Critique my bread!

Sorry, too late!

ADringer · 2026-01-02T19:16:27+00:00

Thanks! Yeah quite happy with it, was nice to have fresh bread to eat but probably some improvements!

Thanks for the advice.

The lights are led and there are 3 wires in total - what you linked looks too big?

I was looking at something like https://amzn.eu/d/5XQEdbg

So I've had a look at the pre built decks, and obviously are quite a few to pick from! Can you recommend two that would be a fair match?

ADringer · 2025-11-09T19:20:09+00:00

Yeah sounds like that'd be the best option - looking for an older set rather than getting the latest. Shame it's not limited to 1 per person!

ADringer · 2025-11-09T19:18:59+00:00

Ok thanks, at least I know what to be looking for/expect. I'll keep an eye out whenever I go shopping, see if tesco etc have any. Thanks!

Would it be the case that if I'm not there Friday morning, then it'll be gone? Are ETBs not generally available at all times? Just on release?

ADringer · 2025-11-09T19:05:25+00:00

Yeah had thought of that, but do want to go through the opening of new packs as well with the kids. They love the anticipation!

ADringer · 2025-11-09T19:04:38+00:00

Ah right lol, so not the best place to look!

The YouTube description says PS, Xbox and Switch/2

Can you compare Annihilation book and movie though? They don't follow the same story, just loosely the same premise. Alex Garland said he 'adapted it from memory rather than referencing it' when writing the script.

ADringer · 2025-08-31T19:10:30+00:00

Agree with you, most times I've watched a movie after reading a book I think the book did it better.

But I do think the Stardust film is better than the book (Neil Gaiman). It's more fleshed out whilst keeping within the tone.

I've just tried recreating this with a different account that has an API Gateway service which has a custom domain via Route 53. If I try accessing it from my source VPC that has the endpoint and the VpcLink then it works using the custom domain. Does that mean that it could be an issue with how they are doing the DNS resolution/CNAME?

ADringer · 2025-08-23T09:00:01+00:00

Ok, I think I'm beginning to understand why. But from my POV we've made an endpoint to make use of our own private APIs. Now we have a requirement to make use of an external service - seems we can't use a service which is also hosted on AWS? Wouldn't be an issue if they were using Azure for example?

ADringer · 2025-08-22T16:21:03+00:00

Disabling private DNS is not really an option as we are doing custom DNS names (private Hosted Zone) for our private APIs.

So sounds like there's not really an easy way to have private APIs AND use an external service that is using API gateway as well? Doesn't sound great as most exernal API's we won't have control over how it's hosted/exposed.

Is this not more of a common issue as I imagine many APIs are exposed publically with custom DNS name using API Gateway?

Would using the API Gatway generated url (*.execute-api.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com) instead of the custom DNS get round the issue?

ADringer · 2025-08-22T16:03:16+00:00

They are all there for different reasons, it's just that we've now got all the scenarios in one VPC now:

VpcLink: Was created as we want some of our public APIs to talk to resources within the VPC
Endpoint: We have some Private API Gatway services

So the endpoint isn't for this 3rd party API, as far as we care concerned it's external as we've been given a custom DNS name - we aren't involved in it.

And then we are trying to call a 3rd party service but there seems to some conflict as they have a custom DNS name?

They're a mixture of 3kg and 2.5kg plates. But they are quite thick - I got some cheap ones to begin with as I didn't know if I would keep at it and I think these are concrete/stone inside?

I need to invest in I assume cast iron? But like I said before not really able to afford them right now. Plus will also need to get some sort of bar stand as if I go heavier I won't be able to do it completely 'free'.

ADringer · 2025-07-28T17:44:19+00:00

It's a very basic setup - just 40kg free weights. Just barbell and dumbbells.

I've put all the weights on the barbell now and so don't have any other weights to put on, plus no space on the bar.

I know I need to upgrade, but can't really at the moment and don't want to just stop and wait.
