Fix: User Mailbox usage report from Google Workspace

 To generate a user mailbox usage report from Google Workspace (formerly known as G Suite), you can use the Google Workspace Admin Console or Google Workspace Reports API. Here are steps to generate such a report:


**Using the Google Workspace Admin Console:**


1. Sign in to the Google Workspace Admin Console with your administrator account.


2. In the Admin Console, go to "Reports" from the dashboard.


3. Select "Email Log Search" to access email-related reports.


4. Configure the report to obtain the mailbox usage information. You can specify the following filters:

   - Date range: Set a specific time frame for the report.

   - User or users: Choose the user or users for whom you want to generate the report.

   - Event name: Select "Email Traffic" to focus on mailbox-related events.


5. Click the "Search" button to generate the report.


6. Review the generated report, which will include data on email volume, size, senders, recipients, and other mailbox-related statistics.


**Using the Google Workspace Reports API:**


The Google Workspace Reports API allows programmatic access to usage reports. You can use this API to retrieve mailbox usage data for specific users or your entire organization.


Here's a basic example of how to use the API to retrieve email traffic data for a specific user using Python and the `google-api-python-client` library:


```python

from google.oauth2 import service_account

from googleapiclient.discovery import build


# Service account credentials with appropriate scopes.

credentials = service_account.Credentials.from_service_account_file(

    'path/to/your/credentials.json',

    scopes=['https://www.googleapis.com/auth/admin.reports.audit.readonly']

)


# Build the Reports API service.

service = build('admin', 'reports_v1', credentials=credentials)


# Retrieve email traffic report for a specific user.

user_key = 'user@example.com'

results = service.activities().list(userKey=user_key, applicationName='email').execute()

for activity in results.get('items', []):

    print(activity)

```


Before using the Google Workspace Reports API, you'll need to set up a service account and obtain the necessary credentials. Ensure you have the appropriate API access and follow the API's documentation for more details.


Both methods can provide you with mailbox usage reports, but using the Google Workspace Reports API allows you to automate report generation and retrieval for specific users or your entire organization.

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
