President Bashar Assad and his father, Hafez Assad, combined to rule Syria for more than 50 years, always with an iron fist that crushed dissent and relied on the country's feared security forces.

Introduction k9s is a terminal based GUI to manage any Kubernetes(k8s) cluster. Using this single utility, we can manage, traverse, watch all our Kubernetes objects.
We will dive a bit into k9s and see how it can help us in our day-to-day life, how we can get started, etc.
Features Before we go into the example on how it can help, what it can do for us, let’s see some of its features, it has a ton of features, but we will focus on the ones which can help us in our day-to-day activities:
Shows a helicopter view of all the Kubernetes objects.
Easily we can move from one namespace to another.
Watch/observe the state of Kubernetes objects using pulses.
Get the tree kind of structure using xrays to identify objects co-relation.
Manage the objects directly from the CLI, operations like deleting, editing, restarting is just one button away.
Interestingly using a single button, you can get shell access to the pods.
Check the logs from any of the pod without actually remembering the name of the pod, just select the pod and the logs are just one button away.
Sanitize/clean up all the pods which are in completed/error state.
…. and a lot more.
Installation
Its installation is straight forward and is available for almost all the platforms.
Download the latest version of k9s binary, you can use the same URL/version if required or get the latest version released and update below URL accordingly.
Once done it will get the k9s binary installed here: /usr/bin/k9s.
HOWTO
Launch k9s
$ k9s
Once k9s is launched you will be presented with a beautiful layout with lots of options.
Press 0 to view all the pods from all the namespaces.
Navigate between Kubernetes objects Navigating is pretty easy; it is more or less like vi or vim.
For example, if you want to view deployments then press : it will bring the cursor to a text area where you can write the object that you are interested in, for instance in current example deployments.
The short forms too are accepted i.e. deploy in case of deployment, svc in case of service, etc.
This also supports crds 🙂
Pods management
Press : and type in pods, it will show you all the pods in selected namespace, if you want to see the pods from all namespaces press 0.
There are times where we have to delete the pods on the fly. Just select the pod and press ctrl+d and you are done.
There are times when you have to login to a pod. Just select the pod and press s and you are done. If you want to exit, press ctrl+d or type in exit.
Want to describe the pod details, press d.
Want to get the yaml output of the Kubernetes objects, just select the object and press y.
Want to see the logs of a specific pod, select the pod and press l.
You can even do port-forward from the same UI, isn’t it cool :), Just press shift+f and if you want to see any existing port-forward are present or not, press f.
Sanitize/Clean up pods: For instance in below screen dump we can see there are 2 pods which are in Completed and we want to clean them up.
Just press z, you will be asked “if you are sure”, type in “Yes Please!” and the job is done.
XRAY Xray gives you a great detail in terms of co-relation between k8s objects, it basically provides a tree like structure.
Pulses Pulses give a great dashboard to see what exactly is happening in your cluster, what all objects are there, health of your objects, etc?
NOTE: Make sure metrics-server is installed and running in the cluster otherwise you won’t see proper results. In my case it was not installed, therefore it was just stating blank results.
After installing metrics-server and launching pulses it shows an awesome dashboard.
The great part about it is, it shows the current status of your cluster.
It even shows what all objects are healthy and what all objects are unhealthy.
Over the last few years, Apple has steadily been building password manager-style features into macOS and iOS, including automatic password generation, password breach detection, and more. Starting with this year's updates—iOS 18 and macOS 15 Sequoia—Apple broke all that functionality out into its own Passwords app, making it all even more visible as a competitor to traditional password managers like 1Password and Bitwarden.
One area where Apple has lagged behind its platform-agnostic competitors is in browser support. Users could easily autofill passwords in Safari on macOS, and Apple did support a basic extension for the Windows versions of Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge via iCloud for Windows. But the company only added a Chrome extension for macOS users in the summer of 2023, and it has never supported non-Chromium browsers at all.
That has finally changed, at least for Firefox users running macOS—Apple has an officially supported Passwords extension for Firefox that supports syncing and autofilling passwords in macOS Sonoma and macOS Sequoia. Currently, the extension doesn't support older versions of macOS or any versions of Firefox for Windows or Linux. When you install the extension in Firefox on a Mac that's already synced with your iCloud account, all you should need to do to sign in is input a six-digit code that macOS automatically generates for you. As with the Chromium extension, there's no need to re-sign in to your iCloud account separately.
To enable this functionality, it looks like Apple has taken ownership of a third-party extension that supported autofilling Apple Passwords in Firefox—a GitHub page for the original extension is still available but says that Apple "are now the sole owners in charge of maintaining their own official iCloud Passwords extension." That extension supports the versions of Windows that can run the official iCloud for Windows app, suggesting that Apple ought to be able to add official Windows support for the extension at some point down the line.
I have a family friend who worked at our local Salvation Army headquarters as a a secretary. This particular office took all the Christmas donations for children in need, put them in a warehouse, and on a designated day the staff and their friends picked through them all, taking whatever they wanted. She saw people hauling away bikes donated for specific families. Some local children had hundreds of dollars of gifts donated in their name, and on Christmas they received three cheap things, items likely not even from the person who sponsored them.
My friend quit, and I’ve not given them a dime of my money since then.
Do not give to the Salvation Army.
Do Not. Give. To. Salvation. Army
My turn.
I’m a wildfire and disaster logistics specialist.
I deal with a lot of agencies who provide disaster relief.
I used to say the Salvation Army’s disaster services were the one (literally the ONE) good thing they did.
They would come in, set up a canteen trailer, make and pass out hot coffee and donated food in a disaster, usually being one of the first agencies to get there and the last to leave.
Then I found out.
Every time they did this, regardless of if they were actually invited or deployed by the agency in charge (usually FEMA, sometimes others) they would SELF-DEPLOY. Meanjng they would just show up. Ok. That’s not TOO bad, sometimes agencies have to take initiative and get there before the red tape is sorted out. BUT. They, after they left at the end of the incident, they would send FEMA or the host agency a BILL. They used one or two paid employees (usually the driver of the truck and a supervisor); and many VOLUNTEERS, but they would bill for EVERYONE’s Labor at standard federal rates. They would bill for the food they distributed even though it was all donated by another agency or private parties. They would bill for the coffee they made and the supplies. Except they would use electricity from the shelter location, water from donations or from the shelter, and in many cases, they would get the coffee and industrial filters DONATED, but bill for them at retail prices.
Don’t FUCKING give to the Salvation Army.
The Salvation Army is also ass to the workers. A good number of people join it, naively thinking that it’s doing good, and end up leaving cynical and beaten down. The management is hostile, if not outright abusive, and demand some ridiculous hours of it lower to mid-level staff. Don’t support these people.
Unsettling update
Find better local charities and shelters and give to them instead!
Also just for even more horrific context on the original twitter thread?
Salvation Army reached out to Milknmuffins and asked what shelter she’s at with the promise to address the abuse in it. She…ended up saying where she was. She was thrown out onto the street. It’s also all on Twitter.
They invited her to a personal talk so she could explain the situation in person.
And then they threatened her with a screenshot of a rape-threat made supposedly by her:
And then threw her out into the street while claiming she broke house rules that
So yeah, the Salvation Army is a bunch of entitled assholes that will treat the most vulnerable like shit if they dare try to do anything that makes them look bad
The “Fuck Salvation Army” posts are making the rounds again, so conisder this your reminder:
Do. Not. Give. These. Assholes. A. Single. Fucking. Penny.
