I wrote a blog post about scaling workloads in Kubernetes based on the metrics generated by applications. It was published at infracloud.io on 20th November, 2018.

As I said in the last blog post about Emacs, I use Org mode a lot. It’s the default mode I use for taking notes, tracking tasks etc. The export interface it provides is a really useful feature. There are a lot of packages, which provide ways to export the Org mode file to other formats like Markdown in addition to default supported formats HTML, PDF, text etc.
Presenting within Emacs A few months ago I had a talk on Autoscaling in Kubernetes within our company.

From the title you may think this is another post or debate on <your favorite editor here> vs GNU Emacs. I will be talking about how I started using Emacs and why it is the best tool I have ever used.
How it started During dgplug summer-training 2018, we had series of sessions on GNU Emacs. Thanks to mbuf, the whole series helped me a lot to get started with Emacs and now I use it for all my editing.

It’s been nearly a year since I have posted anything on my blog. So, where I was? I was planning to migrate this blog from the WordPress setup to a static site generator. Started doing that, later got busy with other stuff and it kept getting delayed. But I really wanted to write a new blog post once I get the site migrated. Finally I have the blog migrated completely to HUGO.

You must have heard about diceware passwords before. If not, then the following image explains about it. It’s all about length of the password!
I came across this tool called diceware which helps to generate these kind of passwords by using wordlists. Kushal packaged this for Fedora, he wanted people to test his rpm build, so he posted link to the build on #dgplug. While testing, I just passed random string to the command:

When Fedora 27 was released I was updating my office laptop and suddenly laptop turned off while installing the update after reboot. Probably it was dead because of battery. It was not even starting. Situation was- both the old and new versions of same package were present. After searching a bit, I found this forum thread which solved my problem. And laptop came back to life. In this post I will explain the steps I used to recover my laptop.

In Steam Summer sale of 2017, I had bought Left 4 Dead 2 just for Rs. 64. I played it once or twice and after that never played it again, as it was installed on Windows. I no longer use Windows on my laptop. Left 4 Dead 2 is also available for Steam OS (works on other Linux distros too), so I decided to install it on Fedora.

Recently I updated my machine with dnf update and suddenly noticed that Chrome was showing really weird colors. I was like, what? seems like something happened to my eyes 🙁 😲
Later I realized that it was just Chrome which was rendering those colors like that. Firefox saved my life!
How I found the solution So I tried searching about it. Used keywords like “Chrome weird colors Fedora”, “Chrome wrong color rendering”.

Yesterday morning, I noticed that my laptop was using high bandwidth. It was nearly 1MBps. It was little bit suspicious for me. At first, I thought it must be Chrome, but later I realized Chrome does not auto update itself. Now the question is, who is using the data.
One change I observed was after using that much amount of data, it stopped showing notification about update. This never happened before, so I thought it may be something related to updates.

In our syllabus we have Advance Database Systems subject. We were instructed to use Oracle database for this. So I was searching for Oracle database EXpress edition 11g but I did not want to install it on my system directly. Size was large as well. Easy and fast solution was to search for container image of it and run it.
At DockerCon 2017 they announced that they will be providing official Docker images for their products.
