AWS ECR Scan-on-Push Slack Notification

Wed, 26 May 2021 10:33:55 +0300

AWS ECR has a very nice integration with the open-source Clair project, which contains known vulnerabilities for container images.

They call this “image scanning”. You may trigger an image scan manually, or you can set “scan on push” on your ECR repository, so then every image uploaded to it will be automatically scanned.

The scan findings can then be retrieved either via the console or via the API, and are sorted according to their severity.

Hugo Strava Icon

Wed, 28 Apr 2021 23:15:43 +0300

Hugo mentions on its Github repository how to add custom social icons.

So, all you really need to do is to first download a Strava svg ( for my use case :D ) - I got one from simpleicons.org.

Then, open the downloaded .svg ith a text editor and copy the line inside it.

As the Hugo page mentions, paste that into your website’s svg.html file, transforming it as you like. Notice how your theme of choice handles the existing .svg icons and do the same.

Metabase Timeouts

Metabase ¹ provides a nice way to retrive business intelligence data from your databases, quickly and beautifully.

Expectedly, most users fall down the hole of executing heavier and heavier queries, and crash against the wall that is this message: “Your question took too long”. Timeouts.

Most advanced users will quickly realize that their proxy will need some special timeout header, or a value increment of it. However, there is another parameter hiding out there, that I happened to find recently, and relates to Jetty².

Hugo Custom Header - GNU Terry Pratchett

Tue, 02 Jun 2020 19:04:48 +0300

So, I recently migrated this site from Wordpress to Hugo. (Also I moved it from AWS to Netlify and I suggest you check out Netlify too if you have not done so already.)

But, I wanted to keep using the GNU Terry Pratchett headers and plugin, since Sir Terry remains my favourite writer and his books have given me too many new feelings, thoughts and ideas.

However, I could not find a mention on the plugin page on how to deploy the custom headers to Hugo, so I did it myself and I am going to leave it here in case someone else wants to use it, or generally add custom headers.
