  See if a light weight kubernetes installation is for you. Secrets are first class citizens in k8s. You can make maintain secrets in a number of different ways, but they are exposed to containers the same way. They can become files or environment variables, whether you need.

  I recommend looking at k3s to run on your Pi and see if that works for you. You can add vault software on top of that later without changing your containers.

  I have one of my domains on Cloudflare and was thinking of moving the rest of them there. What makes it harder to move name servers away from Cloudflare than other places?

  1. This is not medical advice
  2. Ask your doctor
  3. Talk to the airline. They can at least tell you if they carry peanuts on their flights. And you should inform them if you go, to make sure the crew knows
  4. On overnight flights they often serve one or two full meals. I don’t recall being served peanuts on one, but it’s possible some of their meal options include nuts

  The percentage varies, but the federal government funds more than half.

  The Unicode standard allows, but recommends against, adding a BOM for utf8 files. Utf8 does not need them.

  I’ve only seen Microsoft tools adding that, and it breaks some parsers.

  Please don’t add BOM to utf8 files unless for some reason you need them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why would a UTF-8 MySQL backup contain invalid UTF-8 characters?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Character encoding and type coercion errors are so common. But a lot of bugs also come from programs trying to do “the right thing”. Like in OP’s case: they are just trying to import some data and maybe the data was never even intended to be interpreted as utf8, but the tool they are using to remove the commands wants to treat it that way. Sometimes the safest thing to do is to just assume data is binary until you care otherwise.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why would a UTF-8 MySQL backup contain invalid UTF-8 characters?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Not sure if this helps you, but for anyone working with utf8 and MySQL, it’s worth reading up on the details of their Unicode support. Especially the part where it says that ‘utf8’ is an alias for ‘utf8mb3’, which may not be compatible with what other systems consider to be ‘utf8’. If you aren’t careful with this you will have problems, especially with high code points, like emoji.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨LG monitor asking about ad tracking preferences⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This needs to go viral and be posted in reviews for every monitor with this “feature”. Heck, make a convenient warning icon indicating “adware” for such reviews so I can scroll past them faster.

  No way I’m risking buying a TV or monitor from LG after seeing this. It would go right back in the box to be returned.
