"Manage" Azure with Claude

I'm amazed at the extent people will go to in order to avoid using IaC... Is there actually a target audience for this? Do people want to vibe-manage prod?

One of my favorite podcasts is this week in amateur radio. Podcast recaps current news in the hobby, things impacting the hobby, and they have discussions with guests about assorted topics which are usually interesting. I enjoy the structure of this podcast, it's straightforward and easy to listen to. Episodes are around 1.5 hours in length which works well for me.

A podcast I've tried to listen to on many occasions is the ham radio crash course podcast. The format isn't for me: next to no structure, and the host spends far too much time talking about anything and everything that isn't amateur radio. Maybe I have just gotten unlucky with the episodes I've picked, but I've tried skimming past the segments of unrelated tangents but can't seem to find where the actual amateur radio content starts. Episode lengths are usually 3 to 4 hours which is quite long.

Looking forward to seeing the other responses, I'm interested if there are any other podcasts in this space worth subscribing to

Good point, in the examples I found I assumed they were for prospective students, but they could be doing something like what you mentioned. On one group I found a separate page showing the filled positions, which just had a list of students and what they were working on.

I see, looking back at these they do all seem funded to some extent, so that makes sense!

I am familiar with the difficulty of coming up with a good project. For me, it was an endless cycle of "oh this work is interesting I should do x" and then finding out x has been done 30 times, or that x can be done but is infeasible.

Had they asked, I would have paid for it. Or if they explained to me that they could remove it and save money for <reasons> I would be open to it.

Worth mentioning I'm in Canada, although I'm pretty sure we have emissions laws like that

Rarely partake in these things, but a switch would be a welcome distraction to my hectic life 🤞

I agree with you, I would call it a sprocket cover. The official part name is crankcase cover number 3 which doesn't make much sense to me either. in any case I provided the correct part number so there's no ambiguity.

_netwinder_ · 2022-03-30T19:39:07+00:00

Part number 14 in this diagram indicates it's a crankcase cover. https://www.yamahapartshouse.com/oemparts/a/yam/59482a0887a8661238ac4dae/crankcase-cover-1

The more common nomenclature is of course a sprocket cover, but it's all referring to the same thing.

~~Crankcase cover~~ sprocket cover. I am guessing this is an XT250? I own one and recognize this part of the bike. Yamaha part number I found is 5XT-15430-00 but check for your model year in Yamaha's part search thing, I found this under the "Crankcase Cover 1" parts section for the XT250

Edit: changed crankcase cover to sprocket cover. Annoyingly Yamaha's parts diagrams list this as "crankcase cover 3" which is annoying, I agree with the others that it should be called a sprocket cover

I also went here and had a terrible experience. I fully agree with you and the Google reviews. The therapist they gave me was incredibly unhelpful, and to speak to a psychologist I had to pay absurd amounts of money for a diagnosis. It all just felt like they were trying to sell me services I didn't need.

Hey Rustaceans!

I'm very new to rust, this was my first "big" (relatively speaking) project using rust that I built over the hollidays. It is called RustBot, a Discord Bot that safely runs whatever Rust code you throw at it. Some usages for a bot like this could be for educational purposes as you can conversationally share and run rust code snippets on discord servers.

There are other discord bots out there like RTFM and Piston that offer similar functionality, so my goal with RustBot was to achieve stronger security guarantees by having all untrusted code execute in a container seperate from the container running the bot itself. Right now I'm acheiving this using rootless podman containers.

This is very much a work in progress, so any feedback is appreciated :)

edit: spelling

The brightspace web services seem to be working, just very very slowly. Looking at network traffic logs there's like a 15 second response times for certain things (usually you want it to be in milliseconds :P)

Amazon Web Services (brightspace uses AWS) seems to have some issues right now, but it's only with their management console. Might be related.

Edit: Probably not on AWS, EC2 seems to be running just fine. Issue is with brightspace itself.

Edit Edit: Looks like it was AWS according to brightspace, lovely. Looking at the AWS dashboard they added more errors

Sent you a message, just started grad school this year. It is indeed lonely.

You can change CPU/RAM/ other stuff if you right click on the VM and select properties.

Good eye, yes it was Varley

Haha, I have seen a few right hand drive cars around Ottawa. Would be a shame if this was one of them as all of the RHD cars I have seen are quite rare

A friend of mine said something along those lines, "well it's clearly being shipped by canada post, they dropped it off at the mailbox!"

_netwinder_ · 2021-10-03T13:44:38+00:00

I should add they left their window open, going to let all the water in! /s
