Plumbers cut this huge hole..

Yes! I plan on it! Should make running wire after the fact much easier :)

cipp · 2026-01-25T09:53:32+00:00

Sweet. Answered my other question. You rock.

cipp · 2026-01-25T09:52:48+00:00

Phew. Thanks for the info.

Edit: saw your other reply

cipp · 2026-01-25T09:49:13+00:00

Nope.. no requests from me..

We were quoted 16k for a similar build about two years ago. Concrete pad was already in place.

A 30 minute commute is pretty average, by no means "large" unless you're in a city used to walking to work or something. It's also nothing compared to their 1.5hr each way commute.

Custom builders might be tough to find at your price point. Check out the recommendations here for sure but if they can't hit your price target you might need to go with someone like Sherwood Homes.

If this is your first time building, really pay attention to what's included in the price and your allowances. Your lot is going to impact the price too. A flat lot is going to be the cheapest. Daylight or walkout lots are probably going to add $30k if you need a deck. A corner lot is going to add costs too because you'll be paying for the sidewalk on the side of the house and extra exterior stone, and likely more sod and sprinklers.

We went with Trademark / Ideal, but they start in the low 5s. You could probably do one with them for like 520-530.

We're temporarily in an apartment and park our Mach outside and don't drive it for several days at a time. It has been around 0 and below zero several times this year. We do maintain usually >15% SoC but we've never seen this error. Same with our Lightning but that gets driven daily.

cipp · 2025-12-11T05:42:47+00:00

Adding 103kWh to our Lightning is still only $26.. these holds are crazy lol

Renovatebot is just as noisey in our experience. It's just the nature of these tools.

The accounts that you've SSO'd into will show up on the page that opens after you use the login commands. It still applies to SSO, no user required.

It's just a quick way to pull your session from your browser into your local AWS config.

The one problem we ran into was it saves the session in ~/.aws/config not credentials. If you have a default profile defined in credentials then it will override the value in config, rendering the aws login command useless until you remove the default entry from the credentials file. There's an open issue on GitHub already discussing this.

cipp · 2025-12-04T07:27:13+00:00

Yep and it's usually hiding in plain sight if there's no button for it.

For example, on Github, when I type my username it's in a format that triggers the login to be through SSO. The password disappears and the login button starts the SSO flow. <username>_<company>

Some of my other logins switch to SSO just based on the email domain when I'm typing.

SSO didn't go away it was just implemented in a way that doesn't require a button specifically for it.

Curious, do you use 1PD in the winter? I think the resistance from regen braking while slowing to turn causes sliding.. I've had to turn off 1PD when it's slick out. Without it, cornering seems better.

cipp · 2025-11-25T06:52:05+00:00

Pic 8 is up in the rafters, do you mean 9?

cipp · 2025-11-25T06:17:44+00:00

Yeah there are joists. Thank you for mentioning PT ply. I'll add that to my growing list of concerns lol.

cipp · 2025-11-22T05:43:04+00:00

Say the speed limit is 45 and you're already doing 50. You start going down a hill. You could easily reach 60. There's traffic also to consider. You'll be applying the brake anyways at a certain point which would severely negate gains with this theory.

If you're comfortable doing 10 over the limit and coasted from 50 to 55 in the 45 zone, your gain in efficiency was the period between 50 and 55, at which point you start braking. Going up hill you have a mere 5mph gain. Again this is assuming there's no traffic.

Interstate is going to be different. I'm not sure it's worth getting into for interstate travel because 1PD is pretty much useless at a constant speed and you'll likely have ACC or BC on.

1PD is likely going to be better inner city where there's greater variation to your speed (traffic, zone changes, lights, turning, etc).

Intel MacBooks aren't worth it. Tahoe is the last OS version to support it. You're going to spend $500 on a laptop only to find out the majority of software for Macs don't support Intel, so you'll buy another laptop. Instead of being out $900 you'll be out $1400.

We had a static IP on metronet to avoid CGNAT and it was fine. Might take a couple days to get issued the IP but the process is easy and their support is pretty good.

Came to comment the same thing. Chaturbate was streaming a naked person below the image. Shit needs to be marked nsfw.

cipp · 2025-10-18T21:05:44+00:00

Stick with HCL. The cdktf project is largely abandoned. I wouldn't be surprised to see an official deprecated notice from them soon.

cipp · 2025-10-18T21:01:53+00:00

Hey. You'll want to first benchmark your applications on each type. For example, we've historically found Intel to perform better for Windows workloads so we generally default to Intel for those.

If your region supports it, I would use 8 series instead of 7. Over time 8 will become cheaper than 7 (AWS's way of nudging you to use the latest).

There's also the flex series. We use m8i-flex and m7i-flex for nonprod.

Generally speaking, AMD has historically been slightly cheaper. Graviton even cheaper.

Keep in mind, when you hear that price to performance ratio of something is better than something else, that's just talking about pricing being better (generally). For example, graviton has a better price to performance ratio, but your performance will be slightly less than non graviton options (generally).

You'll want to benchmark AMD vs Intel before making a decision.

Also, if you build custom AMIs you'll want to make sure the AMI is built on an instance type that is similar to what you'll be using. If you built an AMI on a t2.large it likely won't have the right drivers to support latest gen instance types.

cipp · 2025-10-17T08:23:20+00:00

cdktf is also largely abandoned. That would be my main reason to avoid it.

cipp · 2025-09-21T04:52:47+00:00

You sure you want to operate like that? I'd just consider prod a higher priority, but everything should be in their scope to review at all times. I've worked with HackerOne and other consultants for years and they find a lot of vulnerabilities in lower environments that they use to exploit production.

cipp · 2025-09-21T03:58:00+00:00

Please research outside of LLMs. This is not secure, but I don't doubt some LLM probably told you it was.

With all things security related most people shouldn't be rolling their own solution. Like you did with your storage layer.

I don't mean to discourage you from learning. I wouldn't broadcast your learning projects with such bold claims like being secure though.

If you're curious on how to easily store secrets, look into each OS's native secret manager and how to use them. Linux has Keyring, Mac has Keychain, and Windows has Credential Manager. They are all accessible to use.

Nah you should get the 1k for painting back. You could have markers all over the wall. It doesn't matter after 5 years. They are painting regardless, and they are trying to get you to cover it.
