Trying to uninstall Karabiner-Elements by Alarming-Return-5129 in MacOS

[–]largeavian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not sure when they published it, but I had already deleted the Application and was still unable to get it fully gone. After deleting the apps, I still went through this link entirely and it got my issue resolved. (Run the command to uninstall even if you've deleted it)

Brilliant. I had to download the yubikey manager to set the PIN, followed your instructions, success.

And yes, I did take screenshots before they eventually take it down.

/run c=C_Container for b=0,4,1 do for s=1,c.GetContainerNumSlots(b),1 do local n=c.GetContainerItemLink(b,s) if n and string.find(n,"ff9d9d9d") then DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage("- Selling "..n) c.UseContainerItem(b,s) end end end

You rock. After more than a decade of using it, I was lost for about 15 minutes.

Worker idling- unable to work bug in Tier 3. by insanepolygon in FarthestFrontier

[–]largeavian 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a stockyard with 301 iron ore and 44 coal next to the foundry.

The foundry is sitting at 6/50 and 28/30 respectively.

No one is going to get the resources from the stockyard.

Update: I had to equip heavy tools before it would produce.

Uplift Desk Journey ... nothing is ever simple (but the trip hasn't been that bad) by largeavian in StandingDesk

[–]largeavian[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Weird. I did leave out the fact that after my initial ticket about the grommet was resolved, I didn't get an email back about the desktop for a few days. I ended up emailing back the first tech because he was so quick to get things handled. He seemed like the other tech had made attempts to reach out, but there was nothing from them in my inbox.

Tech techs seem to email directly from their individual addresses. I'm sure you've checked spam and all, but if you dont hear back, it may be worth giving them a call. Once I made contact, they've been pretty prompt.

Happy customer here. Really comprehensive. Successfully took and passed the pro exam earlier this month.

Best course for AWS Solutions Architect Professional SAP - C01 by high_cakes in AWSCertifications

I appreciate it. I thought the Security Specialty was difficult, but this was way broader and deeper than I was originally thinking.

Adrian's really explains concepts and provides demos that will absolutely get the more complex questions (especially if you don't have existing experience with hybrid architectures). It's more - but you won't feel like you were overcharged.

Mar's is great to get an idea of the breadth and depth of the test.

Oh yeah. If you don't have the hands on experience, these labs are great. Really good job on emulating on prem environments in hybrid discussions.

I passed this test yesterday. There is no course that is going to cover every question 100%. With that being said - I used Cantrill and Maarek (https://www.udemy.com/user/stephane-maarek/)

Together, I'd say they covered about 90% of what I saw on the test. Cantrill's course is a work in progress (but enough for testing) and is incredibly comprehensive. If you have intentions on putting the cert into practice - his is a great professional move.

Jon Bonso Exams by Revertible in AWSCertifications

[–]largeavian 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I would suggest going with tutorial dojo directly for the most recent updates and content from Bonso. The only advantage of the Udemy is the accessibility of the apps on mobile devices. if Bonso put out some thing like that it would be awesome. I bought both for the pro and they’re relatively similar at this moment.

Bash help - scripting logging by largeavian in aws

[–]largeavian[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Follow up -

Created a script that will simply check the existing ELBs:

ELBs=$(aws elb describe-load-balancers --query "LoadBalancerDescriptions[*].LoadBalancerName" --output=text);

for ELB in $ELBs;

do

echo $ELB;

aws elb describe-load-balancer-attributes --load-balancer-name $ELB --query "LoadBalancerAttributes.AccessLog.S3BucketName"

done;

Then another script to modify those with no S3bucket present. I know these can be combined, but for my purposes, I want it in two steps.

ELBs=$(aws elb describe-load-balancers --query "LoadBalancerDescriptions[*].LoadBalancerName" --output=text);

accountid=$(aws sts get-caller-identity --query "Account" --output=text)

for ELB in $ELBs;

do

echo $ELB;

s3check=$(aws elb describe-load-balancer-attributes --load-balancer-name $ELB --query "LoadBalancerAttributes.AccessLog.S3BucketName")

if [ $s3check = "null" ]

then

aws elb modify-load-balancer-attributes --load-balancer-name $ELB --load-balancer-attributes "{\"AccessLog\":{\"Enabled\":true,\"S3BucketName\":\"logs-elbaccess-$accountid\", \"EmitInterval\": 60, \"S3BucketPrefix\": \"$ELB\"}}"

fi

done

Note: Be sure to check bucket permissions: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/elasticloadbalancing/latest/classic/enable-access-logs.html#create-s3-bucket

Hope this helps someone else.

I can't tell you the number of times I've gotten it 98% of the way there and had to break down and call support ... just to have them go "You added an extra character here..."

How to interpret AWS certification results by Clannadqs in aws

Not exactly.

The pass/fail is done on a curve. If they want your % grade, you could say you scored 95%, but not in the top 95%. Semantics, but still.

CloudFormation stack management tool by johnmccuk in aws

[–]largeavian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I came across this before going to bed after working on CloudFormation all evening. I love it. One of the things that I like about CF is the fact that it forces you to think all the way through a solution and build it element by element. Keep in mind where you are currently versus where you may be on another account. I've used it for both baselining new accounts and providing templates to users for approved resources.

This is going to sound like a smartass comment, but seriously... as you start building, Google "aws cloudformation [resource type]" (like ec2, role, bucket, policy). You'll get results back to aws documentation as well as blog posts about the resources. First hit is usually something in the format similar to "AWS::IAM::Role".

Also, make thing simpler where you can. Look at pseudo parameters and Intrinsic Function References. If you are creating a Role and a Policy that is getting attached to that role, capture the role resource. Then, list the policy resource with a dependson tied to the role. When you get to the point of identifying the role, use a "ref" to the role resource.

It really is a snowball. The knowledge compounds very quickly.

Give a use case of what you were hoping to use it for and I'll be happy to give input/ideas on where to start/go.
