bulk merger to odt?

 To perform a bulk merge of multiple documents into a single ODT (Open Document Text) file, you can use the command line and tools like `unoconv` or LibreOffice. Here's how to do it:


1. **Install unoconv (if not already installed):**

   - For Ubuntu/Debian:

     ```bash

     sudo apt install unoconv

     ```

   - For CentOS/RHEL:

     ```bash

     sudo yum install unoconv

     ```

   - For openSUSE:

     ```bash

     sudo zypper install unoconv

     ```


2. **Prepare your documents:** Place all the ODT files you want to merge into a single directory.


3. **Merge the documents:**

   - Open your terminal and navigate to the directory containing the ODT files.


   - Use the following unoconv command to merge the ODT files into one:


     ```bash

     unoconv -f odt -o merged.odt *.odt

     ```


     This command will combine all the ODT files in the current directory into a single file named `merged.odt`.


4. **Check the merged document:** Open the `merged.odt` file with a compatible application (e.g., LibreOffice) to verify that all the documents were successfully merged.


Please be aware that unoconv uses LibreOffice under the hood, so make sure you have LibreOffice installed as well. Additionally, always backup your files before performing bulk operations to avoid data loss.


If you have a large number of documents to merge, you may need to adjust the above steps to handle them in batches to avoid exceeding system resource limits.

bad character U+002D '-' in my helm template

 In Helm templates, the hyphen character (`-`) can sometimes be treated as a reserved character, particularly when defining values or labels. To include a hyphen character in a Helm template without issues, you can use one of the following approaches: 1. **Quoting the Hyphen:**    You can enclose the hyphen in double quotes, like this:    ```yaml    key: "-"    ```    This way, Helm will interpret the hyphen as a string rather than an operator. 2. **Using Backticks:**    If you need to use the hyphen within a Go template function or inside backticks, you can escape it with a backslash (`\`), like this:    ```yaml    value: `{{ .Values.someField | printf "%s \\-" }}`    ```    The backslash prevents Helm from interpreting the hyphen as a special character. 3. **Variable Assignment:**    Assign the value to a variable and use it. For example:    ```yaml    {{- $hyphen := "-" }}    key: {{ $hyphen }}    ```    This way, you can use the variable `$hyphen` wher

GitLab pipeline stopped working with invalid yaml error

 When your GitLab pipeline has stopped working with an "invalid YAML" error, it means there's a problem with your `.gitlab-ci.yml` file. This could be due to syntax errors, incorrect indentation, or other issues in your pipeline configuration. Here's how to troubleshoot and resolve this issue: 1. **Check for Syntax Errors**:    Carefully review your `.gitlab-ci.yml` file for any syntax errors. Common issues include missing colons, indentation problems, or mismatched quotation marks. Use a YAML linter or an online YAML validator to identify and correct syntax errors. 2. **Indentation**:    YAML relies heavily on proper indentation. Make sure that all lines within the same block have consistent indentation (typically using spaces, not tabs). Incorrect indentation can cause YAML parsing errors. 3. **Dashes and Lists**:    Ensure that you use the correct syntax for lists (arrays) in YAML by starting each item with a dash (`-`). Be consistent with your use of dashes throug

How do I add a printer in OpenSUSE which is being shared by a CUPS print server?

 To add a printer in openSUSE that is being shared by a CUPS print server, you can use the following steps: 1. **Ensure CUPS Client is Installed:**    Make sure your openSUSE system has the CUPS client tools installed. You can install them using the following command:    ```bash    sudo zypper install cups-client    ``` 2. **Discover Available Printers:**    Use the `lpinfo` command to discover available printers on your CUPS print server. Replace `cups-server-hostname` with the hostname or IP address of your CUPS server:    ```bash    lpinfo -v -h cups-server-hostname:631    ```    This command should list the printers shared by the CUPS server. 3. **Add a Printer:**    Use the `lpadmin` command to add a printer. Replace `printer-name` with the name of the printer you want to add and `printer-uri` with the URI obtained from the `lpinfo` command:    ```bash    sudo lpadmin -p printer-name -E -v printer-uri    ```    For example:    ```bash    sudo lpadmin -p MyPrinter -E -v socket://cu
