Managing disks in Linux

Hard disk drives (HDDs) and Solid state drives (SSDs) are currently the most widespread high capacity storage devices. When such a drive is connected to a computer running Linux, it can be found in the device directory <em>/dev/</em> under the name <em>sdX</em>, where <em>X</em> is a letter changing for each drive.

Kubernetes persistent volumes

Applications deployed on a Kubernetes cluster run inside containers. As a consequence, their file system is that of the container, which means that if the container is removed, the data it contained is lost.

Gitlab CI dealing with credentials

GitLab can automatically dockerize applications using the appropriate CI configuration. However, for obvious security reasons, it is bad practice to include credentials in a git repository. Consequently, the CI pipeline is by default not in a position to include credentials in the dockerized application, which most likely prevents the latter from running as intended.

Kubectl pull new version of image without changes to manifest

When using kubectl apply using an already applied and unchanged manifest file, nothing happens on the Kubernetes cluster. However, deployments can be configured so as to always pull a new version image upon restart. This is achieved using the, <code>imagePullPolicy: Always</code> parameter:

Arduino button debounce function

Arduino button debounce function thumbnail
Physical buttons and switches do not switch between open and close position instantly and perfectly. Instead, they have a tendency to "bounce" between the two states before settling on one. This issue is thoroughly described in circuitdigest's excellent article. Consequently, when using such components with, for example, an Arduino microcontroller, a proper debouncing algorithm must be implemented.
