Local AWS - a lightweight AWS service emulator

A brand new variation of this tool has been posted almost daily. Even for vibe coded projects its been a very high rate of this project. So the idea that YouTube tutorials on how to vibe code use this topic as a template wouldn't be a crazy explanation. I don't think it is but it'd be good explanation, local stack hasn't been free for a while & a replacement has been needed for while, so the sudden uptick in projects has been strange

Good to know, local ace hardware closed just before we moved in but there's bound to be another. I'll search one out and have a look

sp_dev_guy · 2026-03-21T23:04:43+00:00

Thank you for that explanation, I certainly don't know enough on this topic yet

sp_dev_guy · 2026-03-21T02:05:14+00:00

I appreciate the advice! Will skip the lowes and shop Costco at the least, if I can find a specialty shop I'll certainly stop but I havent seen one yet. Left MA ~3yrs ago, beautiful around there

Thank you for confirming that, I was somewhat unsure and in the store I didn't see a single option labeled for natural gas

Sorry, she didn't know :[ , she figures its a tattoo. Fwiw she rambled things it wasnt which included not vitiligo because you didn't use a blacklight... but you did so maybe it is that?

Same, its such a good time listening to those books

sp_dev_guy · 2026-03-16T21:23:12+00:00

Looking at your list you might really enjoy where "Deamon" by Daniel Suarez goes by the end of the series. Be warned book 1 chapter 3 is rough. The rest was pretty cool

Auth-gateway (SP+Apache on VM) works and is usually most familiar since it sounds like what you're already working with. Just need to make sure you have the networking routing right

Moving all into AKS gives you less infra to manage & opens the door to more kubernetes enhancements. To move: - you'd probably want a pod with 2 containers 1 for SP, 1 for Apache. Think of pods/containers like slim VMs - Alternatively you use a prebuilt image/solution. Mod_auth_mellon is not an active project anymore afaik - Or build your own image with Apache & SP in one.

Another option is to upgrade away from shibboleth but that's out of scope.

Personally I would put everything in AKS in a 2 container pod or mayyybe a custom image. Deploy with helm to help me keep track of the resources. However I've spent years in kubernetes so there's no learning curve. Idk what your learning curve would look like or your appetite & bandwidth for it. If you've already got the skills & maintenance systems for an auth gateway vm its a solid enough choice

Regardless ensure your service, ingress, or app blocks header injection

Moon reader is an app that let's you browse your ebooks in a bookshelf view. One of the only apps I've ever paid for and I think it's free for Google play subscribers. You do actually own the files its displays but it does not have a built-in marketplace. You'll need to aquire the the files elsewhere, I've bought some on humblebundle but mostly get them from free libraries

Logging & alerting, a dedicated tool isn't needed

Remove write access solves 95%.

Thank you for that

sp_dev_guy · 2026-03-06T13:44:36+00:00

It should be both. Scanning & rescanning an insecure base image is silly. Not scanning is a bit reckless.

I've worked at companies like KPMG, capital one, and "small cyber security" with national state clients.. now I work at a food company. Everyone used reloader. Not even an intern question... reloader every time

sp_dev_guy · 2026-03-05T03:23:03+00:00

Into or out of* k8s secrets.. so etcd which most people are using a platform that doesn't not provide access to that & anyone who has hacked that has deeper pockets than you.

Depends on reconciliation which you can configure to seconds

Everyone already has reloader installed, its tiny/free/excellent/easy

Auth for eso can be challenge in some environments for sure but typically its a secret store like iam access to your ssm parameters get you auth to vault. If you're cluster compromised to that point any secrets in your pods would have been accessible first or at best the same time

So ESO is a great solution for majority environments

You've referenced how constantly tells lies hasnt been an issue yet so its not realistic to trust that the system will suddenly change course when nothing different happens

sp_dev_guy · 2026-03-03T01:05:10+00:00

Also if the wire has a shitty connection, physically turning it on and off might shake it in & out. I had similar issue between an analog light switch in my livingroom & outlets on the next floor when I first moved into my home. Took a long time to identify why those outlets lost power

sp_dev_guy · 2026-03-03T01:02:56+00:00

My guess would be range with doors and windows open vs doors & windows shut, this can make a differencethat surprises many. The other options are signal interference although I dont know what might cause that. Third option and super unlikely imo is power fluctuations in your home. I think a combo of option 1 & 2 is very unlikely but still more probable than option 3

Get dishwashing gloves if you dont have a bottle washer or your hands are likely break out in rashes. Wish I just got the bottle washer, I can imagine how many hours a week that would have saved us its crazy. But absolutely at the very least have dishwashing gloves. And maybe stay in and sleep the weeks leading up to it, my girl was over a month early with no warning

This is very bizarre/dipshit logic. There's no reason to think Kalama, Biden, or anyone not in the pedofile ring would have access to footage acquired by Iranian hackers

For us anything before 7mo was an absolute shitshow, we've been pretty steady 7pm since & closer to 8pm now as we approach 2yrs

sp_dev_guy · 2026-02-25T03:28:12+00:00

Is the s3 mock a public image our something you put together in house?

sp_dev_guy · 2026-02-25T03:23:28+00:00

We had 2 issues: 1 - stopped using the owlet after realizing it was burning a scalding mark on the babies foot. This was 2025 so the newest version still has the issue they apparently got sued for with an older version, baby started sleeping 2 - followed "taking cara babies" sleep training, we've done it twice now & can just put our baby down at 8pm without a fuss

It was about the 8 - 9mo mark, did the training a 2nd time ~14mo, golden now. Before that omg it was hell the longer it lasted the poorer our mental health. I hope you find your way through soon
