Hey everyone, I have a new site and for my first project that I’m documenting, I’m going to go over some of the Gitops stuffs I’ve been playing with. As a start, I’m fairly new to the world of Gitops so I wanted to try my hand at a push-to-production pipeline that I can ad-hoc add commands from my IDE and see those changes instantly. There are a few pieces that I knew would play a part: ...

Hey everyone, So I wanted to learn a new language to add to my tool-belt and after long consideration, I decided on Golang. There were a few reasons for this but, the base reason is because I wanted to get into API developing and I thought Go would be good to learn. Go and Python have several similarities so it took a bit but, I followed guides and the training provided by Go and wanted to show a small project that I was able to do. ...

Hey guys, It’s been a while since my last post and there are several things to blame for that but, to keep it short, life has a way of ebbing and flowing with business. I’m back though, and for my first post back, I wanted to talk a bit about what I have been tinkering with. The first project I wanted to talk about was Gitlab Pipelines. I don’t normally use Gitlab for much but, there are uses for it and I wanted to take a foray into some pipelines in Gitlab. ...

Hey everyone, So recently I talked about the Git plug for Silverbullet and backing up my notes into Github. This has worked amazingly and I wanted to add the ability to make draft webpage that would be sent to my Hugo repository. I wanted to be able to make notes and the draft on Silverbullet and push that to Github without it firing off a pipeline but, when added to a certain folder, it will fire off a pipeline to push to my remote repository. ...

In a previous post, I talked a bit about a note-taking application called Silverbullet. Like I mentioned in that post, I have playing with it a bit and have found some use cases for it that I wanted to share. With v2 of Silverbullet, the CONFIG settings are a bit different so spawned this post. Some of the previous documentation for the plugs have incomplete or old information so I wanted to provide both an update on my Silverbullet use and small guide on getting the Git plug to work. ...

Hey everyone, So I was thinking of things to code, and recently I’ve been intreseted in Web Scraping. There is a lot that can be done with a web scraper but, I wanted to match something in my career. That’s why I made a CVE database web scraping, that way I could expedidate my Software Reviews. Just like most projects, I started with a requirements.txt file in a directory. The libraries I used for this are ...

Hey guys, So I wanted to have a few custom things happen when a member joined my guild on Discord. First I wanted a custom Gif to play and I also wanted their role to be set to the newb role. In order to do both of these, I needed the bot.event to be set on member join. Easy enough with @bot.event async def on_member_join(member): Next I needed the bot to pull the Channel ID for the #general chat. When I got that, all I needed to do ...

So I’ve been tinkering a bit with my Discord bot and recently got a request to add functionality to know how long someone has been in the Discord and associating it with a rank. Not too bad of an ask. I opened by Discord bot script I had been working on and got to work. The first thing I needed to add was a bot.event to listen for the set of words to trigger the action. ...

Hey guys, So I recently posted about self-hosting in an Azure VM a Silverbullet instance and it so far has worked wonders. The only issue is that I know those free Azure credits are going to run out at some point plus I already have everything Tailscaled together in my Tailnet so why not this as well? With Tailscale, I can do just that and there is even a function that will me hit it from anywhere outside my Tailnet as well. ...

Hey guys, So today I wanted to start off a new set of posts revolved around coding. I was thinking about what kind of project I wanted to work on and I thought, I’ve already done the pipeline series that featured a Discord bot, why not that. So to start on the bot, there were a few things I needed so I created a repo, git cloned it, and started on just that. ...
