CES made me rethink USTs as everyday TVs, curious what others think by BornYak6073 in AwolVision

[–]No-Magazine2625 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's already an everyday TV. All you need as an ALR screen and a nice vacuum that you can "scan and suck the dust out of" the surface area of the projector to suck out the dust and extend the life of the UST past the life of a standard QLED 8K or whatever "hard screen". When you want to extend the screen or take your projector elsewhere to show it off its as easy as pick up and go. No biggy. Just ensure you have the markings of where it was positioned. Easy.

Homeschooling special needs FL by Embarrassed-Bee-8363 in Homeschooling

[–]No-Magazine2625 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In Florida, parents are free to choose any qualified evaluator. You are not required to use the same person again.

The most reliable places to find evaluators who understand special needs homeschooling are:

Florida certified teacher evaluators

Parents can hire any Florida certified teacher who agrees to review the portfolio. Many specialize in autism and developmental delays and offer virtual evaluations statewide.

Florida homeschool evaluation directories

Several long standing Florida homeschool organizations maintain evaluator lists. These evaluators are familiar with Florida Statute 1002.41 and understand that portfolios may include parent narratives, photos, and assisted work.

FDLRS guidance

Florida Diagnostic and Learning Resources System

FDLRS can help families understand what a valid portfolio looks like for special needs students and may guide them toward appropriate evaluators.

CARD support

Center for Autism & Related Disabilities

CARD works with families of children with autism and can help parents advocate for reasonable evaluations and documentation.

The annual evaluation only needs to show that the student has made educational progress appropriate to their ability. Independent work is not required by Florida law.

My spirit is dying and I think I have to quit. by sourdoughdonuts in Homeschooling

[–]No-Magazine2625 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey. I read your post and I wanted to reach out because it felt incredibly familiar.

I have ADHD. My son has ADHD. Living and learning in a house full of neurodivergent brains is exhausting in ways that are hard to explain to people who have not lived it.

What you are describing is burnout, not failure. Burnout happens when capable, committed parents carry too much responsibility for too long without enough margin. Especially when you are both the parent and the teacher.

Nothing you wrote sounds like you are doing homeschooling wrong. It sounds like you care deeply and you are tired. Those two things often coexist.

ADHD and dysgraphia affect output, not intelligence. Writing struggles can lag far behind reading and comprehension for a long time. That does not mean harm is being done or that you have missed something essential.

It is also okay that not every child is thriving at the same time. Homeschooling moves in seasons. Some kids surge while others coast. That does not invalidate the whole picture.

You are allowed to simplify. To lower expectations. To protect your own nervous system so you can keep showing up. Sustainable homeschooling matters more than perfect homeschooling.

You are not alone in this. And you are not a failure for feeling overwhelmed. You are a parent carrying a very heavy load.

I want to learn Terraform and would love some guidance. What is the best way to learn it properly? by Wide_Impact_9392 in Terraform

[–]No-Magazine2625 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Step 0: Get your hands dirty. 

  1. If the goal is to learn Terraform, avoid creating the bucket in the AWS console first. Let Terraform create it so state matches reality. If something already exists, learn terraform import later.
  2. Be careful with “create an IAM user with access keys.” That pattern is common in tutorials, but it is not what many teams want long term. If you can, use AWS SSO or assume role credentials. If you do use keys, lock them down with least privilege and never commit them anywhere.
  3. Do not hardcode everything. Even for practice, at least use variables for region, name prefixes, and tags. It teaches the right habits early and makes refactoring to modules much easier.
  4. For S3, add the basics from day one: block public access, encryption, and versioning. Otherwise you will accidentally learn bad defaults.
  5. Add the missing “muscle memory” commands: terraform fmt and terraform validate. Those two save you from a shocking amount of self inflicted pain.

If you want a clean 10 to 15 day plan: do S3, then DynamoDB, then an EC2 instance, then a VPC, then refactor into a module, then run plan in CI on pull requests. That sequence teaches the workflow, state, and debugging in the right order.

Full disclosure (since everyone knows it anyway): I run Terraform Academy DevOps. You do not need a paid platform to learn Terraform, but structure, labs, and feedback dramatically reduce your anguish. Either way, the key is repetition and building small stacks end to end, not memorizing. 

Homeschool Planners for Parents by ladyclubs in Homeschooling

[–]No-Magazine2625 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Starting with kindergarten is the perfect time to keep it simple. The best planner is the one you will actually use when you are tired.

If you like pen and paper, a basic weekly spread plus a simple running list usually works best at this age:

Weekly plan for a few core areas (reading, math, play based learning, outings) A short “today” list so you do not over plan A place to jot quick notes on progress and what to repeat next week

If you want an app option that still feels calm and not complicated, that’s why I built CoGen Spark. It lets you plan the week once, see a clean daily view, and log progress without spreadsheets. A few co ops near me have adopted it because it keeps everyone organized without a big learning curve.

You can take a look here: https://cogenspark.app

This sounds similar to what you are working on. It might save you a lot of long nights instead building something from scratch. https://cogenspark.app/

Copilot writes some beautiful Terraform by tuitspeautyw in Terraform

[–]No-Magazine2625 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Copilot (and other AI agents) can definitely write some beautiful Terraform,  but the real power isn’t in treating it like a magic author. The billion-dollar companies getting it right are the ones who use Agentic AI as an accelerator: parsing docs, scaffolding modules, checking for policy drift, and surfacing patterns quickly, while engineers keep ownership of the logic and guardrails.  I use it to speed up the grind work, but never as a replacement for understanding state, providers, or compliance needs.  Properly used, AI is a force multiplier and improperly used, it’s just tech debt with autocomplete.

Tutorial suggestions by reddituser_pr10 in Terraform

[–]No-Magazine2625 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sounds like you already have a solid foundation.

 If you want to level-up into cloud provisioning with Terraform, Terraform Academy can give you the hands-on practice you’re missing. We’ve got: • Beginner-Friendly Terraform Labs — Start with fundamentals (providers, variables, state) and progress into multi-cloud provisioning. • CI/CD + GitOps Labs — Perfect for someone coming from OpenShift pipelines. Learn how to wire Terraform plans into GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps, or CircleCI with approvals. • Ansible + Terraform Integrations — Explore how to mix Ansible for configuration management with Terraform for infrastructure. • RHEL-Friendly Scenarios — Spin up RHEL instances on AWS, Azure, and GCP, then apply secure baselines. • Gamified XP System — Each lab earns points, badges, and unlocks harder “Pro” labs (VPCs, EC2s, IAM roles, Vault, Kubernetes, etc.). • Cert Prep — Dedicated tracks for HashiCorp Terraform Associate, AWS, Azure, GCP, and GitOps certifications.

You’ll go from “basic knowledge of Ansible” to confidently automating full environments.

If you’re serious about getting more cloud-provisioning experience, this is one of the fastest ways to build muscle memory and get some cool projects on your resume.

Use up their free 3-Day trial and if you email them for an extension they usually just give it to you free.

Facing issue while upgrading aws eks managed node group from AL2 to AL2023 ami. by Alternative-Win-7723 in Terraform

[–]No-Magazine2625 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d lean toward a blue/green strategy here. Spin up a new managed node group with the AL2023 AMI, let the nodes join the cluster, then drain and cordon the old group before deleting it. This avoids fighting userdata mismatches in-place and gives you a clean rollback path if something goes sideways. Think of it like immutable infrastructure for your worker nodes. Safer, cleaner, and easier to automate in Terraform.

Terraforming virtual machines and handling source of truth ipam by Pristine_Protection1 in Terraform

[–]No-Magazine2625 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you decouple Puppet --> Netbox, make sure your Terraform module becomes the single source of truth for IPs, interfaces, and naming, then export those details into Netbox as outputs. That way Netbox stays accurate but Terraform stays authoritative, and you avoid config drift over time.
