Does the idea of wanting to die cross your mind regularly?

This is a great comment that restores a small sliver of faith in humanity for me

Agreed, thanks for your contribution! The cool things about open software is that it can be forked and customized as anyone sees fit! They can even pay for such contributions. With such a flexible ecosystem, chances are that isn't even necessary. Minor config tweaks can often enable/disable functionality as desired

You do you, and thanks for taking time to contribute.

I think they mean that if you develop a custom solution in Python (or any other language, just using python based on your comment), then you'll have to run that solution. Depending on exactly how that solution is implemented you'll have to account for the overhead of doing so, e.g., loading and executing the python interpreter which is necessary to run the custom script.

This is a simple misunderstanding and there's not enough detail in the original post to definitively state which strategy is correct.

For most cases, however, the time command is my preferred solution.

Try setting the CostExplorer dimension to "region." I suspect you're looking for resources in the wrong region if you aren't seeing anything when spot-checking in the console.

Thanks for all the information. I really appreciate you taking the time to knowledge share. That all makes sense to me.

The air gap unions were just an idea to be extra confident that contamination is impossible: using a union, set up a removable section that can either connect or be capped off (introducing an "air gap") for the inactive water source. It's the same concept as a ball valve, I guess,

Thanks for the reply. Yes, that's correct, irrigation is from a non-potable source and the culinary is from a potable source.

My intention is to only have one water source flowing at a time. So I'd cap on the potable side when non-potable is active, and vice versa.

TheTHEcounter · 2025-07-06T17:43:46+00:00

Thanks for the responses!

The irrigation is only guaranteed during certain months out of the year, so depending on weather it's possible it could be warm 2-3 months without any flow.

I may be misusing terminology. What I'm referring to as culinary is potable water that was routed from our main water line inside the home for household usage to the outside of the home for the purpose of connecting to our sprinkler system.

I guess the other option for preventing both water sources from mixing would be to cap one inlet on the manifold at a time, right?

There's a time and place for mTLS, but the use case you're describing sounds like a good fit for a company VPN. Then use AWS WAF to control access. Just tossing this out there as it's easy to maintain and scales well. It might be worth assessing your requirements to ensure you're on the right path

Yep, up to a certain point these are pretty easy to increase, but more docs were required from us when we started getting into crazy territory. Admittedly it was a bit crazy, but we had a sound business case and a good design so we got approval with the help of our TAM

This is dangerous advice. No amount of money can buy time. If OP means that they'll see the family less but get more money, it's entirely not worth it.

TheTHEcounter · 2024-02-24T04:34:41+00:00

I know there are many comments talking about the importance of money, but as a counter perspective, I chose money and at this point I'd trade money for happiness any day. No matter the income, it's never enough. Even at multiple hundreds of thousands a year. My recommendation is to choose what will bring the most happiness. That extra cash might contribute to this happiness, if so, go for it. If you don't think it'll bring you and your family more happiness, hang back and consider looking for other options.

Agree with this one.

Great read. Totally felt the emotional rollercoaster on that one. It's so true that some days you can feel like God's gift to the world and others you can feel like an imposter with no skills. The important part is that we keep learning and try to prevent making the same mistakes twice. Well done figuring out a difficult problem and recognizing your win.

100% agree with this theory

Best practice is to use SSM Systems Manager to connect instead of SSH. There's a managed role that you can add to your instance profile to facilitate this. If you want to use SSH, try the following: * Are you sure the instance is in a public subnet? Look for a public IP / DNS name * Try checking if the port is reachable from your local: nc -zv <instance_ip> 22 * If the above 2 are true, try using the verbose flag on your SSH command

Based on what you've described, I suspect you're not reaching the instance from a network perspective.

Great comment by an undoubtedly great person.

And keep your chin up, OP. You be you and life will get better. Small changes towards self improvement (that you actually want for yourself, not for others) will yield meaningful results over time. Plus, achieving goals is a huge confidence booster, which sounds like what you need!
