Hurl - Run and Test HTTP Requests Hurl, run and test HTTP requests with plain text and curl. Hurl can run fast automated integration tests. hurl.dev [1] Hurl was mentioned by @gerhard [2] on the latest changelog and Friends [3]. Looks like a feature rich easy to use testing tool that is tested via what looks like a config file. Hurl is a command line tool that runs HTTP requests defined in a simple plain text format. It can chain requests, capture values and evaluate queries on headers and body response. Hurl is very versatile: it can be used for both fetching data and testing HTTP sessions. Hurl makes it easy to work with HTML [4] content, REST / SOAP / GraphQL APIs, or any other XML / JSON based APIs.

Fitting two hard drives and an SSD in a Dell OptiPlex 7010 SFF The Dell OptiPlex 7010 SFF officially only has room for one 2.5" hard drive internally, I fitted two 3.25" hard drives and a 2.5" SSD in one. willj.net [1] This guy fit 2 3.5" drives and an sdd in a dell 7050 SFF. It looks tight, and there it probably not much airflow running in it, but its an impressive project.

How To Fix An Office Chair Popping Noise? With Root Causes If you hear a popping noise from under your office chair when you move around or when you spin it, it’s time to repair your office chair. Read more. ToErgonomics · toergonomics.com [1] I tried this fix on my secretlabs chair, but unfortunately it did nothing for me. Mine ended up being an issue in the tilt mechanism and not the hydraulic piston. I greased the crap out of it, it can only help the longevity. I did notice that the two washers on either side of my bearing were quite worn in. References: [1]: https://toergonomics.com/office-chair-popping-noise/

Reddit - Please wait for verification reddit.com [1] This is definitely happening to my secretlabs chair. I did the fix this morning, its still not perfect, but it’s better now than it has been in a long time. Mine use to be so bad that it would pop and creak every time I sat down or moved the smallest bit. It’s now quiet through the mid range of its motion with the occasional pop when I sit down.

- Dang, love this guys branding. Hooks to get stuff offDaBench, what a freaking cool name.

- This is a really amazing documentary of argocd. I got into k8s pretty late in the game. Which is pretty typical for me. As I went to use k8s for the first time i was using workflows, then cd. both of these tools had a level of polish that made them seem like they had been there forever and not quite as young as they actually are. I thought it was interesting how they focused on how the name must be two syllables or less, start with a or b, logo needs to be cutesy funny and recognizable seemed interesting, but puts them at the top of lists and makes them look like they’ve been there forever.
