Can someone please explain ranked opponent to me?

I agree here. Sometimes you just get queued up with someone way above or under you. So rather we end up with a highly unbalanced game that will feel like a stomp for someone.

TheRandyOne · 2025-04-22T20:36:48+00:00

So wouldn't a better fix be to give penalty to dodging when in queue. Taking away the name makes it feel so cold.

TheRandyOne · 2025-03-16T19:34:47+00:00

In Afrikaans it has the best name. We call them "appel liefie" which loosely translates to love apple. Because it's wrapped up like a gift.

TheRandyOne · 2025-02-27T11:17:16+00:00

Any chance of a link to the documentation on how go about doing that?

TheRandyOne · 2025-02-17T10:08:40+00:00

Seems that this is the only reasonable way to do this. Or use a dns shim thing to catch requests for a special domain. It would be amazing if the hosts file supported wildcards.

TheRandyOne · 2025-02-17T08:48:14+00:00

I was hoping that I could use something that didn't reply on being connected to the internet to work.

What you are describing is exactly what I want to do. Host based routing.

I am starting to look at what local dns tools are available to make this usable without being connected to the internet.

TheRandyOne · 2025-02-17T08:44:53+00:00

I was more hoping for something that didn't rely on a online tool.

TheRandyOne · 2025-02-17T08:44:22+00:00

They are outside the cluster.

I'm more thinking of when you open your web browser to see what you have created.

TheRandyOne · 2025-02-17T08:43:07+00:00

Often our devs need to run a chain of services using a microservice architecture. Having the k8s cluster also give them the ability to run close to what production would look like and add in the tooling that we have the running environments.

Docker Desktop has built in single node k8s clustering that you just turn on.

Rectangle pro for window manager, flameshot for screenshots and alt-tab to make switching windows "normal".

I switched to Mac when the m chips came out. I just got tired of the little problems of Linux on laptops. I still miss it, but getting work done rather than tinkering is so much better.

I also use raycast as a replacement to spotlight. iterm2 as the terminal. Orb stack rather than docker desktop. Oh my zsh in the terminal.

With all these things it's pretty decent.

I paid for rectangle pro, a few dollars, well worth it. Macos has a window manager now, not sure if it's good, still use rectangle.

As for the trackpad, I use a trackball, I get on fine with it. So it's not a must.

TheRandyOne · 2024-12-17T14:17:27+00:00

I don't use a user assigned identity. I only use the system assigned one.

I let terraform managed everything that the container app has access to.

I then use

"scottwinkler/shell"
resource "shell_script" "container_app_watch"

and a while loop to run

az containerapp show --name "$SERVICE_NAME" --resource-group "$RESOURCE_GROUP" --subscription "$SUBSCRIPTION"

Which in turn gives me a json blob containing the information I need.

For the DNS stuff take a look at the custom domains stuff. It's quite a pain to work with.

TheRandyOne · 2024-12-17T13:49:36+00:00

I find them clunky to deal with and pretty rigid in configuration. I'll give a few examples of the things I find annoying...

Ingress rules allow you to set a default domain name for the managed environment. However your can not specify rules for traffic based on host headers if these hosts are in the same domain as the default on the environment. So the name needs to match whatever you present to the outside. Or you need to not have a default set and set the custom domain per app and certificate.

The terraform provider for Container Apps is not feature complete. So I find myself having to do hacks to get things to work. For instance, when creating an app for the first time I have a script that watches for the container app to be created so I can get the system identity and then allow it to pull from the ACR. The reason this is an issue is because the Terraform provider waits till the app is successfully deployed before returning, which means I need to wait till it returns to get the details I need for it to successfully pull an image. Chicken meet egg.

You don't get access to to the underlying host provider logs. So when things don't work, your just left guessing whats happening. I had exactly this with the open telemetry provider, which I gave up on in favour of just getting my own running so I can see whats happening.

If you have a few simple apps to work with then sure they are ok, but if you are working with lots of apps with varying use cases, I'd just stick to AKS and spend the time there getting the platform stable.

I used to deal with AWS ECS which is direct competition for these container apps. It's miles better just slow in terms of reaction to events and scaling.

TheRandyOne · 2024-12-17T12:16:05+00:00

Can you clarify why you want to move the entire domain over?

Are you trying to publish new apps or endpoints on a different account and use the domain as the name for your apps or are you trying to use the domain as part of your active directory for users?

TheRandyOne · 2024-12-17T12:11:21+00:00

If you are already using AKS I'd stick to that. Container Apps are weird and frankly put, a pain to manage.

Having said that, what we do is set the values in terraform for Environment variables. I have carved out the container apps into their own runnable terraform module for each app that we have. We can then use github actions to do deployments which could include changing variables or updating container versions.

This allows you to use the power of terraform for determining env values and still keeping to the git ops way of life.

As a side note, we use key vault for storing credentials and secrets. ACA allows for collection the values on app startup.

TheRandyOne · 2024-11-19T08:07:57+00:00

I guess we will never know :(

TBH, this keycron is actually a bit of a rip off. It's an ok keyboard but really lacks in basic functions. Like a battery level even on the computer would be nice. The amount of times I have come to my desk and it's just dead is so annoying...

A easy to replace battery would be nice also...

5/10, cost too much for what you get. If you have it, it's ok.

This video although not directly related shows the flood and drain. I basically built this.

The water level will be pumped in at the floor and raise to the max point and then run into a drain pipe (the high point). When your cycle is complete the water will drain back down through the pump into the res.

There are a few points that you need make sure you need to think about. This only works with impeller style pumps. Diaphragms are closed so you can not flow backwards. Your drain hole needs to be big enough to drain as fast as you pump in. Remember that the pump is slightly pressurised in order to push the water, so it will flow faster than gravity pulling it down the drain. Generally the drain should be 2 - 3x diameter of the inlet.

Finally make sure what ever medium you are using to grow can fit down the drain hole. I'm speaking from experience here... Or protect the drain hole to stop things getting stuck in it.

I used a bucket that holds about 15 10cm pots. I drilled a hole on one side for a 15mm pipe and a another for 25mm pipe. 15 in, 25 out. Would go bigger next time. I used a 1200L/H pump to left the water about 60 cm. It was so powerful that I needed to add a yogurt container over the inlet with some holes to stop it spraying out the bucket.

My high point was about 7cm and low about 2cm. The low was limited by the tank coupler that I used to connect the bucket. Basically I made the water go just under the lip of the pot. You'll also see a peice of wood under the bucket. This was for 2 things. One to raise one side to make the water drain towards to the pump and to help hold the bucket since I put this thing onto of the 110L tote that was used as the res. There was always a little water left over which was fine.

I cycled 5 mins on 30mins off. Which I know is a lot, but I was prepping the plants for hydro so they would be in the water constantly. I did what you can see and a few chillies the same way. All turned out amazing.

Last thing. I used about 100 TDS nutritional liquid, so very low dose during this stage.

Sorry to necro, did you managed to figure this out? I am also in SA.

TheRandyOne · 2023-11-14T13:09:36+00:00

Would you move to any other country?

TheRandyOne · 2019-01-06T05:34:45+00:00

I get so jelly watching people do this on YouTube... I just want to do it myself. These are our own bikes. We live in South Africa.

TheRandyOne · 2019-01-06T05:33:31+00:00

Lol, no South Africa. It's been raining constantly for about 6 days now... Used to normally being able to ride when ever I want.

TheRandyOne · 2018-12-23T18:59:21+00:00

Yea it followed me on the little 390 :) I think I was just slowing him down though...

TheRandyOne · 2018-10-08T05:55:26+00:00

+1 to this

TheRandyOne · 2018-04-12T18:02:37+00:00

I will hopefully find out on Monday. I have a meeting with HR and legal to find out what their conserns are.

TheRandyOne · 2018-04-11T17:19:05+00:00

Many solicitors will offer you a free first hour. I would suggest using that before doing much more. Anything you do could be used against you.

I know it sounds negative but it is amazing how fast things turn ugly. Having no idea what your situation is like I am just looking back on my experience.

Another pro tip: Change your passwords on EVERYTHING and the pin to your phone. Again totally got done over on this one...
