GitHub - azat-io/actions-up: 🌊 Interactive CLI tool to update GitHub Actions to latest versions with SHA pinning 🌊 Interactive CLI tool to update GitHub Actions to latest versions with SHA pinning - azat-io/actions-up

Released Actions Up for interactive GitHub Actions updates. 🔼

It replaces floating version tags with commit SHAs for better security.

Good morning ☕️

Yes! Slow internet is a feature for patience training!

Yeah, but check out the trending stories…

“What makes *these articles* so unappealing” 😆

"Oh, wow! This product looks awesome!"

...checks pricing...

"Oh, I guess I need to convince myself it's not as awesome as I thought" 😞

Nobody:

Me: I think I’ll try replacing the battery and thermal paste on my MacBook

😳

Still frame from a video of me about to say something

What am I about to say here?

So what exactly do you do?

Thanks for taking a look. Yeah, unfortunately no remote option at this time (would need to be on-site in NYC, Austin TX, or Los Angeles CA)

Looking for your next DevOps role? 👀

I have received multiple emails from a hair transplant company asking if they can sponsor a video on my [DevOps] YouTube channel 💀

Don’t get me started on the follower lobbies

Follow up!

Were you able to develop/intuit the whole thing or did you have to look up and memorize the algorithms?

I can intuit the first two layers but have to look up the algos for the final layer

Same, but _thrice_ and _garlic_

Getting hand, foot, and mouth was not on my bingo card for 2024, but here we are 😳

For anyone who has gotten it as an adult, how screwed am I? (I already have the worst sore throat I can remember)

Apple Picking - Over 30 Varieties of Apples Come pick your own apples! We have over 30 varieties of apples on over 40K trees. A great family fall outing and activity in central Massachusetts.

I went apple picking here in the fall tougasfamilyfarm.com/apple-picking/

They had at least 5x more honeycrisp than anything else! 😅

Honeycrisp is my other top choice!

Snacking on a Granny Smith with peanut butter right now! 😋

Potentially controversial opinion: granny smith’s are an s-tier apple 🍏

Not a fan at all! (My toddler has this right now, too 😢)

I just switched sidpalas.com, devopsdirective.com, and courses.devopsdirective.com from Plausible to GoatCounter 🐐

I used to self host Plausible, but:
1. The free credits for the VM I was running on expired
2. A couple of times the clickhouse instance storing event data filled up the disk with logs

I debate whether or not to purchase things (or which option to buy) long enough that if I spent that time doing client work I could just pay for the item with the extra money... 🙈

Nap trapped.

Security pro tip: if you find a USB key on the ground somewhere, DO NOT plug it in to your home computer.

Take it to the office and plug it in there. They have way better software that will mitigate any threats.
