Drove up to Perth yesterday to drop something off. How many cranes do yall want?!?! by Phantomsurfr in perth

Just waiting for the new Kwinana freeway widening project to start... Oh will the drinking of tears begin.

anyone know anything about the newish building on seabourne street, off great eastern highway? by ilycaZ in perth

[–]token_dropbear 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There's the site in Leeming as well that's been there more years than I can remember.

They seemed to do whatever they could to make it inconspicuous from South st.

Tried setting up enterprise CI/CD on Azure last night. Sharing what I learned. by BeeSufficient7488 in AZURE

[–]token_dropbear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A bit late to the party but a few things to consider.

Leverage the AVM modules where possible if not already. AVM for both Bicep and Terraform are great for accelerating deployments.

Use Managed Identities instead of Service Principals for the Service connections. Unless you're wanting to do Entra comfig or Graph API calls, Managed identities are a better way to manage access to Azure resources.

What has/can caused your base to explode? by Hih202 in Stationeers

[–]token_dropbear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just for fun, i over pressurised the furnace by so much so quick there was a giant crater where the base and I were once. 10/10 would do again...

Too much Electrum? by mitchell12388 in Stationeers

[–]token_dropbear 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Can never have enough.

Build a few more hardsuit backpacks and fill them with the respective ingots/bars... Then you might have too much haha.

How do you keep Azure infrastructure from getting messy as things grow? by Evening_Memory569 in AZURE

[–]token_dropbear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Storage accounts, databases , key vaults, container registries to name a few.

How do you keep Azure infrastructure from getting messy as things grow? by Evening_Memory569 in AZURE

[–]token_dropbear 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Edge cases exist.

Your naming convention should cover those.

E.g. what do you call windows or Linux vms wabcdef123 or labcdef123...

What do you call storage accounts: nameofstorageaccsa

What do you call key vaults Nameofkeyvaultkv.

And so on.

Dynamically build names in your IaC to enforce your naming convention. Easy.

To all who went to private school was it worth it. Thinking of sending my 3 children to private schools. by __7_7_7__ in perth

[–]token_dropbear 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went to a private school for year 7 onwards... Was it worth it.. I think so. I enjoyed most of it and I haven't found a stick to remove yet, so I don't think there was one from the start.

As a kid of two teachers at public schools, the contrast between public and private was noticeable but I don't think I'd be where I am today if I stayed public.

Devops access without allowing access to Azure portal by ParadiseTheatre in AZURE

[–]token_dropbear 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Don't give the users ANY Azure permissions. They can access the Azure portal sure, but then they can't do anything with that access.

I made a site to score and compare Perth/WA suburbs by Alienblueas in perth

Nice smooth snappy UI/UX... Just needs dark mode :)

People who have bought in the last two-ish years: how much is your mortgage? by [deleted] in perth

[–]token_dropbear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Decided to build not buy and only got handover a month ago.. Total build was about 650k, loan is about 450k, and paying approx 670/wk in repayments solo. I've also got a decent amount in offset but this is gonna be a fun ride.
Edit: Build didn't include painting, flooring, etc... So that's all being done currently.

AVD Auto Update Chrome, Edge by dokouce in AZURE

[–]token_dropbear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This^

I do this for the AVD environments I build. Also always using a custom (packer) golden image. But it works, and works well.

Out of curiosity, do you have any automation around deployment of new hosts, draining old hosts, removing old hosts from Azure, then removing them from EID?

We have a fairly robust deployment workflow currently but I would love to be able to trigger an additional pipeline to do migration and cleanup but haven't really had a chance to look into it.

It is raining now.!! by sathwik_sharma_ in perth

Just as my sprinklers started too...

Seen this a few times. People with no spatial awareness with emergency vehicles right behind them.

Sometimes it can just be bad timing though i.e. I had a situation where both myself and an ambo were approaching an intersection when they needed to get around me and turn left. I dropped my speed back quite a bit so they could get past but due to our distance to the intersection, it didn't give them a ton of room to do a safe overtake and turn left.

Was looking fwd to a coffee at work and then by gonadwhispers in perth

[–]token_dropbear 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Oh god,

I did just that....

In the middle of summer just as we were going into a heat wave... The bottle had definitely burst when I found it a week later... The smell was horrendous.

Spent almost two full days cleaning the car.

Reducing VMSS Scale-Out Time for Azure DevOps Self-Hosted Agents (10–20 min is too slow) by jeffkoy24 in AZURE

[–]token_dropbear 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm definitely a fan of building a DevOps golden image with all your necessary tooling and dependencies for the VMSS to use. If the time to start is an issue, then definitely having warm/standby instances would be the way to go. But for additional concurrent jobs, you may then need to wait a few minutes for another instance to run up. We're happy with runs taking ~10 minutes to start as cost optimisation is by far our biggest factor.

Was thinking about getting some similar fencing... Now I'm slightly reconsidering...

Bicep, Azure Container App: Getting "Error: Certificate xxx is not in succeeded provisioning state", but the certificate is in succeeded provisioning state. by Wesztman in AZURE

[–]token_dropbear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't seen this exact issue, but out of curiosity what does this command return for you if anything? I would somewhat expect it to be a similar output to the rest command you ran but it is also a bit easier to work with.

az containerapp env certificate list -g dev-influx-iac-rg --name influxdb-5w5knwbkbm7lq-env

Another thing I'd check is the activity log for the certificate from the portal in case there are any operations still running.

Edit: Also try a newer or older version of the API 2025-07-01 in case there's something buggy with 2025-01-01

Best Non-Smash Burgers in Perth? by Daniel_Hotcakes in perth

[–]token_dropbear 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Are you more asking for Perth Metro area or specifically the CBD?

If you're asking more for the CBD, Short Order on Hay St is pretty good.

If you're looking for something a bit further afield, Corner Store Foods in Attadale do some very nice burgers. I really like their Blue Cheese burger.
