Fix: How to import `Chessground` with webpack 5.89.0 and `expose-loader`

 To import and use the `Chessground` library with Webpack 5.89.0 and the `expose-loader`, follow these steps:


1. **Install Chessground**:

   First, make sure you have the `chessground` package installed in your project. You can install it using npm or yarn:


   ```bash

   npm install chessground

   ```


2. **Install expose-loader**:

   If you don't have `expose-loader` installed, you can install it as a development dependency:


   ```bash

   npm install expose-loader --save-dev

   ```


3. **Webpack Configuration**:

   In your Webpack configuration file (commonly named `webpack.config.js`), you can use the `expose-loader` to make `Chessground` globally accessible. Add the following configuration to the `module.rules` section:


   ```javascript

   module: {

     rules: [

       {

         test: require.resolve('chessground'),

         use: [

           {

             loader: 'expose-loader',

             options: 'Chessground', // This is the global name under which Chessground will be accessible

           },

         ],

       },

     ],

   }

   ```


   This configuration tells Webpack to expose `Chessground` globally, so you can use it in your JavaScript code without explicitly importing it.


4. **Usage in Your JavaScript/TypeScript Code**:

   In your JavaScript or TypeScript file, you can now access `Chessground` directly:


   ```javascript

   const board = Chessground(/* your configuration */);


   // Now, you can use `Chessground` as a global variable.

   ```


   You don't need to import `Chessground` using the `import` statement because it's now available globally due to the `expose-loader` configuration.


5. **Building Your Project**:

   After making these changes, you can build your project using Webpack as usual. When you run your application, `Chessground` will be available as a global variable.


Keep in mind that making libraries global should be used with caution, as it can lead to naming conflicts. Ensure that the global name you choose (in this case, 'Chessground') doesn't clash with other libraries or variables in your project.

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
