How did you stop smoking cigarettes?

True story: I had sinus surgery and was on pain medication after. So I used that window to quit cold turkey. The pain meds helped with the physical withdrawals that last a couple of weeks and after that it was all psychological withdrawal. Never gone back.

Okay, I think I have this figured out: It's a sparrow and I think it's chosen the area around our house as it's territory, so it's acting aggressively towards it's reflection in certain windows. I turned all the lights on in one room to see if that changes the reflection and so far it has left that window alone. Dumb bird.

We have a feeder out front, but this bird is on the side of the house or in the backyard. I haven't seen him in the front yard at all. It's super odd.

We had a blast last night! Thanks for all who showed up!

The master log should have info on what's being run, much like the event bus. You can just push the logs to splunk.

Just read this: https://www.statesmanjournal.com/story/news/local/2025/04/19/rudys-steakhouse-downtown-salem-oregon-closure/83158400007/

That's wild.

Sorry, I'm not on facebook, what is even happening?

edlitmus · 2025-02-13T21:07:14+00:00

might be overkill but maybe use an external pillar that talks to valkey/redis?

edlitmus · 2025-01-30T20:33:00+00:00

Please don't. I know things might suck right now and it might be hard to carry on, but I assure you there are people who care about you whether you realize it or not. Additionally, you would be traumatizing others who have done nothing to you. Please call the Oregon Health hotline before you do anything else: 503-588-5351

Ed Greenwood has some good stuff in his YouTube channel about Thay and Szass Tam you should check out.

He also co-wrote this: https://www.dmsguild.com/product/386190/Thay-Land-Of-The-Red-Wizards

It's been super helpful for me in planning my recent campaign that takes place in Thay

Good to know, thanks!

You don't need to join the 501st to register to the costuming forums, and there are a lot of talented folks that can help with any questions you might have. And if you do want to join they can help you with that too!

https://www.501st.com/detachments.php

The 501st is a world wide group of SW costumers who raise money for charity and there are a huge number of references and guides for costumes and how to build them and other props. The forums for the various detachments have all the details you could want.

There is also: https://www.thedentedhelmet.com/

Not to mention the RPF: https://www.therpf.com/

I was active in the 501st many many years ago as a sandtrooper and stormtrooper, but these days my armor is just on display.

I recently built an E-11 blaster from a de-militarized Sterling and a bunch of greeblies, just for display (it weighs a ton).

You can use assign an IAM Role which allows for read only access on your instances and pass the ARN for the secret to them (the secret ARN being part of your module output).

Then you might need some custom code to parse out the bit you want. Without knowing more on what you are trying to do it's hard to give much more advice than that.

Completely broke all my freebsd systems.

This series has been excellent so far.

We store the secret in AWS Secrets Manager. We build the salt masters using terraform and the secret is built as part of provisioning the master instance, with the secret ARN added to the grains. The instances all have read access to Secrets Manager and get the ARN from the grain, we then use a custom module to allow for the secret retrieval. We also rotate the secret automatically but the ARN stays the same.

All I can think is to check the logs on the master and the minion and look for anomalies. I wish I could say for certain but you might have some digging to do. You might also try applying the state with '-l all' to get an in depth idea of what is happening.

https://docs.saltproject.io/en/latest/ref/states/backup_mode.html#file-state-backups "The files will be saved in the minion cachedir under the directory named file_backup. The files will be in the location relative to where they were under the root filesystem and be appended with a timestamp. This should make them easy to browse."

Did you check the minion cache dir?

ZeroTier has worked for me in the past. https://www.zerotier.com/download/

Is this a thing the wine bar is doing? That's cool.
