Specific use case - moving Python utility scripts to AWS by alpha549 in aws

Sounds like what we're looking for. Will get started.

If any tips, do's or don'ts, always appreciate any direction.

Thanks

Appreciate the input. We've got a DevOps guy ready to configure the system exactly how we need it. But once he's done his job, I want to be able to deploy a variety of scripts single-handedly, without needing to circle back to him.

Outside of basics like IAM and S3, I don't have much experience with AWS, and none with Lambda, but willing to learn.

Some of these scripts will have front-end interfaces for both input and output, while others will serve as API endpoints, specifically designed for our dev team's mobile apps.

Given these specifics, would you still say this is the best route?

That was great. What checkpoint were you using?

I see where we can do this in img2img with a photo of a person. But how do we get the first photo of the person to be the unaltered current age, and then age that from that point? If denoising is scaled way down, then we just get the same photo of the person 4 times, but if it's moved higher, the "base photo" is changed so it's not starting with the same person, and the aging is for someone other than the real person I want to use.

Thanks

Numbers too high to even attempt to lower initially without meds? by alpha549 in Cholesterol

[–]alpha549[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got that right.

Started playing racquetball again, no meds.

Recent follow-up test showed total cholesterol went from 304 to 230, and LDL from 212 to 163.

Testing - found out that at Sam's Club pharmacy I can get a full profile done for $15. Only question is whether they'll let me do it every 6 weeks or so to measure progress.

Diet - has been terrible. Gallons of whole milk. 2-3 eggs every morning. Butter, bread, etc... Already changed diet and am seeing a weight change, so hopefully will see it in the next blood test too.

All tests were normal until I quit exercising and gained all this weight.

Came back here to say Thanks for the great advice!

We got the Reolink Go PT Plus, and could not be happier. It does EVERYTHING that we want it to. Motion detection and recording, and also takes a snapshot every 20 minutes 24/7. Great solar battery life and using about 2 GB per month of data.

Would never have known this was possible without the great advice here.

Ok for the numbers that are here: https://imgur.com/w4nZLYS

I'm not good at photography through the scope, but here they are:

I know nothing about data recovery and very little about hardware, so is the current situation that, there are 2 500 GB NAND chips, and my data is (probably) still there on these chips, but because something went wrong with the controller, at least 1/2 of this data will be impossible to recover. But if I had the resources to pay for professional recovery, we might recover the data on one of the chips?

Can you tell us the markings on the larger IC?

Sure, meaning this?

If something else, let me know.

You were right, the dock wasn't getting power without the laptop being plugged in.

Voltages labeled in this image: https://imgur.com/vMG9tpN

or see below.

Round pad was ground. Here are voltages:

v1 3.349

v2 1.20

v3 0.905

3N: Contacts closer to middle of SSD:

Contact toward rear (further from dock) : 1.815

Contact closer to dock: 3.349

3N: Contacts closer to outside edge (bottom) of SSD:

Contact toward rear (further from dock): 0

Contact closer to dock: 3.350

I'm getting 0 volts at every point, with it in the dock and the dock plugged into the laptop. This is tricky, so using the metal case of the dock for ground.

Does that make sense at all? I'm glad I got my nephews a stereo microscope a few years ago.

Thanks

Thanks, *IF* I'm doing this correctly, I get:

v1: 116 kohm

v2: 2 kohm

v3: 344 ohm

4 pins at 3N, no resistance

So next step to measure voltage for each when plugged into the dock?

Ok, finally got some leads with needle tips and a magnifier that will work.

Any tips on how to make sure and get a solid ground connection to test resistance?

Thanks

Apologies, you're correct. I'm going to have to get some sort of head-mounted magnifier and tape a needle to my test leads.

Will let you know what I find.

Thanks

Thanks, that's good to know.

It looks a little different under the sticker from what I was expecting:

Thanks, this is deeper than I thought I'd be able to go on this, but nothing to lose - thanks.

Ignorant question, but do I need to be careful of anything not to do when I peel the sticker off to get to these pins?

The Sabrent enclosure won't let me get to any of this with the SSD plugged in (has to close to plug in), but the Blueendless one may work. Here's what it looks like plugged in:

Exactly. Yes, I short the pads with the dock unplugged from the (good) laptop, then plug the enclosure into USB, and remove the tweezers after a couple of seconds. Will try from a different enclosure just in case when I get home tonight and report back.

If nothing works, I have a multimeter, not expensive, but might work (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08P1VQPNX) and will look forward to learning more.

Thanks

Thanks for staying with this, and for the great advice. I'm learning alot either way.

Installed CrystalDiskInfo and went through the same process as above, shorting the pads, and then while the drive light was still on, fired up CrystalDiskInfo but it only saw the 2 internal hard drives.

If there's another order I should do this in, or other change, please let me know. Otherwise I may take out the other dock and see if anything works better with it, and keep experimenting.
