  1. Surface
  2. Authentication
  3. Authorization
  4. Service
  5. Client

Securing websocket connections from browsers

Securing a websocket connection is a mess.

A good solution needs to

  1. work from the browser
  2. be hardened against CSRF
  3. be stateless
  4. work on IE 11 :(

To that end, the following should work:

Using Helm without Tiller

Intro

Assume we have some Helm chart we want to deploy, but we don't want to install Tiller on our Kubernetes cluster. This doc will cover how to deploy a helm chart without installing Tiller on the cluster, but will not go into the motivations or tradeoffs of doing so.

Prereqs

  1. Helm installed locally
  2. Helm initialized (helm init --client-only)
  3. kubectl working for your cluster

Six pieces of outdoor clothing everyone should own

These staples should last you many years and be usable in almost all your outdoor persuits, from summer hiking to fall backpacking, to snowsports, and even a bit of light summer mountaineering.
Without further ado we'll start from the bottom to the top.

The gear

  1. Wool socks
    Wool stays warm and wicks moisture when wet. As long as you've got breathable shoes wool socks can be comfortable even in the summer. As an added perk they're nice and cheap.
  2. Softshell pants Tough, breathable, and windproof are the trademark characteristics of softshell pants. They're typically not insulated and so are suitable for warm weather, but their wind resistance makes them plenty warm when the mercury drops (especially when worn over a long baselayer).
