Index out of range in terrafrom

Wed, 25 Mar 2026 21:35:00 -0700

Accidently nuked half of some resources and broke DNS (yes, it is in fact always DNS). One of the first things I learned and is on a lot of guides for terraform is how `count` works. It’s one of the meta-arguments you can use with most resources, others are

``` depends_on count for_each provider / providers lifecycle ```

Here’s an example for count before I show my oops.

```hcl variable “names” { default = [“alice”, “bob”, “carol”] }

D&D Oneshot Recommendations

DND One Shot Recommendations#

Some Recs and Resources. It’s come up a few times so I made a page to quickly share with others.

Death House#

Horror themed, prequel to Curse of Strahd, Death House is meant for 3rd to 5th level players. I’ve never ran this. Only tip I know is to not let anyone 1v1 the broom lol.

**Review** TBD :(

Study in Marble#

From the DMSguild.com page for it. Also was announced via reddit and they have some tips and suggestions.

Locking yourself out of SDDM with .bashrc

Sun, 01 Mar 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Transferring#

I’m going to SCaLEx23. I don’t tend to use my laptop as a primary device so I was transferring everything.

I literally can’t live without my aliases and shortcuts so in my rush I somehow moved a copy of my .bashrc into ~/.bashrc.d. Which doesn’t sound like a big deal except I have this in my main file.

if [ -d ~/.bashrc.d ]; then
for rc in ~/.bashrc.d/*.sh; do
 if [ -f "$rc" ]; then
 . "$rc"
 fi
done
fi 

Why load everything in? Because I’m lazy.

Rice

Tue, 24 Feb 2026 00:00:00 +0000

I like the fun linux commands that rice out your setup but I don’t like having to remember when/how to use them.

I’ve got my .bashrc that calls everything in .bashrc.d/*. In there I’ve started throwing in files with custom config options.

Here’s a quick ls function that’s context aware. I’ll be expanding it as I learn better ways to use eza or similar listing tools.

_ls() {
 if git rev-parse --is-inside-work-tree &>/dev/null; then
 eza -l -h --git --git-repos --total-size --no-user --git-ignore --icons "$@"
 else
 command ls "$@"
 fi
}

Turns this

Formatting AWS Security Groups for a VMware Migration

Wed, 05 Feb 2025 00:00:00 +0000

The Problem#

At work we’re in the middle of a large lift and shift migration from VMware to AWS (for the same reason everyone is). Hundreds of servers across multiple departments, moved in waves.

The firewall rules for these servers come from everywhere. Palo Alto firewalls, host-based firewalls, department-specific switches, department-specific IT teams, random appliances that predate much of the current staff. Years of accumulated rules from multiple sources, and now they all need to become AWS security groups.

Bypassing RoyalRoad's piracy nags in RSS Feeds

Wed, 20 Nov 2024 00:00:00 +0000

Issue#

Royal Road likes to annoy pirates. This is (arguably) good.

Royal Road doesn’t care if they annoy RSS users. This is bad.

Here’s a walkthrough of the problem and the fix.

The Problem:#

First, let’s look at the full picture of why this is happening.

The Original Website HTML (Simplified)

When you visit the Royal Road chapter in your browser, the full page’s HTML looks something like this. Your browser loads the section and the section.

Wed, 20 Nov 2024 00:00:00 +0000

Custom Domain and Emails

Mon, 07 Oct 2024 00:00:00 +0000

What is this?#

Let’s say you wanted to buy a domain like edfig.dev. You can host a personal blog at this address. Once you buy the domain, not only can you host content, but with a bit more tinkering you can send and receive emails with it.

You can email eddie@edfig.dev or admin@edfig.dev and that email will make its way to my inbox. You can set up rules to handle specific addresses too.

RSS - Still Alive

Sat, 05 Oct 2024 00:00:00 +0000

RSS - Still Very Useful#

I like having a centralized curated list of content. I’d rather go to a single page to catch up on new content instead of visiting or remembering to visit a bunch of different sites. I also don’t like having to deal with cookies and sites tracking my every move.

I use: FreshRSS, RSSHub, and RSSHub-Radar

I used to only use RSS for blogs and other text based content but with the above tools I can RSS-ify most anything.

Fantasy Football Draft Tools

Thu, 29 Aug 2024 00:00:00 +0000

Draft Tools#

> Beer Sheets#

I used to recommend and use Beer Sheets, a tool I found online that gave good results every time I used it. I’ve gotten good feedback from people I’ve recommended it to. The original creator has moved on after the 2023 season and the new team has yet to prove they’re as good.

Usage#

You can go to their main page and just copy over the settings from your league. For example here’s a direct link to the settings my family league is using.
