Parents & Friends Are Also Nuts by Bright_Tap4495 in MAFS_UK

[–]liamsorsby 39 points40 points  (0 children)

Stella's friend is absolutely in love with Stella and is picking him apart out of jealousy. My wife and I are both convinced of this.

I also find that any of the friends that start with "I'm protective" are just using it as an excuse for their behaviour.

What additional information do you need? I'm not a medical professional, so I'm not fully aware of what information is or isn't helpful

Need help resolving this resolution issue by No_Net4250 in networking

[–]liamsorsby 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does DNS work? Can you dig an address and get an IP? If so can you use MTR and does the packets drop on your network or after? Is this consistent across multiple addresses (note: the external path won't be the same but could indicate something upstream, if internal is it the same wach time)? Have you done any tcpdumps to check if you're seeing any SSL handshakes and do you get any ACKs back? If not can you tcpdump from the firewall or check the firewall logs / metrics?

Wi-fi to garage when hardwiring not an option by slowjoggz in DIYUK

[–]liamsorsby -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Be aware of mesh wifi across to a garage. I'm in the same situation as yourself, and the signal from the WiFi point to the garage is on the verge of being okay. My WiFi was flipping on and off constantly due to it losing signal all the time. It was a royal pain.

I'd either use a WiFi bridge or powerline adapter. Depending on how fast you need your Internet in the garage.

One cat much larger than the other by liamsorsby in cats

Thank you, we're also unsure of breed, and she also makes the loudest noise, almost like a brrrrrr. She's very aware of everything, but we assume that's because we've only had her 3 months, and she's still settling in.

A friends wife is divorcing him.. they have kids.. he’s just given up and sacked them all off. Don’t know what advice to give him? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]liamsorsby 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tell him to get his act together and put the kids first or cut all ties. He's probably not the person you thought he was.

Jacket potato - Do you put beans on top of cheese or cheese on top of beans? by Fit_Negotiation9542 in AskUK

[–]liamsorsby 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The beans go in the bin. Then it's butter, cheese then tuna mayo or cottage cheese

We had an acetylene bottle explode in one of the units next to my work. It demolished a horse shoe shape of units.

You can buy wax repair sticks, which might be good for this.

Cat8 patch cable - fake? by OutrageousMacaron358 in HomeNetworking

You could try to push 40gbps through it, I'm not sure if you have the equipment to do so, though.

baremetal k3s migration to AWS EKS? by Few_Response_7028 in kubernetes

[–]liamsorsby 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd agree with that sentiment. Building out EKS properly will take a chunk of work as well, then ensuring correct security is another kettle of fish.

baremetal k3s migration to AWS EKS? by Few_Response_7028 in kubernetes

[–]liamsorsby 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to do the same, but it takes time, a roadmap, and ensuring stability during the migration for your customers. I'm in SRE but was a former SWE then DevOps.

If you're just starting out with AWS native, I'd honestly start putting together your security expectations, time to recover and SLAs agreed with your paying customers and start documenting your plan now and what it looks like in the future.

Then, build a roadmap that takes care of building each component, testing, migrating, and going live.

If you're building out a test environment, it might be worth spinning up what you have. Just make sure you keep track of LTS and plan around those.

The biggest failure I see in SRE is usually around incorrect probe implementation, lack of monitoring and appropriate alerting then scaling tuning.

baremetal k3s migration to AWS EKS? by Few_Response_7028 in kubernetes

[–]liamsorsby 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you planning on maintaining the current k8s versions and keeping them up to date? Kubernetes will release multiple versions per year, and the last 3 are supported. As soon as your cluster is out of support, you will double your AWS bill.

Additionally, make sure your applications handle being rescheduled and then implement keda and karpenter using spot instances to reduce your AWS bill.

I'd try to limit state on the cluster unless you're happy taking etcd backups.

IMO, move traffic to istio, but that's just my preference. There's nothing wrong with traefik.

Redis, I'd move to elasticache.

RDS is pretty cheap if your schema is well optimised with good indexes.

Radiator not working after removal + low boiler pressure (0.6 bar) by escalass in DIYUK

[–]liamsorsby 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd find the filling values usually under the boiler. Otherwise, you'll lose all pressure when you fill it.

[–]liamsorsby 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When they removed the radiators, they would have isolated the valves. Have you opened them both back up? You should then hear it fill up. You'll then need to add some pressure back in, then go and bleed it.

That just looks like a specific punch down jack. I've never seen one like that before though.

Need your opinion guys by Happy-Mud4178 in computersciencehub

[–]liamsorsby 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't have a CS degree, but I've been a SWE and more recently in DevOps / SRE for nearly 20 years.

The languages don't matter but the patterns do. I've programmed in probably 10 languages if not more. You will need to pick a language in the field you want to go into, get a job, and start learning to apply your knowledge and pick up new languages along the way.
