DevOps

I saw MarkX 0.1.4 announced with Hugo support and pointed it at this blog, where Hugo already renders every post. It had nothing to add. It fits elsewhere: tables as data, link audits, objects as tables.

On 10 September my UDM’s WAN port renegotiated to 100 Mbps and stayed up. No alert fired, and the house sat at 178 ms for hours. I traced it to a cable and wrote a poller to catch it next time.

My uptime detection returns 1 at script scope, so it exits 0, and its runtime test passes. The static check fails it on line 5. IntuneScriptLab’s gate and Pester assertions put both in a pull request.

I run Invoke-ScriptAnalyzer -Severity Error with IntuneScriptLab’s rules loaded, and every Intune record disappears, Errors included. The wrapper puts those rules in PSScriptAnalyzer’s own pass.

OneLogin gives a role, a group and a policy nothing but a name, and a Smart Hook not even that. Teardown still has to delete only what my seed made, so each object is proved by what it holds.

The first PingOne seed I ran from Windows PowerShell 5.1 turned every accented and Han name into question marks. The fault was in how 5.1 encodes a request body, and all six providers in the module had it.

I opened the Okta provider expecting to write the ten-user post again with better numbers. The eight users are the same eight users. Nearly everything around them has been replaced.

Every login in the house resolved against one thin client, and the only spare machine ran Ubuntu. The second server became a container, and a bad image tag left me a replica that looked healthy.

Certbot on a timer, a deploy hook, and a Discord webhook whose only job was to tell me when the other two broke. Caddy does that work itself, so I moved the front door and deleted the rest.

Three hundred dollars a year for Ghost(Pro) to host forty posts, with a members list four rows long and one of them me. I was paying for a CMS to serve what had always been a static site. Moving it to Hugo on Azure Static Web Apps changed not one post URL.
