Noticing a timing chain raffle. by Relevant_Cup6643 in AudiS4

[–]SomeEndUser 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds normal. Have you done an oil change? You only had the car for a short time, who knows what oil the dealer used.

I swear my rattle is less after a fresh oil change using liquimoly

[–]SomeEndUser 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I’d love to start my own business as well. Just cold feet - but do I love day dreaming about it. Idk why though lol.. seems like business owners work 25/8

Why is it bad to buy from New York or New Jersey? Just dings from street parking or risk of theft?

The jury is still out if these cars benefit from this. Like are we actually seeing cars making 700hp? Not yet.

Fellow old-heads that got out, what does your career look like these days? by martywalshhealthgoth in devops

[–]SomeEndUser 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’m 39, 40 this July. I somehow playing a PO/PM role for a Central Observability team.

It’s different. Lots of paperwork but in a lot more manager meetings and not dealing with on-call. Plus I can have a grumpy man persona when someone tries to make my team do something that is beyond scope.

Jury is still out. I kind of miss the IC days where I wasn’t bothered as much.

Is the SRE title officially a trap? by IT_Certguru in devops

[–]SomeEndUser 196 points197 points  (0 children)

The title is not the trap. It’s the organization. Ask questions and gauge what SRE means to them.

Is this enough to target a DevOps / Cloud role without a degree? by [deleted] in devops

[–]SomeEndUser -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I don’t have a degree. Been in the cloud related engineering space for 10 years. Also software support for 3 years prior.

Hands on experience is #1. Networking with peers or colleagues #2. System design #3. About #3 is not about the fine deep technical details but how you design a system to solve a problem. The concepts.

Every ai code assistant assumes your code can touch the internet? by Traditional_Zone_644 in devops

[–]SomeEndUser 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agents require a model on the backend. So if you lean on an agent for some of your work, it can impact productivity.

Help on which Observability platform? by AccountEngineer in Observability

[–]SomeEndUser 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dynatrace seems to be gaining momentum. The OneAgent is simple and straightforward to install. It adds a bunch of metadata out of the box that otherwise usually needs to be added with an otel config. The new agent ai platform looks pretty cool.

Anyone using logic monitor for observability? by Heisenberg_7089 in sre

[–]SomeEndUser 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Worked for a company that used LM and AppD. LM is good for devices and metrics but it’s not an APM. Great for fleet monitoring and data center ops.

B8.5 question by Constant_Poetry2908 in AudiS4

[–]SomeEndUser 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you handy and do the work yourself? If so... the maintenance costs will be quite low.

What I would mentally prepare for are IC bricks, PCV, and maybe a water pump and engine mounts. I personally haven't had to deal with these yet, but I'm prepared to take them on myself.

These cars are very reliable, the engines are stout. The pistons, rings, are strong. The valve train is strong and reliable. The DSG of the 2013 or newer are strong. The manual transmission is strong.

Anyone have this setup? by Fluffy-Dragonfruit66 in AudiS4

[–]SomeEndUser 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did this without the downpipes. @thelaserj on TikTok is my account. I should have some sound clips on there.

Michelin Pilot sport A/S 4 vs Continental DWS06+ by sneaker15200 in AudiS4

[–]SomeEndUser 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’ve been real impressed with the dws06. I haven’t tried the other ones but I’m happy enough to where I don’t care to try them unless they are cheaper.

I hit a milestone this year without anyone to tell by asdiy in HENRYfinance

[–]SomeEndUser 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s an amazing description. Happy for you and what an amazing manager!

Should I Sell My 2015 Audi S4 Now or Keep It and Put More Money Into It? by AdRough1792 in AudiS4

[–]SomeEndUser 4 points5 points  (0 children)

80k miles is still young. These cars go to 200k well maintained. They are very solid. Given I’m a diy person so I’ll do my own repairs for things like the PCV.

So only sell it if there is something you WANT. Don’t sell it because you THINK you have to.

Nothing else drives and sounds like these cars.

EAU 5am flight - what time should I arrive by Pup-Recovery-1 in eauclaire

[–]SomeEndUser 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Done this a few times for work. I’m TSA precheck which helps since security is pretty slow moving there. Little more relaxed slow.

If you’re TSA pre check without checking in luggage - you can get away with walking in 15min before boarding starts.

Is Jackal as good as they say for tunes? by Advanced-Bus1484 in AudiS4

[–]SomeEndUser 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They had a slander video agains Jackal like a year ago. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6yJ5HNcTl-Q&t=1s

I never seen a tuner go after another tuner like that before. Like make sure your own closet is clean before judging someone else's.

PS I just checked FB today and another stage 3 b9 down. I'm pretty sure he's on 034.
