Setting indent blankline plugin in lua with custom options

 To set up the `indent-blankline` plugin with custom options in Lua, you need to configure the plugin by adding specific settings to your `init.lua` file for Awesome WM. Here's how you can set up the `indent-blankline` plugin with custom options in Lua:


1. **Install the Plugin**:

   Make sure you have the `indent-blankline` plugin installed in your system. You can usually install it via a package manager like `luarocks`. For example:

   

   ```

   luarocks install indent_blankline

   ```


2. **Require the Plugin**:

   In your `init.lua`, require the `indent-blankline` plugin and set it up with your custom options. Here's an example of how to do this:


   ```lua

   -- Require the plugin

   local ibl = require("indent_blankline")


   -- Configure custom options

   ibl.setup {

       char = "▏",                -- Character used for indentation lines

       buftype_exclude = {"terminal"},  -- Exclude certain buffer types

       space_char_blankline = " ",      -- Character used for spaces (if not using `char`)

       show_current_context = true,     -- Show indentation of the current context

   }


   -- Enable the plugin

   vim.cmd("autocmd CursorMoved * IndentBlanklineRefresh")

   ```


   In this example, custom options like the character used for the indent lines, buffer type exclusions, space character, and more are set as per your requirements. Adjust these options to your liking.


3. **Enable the Plugin**:

   In the example above, we set up an autocmd to refresh the blank lines as the cursor moves. You can adjust this behavior as needed or trigger it manually based on your workflow.


4. **Restart or Reload Awesome WM**:

   To see the changes, you may need to restart or reload Awesome WM.


Remember that `indent-blankline` is typically a plugin used in Vim for code editing, and it may not provide the same experience in Awesome WM. The setup mentioned above assumes you are integrating it with Awesome WM to improve code readability. Be aware that some customizations might not work as expected or might require further adjustments to suit your environment.

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
