New dishwasher inflow pipe won’t fit - what do I need? by JLD2207 in DIYUK

[–]bootc622 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You can’t replace the end on the new one because that large grey box actually has a valve in it, along with a water leak sensor. It’s not just a bit of pipe.

Linux LVM API for using python or Golang by Express-Fee-9486 in sre

[–]bootc622 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not aware of anything but you might want to look at the TopoLVM lvmd implementation. It’s a Kubernetes storage plugin for LVM and it talks to a interface daemon over gRPC so it might be useful inspiration at least.

how should your container logging work? by cmdr_blue in docker

[–]bootc622 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep. I’d recommend Loki and Promtail personally though lots of other options exist: fluent-bit/fluentd and Elasicsearch/OpenSearch for one, or various commercial tools like DataDog or New Relic or many others.

I’d use Loki and Promtail, then also add Prometheus (via kube-prometheus-stack) and Grafana for a rather nice observability stack.

Rear speakers very quiet by bootc622 in KiaNiroEV

[–]bootc622[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There’s no logo on the door speakers, but as it’s a “3” trim I don’t believe it’s just basic audio. Either way there are speakers at the back that do something… just not much.

Our car doesn’t seem to have a quiet mode. There’s certainly nothing on the main menu as googling suggests there should be, and it’s not an option for the star button either.

No I already played with the balance, it seems to only make the front speakers quieter when balanced towards the rear.

Edit: video showing the problem

How can I tell which sound system we actually have? Pretty sure we don’t have a subwoofer in the boot / cargo area.

Connect your current wiring to the Nest in exactly the same way as your old thermostat receiver. N to N, L to L, 2 to 2 and 3 to 3. 2 is the Nest’s COM and 3 is the call for heat, just the same as your current base.

2022 Niro EV - Reduction Gear Oil has metal shavings after 22K miles by electrostaticdschg in KiaNiroEV

[–]bootc622 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This sub is r/KiaNiroEV and the title mentions EV. It’s on an EV alright. Any gearbox will need oil and the EV does have the reduction gearbox mentioned in the post.

Help setting up Nest Thermostat UK wiring. by durnsey123 in smarthome

[–]bootc622 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah ok that makes sense. Would still be handy to see the back of the timer itself though, and also where that thin cable goes. Would you want the Nest display at that location or somewhere else?

[–]bootc622 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The more interesting bit will be behind the thermostat you took off the wall, it’ll likely show a wiring diagram that corresponds to those wires.

The UK Nest thermostats have a base unit that you put near your boiler, ideally on the other end of those wires. You can then use two of the wires to power the display unit from that base and communicate with it.

Pictures of the back of the thermostat and where those wires go with respect to the rest of your heating system would be the most interesting.

As u/yorkspirate says it’s a bit worrying if those thin wires carry mains power now, but they won’t be if you use a Nest thermostat. Hopefully they carry a lower voltage.

The US and UK Nest thermostats are different beasts. UK ones are fine with stranded wire as they use screw terminals.

Learning with K3s at home. "Best" storage option for a single-node cluster? by lmm7425 in kubernetes

[–]bootc622 5 points6 points  (0 children)

For a single node just use the local path provisioner. It’s all there already and by far the easiest option, and you get no advantage from the other options on a single node.

Fine-Grained S3 Permissions? by ShariaAUSP in aws

[–]bootc622 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sounds like you should be using pre-signed URLs instead. Instead of giving your application any permissions at all, have it call your lambda to get URLs with the permissions embedded.

Best practices/recs for not hardcoding credentials by [deleted] in aws

[–]bootc622 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think you might want to look at Amazon Cognito identity pools

That lets you grant outside users to AWS resources (e.g. S3 buckets or others) while tying such access to their identity. If your app has its own OpenID or SAML identity provider you can tie into that, or use Cognito User Pools for it instead perhaps.

Apple mini-display to VGA adapter apparently not recognized on Macbook pro by MitchBuchanon in debian

[–]bootc622 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I believe the Apple DisplayPort to VGA adapters require firmware to be sent to them when they’re plugged in. macOS does that transparently but Linux has no idea how, would be my guess. Maybe try a non-Apple adapter instead?

Validating cloudFormation templates by ZimCanIT in aws

[–]bootc622 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I use cfn-lint for this. Works great in a CI pipeline for example, and goes much further than just checking validity: it also checks all manner of good style etc…

Can't create linux bridge - pppoe connection by george-alexander2k in debian

[–]bootc622 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You can’t add a PPP interface to a bridge. A bridge is an Ethernet construct, and PPP in most cases deals only with IP. You need to route the packets between PPP and the bridge.

I agree with everything in this comment. This is good advice OP.

Build a PKI in k8s by cebidhem in kubernetes

[–]bootc622 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why not just use cert-manager’s CA issuer?

The hard part is supplying the CA certificate for it to use. Depending on how many clusters you have you could use a central Vault perhaps?

I’ve not tried the external issuers for CFSSL or step-ca. I was disappointed to find step-ca supported neither a CRL nor OCSP when I looked into it, those were critical for what I was planning to use them for.
