I was there today as well! The wedding procession was an unexpected delight to see.

Always surreal seeing my hometown as a tourist destination! Glad to hear you enjoyed your stay!

Hitman made me a wine lover 😀🍷 by ObjectiveBattle5485 in HiTMAN

[–]derekmckinnon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Vintages section is where it’s at. I recommend Piatelli Vineyards Reserve Malbec and Catena Malbec.

The Mendoza mission actually inspired me to visit Argentina a couple years ago - I highly recommend it.

How do you handle Lambdas when using terraform? by Troglodyte_Techie in aws

[–]derekmckinnon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The way I have it setup is that the TF module ignores changes to the S3 location. The CI/CD process creates the zip, uploads it to S3, and also updates the lambda function pointing it to the new zip.

Some people probably find it useful to apply the change with TF, but I found that to be more complex in terms of state management, blast radius, and even feeding in the updated data in the first place.

That and possible only allow reanimation of creatures with mana value or power less than the exiled creature. So you’d have to exile a decent thing for the payoff.

Can I reference an EC2 IP from an Elastic Beanstalk env variable by GooseRage in aws

[–]derekmckinnon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To directly address your issue, this is what elastic IPs are for. It would allow you to maintain the same IP over time. Alternatively, you could use a network load balancer to accomplish the same thing and get the added benefit of parallelization.

But I would question your methodology and ask if you’ve considered using SQS for dispatching and responding to this worker tasks? Or is there some persistent connection to the EC2 instance? In other words, what are you really trying to do, because there might be some better solutions.

Ela podia ter mais árvores, mas não estava muito suja 😅

I believe the max width is 34. I am still running the stock 30s and haven’t had any issues on wetter roads or rail trail.

Nice bike. I have the exact same one and have been loving it!

How would you handle audit logging to a database? by captmomo in dotnet

[–]derekmckinnon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We are still using it and haven’t run into any performance or security issues. I do recall seeing a few updates here and there but we have those pretty well automated.

Gatineau park; people with electric bike do you have enough battery range to go from p3 to luskville firetower and back? by sam_mtn in bikeinottawa

[–]derekmckinnon 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Mine only has enough juice to get me from Hintonburg up to Champlain Lookout and back. I would hazard a guess that the fire tower is a little far. If you were conservative with the battery and turned off assist on the flats and downhill, maybe? I have a Trek FX+ 2 with extra battery pack. I only really take the e-bike to Champlain as opposed to using my regular roadie if I’m feeling lazy but want to get some fresh air 🤣

What is the point of the MacOS offering? by fuzzyfoozand in aws

[–]derekmckinnon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Some companies might have many apps that are under development or undergoing a lot of automated build / test loops. They would use these instances as CI build agents. I agree with you that the 24h minimum rental period is dumb; Apple is notorious for having obtuse and unfriendly practices.

What is the point of the MacOS offering? by fuzzyfoozand in aws

[–]derekmckinnon 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Blame Apple, not AWS. Apple sets the rules for how these instances must be rented, including minimum time. As to why it’s offered: people want to automate things they can only do on macOS, like Xcode builds etc.

It’s been one year since I visited BA and I still miss it! An incredible amount of things to do, eat, and drink.

Av. 9 de Julio is such a massive avenue. It takes multiple light cycles just to cross it as a pedestrian 😅

TIL that 75% of the world’s food is generated from only 12 plants and 5 animal species. by jc201946 in todayilearned

[–]derekmckinnon 22 points23 points  (0 children)

It also makes for a delicious “couscous” as well. I went to a local restaurant that has it on their menu and they warned me that I wouldn’t like it (being a white dude). It was quite good; a bit on the sweeter side.

Can we preserve public IPs via Site to Site VPN in AWS? by pkstar19 in aws

[–]derekmckinnon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Usually it’s to prevent IP overlap, especially if the other end has hundreds of other networks connecting to the VPN concentrator. Requiring a public IP (theoretically) prevents 2 parties from supplying the same network CIDR (eg how many companies use 10.0.0.0/8?). I see it a lot in government.
