No security and quality setup in github. No dependabot action. 121 open issues labeled as bugs. In this day and age, the bare minimum to let something like this near my backups isn't being done here. Sucks, but here we are.

Re:Obsidian Sync now has a headless client

I gave up on iCloud sync.
After the tenth time iCloud absolutely destroyed my vault’s file layout and scattered copies of my files all over my iCloud Drive, I just gave up and shell out for paid sync now. It’s fine. I don’t mind paying for things I get actual value from.

Don't put your API keys as parameters in your URL. Great way to have them land in server logs, your shell history, etc. You're trusting no one with decryption capabilities is doing logging and inspection correctly, which you shouldn't.

Starship only supports this in PowerShell for whatever reason.
Edit: Doh. I see what you linked to now. Yea, maybe it does work in more than just PowerShell now?
Transient prompt basically removes your prompt decorations and replaces it with just `>` in your scroll back history in your shell sessions. In my case it's a slightly more complex transient prompt (datetime and exit code of the command), but still greatly simplified.
Makes cut-and-paste of history in to docs and stuff super nice.

Whoa. Who at Google thought providing this as an example of how to test your API key was a good idea?
This is shown at the top of the screen in https://aistudio.google.com/apikey as the suggested quick start for testing your API key out.
Not a great look. I let our GCloud TAM know. But still.

That was the same thing that drove me to find an alternative and I also landed on ohmyposh specifically because starship lacked the transient prompt.

A WIP but evolving, it watches your active tmux panes and allows you to work with AI agents who can interact with those panes. For command line folk, this could feel like a pretty good way to bring AI in to your working life.

Re:Small, Light, Robust Phones for a Type 1 Diabetic Child
on Sunday February 16, 2025 @10:52AM (#43068942)
Not the OP of this thread, but for our setup the phone is just for the CGM. The pump (Tandem T-Slim) talks directly to the CGM (Dexcom G7) and doesn't need the phone as an interface between them.
The phone just sends the CGM data on to the cloud so we can see his numbers any time.
I also have a NightScout setup that's downloading his CGM data and saving it for us. It's not strictly necessary for anything we're doing, but I like the saved data and it's was useful for working with his Endo when they hadn't yet bought a Dexcom clinic license.

We also use an iPhone SE for our T1 teenager. One drowned in the ocean a few years back, but other than that they've been pretty robust and reliable for us. We do Otter Box them with a screen protector.

> Another annoying thing is that the billing dashboards do not map clearly to what's on the pricing pages / in the contract. Good luck figuring out the extras for RUM when you have multiple orgs.
I, quite literally, was griping to my Datadog CSM about this exact thing last week. They'll email me and be, "Oh, you know you're logging volume this month put you into on-demand indexing rates, right?" and my answer is always, "No, because your monitoring platform makes it nearly impossible for me to monitor it correctly."
You can't reference your contracted volume rates when building monitors out and the units for the metrics you need to watch don't match the units you contract with them on the SKU.
Maddening.

> But you have setup SMS 2FA enabled
No. I did not. Nor do I now.
I had a TOTP setup in 1Password and Mongo was telling me MFA _wasn't_ set up and sending me through the MFA setup flow again.
All options, SMS included, were failing in that MFA setup flow they pushed me in to.
They're back now and my existing TOTP token is generating one time use passwords that work now.
Re:MongoDB is actively investigating a security incident

You really aren't following along closely enough: all other options were failing for me.
Re:MongoDB is actively investigating a security incident

On our side, Okta is saying the auth is good.
I'm trying my personal account as well and it's telling me MFA isn't set up (it is) and it's making me go through the MFA setup flow again. All attempts to setup another 2FA code in 1Password or to get even an SMS code sent to my phone are failing.
Edit: Personal account with a TOTP 2FA is working again now as well.
This is feeling worse than they're letting on to.
Re:MongoDB is actively investigating a security incident

We are completely locked out of our Atlas account and the support portal right now. We Okta-auth with Mongo and all attempts to auth right now are failing with "The request contained invalid data." displayed on their login screen.
Of course, the support portal requires you to auth to use it...to get help with auth failing.
Anyone else seeing issues getting in to their dashboard?
Edit: Auth started working for us and dashboard access became available for us around 5:15 pm ET.
