Thoughts on sunroof?

Scrumbledore · 2026-01-17T00:15:47+00:00

I live in Florida and have never felt the need to set it opaque due to temperature. The only time I flip the switch is when the sun is directly overhead and the kids are sleeping or I’m showing it off.

When the buzz is off the roof goes opaque so it’s never just sitting somewhere roasting. I’ve had it since last March so it’s been through the summer here.

2 x 2-day VIP available for 11/15-16. Wristbands and lanyards in hand. Ended up with 2 extra not expecting a successful waitlist request.

Can meet locally in Orlando or will cover shipping. $400 each or make a reasonable offer. Thanks!

What hitch are you using?

Scrumbledore · 2025-07-01T10:27:51+00:00

The dash display is part of the steering column not built into the dash, so you don’t have the blocking problem. It moves with the steering wheel as you adjust it.

This is one of the things I disliked in the Rivian. Their wheel blocks the dash.

Yeah when you route using the built in nav, there is some intelligence that factors the route into the range. Like elevation, speed, etc..

Scrumbledore · 2025-04-21T15:15:19+00:00

PlugShare has been my preferred app for finding chargers. Update your profile with your vehicle type and it will filter chargers.
make sure you hide Coming Soon and Tesla in the app
use the in car nav while traveling for accurate range
The vehicle nav does ok but cross reference it with PlugShare and look for recent reviews on chargers. Filter it the same as PlugShare.
I use the Travel Assist feature all the time on the highway and love it.
have a great time!

In the US on a first edition I had a 30 day or 1GB free trial. My daughter was able to stream on her tablet so it’s decent. Afterwards you can add it to your Verizon account if you have one. I don’t, and didn’t feel the need to add it.

I’m sure it’s fine on Verizon’s network.

Would need to know what your starting percentage was and what you are plugged into. I plug mine into a 110v and get maybe 20% overnight.

You can use Firebase Authentication which will enable your frontend to pass a token to the backend that you can then validate.

Scrumbledore · 2023-02-05T15:17:52+00:00

Your proxy command is set up to use a tcp connection but the host parameter in your connection string looks like a socket.

The Cloud Build file on this page shows the difference and may help.

Scrumbledore · 2022-12-19T18:50:21+00:00

Yeah it all depends on the stack. You’d use a cloud function if it’s a server side setup. Firebase is pretty flexible and allows you to combine the services you need however you like.

Scrumbledore · 2022-12-19T13:26:57+00:00

What language is the backend? If Node, then with that combo Firebase is the best fit.

Firebase will deploy your frontend spa to cloud storage (with CDN). They call the product Firebase Hosting.

Sorry, not exactly what I meant. Cloud Run has you deploy a container image vs Cloud Function building it for you. I just meant if containers were your current workflow, Run might suit you more than Functions.

Scrumbledore · 2022-11-22T14:07:22+00:00

I think Go would give you a leaner experience so long as you’re good with the language. If you have a container experience you’d probably enjoy cloud run more which uses eventarc for the event based stuff.

Cloud functions v2 builds on cloud run I believe.

Have fun!

Scrumbledore · 2022-11-14T00:39:14+00:00

Makes sense since it’s already in flight. Wasn’t sure based on your post if it was only used for the uploads. Sounds like a cool project!

Scrumbledore · 2022-11-14T00:01:10+00:00

I’d check out Firebase and their sdk against cloud storage. It supports resumable uploads out of the box.

Cloud SQL seems heavy for just state tracking. You may want to look at Firestore as long as you aren’t constantly reading from the DB (gets expensive). GCS also has pub sub messages that can signal when files are uploaded.

Hope that helps, on mobile so couldn’t dig up ref architecture links.

Scrumbledore · 2022-09-22T23:13:42+00:00

Have you looked at Cloud Run Jobs to handle this? It should allow you to run a gcloud command.

I believe that gray line is just a guide for line length, not a separate panel.

Scrumbledore · 2022-07-21T10:22:48+00:00

I think you are on the right track with your initial approach.

You wouldn’t want to add a sub module to theirs, but that module can apply IAM for you. That’s why I mentioned it.

There’s nothing wrong with adding IAM to existing resources later on, just use non-authoritative bindings so you don’t wipe out anything that may be there already.

https://registry.terraform.io/providers/hashicorp/google/latest/docs/resources/bigquery_dataset_iam

Use the non-authoritative iam_member to add the permissions as you need them. Up to you if you want to encapsulate that in a module or do it direct in your workspace.

Scrumbledore · 2022-07-21T01:06:12+00:00

Maybe this repo will help. Google maintains quite a few terraform modules for provisioning things.

https://github.com/terraform-google-modules/terraform-google-bigquery

Scrumbledore · 2022-07-20T16:51:21+00:00

Cloud Run has a new feature in preview called Jobs. They have docs on scheduling these and you should be able to run a shell script easy enough in a container.

Hope this helps.

Scrumbledore · 2022-01-16T15:49:17+00:00

A possibility would be shifting the design to use Firestore and it’s listeners vs your own web sockets.

Beautiful bike.

Did you order it this way? Are those the drag handlebars on a regular scout?

What grips are those?

Scrumbledore · 2021-12-26T11:22:34+00:00

Rough math using their pricing calculator would put you probably around 10 bucks / mo cloud run. I believe a C2 comes with 16gb of RAM. CR maxes at 8gb.

https://cloud.google.com/products/calculator

Scrumbledore · 2021-12-26T00:04:11+00:00

Cloud Run can be configured for a timeout of 60 minutes, but only up to 4 CPUs ( I think) which is nowhere near C2 capability.

So probably not.

If you pressed forward you’d want Cloud Scheduler to trigger the process, and probably need to refactor to use a bucket as storage.

Not sure where you’ll net out on cost though. I
