USA is in that final season that producers wanted but nobody asked for.
I prefer to have a “scripts” directory with each script being a separate executable, maybe a comment on top of each script. Discoverability is just looking at the file system with any tool you’re used to.
Both Bash and Python are a given anywhere. I use Bash for simple stuff and Python for the complex stuff. Thanks to each script being a separate file, I can mix Bash and Python, but using only Python is very valid.

Same applies for questions that display “bad” ideas. “How can I resolve this problem in a for loop… that I’m using to build a SQL query that trusts user input”.
Give the solution and the reason why it is a bad idea.

Im curious about what the password for postgres looked like.
This exact thing happened to a friend, but there was no need to exploit obscure memory safety vulnerabilities, the password was “password”.
My friend learnt that day that you can start processes in the machine from Postgres.

I hate it so, so much. Excellent job.
Thanks for reading and commenting!
Not that hard to solve, but it's an extra hurdle in the setup for something as critical as the networking to connect to your stuff from anywhere. I just think everyone is over-reliant on Tailscale when it's pretty obvious they'll rug-pull as soon as they run out of VC money to burn or get acquired.
So, it's convenient... for now. A future migration is inevitable when using Tailscale, and I prefer to solve problems once.
