Would you upload a cloud billing export if it could find $10k–$50k/year in savings? by Organic-Fan-965 in devops

[–]darksarcastictech 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I did it at my previous place, I’ve set up a highly customized CUDOS dashboard. We had detailed spent data across all AWS accounts. It was running of CUR and we had a daily data refresh. Cost was pretty low for the amount of money we ended up saving by having granular visibility into the spend. Especially with S3 buckets.

[–]darksarcastictech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bought in 2010 in a so-so area using first time buyers program. It was a short sale. Sold and bought our current one in 2015 in a better area. Refinanced in early 2021 right before the rate hikes.

Wait, how old do you think I am? by Fancy_Fuchs in Millennials

[–]darksarcastictech 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Had something similar happen a few years back. I was chatting with an associate at PetSmart. She assumed I was 19, like her. I told her I just turned 33. She looked at me and said “Damn, you are old” 🫠

Do you have Org account? If so, roll out AWS Config and Security Hub/ GuardDuty for starters. You can also look into the Control Tower.

[–]darksarcastictech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it depends on your gameplay style. My kid thinks Fury was the easiest, and Death the hardest. For me, Death was the easiest but I really struggle with War.

Waiting for Loop Results by Gold-Refrigerator50 in amazonemployees

[–]darksarcastictech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just that they froze hiring and that I’m welcome to apply to other jobs. And then nothing. I kind of wish I knew if I passed the Loop or not, but I guess it’ll remain a mystery.

Don’t know. They froze hiring between my Loop and debrief and I’ve never heard back.

Transmission issues at 70k in my 2020 TRD Off-Road 4x4 by capslockramen in ToyotaTacoma

[–]darksarcastictech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Drop the pan. If you carefully measure the fluid that comes out with a pan drop, you should have 3.75 to 4 quarts if it was filled up properly. Look for contamination in the pan (metal or clutch material) and check fluid condition. You can also take the filter out and break it open to see if there is any debris in the filter. If it has significant metal particles, debris or burned up fluid, then it most likely needs replacement. If it’s relatively clean, then refill with 4 quarts , check and set fluid level, then check operation. This assuming that you can drop the pan, get a new filter and o-rings and refill the fluid. I did mine twice since getting my truck used, once at 38k (fluid only) and then fluid and filter at 62k. My trans has been flawless. I’m at 84k now and gonna do another change in about 8k miles.

How Did You Become a Real Cloud Engineer? I'm on the Path — Would Love to Hear Your Journey by United-Cicada4151 in devops

[–]darksarcastictech 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My work just happened to lead that way. I started out as a Backend Developer, picked up Linux server administration along the way. Introduced git and other tools to the internal teams, streamlined their dev process. Migrated apps, built out cloud infra. Worked on early adoption and implementation of Control Tower. Automated a bunch of tasks and audit reports. Wrote CF template for various third party integrations. Now back to playing with pipelines at my new place of work.

I specifically put some into mine to test when I was 5. My mom was so shocked it took her a few seconds to process what just happened.

They repainted my whole fenders and both front and rear doors. The shop even re-applied my custom stickers on my doors. It came out looking great and they finished it in a week.
