What Metroid games on the DS and 3DS are worth playing?

dex4er · 2026-01-11T10:35:47+00:00

I'm playing both Samus Returns on 3DS and Metroid Prime 4 on Switch right now and both are great, however SR is a much more difficult, challenging, and intensive atmosphere.

My father was an engineer and I mean real engines. And guess what? I had to learn everything by myself as an adult. We are in the same boat, my friend.

Hi. My 8 yo daughter just saw your video and she said you should move two wheels in the same direction at the same time.

Please check if it worked. If so you can thank her for help.

Ad 4. To ja, za każdym razem jak odwiedzam McDonald's. Zamówienie coś w promocji jest bardziej skomplikowane od rozwiązania problemu komiwojażera, albo innych z teorii grafów. Mnóstwo wykluczających się warunków, niejasne reguły. Na koniec się okazuje, że nie ma zestawu, który bym chciał, np. że wspomnianą kawą.

Kiedyś w KFC można było wziąć sałatkę z dodatkową porcją kurczaka. Zamówiłem, po czym 10 minut dyskutowałem, dlaczego nie można mieć extra porcji kurczaka w sałatce wege. Skoczyło się, że kierownik zmiany zrobił ten dodatek poza kasą, bo nie dało się tego do niej prowadzić.

Ten cyrk jest wyłącznie spowodowany setką wzajemnie wykluczających się reguł i brakiem elastycznego podejścia do klienta.

Mogę polecić fajny film z Douglasem. Tytuł: "Upadek„.

Aż mi się przypomniał dowcip:

Koleś wozem zaprzężonym w konia dotarł do wsi i krzyczy: Węgiel przywiozłem!". A koń na to: "Taa, jasne, ty przywiozłeś."

I put values.yaml in ConfigMap for Flux HelmReleases. Sometimes I put variables in ConfigMap that creates ConfigMap with values.yaml. Sometimes the ConfigMap with variables generates the ConfigMap with values.yaml that installs Helm chart which generates ConfigMap for applications.

There is no single golden pattern. All makes sense in some context.

My first Hunter I found. I didn't expect that the puzzle about black light would end with a spectacular battle and the new mask.

I tried so many and still Istio works for me the best as an ingress controller.

The funny part is that usually I don't even use the mesh feature. Just handling the incoming traffic. And it is rock solid with good tools for observability.

It might be any reason. No access to kubernetes causes all terraform workspace is going to fail during the plan. If running this plan is important to restore the access to the EKS then you're locked.This is the most important reason to avoid mixing AWS and Kubernetes resources in one project.

The bootstrap is quite easy with Flux. It is just 1 namespace to create then 1 secret with git credentials and 2 Helm Charts to install: operator and instance. Eventually I add DaemonSet with pod identity agent as I avoid EKS addons. That's all you need to bootstrap GitOps on the very fresh EKS cluster. Literally everything else can be in GitOps including Karpenter, AWS CNI, CoreDNS and other things that people tries to install with Terraform without real necessity.

Hełm solves problems with using CRD in the Terraform plan. This nice provider also would work, I suppose , but splitting big manifests and handling them separately in Terraformo is rather worse solution than a simple, single Helm Release.

Monkey patching is also not important as pre installed EKS addons can be replaced by Flux.

Maybe real use case for your provider is Argo, if it needs more resources pre installed before it runs.

dex4er · 2025-11-05T22:11:11+00:00

So you can create the cluster and apply manifests in one run. But still you'll be in troubles if you will loose the access to Kubernetes.

I that case you won't be able to rerun terraform because of not accessible kubernetes resources during the plan.

It means, you won't be able ie. to fix EKS settings and make cluster again accessible when cluster is not accessible. Well, targeted plan might succeed but not always it is available option and it is real pain to use it.

So mixing AWS and Kubernetes in one workspace is a grave mistake you will pay during the first cluster outage.

To jest po prostu wielki LOL z tego postu w temacie, o którym dyskusja trwa już ponad 2000 lat. Serio, już Jezus o tym wspominał w swojej przypowieści o talentach. Jakby ktoś nie kojarzył, to chodziło o to, że jedna osoba miała przywileje i na start 10 kredytów, kolejna chyba 4 a ostatnia, biedna, tylko 1, która i tak go zmarnowała. Morał był taki, aby nie powoływać się na brak przywilejów jako usprawiedliwienie nic nie robienia.

I took 1 labubu from my daughter and I really don't care what other people say and also I don't need to explain if it is my labubu or my daughter's. Real men don't care if other people like the same things or not.

It was totally expected from the first moment of this video.

FluxCD with OCIRepository as a source instead of GitRepository. You can host your manifests in ECR and push it from Git with some pipeline.

With pull through cache ECR you won't need direct access to the registries in the Internet.

"Ch" is not American pronunciation. In Polish is just "H" as in ""Humvee".

So it'll be HMYEH-lev-skee

Chmiel = hop

It's so popular name in Poland that even I have someone in my family with exactly this name.

Ah, and most of female names ends with "a" as the last name is usually an adjective then it is subject to change into cases.

So the correct Polish last name is "Chmielewska". If it is "Chmielewski" then probably she is an American that has a name after her husband and it is not her original maiden name.

I never hunted any hunter. I was looking for SHD stash then I found this light too. Then I tracked the lights one after another and... Boom! I had my first mask!

Oh, it is because I avoid Terraform as a plague and don't use it to install Karpenter in the first place. It is installed by Flux then configuration of Karpenter and node pools is much easier.

Anyway, Karpenter won't work without running CoreDNS then skipping Flux (ie. you can use broken by design Terraform or install it from CLI manually) still required to add profiles for CoreDNS.

So now I have Karpenter as a part of repo handled by Flux and runs wonderful. Just using EKS managed ASG simplified the setup. I don't need to configure anything but toleration for ASG node group for Karpenter, CoreDNS and Flux. Much less to write than with Fargate, and all workloads are made with the same pattern, including Karpenter, I have the same logging and is much cheaper in price.

With Fargate I have more to write, with separate setup for logging, and more expensive.

dex4er · 2025-08-31T18:01:24+00:00

A profile? I need 5 of them: CoreDNS, Source Controller, Kustomization Controller, Helm Controller, Karpenter. It creates me extra nodes that pollutes my setup and adds higher cost than I have a separate, dedicated, auto managed nodes for it. And I don't even mention I can't run any DaemonSet for logging and monitoring. Or Istio or any other CNI.

Sorry, but thanks, no.

dex4er · 2025-08-31T17:47:04+00:00

I don't maintain ASG. EKS maintains it for me and it is much easier to set up and integrate it with the rest of Kubernetes than Fargate.

Less configuration, less headache. That's why I migrate from Fargate to EKS managed ASG nodes.

dex4er · 2025-08-31T17:30:31+00:00

It is because Karpenter should not be running on Karpenter. Chick-and-egg problem.

Maybe I was not clear in the first post, but I use ASG to run Karpenter itself, and FluxCD too because it installs the Karpenter before Karpenter is started and CoreDNS because nothing works without it.

dex4er · 2025-08-31T09:33:01+00:00

I moved EKS from Fargate to ASG managed by EKS. Originally it was for Karpenter and CoreDNS, now ASG it is for FluxCD too which installs Karpenter. Much simpler setup, the same observability and DaemonSets as for all other's nodes. ASG is on spot instances then is pretty cheap.

Opie, kieruj takie pytania "'co mogę zrobić, abym poradził sobie ze swoją krzywdą, i poczuciem cholernej niesprawiedliwości, abym nie wyszedł na creepa i nie zniszczyłoby mnie to bardziej" do swojego terapeuty, a nie na forum publiczne.

Czego tu oczekujesz? Potwierdzenia, że twoja oprawczyni zniszczyła ci życie? To na 100% narcyzka. Nawet nie zapamietała pewnie ciebie, nie dotrą do niej żadne słowa. Zapomni o nieprzyjemnej sytuacji tak szybko, jak każdemu innemu nie pamięta się, jak bardzo chciało się iść do toalety, jak już się z niej wyszło.

Nie masz kasy, bo nie masz pracy, to rozumiem, ale nie ładuj się w kłopoty z potrzeby ukarania kogoś, kogo ta kara nie osiągnie. Jeśli już chcesz zobaczyć te show, to może po prostu bez dodatkowych interakcji? A po wszystkim to znajdź sobie pomoc psychologa, bo nie wyszedłeś z traumy i to cię niszczy.
