Minimal working example for the hot-looping issue with Vault

Following Irbe's instructions cert-manager/cert-manager#3897 (comment):

Same issue here on Slack, I was not able to reproduce this then, but seem to be able to reproduce it now with cert-manager v1.3.1.

To reproduce follow steps here except for:

Deploy a newer version of cert-manager and use v1 not v1alpha2 api when creating cert-manager resources

Set max_ttl to 720h (30d) when creating the Vault role that `cert-manager will use

My hundred struggles while using Linux as my desktop driver (Ubuntu 24.04)

Hi! On Thursday 25 April 2021, I entirely switched from macOS to Linux: https://maelvls.dev/evolution-of-my-home-office/. I took note of every adjustment I had to make along the way. I use Ubuntu "vanilla" (with Gnome as my desktop manager).

🔥 Update 26 June 2023: I am abandoning "desktop" Linux! I can't bear having to work around everything all the time, not even counting the tons of problems that occur whenever I do a major version upgrade (e.g., when I upgraded from 21.10 to 22.04, my PPAs broken obviously, and also I lost all the hack I had made to the /etc to work around problems). I am officially back to macOS starting 26 June 2023. I'll still use my Linux workstation remotely over Mosh, but not as a desktop environment.

To remove the vendor/ diffs in Go, add a bookmark in Firefox with:

javascript:(function(){ var q = prompt("Example filter: vendor/"); if (q != null) { $(".diff-file:contains(" + q + ")").detach() }}())

To expand all the resolved comments in a GitHub pull request, I used to use a bookmark with a javascript snippet using this Gist, but it seems like GitHub silently added a feature where pressing Option while clicking on "Expand comment" on one of the folded comments expands all the comments at once.

Dealing with secrets

GNOME comes with libsecret. You can use libsecret to store your git credentials:

sudo apt install libsecret-1-0 libsecret-1-dev libglib2.0-dev
sudo make --directory=/usr/share/doc/git/contrib/credential/libsecret
git config --global credential.helper /usr/share/doc/git/contrib/credential/libsecret/git-credential-libsecret

	#! /usr/bin/env bash
	set -ueo pipefail

	FROM=
	TO=
	MODE=helm-without-crds

	help() {
	cat <<EOF
	The cert-manager teams does upgrade tests with various upgrade modes.

	#! /bin/bash

	help() {
	cat <<EOF
	I often need to remember what I was doing on a certain day. So I built
	this tool to help me find that out. Note that it requires GNU date.

	To configure which repositories are looked into, edit the EOF block at
	the end of the source of this tool.

	#! /bin/bash

	set -euo pipefail
