Mac mini can't mount NFS shares anymore

 If your Mac Mini is having trouble mounting NFS (Network File System) shares, you can follow these steps to troubleshoot and resolve the issue:


1. **Check the NFS Server:** Verify that the NFS server is running and properly configured. Ensure that the shared directories and permissions are set correctly on the NFS server.


2. **Network Connectivity:** Ensure that your Mac Mini has proper network connectivity. Check if you can reach the NFS server by pinging it. If you can't reach the server, there may be network issues.


3. **Firewall Settings:** Check your Mac Mini's firewall settings to make sure they are not blocking NFS traffic. You may need to configure your firewall to allow NFS connections.


4. **NFS Client Software:** Confirm that the NFS client software is installed on your Mac Mini. You can check if it's installed by running the following command:

   ```

   rpcinfo -p

   ```


5. **Mount Command:** Make sure you are using the correct `mount` command to mount the NFS share. For example:

   ```

   sudo mount -t nfs -o rw,nolock,hard,intr server_ip:/share /mnt/mountpoint

   ```


   Replace `server_ip` with the IP address of your NFS server and `/share` with the shared directory path.


6. **NFS Version:** Check the NFS version being used. Depending on the server's configuration, you may need to specify the NFS version. For example:

   ```

   sudo mount -t nfs -o rw,nfsvers=3 server_ip:/share /mnt/mountpoint

   ```


7. **Check Logs:** Check system logs for any error messages related to NFS. You can view logs with the `dmesg` and `tail` commands. Look for error messages that may indicate the cause of the issue.


8. **Reboot:** Sometimes, simply rebooting your Mac Mini can help resolve NFS mounting issues.


9. **Permissions:** Ensure that the directory you are trying to mount to on your Mac Mini has the appropriate permissions for the user trying to access it.


10. **Export Configuration:** On the NFS server, review the `/etc/exports` file to confirm that the share is properly configured. The NFS server should export the directory you're trying to access.


If you continue to experience issues, please provide any error messages or specific details about the problem, which will help in diagnosing the problem more accurately.

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
