Anyone else having trouble with the @digitalocean cloud control panel not loading properly? No side nav menu and a “Looks like something went wrong” message but status page says all is well. #ItIsNot

Avoid the risk by using Vault’s Transit and Transform Secrets Engines for encryption as a service and format-preserving encryption. Try it out today. bit.ly/4lPLWaz

Command palette coming to Ghostty, implemented with native UI of course. macOS initially but GTK will follow and be part of the same tagged release, since there's already a mostly complete open PR. Almost all keybinding actions available, will be able to customize entries too.
This is why I used Vault as an OIDC provider for my application. I have a write here for more implementation details hashicorp.com/blog/configuri…

Handling your own user Authentication can be a lot of work, storing creds in the DB ,hashing and salting etc …with things like OIDC/OAuth2 you don’t have to store user login creds and handle Authentication , you can just rely on the “big” tech companies to take care of it .
I literally just did this for the first time last week. I generate state and add it to the state param in the redirect url and also stored it in a redis. Then I do state validation on the callback function comparing the returned state to the one in redis, rejecting it if no match
Replying to @forgebitz
Your code doesn’t seem to be performing any state validation, meaning you’re open to CSRF attacks
It’s funny, I’m currently refactoring a codebase where I did originally deeply nest things and starting to see some potential pitfalls. It’s looking much flatter now.
Replying to @dbokser91
I don’t really deeply nest things, I try to keep code paths pretty flat. You don’t need early return to do that
This thread is the joy of computer science. Something is simple as early returns sparks so much difference of opinions. It’s not an exact science and there are strong points being made all over. I actually don’t know where I sit in this debate but it’s fascinating and insightful
I don’t even come on here that often these days but I had jump on to shout out @SefKombo for his radio hour show. These have been keeping me going whilst I work EVERY DAY!!!!!!. This week featured one of my favourites Oscar Mbo mixcloud.com/sefkombo/skrh-0… 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿

I'm looking for someone to help me design and build the Ghostty website. If you know a frontend person or team who understands and loves the terminal experience, please email me. Ideally a full stack thinker who can help guide the automated doc process. Paid, of course.

Last week, I was let go from Gitpod alongside some talented friends and colleagues.
As my contract terminates today, I'd like to thank you to Gitpod, our users and customers for trusting me to lead and serve the community for the last 3 years.
It was a real honour 🫶

Can someone please sponsor the @WomenInTechBrum meet-up 🙏 It’s the only space created in the city for Women in Tech and there’s no money behind it. The organisers are paying for meet-up fees out of their own pocket 🤯 Come onnnnnn!!
