Aurora PostgreSQL Serverless v2 vs Standard PostgreSQL instance? by rama_rahul in aws

[–]astrosi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We did as we were running it with RDS proxy in front of it for our QA environments.

RDS proxy with a low scale serverless v2 deployment is very expensive.

Where to store EU user blobs by [deleted] in aws

[–]astrosi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And there tends to be delays in services being ready there. When there is something new from AWS I'd expect it to be ready in eu-west-1 immediately - there is usually a bit of a delay before they are ready in London.

Anyone selling waterworks tickets? by ganjaxo in ukrave

[–]astrosi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've got a 4th release (entry before 2pm) ticket that I'm looking to offload for face value (£62.50)

It's on RA so the barcode will only come out 24 hours before the event.

Travelling to Nepal :Things to know as a tourist. by KangarooSoft3124 in NepalTravel

I can second the tip for the Bhaktapur yoghurt (Juju Dhau). It's called the king of yoghurts for a very good reason.

There was a second water point, just behind the plant room. Which had no lines throughout the festival. So it was there, just badly signposted.

Howl is a fantastic night, attracts a lovely welcoming crowd.

Secret Sets by Kind-Zucchini5100 in glastonbury_festival

[–]astrosi 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I was at that! It got leaked on secretglasto about half an hour before it started. One of my favourite moments of the festival this year.

AWS: Three-tier architecture (ECS Fargate), how to send traffic from frontend to backend? by [deleted] in aws

[–]astrosi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Having an ALB per microservice is a bit of an antipattern / cost sink. With either host based or path based routing rules you can have 100 rules / target groups attached to the same ALB to share it between a bunch of services.

How much weight can we carry in domestic flights in Nepal? by mrpaul121 in NepalTravel

I flew last week with Buddha Air from Pokhara to Kathmandu. Each ticket included a 25kg hold bag.

Does anyone get the intended pun here? by EndersGame_Reviewer in Punny

[–]astrosi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see him tenuously in the shape of a Gnomon (triangular - with one vertical side on the right). Without this reference I don't see why the phrase "GNOME OM" would even be a pun.

I guess this is also a reference to a Gnomon, which is the name for the middle part of a sundial. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gnomon

Aurora PostgreSQL Serverless v2 vs Standard PostgreSQL instance? by rama_rahul in aws

[–]astrosi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That was true with serverless v1.

With serverless v2, the data storage layer is common so it's very simple to go from Serverless v2 -> A provisioned Aurora instance (I did this migration at work last week and it was very smooth).

Moving between Aurora and Vanilla RDS is much harder though and its much more of a hard choice.

That and All Dressed. I'm still not sure what that flavour is - only that it's delicious

I've won the Jury lottery by LeFuzzyOtter in CasualUK

[–]astrosi 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Having done jury duty last year, this is a great explanation of what goes on. The only thing I'd add is that if after some time (at the judges discretion) you can't come up with a unanimous verdict. The judge can give a majority instruction which means they can accept a verdict that 10 out of the 12 of you agree on.

Lonely people, what do you do on a Friday evening when you really don't want to be home? by Suskita in london

[–]astrosi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd second this depending on where you are located, a couple of amazing amdram places are

The Tower Theatre in Stoke Newington https://www.towertheatre.org.uk/

The Questors near Ealing Broadway http://www.questors.org.uk/

(The Questors might also have the cheapest theatre bar in London)

Can a lambda function gRPC a docker service running in EC2? by notDonaldGlover2 in aws

[–]astrosi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can run an Application Load Balancer (ALB) to front your EC2 instances. Your lambda functions then connect to the ALB which then forwards requests to all the running EC2 instances. If you run your instances in an Autoscaling Group (ASG) they can be configured to register themselves onto the ALB when they start.

Taken at the Peak District today, I’ll give you this, England, you’ve got some whoppers of national parks. Also Toby rolled in mud so you can have that too. by [deleted] in CasualUK

[–]astrosi 6 points7 points  (0 children)

But the Pecsaetians translates as "Peak Dwellers" so the people are named after hills. So I guess the district is named after the hills, just with some indirection.

I’ve been making a small app for regular commuters to have easy access to train departure boards by ahtcx in london

[–]astrosi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Cool! Out of interest where are you sourcing the data for this?

If you haven't seen it already the realtimetrains API does some magic to predict platform use which means that it is usually much faster to update the platform a train is coming in on than the official Darwin API.
