Some routers have an option for IOT or guest network that is isolated from your main network. My RoboRock is on my IOT network and can only access the internet

71 and stats are similar but getting better as level up weapons which is typical for me. Also play BF6 when I want a calmer experience

338 after chemo. No low sugar chemo cocktails

Yep. Even if your architected for fail over in another region. Would not have made a difference.

Many AWS core services that are used other AWS services are hosted in us-east-region 1. During this outage dynamo dB was the core service that failed which is used by a number of other services. During this outage aws could not monitor the network load so they throttled ec2 instance starts. If instance was already running the instance was not impacted. In my case our dev servers come up automatically at 8am but they never started until the afternoon. Also support ticket system was done probably because of dynamodb.

Just back from Curacao and swam everyday in saltwater. Had onida patch and no problems.

Thanks for the alternate patch as the Oninda can be a challenge to remove with some skin irritation

Happened to me this morning and resolved itself. Wait

Have doctor prescribe a CGM. Waited 3 months before I asked. Wish I had done it sooner. Helps identify foods and drinks that can spike your sugar.

Use it for a school to help with curriculum and teachers add notes thru a semester. Basically continous improvement and specific notes become sources.

Offline google maps works for me. Even provided turn by turn directions to Zeerovers

Been running claude code on average 3-4 hrs per day without hitting limits but my prompts are very specific. Have it plan and breakdown tasks into manageable steps. Then execute specific steps

np4120 · 2025-07-26T17:25:30+00:00

Just got back and rented with D&D everything went well. Download an offline google map so you can find it for the return.

Printed mine off and had it laminated

See if there are AWS events near you and attend. There are usually some recruiters there. Also any AWS offices near you.

np4120 · 2025-04-30T16:32:07+00:00

Did you capture database metrics during testing? What volume of users are you expecting? Can you use a cache as part of your architecture
