Finding git base branch
While coding, from which base branch did I create this feature branch? This bash noscript helps me answer this question instantly, pretty useful in automation as well as my daily dev workflow.
What can be improved further?

laptop for Devops
Cloud services cost a lot, and the worst part is, you don’t even own the machine.
Initially, building a desktop PC appeared to be a cost-effective option. However, after accounting for additional expenses such as a UPS (due to frequent power outages), a monitor, and other peripherals, a laptop proves to be a better value in my situation.
Second hand market are a trap in Nepal.
Earlier I had i5 7th generation laptop with 16GB RAM. It would start to cry whenever I put more than three virtual machines. The host OS was windows 10 and guest OS was rocky linux minimal inside Hyper-V/Virtualbox. And I would like to keep it that way.
Thus I will require 32GB RAM.
And a solid processor should be non-negotiable. But I am not sure about which processor would be most value for money? i.e. give me highest ROI for the least amount of leap in budget?
My budget is around 500 US dollars or 65000 INR. It is 100K NPR(nepal price after tax and shit like that, not conversion value). I cannot go beyond that because I do not have further money as savings. (Currently unemployed)

Every Monday our dev server dies and I have to ping DevOps to restart 😩 — anyone else deal with this?
I’m working at a small SaaS startup.
Our dev & staging environments (on AWS EC2) randomly go down — usually overnight or early morning.
When I try to test something in the morning, I get the lovely “This site can’t be reached”.
Then I Slack our DevOps guy — he restarts the instance, and it magically works again.
It happens like 3–4 times a week, wasting 20–30 mins each time for me + QA.
I was thinking of building a small tool to automatically detect and restart instances (via AWS SDK) when this happens.
Before I overthink —
👉 does anyone else face this kind of recurring downtime in dev/staging?
👉 how do you handle it? (auto noscripts, CloudWatch, or just manual restart?)
Curious if it’s common enough that a small self-healing tool could actually be useful.

Trixter: A Chaos Proxy for Simulating Network Faults
>
Hey folks 👋
I’ve just published a post about **Trixter** — a high-performance chaos proxy written in Rust for simulating unreliable networks in CI/CD or staging environments.
Unlike Linux
Example use:
$ docker run --network host ghcr.io/brk0v/trixter \
--listen 0.0.0.0:8080 \
--upstream 127.0.0.1:3000 \
--api 127.0.0.1:8888
--delay-ms 300 \
--slice-size-bytes 128 \
--terminate-probability-rate 0.01
💡 Run tests with random seeds, and if something fails — extract the seed from logs and reproduce the chaos locally.

Unlike Linux
tc netem, it runs entirely in user space (no root, no kernel modules), and you can tweak network faults dynamically via REST JSON API — latency, throttling, loss, terminations, corruption, etc.Example use:
$ docker run --network host ghcr.io/brk0v/trixter \
--listen 0.0.0.0:8080 \

Anyone changed careers from DevOps to Data Science/ Engineering
I've been working as a DevOps Engineer for like 3 years now. I loved DevOps initially when I learned about Kubernetes and Cloud computing. I also liked System Design.
But with the actual work it feels like a pressuried job that you're responsible for the underlying platform all the time. Constant context switching and never ending tasks with broader scope is sometimes overwhelming. I really feel that development is a lesser stessful role compared to this.
I'm with a strong mathematical and engineering background. With that background I feel that data science / data engineering can be a much better field compared to this.
Anyone made the switch? Would love to hear your advices.
TIA

Why their response feels like a joke | shouldn’t they be restricting users from doing such things
Response from their team.
I’ve been using this e-learning platform for quite some time for Azure sandboxes, and out of curiosity, I tried editing the RBAC roles, and guess what? I actually could! I believe that’s the platform’s fault for not disabling such actions. I did end up doing things that were outside my allowed scope, which led to my account being suspended.
I contacted their support team about it, and while I understand their point that I wasn’t supposed to do it, I still think their response wasn’t ideal. Instead of investigating how I was able to make those changes and fixing the loophole to prevent others from doing the same, they simply expect me to refrain from doing it again. That doesn’t seem like the right way to handle the situation.
I also asked (before doing this) if there were any perks for reporting such platform issues, and they replied that no such program currently exists.

Cost of Secret Management - Don't let devs bother you
# The Hidden Cost of Secret Management: Developer Productivity
Day 1, New Developer:
PM: "Connect to the staging database"
Dev: "What's the connection string?"
PM: "Ask DevOps"
Dev: Opens Slack "Hey DevOps, need staging DB credentials"
DevOps: "Check the wiki"
Dev: Finds 3-year-old wiki page
DevOps: "That's outdated, I'll DM you"
DevOps: "Wait, I'm sure I've created a Vault in a specific account/sub for that, let me send a ticket to assign you roles/permissions"
3 hours later, developer can finally start working
This happens every sprint. For every new feature. For every environment.
# The Real Problem
It's not about where secrets are stored. It's about:
❌ No traceability \- Who changed the API key? When? Why?
❌ No collaboration \- PM can't see what configs exist, DevOps doesn't know what developers need
❌ No audit trail \- Compliance asks "who accessed prod secrets?" → checks Slack history
❌ No versioning \- Which version of the app needs which secrets?
❌ Lost productivity \- 2 hours per developer per sprint hunting for credentials
# What OneSeal Changes
Treat platform outputs like code:
# DevOps: Generate from infrastructure
oneseal generate terraform.tfstate --name @company/platform-staging
# Commit to git (encrypted)
git add platform-staging/
git commit -m "feat: add new S3 bucket for uploads"
git push
# Developer: Install like any dependency
npm install @company/platform-staging
In code:
import { State } from '@company/platform-staging';
const config = await new State().initialize();
console.log(config.s3.uploadBucket); // TypeScript knows this exists
console.log(config.database.host); // Autocomplete works
# What This Enables
For Developers:
✅ Onboarding: `npm install` instead of 2-hour credential hunt
✅ No typos:
✅ Offline work: No VPN needed for config access
✅ Self-service: No waiting on DevOps for every environment
For DevOps:
✅ Infrastructure as code → config as code (same workflow)
✅ No more "what's the bucket name?" Slack messages
✅ Deploy new infrastructure → regenerate SDK → developers get updates
✅ Revoke access: Remove public key, regenerate
For Product/Management:
✅ Git history shows what changed, when, and by whom
✅ PR reviews for configuration changes
✅ Rollback configs like code: `git revert`
✅ Audit trail: Every secret access is logged in git
For Compliance/Security:
✅ Complete audit trail (who, what, when)
✅ Environment isolation (dev keys can't decrypt prod)
✅ Asymmetric encryption (each person has own key)
✅ No shared secrets
# The Workflow
DevOps sets up once:
# Generate keypairs for team
oneseal generate-key # Per developer
oneseal generate-key --output ci.key # For CI/CD
# Generate SDK with multiple recipients
oneseal generate terraform.tfstate \
--public-key alice.pub \
--public-key bob.pub \
--public-key ci.pub \
--name @company/platform-infra
Developers consume:
// No Slack messages
// No wiki hunting
// No waiting on DevOps
import { State } from '@company/platform-infra';
const config = await new State().initialize();
Product tracks changes:
git log platform-infra/
# See exactly what changed between releases
git diff v1.0.0 v1.1.0
# Compare configurations across versions
# Security Model
Each environment has different encryption keys
Developer with
Production keys only in CI/CD and production infrastructure
Cryptographic isolation, not trust-based access control
# The Result
Before OneSeal:
New feature → 2 hours getting credentials
Environment broken → hunt through Slack for config
Compliance audit → reconstruct timeline from memory
Secret rotation → update 10 places manually
After

What category of software am I looking for?
The requirement from the business is:
As part of our running software we want to be able to 'send events' to a central place, and have other software consume them.
These 'events' might be informational or an error that has been hit.
Not huge volume, but important and very specific info about what has happened.
Like data processing of X data item from Y provider failed because Z reason.
We then want downstream services and guis to be able to subscribe to these 'events'.
Like in the above example, we might care about more providers than others.
Originally we thought this sounds like a logging problem, but I'm having my doubts about that. Realtime/push/apis being the main thing.
The more I dig, the more it sounds like this should be a solved problem and my googling is not helping.
I google event software and get random software to help organise events.
Is this a solved problem? maybe something that sits on top of a logging platform.

Loglens - complete log analysis with easy to learn syntax
hey guys
I recently made a new tool for log analysis.
It allows you to search and query your JSONL files with a more natural language syntax than your usual SQL/jq/grep/awk filters. It has a stats command to get all the important statistics for your files, and a smart TUI that can look into any log file of any size. Much focus has gone into performance and making sure it can parse very large files. It's faster than a standard jq or gunzip pipeline for querying because of the multi core processing. You can read zipped files directly without unzipping them first as well.
It's free to try out so let me know what you think if you find this useful. I'm quick to add new features so if there's something you think the tool should definitely be able to do let me know!

Need Advice in Upskilling for Network Dev Engineer/Cloud Engineer Positions
Hey y'all, I've been searching the job market for Network Engineering positions and nearly all of them require CI/CD, Terraform or IaC, and Kubernetes experience. Trouble is, coding is my worst skill and I don't use these cloud services in my day job. I can read and understand Python but don't ask me to create something. If I study these core skills will my coding match up to what is needed?
I currently have my CCNA and AWS SAA certifications. But I'm stuck on where to study and skill up in next.
I have considered the following and curious is any of these certifications will give me the core knowledge for those skills in a NDE/Cloud Engineer role.
* Cisco DevNet Associate - seems too Cisco centric
* AWS DevOps - looks like it has core skills for CloudFormation but not Terraform. Maybe CI/CD?
* CKA - I've seen this one pop-up a lot on reddit, only touches on one of the skills
* CCNP-ENCOR with CCSDWI core - SDWAN core certification - network heavy obviously but some API exam topics. After all, it is software-defined.
* If there is a crash course in Python for these skills I'm definitely open to that as well
Any feedback and guidance is appreciated

Overemployed Setup. Share your equipment, audio streams, and KVM options.
I'm thinking about how to improve my setup to be more comfortable managing both jobs, maybe even getting another one.
I'd like to know the setups of my more experienced overemployed friends. What do they use and how do they use them? Do they listen to everything through the same headset? Do they use a sound mixer? Do they have a dedicated microphone for each job? Do they use a KVM switch?

Stop losing customers to slow load times. What's you worst bounce rate experience ?
Hii,You guys!
I want to share something with you all, for months my co-founder and i were really really losing our minds. we did spend serious money on Google Ads to bring people to our store and What! only to watch them bounce before the product image even loaded fully. We were literally paying for traffic just to frustrate people. We really tried every possible complicated speed plugin its either broke our site or made zero difference.
We eventually got so damn fed up that we decided to build the thing we actually needed and created "Website Speedy" tool because we were tried of being tied up knots over speed optimization. If your site is moving slowly, you're not just annoying the customers but you're throwing money away on Ads.
Okay has anyone else been absolutely by slow load times? And What was your biggest 'I quit' moment ? Tell me.

How do you test IaC nginx configs in CI before deploying?
Our team would like to store nginx configs in git and deploy them via Gitlab CI/CD + Ansible. That idea sounds pretty smart to me as it helps to follow and check any changes we want to make in nginx configs and with proper checking process it should reduce amount of errors.
My first impulse was to pass changed configs into nginx docker container in CI job and run nginx -t in it but heres a problem that I have bumped into: you cant check configs without failure if you have not exact same copy of files that you are including into configs, for example snippets, keys and etc. But this is a sensitive information and I dont want to reflect secrets in git however I also cant ignore those included files in configs because I'm going to deploy them in later stage of pipeline. My stupid idea is to store empty dummy files which nginx could open without failures so we can check syntax of configs and deploy them if checks are passed.
Im not sure that this solution is optimal. GPT gives me the same solution but maybe I could find any brilliant idea here or just learn something new. So how do you keep nginx in IaC? Do you just write new configs and instantly deploy them or do you check them beforehand and if yes how do you do that?

Diagram tools
Hi everyone, which diagram tools you use to create infrastructure diagrams? I personally like Lucid but it’s not free, alternative is Draw.io but it feels outdated. Which diagram tools would you recommend?

AI tools in DevOps
Hi all, I am just wondering how AI tools are adopted in your DevOps teams? I feel like DevOps is critical role and tool(s) selection is crucial. In my team, on a enterprise client project, we’re limited to GitHub copilot, but I see a lot of cool AI tools that might help in everyday tasks. One good example that I miss from my previous project is OpenCommit which generates commit messages using AI. Are you currently using any AI tools and how?
