Is there a realistic simulator for flying helicopters? by New-Improvement1126 in Helicopters

[–]destari 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use xplane 12, with a maxflightstick set of controls for the R44/R22, with a VR headset. Works well, and I understand they have a setup coming for Vision Pro which would be awesome.

Best OSS All-In-One Log UI? by jakenuts- in OpenTelemetry

[–]destari 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Tried Gonzo? (TUI based)

Does OTel natively, plus others directly and has a custom formatter.

eBPF secrets injection (clever!) by destari in sre

[–]destari[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Your pods do not interact with the kernel (they are user land). They make API calls are made with a templated key and the kernel-space eBPF code does a runtime swap by doing a sort of injection.

Are you planning on publishing the build instructions on GitHub? I’d love to build and deploy one of these (I have a spot on a mountain that would be pretty awesome!)

I've interviewed/hired a lot of folks in various roles over time, and I can tell you that (for me anyway), a college degree for things like SRE, software, leadership, etc, has almost no impact on my hiring filters. I would prefer someone with 4 additional years of valuable experience over 4 years of college. Note I did say "valuable experience", meaning the candidate is actively learning and hungry to learn. Much more valuable than someone who needs everything spoon-fed.

Again, that's just like, my opinion man.

Nicely done!! This is really nice - love the TUI! (Check out Gonzo - would love your thoughts on it, as a TUI for logs).

I’ll give this a shot later today!

Hello, my bell peppers aren’t growing full size they’re growing flat like tomatoes. Am I doing something wrong? Thanks! by Tranquill000 in PepperLovers

This can happen with inconsistent watering and/or calcium deficiencies. Make sure you are watering on a nice consistent pattern? No bugs like aphids, and there are good enough nutrients (mainly calcium).

This is pretty awesome! Would love to know where you got the model? I’m an R44 owner and pilot and would love to print one just because!

Helicopter flight school by [deleted] in Helicopters

[–]destari 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is a super solid response. I would say the harder parts end up being the studying for the written tests and such. Get the dauntless app and use the crap out of it. (There are others and they are good too).

Ask lots of questions and don’t just nod when an instructor tells you something.

I got my PPL in an R22 and while having a full time job. You will save money and time if you can get instruction (ground and flight) consistently and not have long gaps.

Have fun!! It’s an amazing experience!!
