Relating to pipedream / pipe-reality / change-pipe / pipe-log / pipely...
I did a little experimenting with purging requests and trying to get some thoughts together on how to purge all instances if there were multiple Varnish instances.

I like the idea of a test harness, nice job @Jerod Santo ...

Custom Feeds:
I remember the week that the custom feeds were hinted at in a New episode on a Monday and then that Friday Supercast broke and a whole bunch of ++ members including myself switched over to the custom feeds, and at that point I dropped the Supercast feed going all in on the custom feed.

It sounds like @Adam Stacoviak and @Gerhard need to adopt these new "features" earlier so you don't face regression bugs. :laughing:

:point_right: :nerd: :point_left: I'm a nerd... I just logged into changelog.com from my phone :-)

I'm anxious to see any videos from SREday!

Matt Johnson (Sep 21 2024 at 03:47):

just -n install and just install worked pretty cool.
I then ran just contribute ...and wow yeah, that does a lot!

It worked though:

Any other apps we should add to the list (and what is their URI format?)

The sound of Gerhards genuine happiness when he found out that you have started using zulip made my run today! Keep up the good work!

@Gerhard So interesting hearing about the experimentation with the tool just, I had added just to a couple of work repos as a simpler make. I've been considering how to migrate our deployment pipeline away from bash scripts to something like dagger/python, hoping it would be easier to maintain across a team of typescript/python engineers. I hadn't considered performance loss, just focused on easier maintainability.

I've been testing act for local GH actions development, I'm interested to look at the GH actions local runs described in this episode, is this the right PR to look at?

Gerhard (Dec 05 2024 at 10:38):

Hi @Luke Palnau :wave:

Migrating from bash scripts to a Dagger Python module makes a lot of sense! The most important distinction in that world is that the entire context starts in a container, and you are guaranteed version correctness (especially if you pin container images down to the sha256, which I highly recommend).

In terms of performance loss, this typically happens when you get QEMU involved (if building cross-platform images) or when the container runtime is not platform native (e.g. running Docker Desktop on macOS). It can also happen when you are shuttling a lot of context (source code & artefacts) to and back from Dagger. This usually happens with large repositories which have simplistic context filtering rules, meaning that the entire context gets uploaded on every call.

This is a good starting point: https://docs.dagger.io/adopting

https://github.com/thechangelog/changelog.com/pull/522 is when we switched from running Dagger on Fly.io to Namespace.so. This is using a really old version of Dagger which didn't have support for modules & functions.

As a generic, big picture, from scratch approach, my first thought is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g2E86Ke_RME

What is the outcome that you are trying to achieve? Based on your answer, I can recommend the simplest way of getting there.

From where I'm standing, we are all in on Zulip! :nerd:

Using it on Arc makes it feel like a native app. Here's a meta preview:
