This is awesome - something I've been thinking of doing for my docusaurus doc. Is there an example of your webscraper? I was thinking of using langchain's markdown parser: https://python.langchain.com/docs/mod

USDS certainly does not. The guiding principle at the time from what I remembered is to try to set "some standard" for all federal government websites to strive to because there were none. We also helped with design and infrastruc

Hi! Can you elaborate on what in particular on the VA site that causes serious harm to the people it's meant to serve? I'm happy to bring it to the team or if you don't feel comfortable with stating it here, please bring it u

It's a tough job. USDS can often be in a unique position to take the technical lead in a fire situation such that it doesn't happen again, and that can steer enormous positive outcomes for both the public servant, the contractors,

I've been reading up on Keycloak recently, and had questions for hosting keycloak in prod. How do people in the field handle configuration updates with code? For example, if I want to set it up as an identity broker to an idp, I would

Interesting to see this popped up here. I used to submit a bunch of tools through the internal Technical Reference Model (TRM) portal where there's 40 or so questions to answer. draw.io should be available too. Back in 2018 when I join

We absolutely can update this consumer facing portal, and I believe there is a Treasury team actively working to modernize this portal. Personally, I didn't even know of this portal's existence until I signed up for an account and

Good evening, I have to assume that VA department you're talking about is Dept of Veterans Affairs - and if that's the case, you're in luck! You don't have to wait till 2150 for this to happen. I know that we no longer p

I agree with the sentiment that there are cultural issues with the federal space, and it requires continuous diligence of dedicated people to change the landscape and move the needle. Devops take a long time to grow organically - and it&#x2

Yep, I'm with USDS. It's not a problem, I'm glad to help if I can and civil engineering is a bit out of my depth. Are there anything specific about the formats I should be asking for? I'm assuming there are hundred of di

Hi, I sent an email to the team in the listing to see if they can provide additional information about the file formats involved in HEC-RAS. Finger-crossed. The following link does include a Linux download, but with little support - https:

Feedback and comments are always welcome, at least I welcome them :D. I can't speak for all government agencies, but generally there is an internal CA for hosting internal sites. I remember reading a comment from the Federal PKI guide

Ah, understood. Most federal agencies have their own internal PKI systems, and DoD is probably more unique than others because the infrastructure is bigger, older, and has different regulations governing them. Most civilian agencies such as

Hi, this is Boris Ning from United States Digital Service. Can you go into specifics of the "wonky certificate settings"? I can probably help you out with that or at least bring it to the attention of the team here at VA.

Hi, I'm an engineer with VA as a part of USDS [ https://usds.gov ]. As dkhenry stated in the comments, I sent a couple messages to the VA Lighthouse team along with the VA Office of Connected Care team to see they can help su
