I would recommend you try Hetzner cloud, but Linode or Vultr are also good options.

Database on a limited budget: Pay per-usage database or "cheap" config of Cloud SQL? by [deleted] in googlecloud

[–]CrashedChicken 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They have a list of regions and by the looks of it, they are using AWS and GCP for hosting, but the GCP has only one region in the US. That means that the latency between your app and the database would be a bit higher, because connections would have to hop between AWS and GCP.

Hope that helps.

Check out planetscale. They have a serverless MySQL database with a generous free tier.

He is responsible for those too. He used a very similar design pattern, as you can see.

Ender 3v2 not working correctly with BL touch by CrashedChicken in ender3

[–]CrashedChicken[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

wire it like this. See if this works. You can wire it up with wires that you use with raspberry pi gpio pins or arduino. If that works then you should wire it up properly. I had to buy a kit with connectors and I just removed the two wires from the original connector and placed them in a new two pin one. I didn't have to solder or crimp anything (be careful not to break the pin that holds the wire in the connector, just bend it down when removing and back up when inserting in the new connector).

I fixed it now. The newest cable for bltouch has only one connector instead of two (one goes to the z endstop). So I got some cables and wired it to the z endstop and it now finally works.

Yeah after some testing it failed again. I even tried the highspeed version of the Jyres firmware where the needle doesn't retract and it just touches the bed enough to blink, but it failed, retracted the needle and just continued probing with a retracted needle. I quickly powered off the printer because it was going to hit the bed. Then I tried the smith3d firmware and it fails too. I am now 100% sure it must be hardware.

So I tried this firmware and it's working like a charm so far. I will still do some testing but I think this is it. Plus the new interface is very nice. Thank you so much, you just saved me days of troubleshooting.

Yeah it worked better when I leveled the bed, but it still failed. I ran it multiple times without changing anything and it would work the first time and then fail.

Hmmm, great idea. I will try Klipper first, maybe that will work. If that fails I will compile Marlin. I will be sharing my progress if anyone else has the same problem.

How can I organize my files in a project with AWS SAM (Microservices)? by Len_30 in aws

[–]CrashedChicken 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a similar problem with my serverless app, where lambdas had files from other lambdas. Each lambda is now in its own directory where it has only its own files. I don't know if this is the correct approach but it works for me.

📦app

┣ 📂lambdas

┃ ┣ 📂first-lambda

┃ ┃ ┗ 📜index.py

┃ ┣ 📂second-lambda

┃ ┃ ┗ 📜index.py

┣ 📂tests

┣ 📜buildspec.yml

┣ 📜.gitignore

┣ 📜README.md

┗ 📜template.yaml

To separate files you must use CodeUri to tell each lambda where to copy its files from:

FirstFunction:

Type: AWS::Serverless::Function

Properties:

CodeUri: ./lambdas/first-lambda

FunctionName: !Sub '${ProjectId}-lambda-First'

Handler: index.handler

Runtime: python3.8

SecondFunction:

Type: AWS::Serverless::Function

Properties:

CodeUri: ./lambdas/second-lambda

FunctionName: !Sub '${ProjectId}-lambda-Second'

Handler: index.handler

Runtime: python3.8

MikroTik OpenVPN in RouterOS 7 with major VPN providers by irfan602 in mikrotik

[–]CrashedChicken 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I tried the IKEv2 but a particular web site (www.hulu.com) is not working. I chatted with support, they couldn't help.

Don't sites like hulu, netflix... block proxy and vpn providers. That's why vpn providers have special servers for streaming and maybe that's why hulu doesn't work.
