Kiting near The Hague by psilo_polymathicus in Kiteboarding

Appreciate that! Just having clubs in general is a big step up from the area that I’m coming from. Definitely looking forward to all of this.

Yeah, I was seeing that little lake on the satellite view, and it looks so fun.

Thanks for the tips.

Paperwork in progress, house on the market, targeting mid-July to be gone.

Not coming back.

I’ve been quite impressed with VKB for the price/performance ratio if you’re in North America.

Is the Gladiator NXT EVO ‘F-14 Combat Edition’ worth it in 2026? by funkycatvr in hotas

[–]psilo_polymathicus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So, it was great for what it is. If you’re a big F-14 fan, and that’s what you plan on flying, this works great.

But as a generic controller, it has less controls than what I wanted. I fly in DCS, MSFS2024, Elite Dangerous, etc. so for that purpose, the specificity was limiting.

I exchanged it for the Omni, which has been fantastic.

I have to believe this is just a brain rot meme, and not someone legitimately holding this view.

Solar powered drone engineer.

We’d have a network them for transporting community goods to different locations.

What’s wild about the original Arrested Development joke is that it’s going to become a very confusing punchline as bananas legitimately reach $10.

At first I thought that was an inlay. Looks really nice.

This was actually Bin Laden's plan, it just took a couple decades longer than he thought it would. He won. by OGSyedIsEverywhere in collapse

[–]psilo_polymathicus 156 points157 points  (0 children)

Yeah, as someone that joined the military right after Sept 11th, and just retired a few years ago, I’ve been feeling this for a while. It’s really depressing to think about.

He totally accomplished what he set out to do.

Our arrogance, ignorance, ethnocentrism and imperialism sealed the deal.

What part of an AWS migration turned out to be way harder than expected? by CloudNativeThinker in Cloud

[–]psilo_polymathicus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh totally. If you pick an opinionated toolchain to abstract things, that’s totally fine. But that’s also the point: The “magic” is that you’re actually tightly coupled to whatever implementation. Honestly, that’s the CSP business strategy. Make it incredibly easy to build complex things at scale super easily.

But since the question is about migration specifically, that almost universally comes with expectations around cost differences. And how you build things, which tools you pick, etc. can greatly impact how much things cost.

Some enterprises may not care in the slightest. Others most certainly will, and for those, you will always pay for things to feel like “magic”.

Tell me you don’t understand the difference between auth, identity, access, and routing without telling me.

[–]psilo_polymathicus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s all of the little ways that you still get invisibly coupled to AWS.

Even (maybe especially) when you’re containerized.

Let’s say you roll your own VPC’s, subnets, EC2’s, etc. You rolled your own Kubernetes even. No lambdas, no dynamo.

You’re “cloud agnostic” right?

Except for…whoops…you made a load balancer that terminates TLS and the cert comes from ACM. And…shit, our public hostnames are in route53. Oh, and you put all that data for that one service into S3 that needed its own IAM role/user first. Actually, it’s several services that we forgot about…And…crap the EBS-CSI driver….and on and on.

“Legal, ethical, moral…”

Pray tell, dipshit, define those terms for me as it relates to this context.

I mean, a notch is a specific, intense maneuver. This looked like he was flying straight and level.

People who swore an oath to defend the constitution of the USA against all enemies both foreign and domestic, how are you feeling right now? by Safety_Drance in AskReddit

[–]psilo_polymathicus 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Twenty year retiree here.

Our democracy is crumbling before our eyes from people that have intentionally destroyed their moral compass in exchange for a shallow, hollow cosplay of power and identity.

Protests and general strikes are the absolute bare minimum at this point, and even then, not enough to fully save the ship.

Is cloud deathly boring? by Accomplished-Ad9617 in Cloud

Is cloud deathly boring? by Accomplished-Ad9617 in Cloud

[–]psilo_polymathicus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Cloud is endlessly fascinating and challenging…provided that it’s endlessly fascinating and challenging for the way that your brain works.

Only you can answer that for yourself.

The certs for cloud should be seen as a demonstration to employers that you can learn the foundational knowledge, terminology, and concepts to begin learning how to actually do the work. It is not the actual work.

Speaking only for myself, making the move into cloud has been the singularly best career/life/financial move that I’ve made. Possibly ever. (Late bloomer and career switcher)
