you prefer bullet points?

Or is it that I put an image while the link should be the focus? I see now that in my client I have to click through to the original post first to see and visit the URL
