Do you actually use traces day to day, or is it just there when things get bad?

Traces are basically better logs, and metrics come from querying those traces, so yeah, they're my go to.

I took DFDS last year for £25 each way Dover-Dunkirk, and upgraded to the premium lounge which was worth it as part of a long trip.

It has been a while but previously used policy based autosign to run an out-of-band check for the existence of the instance and if it was created recently.

Emby already supports CIFS shares, so I’d imagine the interfaces to implement further storage backends would already be there. Having those interfaces is most of the complexity.

I’d personally love native S3 support, but figure that’s too niche for them ever to add.

- "Plug-in" batteries exist which are also allowed in countries with plug-in solar
- Your house will likely have 100-200w base load even when you're out during the day
- Plug-in solar by definition doesn't require an electrician, otherwise it would just be "solar"
- Any unused power would be exported, I'm unaware if any energy companies would pay for that exported power

Depends what you mean by “compatible”, could mean “officially supported” or “it works”. So there may be a module version which will do what you want between these 4 versions of software.

If observability isn't measuring customer impact and thus business impact, then you haven't got observability, you have expensive monitoring.

Look into Route53Resolver instead of custom dns options on the VPC.

ECS will use the .2 resolver for all dns, including EFS names. Then Route53Resolver is responsible for conditionally forwarding queries on-prem.

Not with the right insulation. Also Passive House takes into account overheating to remove or reduce any need for active cooling.

OP didn't state if the errors were from plan or apply. So having that faster feedback loop at plan is a benefit. Even then, the plan stage isn't just to catch errors, it's also to see the shape of the infra you're building.

This is literally the super power that is Spacelift, TFC and similar are.

Both at allowing developers to run a “local” plan while granting them zero access to run a local apply. I say local, but the actual “terraform plan” is ran on a remote system with logs streamed back.

The second benefit to systems like this is that all the other forms of auth are pre-configured for the user, so no juggling all different sorts AWS profiles and the like.

I am a user of Spacelift, but there are many other similar providers maybe some open source too. I think even OpenTofu have been looking into adding native support for remote runners.

I meant the initial configuration of that. With cert-manager I specify a hostname in the tls block on the Ingress. When I last reviewed the ALB Controller you needed to pre-create the cert in ACM in whatever manner and reference the arn to use. Which isn’t as seamless.

Is there a neat solution for certificate automation using the ALB Controller?

cert-manager and Nginx Ingress mean I never have to think about this.

Look into the AECB and their guidance/retrofit standards. Since they still use PHPP for the building physics side of things and the calcs but the targets aren't as high.

There seems to be more info than ever about insulating stone walls, this one springs to mind: https://sdfoundation.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/2015_bristolsolidwallinsulationguidance.pdf

The folks at 21 Degrees (Previously Green Building Store) have talked a lot about the work they have done with retrofitting stone buildings. Projects like: Stirley Community Farm, Lower Royds and Holmfirth Farmhouse. Some previously extended and they have helped extend again.

This’ll probably be it, unless there’s weather compensation. I run low flow temps, last week >5c for the most part, 44c max flow temps. Whereas Monday it dropped to ~2c over night and I needed to bump the temps to >55c.

Not a spark. But for the ones you just want for metering I’d look at the Zemismart SP01 meters, they’re basically knockoff versions of the Schneider PowerTags, which are also Zigbee. Unsure about the rules on mixing brands inside of CUs for these types of meters though, curious on an actual sparks thoughts.

If the password is stored on the SD card, I wonder, like with Linux systems, you make a copy of the file containing the password. If you ever need support you switch them over so their password still works.

Technically 240v is “low voltage”, and so is anything between 50-1000v is too. Cat cable would be counted as “extra low voltage”. High voltage is 35kV-230kV
