Kind notes

I'm surprised that there aren't any #Pokemon hiding in my lawn with how tall the grass is

Just had a power cut in Mapperley Park 😳

#GitHub Copilot seems pretty interesting - licensing issues aside - but I wonder if a better angle is adding test coverage rather than production code? Most folks find writing tests (especially on less loved codebases) more difficult than the code

Ikea's restaurant is open again - nature is healing 🥰

Lovely brunch with friends followed by my first vaccine is a good way to spend a Sunday! #TeamPfizer

Woop got my first and second vaccine booked 👏🏽💉

I've had SF to Berlin on repeat for most of the last day because I'd forgotten just how chill it is

I had some fun using the open standard #Microformats2 to update my CV to be machine-parseable - you can check it out at https://hire.jvt.me and there's a bit more info on https://www.jvt.me/posts/2021/05/25/microformats-resume/

After migrating my personal APIs to #Kubernetes, I've got a tonne of blog posts to write up 🙌🏼

Does anyone have an example of deprecating a media type from an #OpenApi spec? I've got a versioned media type that is being replaced with the new one, but can't seem to find any examples of how to do it 🤔

I'm looking forward to the #IndieWeb pop-up session tonight (https://events.indieweb.org/2021/05/webmentions-beyond-webmention-io-zG4JpHhZShVA) to talk about how we can improve the #Webmention experience for new IndieWeb folks

#Kubernetes peeps - is there a way to mount a Secrets volume as read-write and allow an application to write to it? I'm migrating code that expects a filesystem to persist secret changes to and am not sure if I'm trying to avoid rewriting too much?

Is anyone using #gitlab's Auto DevOps with a Maven/Gradle multimodule project? Thinking about maybe giving it a go, with deployment to GKE for ease of management of my services, but wanna find out if its suitable first, and how to pass secrets that would be in an application.properties on the host. Or I guess, do I need to rewire the app instead?

Hot damn I'm glad everyone's back on #Titanfall2 cause it's fun!

Nothing like a but of Phaeleh to soothe my soul while doing a stressful shop where it's busy, and there's a tonne of unmasked

Has anyone managed to use #Wiremock in a Java app and call the handlers without needing an HTTP server before? I've got it using Reflection but would prefer alternatives if possible 😅

Has anyone written #Java #Cucumber tests using cucumber-picocontainer recently? Looking at how to set up an object for a class that you don't control? Finding I can't easily instantiate it

Has anyone happened to see my post about #blogumentation shared anywhere today? Seeing a fair bit of traffic which suggests it's been made popular somewhere 🙃

Hey #ChefFriends how do you generally manage syncing a cookbook between Supermarket and #Chef Server? Wondered if there's anything currently out there to pull the cookbook and it's dependencies, in the right order to Server?

Reminder that it's #HomebrewWebsiteClub Nottingham tonight! I hope to see you there at 1730 for some website stuff, and maybe playing around with some of the stuff I mentioned at #TechNott! https://events.indieweb.org/2021/04/homebrew-website-club-nottingham-7uyCl6f2j0vV

Had a fun bug tonight with the new #ApexLegends "Second Chance" mode that, as I was being respawned, my team was wiped, but me and one teammate still respawned. I couldn't control anything but they could and managed to fight a bit longer even though we were dead 😂

Thanks to everyone who joined me last night at #TechNott for my talk about the #IndieWeb - you can find the recording of the video at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qFXOZww5mmE - I'll also look at getting it uploaded to Archive.org for longevity!

Happy #TechNott day all! Looking forward to seeing you later to hear a bit more about what the #IndieWeb is, and the ways you can get involved owning your data and building cool things for yourself https://www.technottingham.com/events/tech-nottingham-april-2021

Not only is today my own birthday, but tonight's #HomebrewWebsiteClub is celebrating its second birthday! 🎂 not included

Well it's my second lockdown birthday - here's hoping there won't be a third! Come to my website to enjoy the birthday balloons 🥳

Been wondering for a while - has anyone else seen the Sentinel in #ApexLegends has a hop-up slot? Do we know if it's a bug or a new hop-up planned?

Welp, backlog of webmentions from telegraph.p3k.io means you may see some poorly timed interactions from me - sorry 🙃

I find it nice seeing folks refreshing my blog on a Sunday night, waiting for my week notes to be there. Well, they are now 🙃

It's a good thing I'm preparing to reinstall my desktop cause rm -rf * in my home directory is not a fun thing to accidentally do 😳😬

Hey you, #Jenkins folks! If you're still configuring things in the UI / using Jenkinsfiles but haven't yet gotten around to looking into #JobDSL I've got you covered https://www.jvt.me/posts/2021/02/23/getting-started-jobdsl-standardised/

Well it's taken me a few years, but I've finally worked out how to manage Gems in #Chef without horrible chef exec bundle exec ... commands https://www.jvt.me/posts/2021/02/22/chefdk-gemfile/

Well it looks like I've now got refresh tokens working nicely on my #IndieAuth server - expect a write up tomorrow!

Highlight of the week was probably Jack Gough talking about #HomebrewWebsiteClub in a technical architecture meeting 😂

Welp if I still had that Dogecoin from all those years ago, I'd have 11k today 😥

It feels odd to suddenly have i.e. replies to tweets be sent ~90 seconds after I post the comment, instead of ~8 minutes later. Turns out that some tweaking of #Netlify settings, reducing some of the size of files on my site, and migrating from Netlify to #Cloudfront with a self-hosted shell #gitlab CI runner makes a big difference!

Managed to track down what the ~5 minutes of post processing was on my #Netlify site (thanks to the wonderful support from https://community.netlify.com/t/slow-deploy-times/30857/4) - now I wonder how else I can trim the deploy speed to something more reasonable

Folks who use #cloudfront for regularly changing sites (ie multiple times an hour) how do you handle caching? Is it off? Fine tuned for the content? Always cache invalidate on a publish?

Feeling especially lazy - does anyone have a good resource for setting up S3 + CloudFront + a custom domain name, with an IAM role that can only read/write to the bucket? My brain wants to outsource the work for this one 🙃

One of the perks of moving into my #NewHouse was that it'd allow me to go over to Lidl to get warm cookies whenever I wanted. It's been just over a month, and I've done it - starting the day with a warm, gooey cookie and a good cup of tea is the best ways to start a week 🍪🍵

Is there an alternative to the Web Share Target API that I can use for a #firefox #pwa on #android? I'm writing something for myself and it'd be cool to be able to share links directly to it

I know that's kinda the point, but I'm a little unsettled by #WandaVision
