The Firefox fieldset bug… and a possible workaround

In an ASP.NET MVC application we are building, we have a long list of items inside a form. These items are wrapped inside one <fieldset>tag.
The problem is when we try to print this form inside Firefox only the forms part on the first page gets printed, there is no second page but instead one page with the form sliced.
Turns out that when printing a document, Firefox truncate <fieldset> to one page. This mean that a form with a <fieldset> that would take more than one page in print can not be printed correctly. This is apparently a known bug tracked on bugzilla since 2008 (see bug 471015).
I couldn’t find an ideal solution, in the end I replaced the fieldset by a div and styled it using some css to make it similar.
The original fieldset:
<fieldset>
 <legend>Products</legend>
</fieldset

The alternative:

<div class="fieldset">
   <span class="fieldset">Products</span>
</div>


div.fieldset
{
    border: 1pt solid #755418;  
    padding:10px;
}

span.fieldset
{
    color: #755418;
    font-size: 13px;
    font-weight: bold;
    display:inline-block;
    position:relative;
    top:-20px;
    background-color:#fff;    
}

Kubernetes–Limit your environmental impact

Reducing the carbon footprint and CO2 emission of our (cloud) workloads, is a responsibility of all of us. If you are running a Kubernetes cluster, have a look at Kube-Green . kube-green is a simple Kubernetes operator that automatically shuts down (some of) your pods when you don't need them. A single pod produces about 11 Kg CO2eq per year( here the calculation). Reason enough to give it a try! Installing kube-green in your cluster The easiest way to install the operator in your cluster is through kubectl. We first need to install a cert-manager: kubectl apply -f https://github.com/cert-manager/cert-manager/releases/download/v1.14.5/cert-manager.yaml Remark: Wait a minute before you continue as it can take some time before the cert-manager is up & running inside your cluster. Now we can install the kube-green operator: kubectl apply -f https://github.com/kube-green/kube-green/releases/latest/download/kube-green.yaml Now in the namespace where we want t...

Podman– Command execution failed with exit code 125

After updating WSL on one of the developer machines, Podman failed to work. When we took a look through Podman Desktop, we noticed that Podman had stopped running and returned the following error message: Error: Command execution failed with exit code 125 Here are the steps we tried to fix the issue: We started by running podman info to get some extra details on what could be wrong: >podman info OS: windows/amd64 provider: wsl version: 5.3.1 Cannot connect to Podman. Please verify your connection to the Linux system using `podman system connection list`, or try `podman machine init` and `podman machine start` to manage a new Linux VM Error: unable to connect to Podman socket: failed to connect: dial tcp 127.0.0.1:2655: connectex: No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it. That makes sense as the podman VM was not running. Let’s check the VM: >podman machine list NAME         ...
