Here's one for the @b0rk compendium of git oddities.

Today I learned there is a difference between a lightweight tag:

$ git tag v0.20
$ git cat-file -t v0.20
commit

and an annotated tag:

$ git tag -a v0.21 -m "this is an annotated tag"
$ git cat-file -t v0.21
tag

I have only ever used the former, but it's possible for software to care about the difference between the former (the type of the object is commit) and the latter (the type is tag).

What a tangled web we weave.

#RStats lazyweb: has anyone ever had to connect to an azure SQL database using microsoft entra authentication? I am searching for a solution and all I can find is MSFT espousing how good it is, and so far it feels like an automation nightmare! ping @hrbrmstr because you’ve usually connected to everything before I have.

@danwwilson @ryebreadnyc you in Linux?

Cmastication,
@Cmastication@mastodon.social avatar

@danwwilson @ryebreadnyc in unixodbc installed and tested?

odbcinst -j

Then use isql to test a connection?

Cmastication,
@Cmastication@mastodon.social avatar

@danwwilson @ryebreadnyc I feel your pain. I fight something related to this every year or two

Cmastication,
@Cmastication@mastodon.social avatar

@danwwilson @ryebreadnyc I have zero experience with entra auth. So this territory is uncharted by me :(

Cmastication,
@Cmastication@mastodon.social avatar

@danwwilson @ryebreadnyc you got the msft odbc driver installed and configured appropriate odbcinst.ini?

Entry like:

[ODBC Driver 17 for SQL Server]
Description=Microsoft ODBC Driver 17 for SQL Server
Driver=/usr/local/lib/libmsodbcsql.17.dylib
UsageCount=1

Cmastication,
@Cmastication@mastodon.social avatar

@danwwilson @ryebreadnyc then for auth are you using uid & pwd or a token?

Cmastication,
@Cmastication@mastodon.social avatar

@danwwilson @ryebreadnyc good. I’m 0 for 8 on attempts to use tokens outside of windows.

Cmastication,
@Cmastication@mastodon.social avatar

@danwwilson @ryebreadnyc odbc.ini all set up?

Authentication=SqlPassword
UID=your_username
PWD=your_password

Cmastication,
@Cmastication@mastodon.social avatar

@danwwilson @ryebreadnyc that’s in addition to the normal incantations:

[MyMSSQLDB]
Driver=ODBC Driver 17 for SQL Server
Server=tcp:your_server.database.windows.net,1433
Database=your_database_name
Trusted_Connection=no
Encrypt=yes

Cmastication,
@Cmastication@mastodon.social avatar

@hrbrmstr @danwwilson @ryebreadnyc even with UID and PWD? I had drawn that conclusion wrt tokens.

Web designer: Check our the new website!

me: I did, but on my iPad I can't flip through these pictures in the middle. If I move left or right they don't move at all.

wd: Oh we used the latest in parallax scrolling with ScrollMagic. If you keep scrolling down the pictures will flip to the right.

me: So I scroll down to flip right?

wd: <smiles and nods>

me: I understand how the boomers got that way. I'm going to need you to get off my lawn now please.

Polish your cast iron. You won’t regret it. No matter what your cultist friends think.

@baptnz Yep, that advice is all correct. Seasoning works best on a smooth polished cast iron. The seasoning on a polished surface is smoother which reduces sticking even more. So it's polish AND season. Not one or the other!

Code is asset that requires significant maintenance (operating expense). Accumulating lots of code means higher op ex and also less flexibility as changes require altering more code.

A few months ago, following the advice of my friend JD, I did the unthinkable and took an oscillating sander to my cast iron skillet. The results have been amazing. It’s regained its patina and become this wonderfully stick free cook surface. It has the great heat retention and transfer of cast iron and performs like my cast steel pans. 10/10 would do again.

I don’t think Google understands how fast they are burning trust.

They’ll figure it out.

When it’s too late.
