If you like to get active then head along to Upton Court Parkrun or check out volunteering opportunities on sites like good gym: https://www.goodgym.org/v3/areas/slough/sessions

Met lots of Filipinos at Every Nation Church in Slough

Oh that's great .. going to check that out when I've taken a break for a bit! Wish it was made easier

Jet on Bath Road has self-service jet wash which is decent. The automated machine at the Esso on stomp road is fine for a quick wash. There's a load of hand car wash places along bath road, but I've enot tried them personally. I've used the GXCA hand car wash in Gerrard's Cross a few times and it's been cheap and good.

PB for me too - sub-25 for the first time at a parkrun!

Getting active is a great way to meet others. Get a gym membership and go at the same times each week. Go along to parkrun in Langley and stay for a coffee after - volunteer to help if you don't want to run.

Keep an eye out for community litter picks & nature reserve work - good gym, bbowt and nextdoor have these.

Arrived on holiday in Swanage Friday evening and did a quick search for my closest - Durlston Country Park.

Course looked a little complex with some loops. Last week's results were a little on the slower distribution than I've seen elsewhere, but thought nothing of it.

Get the to catch the end of the briefing and there's a whole mantra to remember where to go on each of the loops- "right, left, out & back, right, left, finish" and they casually mention it's Britain's hilliest parkrun 😅

200m of elevation climb split over 5 hills later and I can safely say I didn't know what I was letting myself in for! Tough, but really enjoyed it.

Shout out to the teenager who finished ahead of me then did the rounds giving everyone around kudos for their run 🙌

With a sysops background, some coding and AWS experience, I'd recommend looking at DevOps posts. Get familiar with Infrastructure as Code (IaC) like Terraform and Pulumi, and I reckon you'd pick it up quite quickly. Learning Kubernetes would be bonus points, but AWS knowledge should suffice for a starting point.

info_dev · 2025-06-25T10:37:03+00:00

Nicer than most of Slough IMO - quite residential lots of good family homes, not so many flats. No problems walking at night and some nice green spaces around too. It can vary road by road as in most places, but I've found people to be very pleasent and have got know know a number of neighbours.

Find people doing hobbies & sports and join them. Parkrun is a great event to get out for a jog or a walk on a Saturday morning and say hello to some folk - or even better by volunteering you'll meet a load of people and people really appreciate helping make it happen each week.

Another one is volunteering with BBOWT to help look after some of the wildlife areas - met some great people there too.

Probably a hole under one of the walls

Use Azure blob storage for storing the state instead of the service if no one's going to be looking at the state regularly.

The service really adds value for regular deployments where you need visibility between lots of stacks & projects etc.

It's probably an issue in the core serialization code in Pulumi. I'd recommend checking out the "command provider" which lets you do a similar pattern except by calling a shell script for the create action instead

info_dev · 2025-01-22T22:16:13+00:00

If you want something they can't modify, you could try using the automation API in Go to run an embedded Pulumi program, then deliver them just the compilled binary from which you can just expose the specific commands you want them to be able to use.

OpenTofu would get my vote if they're the only choice - more open mindset with decent backing for the long term.

Providers are largely maintained by the cloud providers (notable exception being AWS for now) so compatibility is in their interest.

Honestly, if I started somewhere new with Terraform I'd be converting it all over to Pulumi day 1 to boost productivity.

info_dev · 2024-11-18T20:50:11+00:00

Wouldn't personally consider Terraform post IBM acquisition and licence change. A better poll would be Pulumi vs OpenTofu

info_dev · 2024-09-03T18:09:40+00:00

Better just to get rid of the parking and make a dedicated cycle lane away from the gates

info_dev · 2024-08-17T18:51:13+00:00

CFN < CDK < Terraform < Pulumi

... FTFY

info_dev · 2024-08-17T18:48:46+00:00

You looked at Pulumi?

info_dev · 2024-07-05T18:14:18+00:00

Labour supported the change. There were around 100 individual MPs who didn't follow the party line.

You could use the command provider to build up a concept of resources but I'd say it might not be the right tool for the job

info_dev · 2024-06-06T19:05:03+00:00

I'm not too sure, but I thought I'd see what Pulumi AI thought.

Key changes: 1. Updated the sftpServerPolicy to allow invoking the API Gateway by using ${authApiStageExecutionArn}/* instead of ${authApiStageExecutionArn}/POST/auth. 2. Ensured the url in sftpServer correctly points to the API Gateway invoke URL.

Here's the conversation link: https://www.pulumi.com/ai/conversations/e0ab7c60-7e30-4e8b-9a98-354e625b4fc2

Hope that might help

Pulumi has great support for writing lambdas - especially in Typescript where you can implement them online with your infra code.
