multiple projects, then the support exists that flags don’t clash with each other\nMulti Agent\nYou might need multi agents, e.g. a dashboard and a landing page (like flags.gg)\nMulti environment\nYou hopefully will have multiple environments, e.g. production and development\nSecret Menus\nEach environment can have its own secret menu, and its own trigger, so for example development might want to test something, rather than having to goto flags.gg to activate that thing, instead you trigger the secret menu, and turn it on for just you, and since by default secret-menus are disabled, you don’t need to worry about general users turning on features that you havent yet finished but are in production behind a flag\nUser invites, and company invite codes\nYou might need more than you on the the system, in which case you can invite someone onto your company account, and they can maniupulate the flags\nIn Works Features RBAC\nThose people you invited, everyone is currently an admin, this needs to change so that people can have different permissions, granular to the environment\nConflict Flags\nYou might need to have conflict flags, e.g. v1 and v2, well those cant be on at the same time, so turning one on should turn the other off\nEnvironment Promotion\nIf you create a flag in development, then you should be able to promote that flag into production, rather than having to create it again\nTraffic Based Flags\nIf you want 10% if your users to see a feature turned on to test it out, then that should be an option\nServerside Libraries\nYou might want to integrate feature flags into your Go, Python, or NextJS serverside, whilst these wont be secret-menu triggerable they should at least be an option, at the moment only clientside for React/NextJS works, but they will be coming\nVue Library\nAt the moment only React/NextJS is supported, but we are developing a vue library aswell, this is on a slow burn because we don’t use vue internally\nTimeline of future features

extreme (mainly because I don’t have a lot of automated products) but enough that it has made an impact on my life, I have the following automations\nAutomatic lights in a few rooms Kitchen: the light comes on when you enter the room, and only turns off after it has been vacant for 5 minutes (if your stood at the stove and haven’t moved much I don’t want the light to go off) Dining Room: light comes on when you go past a sensor in the hall/stairs (there isn’t a sensor in the dining room) Living Room: light comes on when you enter the room, and goes off if there is no activity for 5 minutes and the TV isn’t on (sat at the sofa watching something shouldn’t turn the lights off) Stairs: Turn on when you enter the stairs either from the top or the bottom, turn off after 1 minute of no activity Bedroom: Turn on in the morning, turn off when everyone “should” have left the bedroom Future plans There are plans for future automations, every room has a temperature sensor in it, and will have wall heaters (I live in the UK) that turn on when the sensor detects the temperature not the heater detecting the temperature, this is to avoid it thinking “I’m nice and warm and 10ft from the nearest person screw them”\nWhere do the iPads come in I decided that it would be nice to have a way of controling the house on a simple interface, now I can just get wireless buttons that do things, I have automatic light switches, so thats not a problem, but what if you want to know the temperature, or want to know the house calendar items, well thats where a visual interface comes in\nEveryone in the house has a phone that is connected to HomeAssistant but I want something that isn’t required to be on the network or know the address (e.g. if a guest wants to turn the heater on)\nSo with that I have decided to stick an iPad on the wall in every room in the house, not just a tablet specificly an iPad, well that was a fun idea\nWhats the problem I went on eBay and set about getting cheap used iPads these were the following “so far”\n1 iPad 1st gen (iOS 5.1) 2 iPad 2nd gen (iOS 9.3) 1 iPad 3rd gen (iOS 9.3) 1 iPad Mini 1st gen (iOS 9.3) 1 iPad Mini 2nd gen (iOS 12.5) I got all of these for a grand total of ₤100, which is cheaper (at time of writing) than 2 raspberry pi’s, that doesn’t sound too bad, well anything below iOS 10 can’t interface with Home Assistant due the way the website is written, infact most websites written in the last 3 years can’t really be accessed from these devices\nSo how to solve this issue, VNC is your friend, pretty much every device needs a web connection to home assistant, so for each of them there is a seperate headless VNC server running Firefox this then runs on my kubernetes cluster, then the issue is getting VNC on the devices, well because I don’t want these iPds on my or the families apple account, they are on a seperate account\nSo the latest iOS iPad can still (for now) download apps from the app store, all the others are jailbroken with the only app really installed is an app called aDowngrader what this allows me to do is download VNC on the latest iOS, then on the older iPads it pulls the version that is the oldest compatiable with that iPad\nI then run VNC on these in “touch panel” mode, which means there isn’t a cursor, and it behaves as you would expect a native iPad to behave\nNow I can run a newer version of Firefox that the iPad supports without worry (or at least not the worry of that)\nExploding Batteries Another “fun” part about iOS is that it didn’t have any over-voltage/battery protection until iOS 11.3 so Home assistant also has the following automation setup\nDetect the battery percentage as reported by Apple using “find my” If the battery is below 20% turn on the plug used to charge the iPad If the battery is above 80% turn off the plug used to charge the iPad The optimal amount of fill most batteries if they are plugged in all the time is about 80% so this has a buffer to turn on and off the plug\nRecomendations If you were to do this, and you don’t care about e-waste then I would say get a cheap Fire tablet from Amazon and do it that way, if on the other hand you want to avoid throwing away devices that “should” be fine to access websites, that is how you do it\n","date":1675503477,"expirydate":-62135596800,"kind":"page","lang":"en","lastmod":1675503477,"objectID":"6c745eaf4eed76c2099dde12341c7cb4","permalink":"https://keloran.dev/post/ipads/","publishdate":"2023-02-04T09:37:57Z","relpermalink":"/post/ipads/","section":"post","summary":"Old

darkmode in the “easy” method, which is to inverse(100%) everything now this makes general emails really easy, the problem is when you get to images, because inversed images are horrible to look at\nSo I got bored over new year, and decided I was sick of looking at them, and because I use Dracula for everything, I set off on my journey\nDracula Now Dracula is an awesome set of themes, that has pretty much support in every app that most devs use, if it doesnt then its probably coming soon\nMailspring Mailspring is an email client that was started by the people who did N1, which is another mail client, the reason I use it is because non webmail clients are becoming harder and harder to find and this one also supports Gmail, iCloud, and most important to me IMAP\nThe Journey begins The problem of inverse images has existed in mailspring for a while, and there is no easy solution for this, and the “fix” I implemented is not a solution by any stretch of the imagination, it is a bandaid\nThe first thing I did was look at how the them did its thing, I was hoping it was a sensible method of doing style replacement, or a clever method of doing the same thing, instead if like all darkmode in Mailspring was doing inverse(100%) on email content this is not good, because it means every element is inversed and I had to re-inverse or stop the inversion on images\nSo that was the intial tact find the “img” tags and stop the inversion, this worked and was a lot easier than I thought, horray, so clicked through some emails and everything seemed fine, that was until I got to an email that was using “background-image” and now the problem exited again, damn it\nI wasn’t the first to notice that background image inversion was nasty, it was spotted reported in 2018 and in 2021 it was moved to the forum, so this bug has existed for a while\nLuckly because Mailspring supports themes and plugins and is written in electron, I can hijack the element and inject some JS into it, so I did it with brute force and got it working\nexport default class BackgroundImageFix extends MessageViewExtension { static renderedMessageBodyIntoDocument({document, message, iframe}) { const frameDocument = iframe.contentWindow.document; const tags = frameDocument.querySelectorAll(\u0026#34;*\u0026#34;); tags.forEach(tag =\u0026gt; { let fixInvert = false; if (getComputedStyle(tag).backgroundImage !== \u0026#39;none\u0026#39;) { fixInvert = true; } if (tag.tagName === \u0026#34;IMG\u0026#34;) { fixInvert = true; } // using this method so more can be added later if (fixInvert) { tag.style.filter = \u0026#34;invert(1)\u0026#34;; tag.style.color = \u0026#34;#000\u0026#34;; } }) } } Released Now this method is not good, its very system intensive, but it works, and it gets destroyed and re-initiated on each mail opened, which is the nature of the plugins in mailspring\nBut it works, and is now part of the Dracula official theme for Mailspring\n","date":1673302797,"expirydate":-62135596800,"kind":"page","lang":"en","lastmod":1673302797,"objectID":"9ac9c911b22d0a8e44b2e23fe8d955bd","permalink":"https://keloran.dev/post/mailspring_inverse/","publishdate":"2023-01-09T22:19:57Z","relpermalink":"/post/mailspring_inverse/","section":"post","summary":"Inverse

64Gb DDR4-3200 1TB SN850 US Keyboard UK PowerSupply Expansions MicroSD 250Gb DisplayPort 2x USB-C USB-A I decided to get the UK powersupply so that my wife could keep using my MBPs for her work laptop and it means that I have a pretty small power supply that can also be used with my soldering iron\nOrder Experience So I wouldn’t say that purchasing the laptop was the smoothest experience, I put this down to the fact that the company hasn’t been around for very long, there is a war going on, and there is a global chip shortage, and a pandemic is still going on, but some of the communication could have been better\nSo I ordered my laptop on the 4th of March (I originally ordered on the 15th of Feb, but had to cancel that order) the “Batch” I was in was supposed to be delivered at the end of March\nI experienced a few delays,\non the 31st of March, I got an email saying that due to a covid issue, the packaging, and at the same time a national holiday in Taiwan, so my order would be delayed for at least 4 days on the 8th of April, I got an email saying that due to the global chip shortage my hdd wasn’t in stock, and my ordered would be delayed for at least 4 more days You will have noticed that 4 days seem to be missing on when there was no communication of if my order was being dealt with, I finally got a shipping notice on 13th and then my laptop arrived on the 20th\nLaptop Experience I decided that because I was going to daily drive Linux, I went with EndevourOS as my dist of choice, this is based on Arch with a few tweaks\nI went with XFCE as my DE, but quickly decided to change to Sway, now what I should have done is reinstalled the OS with Sway as a choice, because Endevour has a Sway option which could have saved my some time, but all of my stuff works despite doing it manually when I didn’t have to\nI hit one big problem which is that my eGPU didn’t/doesn’t really work with the laptop this is more of a linux issue, because people have got it working fine on Windows, so I am instead using an Anker Apex as my dock to connect to my peripherals, and a thunderbolt-\u0026gt;displayport\nnow you might be thinking why am I not using the displayport expansion card, well at the same time as this happening my new work laptop arrived which is an M1 and cant use the eGPU at all, so in order to swap between I went with a cable so that I could use the full resolution (Apex doesnt support 5120x1440 over HDMI)\nRecommendation Would I recommend a Framework laptop, I would have to say yes and no, if you need a laptop tomorrow, then no a Framework laptop won’t arrive in time, if you want something that has some cool features and an okay keyboard and an interesting aspect ratio screen then yes\n","date":1650963764,"expirydate":-62135596800,"kind":"page","lang":"en","lastmod":1650963764,"objectID":"d1e1dd29ac9a26a899c4fbd3a60ef963","permalink":"https://keloran.dev/post/framework_laptop/","publishdate":"2022-04-26T10:02:44+01:00","relpermalink":"/post/framework_laptop/","section":"post","summary":"Framework

is I wanted it installed in the Vault namespace\nhelm install connect 1password/connect \\ --set-file connect.credentials=1password-credentials.json \\ --namespace vault Install OnePassword Vault Backend I did this part quite different, because I’m using longhorn as my storage I know that its persistent so I can login to the vault image and change the file structure\nSo the first thing I did was go into the kubernetes dashboard (rather than doing it through terminal direct, and mounting it as a proxy), and then opened a terminal into the vault pod\nBecause I have my vault running on ARM nodes, I wget the ARM zip, unzipped into the correct folder, renamed the file that comes out of the zip to op-connect, rather than vault-plugin-secrets-onepassword_v1.0.0\nThen I followed the instructions in the guide\nAs I say this isn’t a perfect guide, but hopefully it helps others and me when I rebuild my cluster in the future\n","date":1641834844,"expirydate":-62135596800,"kind":"page","lang":"en","lastmod":1641834844,"objectID":"1f14f1c351bc9537b07241be0f3a39b7","permalink":"https://keloran.dev/post/1password_vault_kubernetes/","publishdate":"2022-01-10T17:14:04Z","relpermalink":"/post/1password_vault_kubernetes/","section":"post","summary":"Integrating

votes per column per person are allowed - default: 3 votes per person, per column How long topic creation should be - default: 5min How long topic discussions should be - default: 5min Sprint Leader - default: dictated at setup - can be chosen at “new retro” Initial Usage Sprint leader starts the board once everyone has logged in, everyone can create topics - topics are hidden from each other to stop influence of topic discussion, if the sprint leader presses the stop button, or the timer runs out (at 30 seconds a button appears to extend time by 1min) there is an option to finish your ticket if you have one in draft after all drafts are finished, the topics are un-hidden and the leader can group the topics once the topics have been grouped (if needed to be grouped), leader can press the “start vote button” each user then can do the number of votes per column allowed (multiple votes per topic allowed) {you can also remove a vote} - votes are hidden during voting when voting timer runs out, or everyone has done their votes (+ 30 seconds to let people change their mind) votes are shown and highest voted topics are sorted by highest number leader chooses a topic to talk about and timer begins (at 30 seconds a button appears to extends the time by 1min) at end of timer, leader has an option to create an action (e.g. better biscuits) once all topics have been discussed a tally is made of the topics and a score is given for the sprint, - +1 for continue - +2 for good - -1 for bad Future Usage This performs the same as initial the only difference is that before the topic creation can begin, the list of actions from last retro are displayed to see if they have been performed, and if not they are auto rolled into the actions for this retro\nGithub Site\nCompany

that has been registered by you for your cluster\nthe agent in the cluster listens to the queue for instructions to go get a new deployment, the agent then goes and grabs any resources that are required for your deployment (container image for example) and deploys it\nit then sends a message back to the orchestrator to say if it was successful or not\nAgent There is an agent that sits in your cluster, it is the only one that knows any secrets in your cluster (e.g. registry logins)\nListening The agent either listens on 1 or 2 topics\n1: Agent specific topic that is only known by your agent, and the orchestrator which only knows an agentid (the orchestrator has no knowledge of any secrets or any other details) 2: an opt-in choice of auto update, there will be updates to the agent to add new functionality and it is upto you during the setup process of the agent if you want this to be done automatic or when you wish Orchestrator This sits on K8sdeploy, this asks agents for some details, e.g. deployment names, and namespaces, this is so that when an action is triggered it can direct the agent to do the correct things\nThe orchestrator gets a signal from a github action to do a deployment, depending on if the action has a valid key, it then looks for that key finds an agents associated with that key, and then triggers a deployment signal on the queue for that agent to go do the deployment\nGithub Action This sits in your github workflow, and can tell the orchestrator to do a deployment if the workflow is successful (e.g. build a new website)\nWebsite / Dashboard This
