Linux Desktop Entry and Icons
December 14, 2024
If you manually install applications on a Linux desktop you may have to create a desktop entry file so your desktop environment knows about the application and how to launch it. Desktop entries have an `icon` setting that is used to tell the desktop environment what icon to display for the application. However, you may find that just setting `icon=icon.svg` may not be enough to ensure the application's icon is desplayed correctly. This post explains an issue I had getting the icon setup correctly when using the wezterm appimage on my laptop.

Terraform: Optional Nested Dynamic Blocks
January 19, 2024
Recently, I was creating a terraform module that creates an S3 bucket. An S3 bucket can only have one aws_s3_bucket_policy, and the module needed to include a default policy to force TLS v1.2. I also needed to be able to pass additional policy statements to the module which may or may not include a condition. Unfortunately, there is not an obvious way to include the condition only when it is part of the policy. This post shows how you can include a nested dynamic condition block when the block exists, and exclude it if it doesn't.
