How are people who use #agenix solving passing secrets to modules that don't take a path? I'm specifically looking at my Prometheus config where I need to configure a bearer token for a scrape job, and API tokens in the Alertmanager configuration. All of these just take strings.

I guess you can lib.readFile the decrypted file which is frowned upon, but there's no other users on the system so I guess having it in the clear in the store is less of an issue.

Keeping it real in the age of artificial intelligence

Amid technology-focused hype cycles, the job of human-centred practitioners is to remind everyone: the main reason people use technology is to enhance our connections with other humans in the real world.

This is genuinely amazing, cool and nice. Ethel Caterham is officially the oldest living person on earth at a youthful #115. RIP to Sister Lucas who died at #116 earlier this week.

"I lost my glasses, I don't know where I left them. Is it age?"

Age is used here like in other situations jealousy: an umbrella or catalogue of possible reasons we still did not pinpoint as the cause, side effect or symptom.

Forgetfulness, for whatever reason, including organic, stress, theft, Mobbing at work a too eager to tidy flat mate or nesting partner, the tooth fairy, etc.

Circulation problems and/or brain degradation from e. G. Hormonal or organic changes can definitely induce forgetfulness (sometimes reversible, sometimes not). Age itself not really.

Not everybody who ages get forgetful, quite far from that. Still a lot of people do, and instead of saying it inevitable, we can see what can be done about it (medication, community support, etc).

Not bitching, as usual pledging for more precision in the language in order to not normalise this or that idea.
