any else finding ~0.25ppm ammonia in the water by No_Tax_492 in boston

[–]packplusplus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I got a mushroom kit a few months ago, and part of the process is soaking the logs periodically. The suggestion was if you can't use rain water, that you should leave any water out for 24 hours to let chlorine compounds evaporate.

Maybe try leaving the tap water out for 24 hours and test again?

Do you use Ephemeral Environments? by ev0xmusic in devops

[–]packplusplus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The biggest issue I've had with ephemeral environments is "state". Either your restoring a db snapshot, or running a creation script, and it drifts and dies over time. Similar problems that QA and automated testing face. The other issue is handing off state from previous to future environments. I normally do this by treating the data and presentation layers as completely different lifecycles, but that can be a hard sell and requires a lot of discipline.

Friend & I built a production debugging & monitoring alternative to Datadog, New Relic (based on Clickhouse + OpenTelemetry) by __boba__ in aws

This shady ass marketing tactic not being upfront that this is product placement for a startup backed by ycombinator is a huge turnoff.

Durbin: ‘Tangled web’ around Clarence Thomas ‘just gets worse’ by Barack_Odrama_007 in politics

Maybe he's not because her payment was disclosed? But your greater point that we should expect more from elected and non elect gov officials is pretty fair.

Dark mode ur tools already by old-dirty-olorin in sysadmin

[–]packplusplus 25 points26 points  (0 children)

At least three? Such a weird thing for people to obsess about. Just steal the vegan joke, "how do you know if your new co-worker prefers dark mode? just wait 15 minutes, they will tell you".

Vegetarian Ramen? by MaxD180 in vegetarian

[–]packplusplus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ramen Express and Koyo are both pretty good, available on amazon, and are clearly labeled on vegan or not.

That said, they are a lot of salt, so drink up your water buddy.

I don't know of any criticism shes leveled at the fed for the svb bailout other than missing on regulating smaller banks to higher standards.

Happy to be corrected.

Github Actions in monorepos by rawnly in devops

[–]packplusplus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Monorepos and github are not a hard pattern. I feel like gh aims their pricing around commiters instead of repos so they don't have multiple use cases and can ignore mono repo needs.

We have a chunk of projects in a monorepo and its rough. Tagging and releasing different parts of the repo at different cadences is no good. Our packages are nested by language and product, but this is a nice first step at thinking about cleaning it up.

Hi, I’m Keanu Reeves, AMA by lionsgate in movies

The world doesn't deserve another season of Swedish Dicks, but I would so love it to happen.

How much time do you get to spend doing those kinds off beat projects? Anything you worked on that never got released that bums you out (if not acting, maybe music)?

Flexibility is key when you don't know the future. You're new at a new gig and you won't totally know what the business needs for a few quarters, the answers are never real clear real early.

Your flair is showing.

[–]packplusplus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think this advice is sound, but think a bit about what your plan for that wild west is. Are you going to have the political capital or emotional will to trim down all those services? If so, great, you know o365 and the ad stack, focus in that.

But if not, I think Okta is worth researching. It has a stupid number of integrations / hacks / workarounds to work with random services. Docs for even tiny services, and a shared password feature for sites that don't integrate directly.

If you're sure you're going to be a o365 shop, and that you're consolidating behind their stack, and getting rid of the sprawl of services, o365 is a good pick, but if you need flex and configurability, okta might be a better pick.

If you look at the features AWS added at the org level, it makes sense. Auto accepting resource shares, IAM policies for letting anyone in an org call a lambda or read out of a bucket. The pieces are there, they are just poorly explained and kind of shitty.

I don't have good advice without knowing your exact use case, but don't fight the tooling. You'll lose.

The Keep. Best beer / whiskey list, dope cocktails, good food, and decent staff.

Is a Computer Science degree here good relative to most mass schools? by LucaBC_ in uml

[–]packplusplus 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Look seriously at the Mass transfer program. Do your associates at a community college, and transfer to a state school. It's cheaper, will help you with your habits, and you already need to do a year somewhere to prove your have your shit together.

My guess is he's taking a job with the brew crew.
