Project Description

The Commanded Elixir CQRS framework provides an EventStoreDB adapter that uses TCP protocol which is being phased out.

Motivation

When automating tasks often the requirement comes up to retry commands, for example when network connections are involved and commands do not return successfully immediately or if resources are temporarily not available. Sometimes a simple for-loop in bash is sufficient. Sometimes it is necessary to use additional waiting between retries, sometimes timeouts are desired. Getting all those combinations right can be tedious and error-prone so a generic "retry" command should be available in usual environments so we should provide a retry command to openSUSE distributions.

Project Description

This is a continuation of last year project:

Hack Week 23

Project Description

Project Description

At my home we have solar PV hooked up to Victron inverter/chargers and a Redflow ZCell battery for energy storage. The setup is described in detail on my blog. By their nature, ZCell flow batteries needs to undergo a maintenance cycle at least every three days, where they are discharged completely for a few hours. Having only one battery, this means we can't use the "minimum state of charge" feature of the Victron kit to always keep some charge in the battery in case of outages, because doing so conflicts with the ZCell maintenance cycles. This isn't a problem if you have more than one ZCell, because the maintenance cycles interleave in that case, but so far we only have one of these things. If I want to keep charge in the battery for emergency purposes on non-maintenance days, I can do that by configuring scheduled charge settings manually on the Victron Cerbo GX console, but then I have to remember to turn those things back off (or otherwise adjust the settings) for the next maintenance day. For this hack week, I'm going to see if I can automate that piece somehow.

Project Description

I've got an old Borderless Electronics board (Arduino Leonardo clone) and will be following the built in examples in the Arduino website using the components I have around.

Project Description

Back in June 2018, G. Branden Robinson submitted a 26-patch series intending to fix quilt's manual page, addressing both contents and technical issues with the roff formatting. I went through the whole series and reviewed it carefully. I recall I had many objections so there was a significant amount of work needed, including reordering some of the patches, before resubmitting a patch series I would consider committing. Unfortunately, the contributor vanished before resubmitting, and all the work from both sides went to oblivion.

Project Description

The issue is described in the OBS GitHub project: https://github.com/openSUSE/open-build-service/issues/12649

Project Description

Project Description

Running a web browser from your PC can cause all sorts of security or anonymity issues; e-g: content downloaded could be run automatically from your PC, resulting in disk encryption or other unpleasant events. It would be great if we could run most of this in a container so that we have as much of the web browser sandboxed, and limit the PC's exposure to security events.

Project Description

USB devices can be dangerous to read directly from your PC. There are countless stories of PCs being infected (e-g: filesystem encrypted) because a USB device was read without first checking the USB content. But how do you check the device content without having a look at it first?!

Many projects rely heavily on CI jobs, e.g. based on github actions. We already had ideas for tight integration of openQA into such workflows for years, e.g. in https://progress.opensuse.org/issues/48641

Project Description

We have a lot of solutions for the Edge like: Rancher, k3s, Elemental, SLE Micro but we don't have a complete end to end example solution the deliver these. For example if a Edge device at a customer location fails somebody without any knowledge should be able the replace the device. The installation and provisioning should be automatic, this should also be for new devices.

The idea is to create a CLI / web tool for managing and automatically syncing (mirroring) images to a custom registry. This would be an interesting project that would result in a helpful tool that can save time and reduce human error (mistagging).

Project Description

Learning and retaining information is one of the biggest challenges for programmers. So if there was a way to increase the efficiency of one's learning, it would be very useful. Luckily, there is such a thing: spaced repetition. TLDR: you create flashcards, each of which contains one piece of information you want to remember, and review them at intervals that psychology has determined are optimal for learning.

Project Description

The hierarchical namespaces project in Kubernetes allows us to organize namespaces in a tree structure. But, since it is just a layer on top of vanilla Kubernetes, it doesn't offer an API to do anything more complex with that tree structure.

Project Description

Currently, the way to install Rancher in Air-Gap mode (with personal registry server) is using the rancher-save/load-images.sh script to save container images required by Rancher into tar.gz tarball and load it into the personal registry. These scripts work fine when saving and loading single-arch images.

Project Description

Now that Uyuni proxy can be run as containers this project is about deploying it using Elemental and Fleet.

I have three hundred and eighty four openSUSE 12.1 DVDs. Given 12.1 went end of life almost ten years ago, it seems likely these DVDs are useless. Rather than toss them out I've decided to try to turn them into some form of art.

5 small projects in one hack week

I always try to take on something bigger than I can complete in Hackweek, and then wallow in my frustrations for weeks after. This time I'm doing something different: one small project every day; 5 accomplishments; 5 successes. I invite you to join me. Post your mini-projects in the comments.

Project Description

The aim is to create a desktop Linux distribution with immutable root file system and Xfce desktop as user interface.

Motivation

I already have photovoltaics installed on the roof of my house. For years I was looking into home energy storage solutions but commercial offers are too expensive to provide a positive RoI so it is necessary to atleast assemble some parts by hand. I don't feel confident to build individual battery packs together and run multiple kWh in my house for years so I am going with "mid-level components", i.e. commercial off the shelf battery systems and power inverter.
