Fix: overflow-x doesn't scroll horizontally, only vertically

 If `overflow-x` is not scrolling horizontally as expected, there might be several reasons for this issue. Here are some common troubleshooting steps to address the problem:


1. **Check the Parent Element**: Ensure that the parent element of the content with `overflow-x` is not restricting its width. If the parent element has a fixed or limited width, it can prevent horizontal scrolling.


2. **Content Width**: Verify that the content within the element with `overflow-x` has a width that exceeds the width of the container. Horizontal scrolling will only occur if the content is wider than the container.


3. **White Space**: Be cautious of leading or trailing white spaces in your content. They can affect the total width of the content and may prevent horizontal scrolling.


4. **Positioning**: Check the positioning and layout of the element. Elements with properties like `position: fixed` or `position: absolute` may not scroll horizontally as expected. Ensure that the element's positioning is conducive to horizontal scrolling.


5. **Overflows Hidden in Parent Elements**: Make sure that none of the parent elements have `overflow: hidden` set, as this can hide any content that extends beyond the container's dimensions.


6. **Text Overflow**: If you are trying to scroll horizontally in a text element (e.g., a paragraph or a div with text content), ensure that you don't have text-overflow properties set that might truncate the text.


7. **CSS Rules**: Review any CSS rules, such as `white-space`, `display`, or `float`, that might affect the layout and behavior of the content. These properties can sometimes impact horizontal scrolling.


8. **Content Padding and Margin**: Check if padding, margins, or border properties around the content are preventing it from extending beyond the container's boundaries.


9. **Browser Compatibility**: Ensure that your CSS and HTML are compatible with the web browser you're using. Different browsers may have different behavior for CSS properties.


10. **Browser Extensions and Add-ons**: Disable any browser extensions or add-ons that might affect the rendering or behavior of web pages. Some extensions can interfere with page scrolling.


11. **Testing in Multiple Browsers**: Test the behavior of `overflow-x` in multiple web browsers to rule out browser-specific issues.


If you're still experiencing issues with `overflow-x` not scrolling horizontally after checking these factors, please provide more specific details about your HTML and CSS code, and I can offer further assistance.

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
