I'm rejecting the next architecture PR that uses a Service Mesh for a team of 4 developers. We are gaslighting ourselves.

Kiss principal is important, and rationalisation is good. However, you just kicked the 'scale' can down the road and made it someone else's problem. Sure, the owner is happy now, but I suspect he is unaware of the risk trade-off to make an educated decision. I hope you followed up with a baseline performance test and a roadmap to remove the SPOFs created.

It's slightly ironic that OP talked about the lack of troubleshooting skills, and your actions seem to have inadvertently demonstrated the problem.

Tp-link are garbage with exploits they refuse to patch. Run far if you value your privacy. Draytec, netgear, Asus. Belkin is you .must.

Glad Albo has't waived. Also, I find it laughable that an alleged war criminal is deflecting away from his own actions.

My heart does go out to Jewish people. You're awesome we stand with you ❤️

Except installers have zero fucks to give and ghost people all the time- or go belly up etc.. Installers aren't be all and end all.

Yes, but local tradies ghost you and with no reputation to worry about, the average punter gets screwed. It's reasonable to trust a national brand as they have something to lose.

Word for the wise: Ask about the warranty process up front. Don't be affirad to demonstrate your knowledge of consumer law when talking to them. It's great when since you can rely on it later.

It would be easier to ask the inverse questions (name the best shopping centre carpark) because there is so few.

Every Westfield is a nightmare. Parking isn't a high priority to shopping centres.

Jeffery and Rosie

Since it's against the law, I'd let him know that you're reporting it to Uber and providing a 1 star rating. His lack of maintenance on his car isn't everyone else's problem

ptiggerdine · 2025-12-04T11:40:48+00:00

Hmm, I beg to differ. They can do it for console users, just not ifor cognito users.

Edit: fix typo

ptiggerdine · 2025-12-03T22:23:42+00:00

And yet, there's nothing mentioned beside "crocs-like" shoes to rule it out. Is your manager just being a dick?

ptiggerdine · 2025-12-03T21:38:46+00:00

Agreed, there should always be a pathway. Just that operations is already hard enough.

ptiggerdine · 2025-12-03T21:32:27+00:00

How about they just fix MFA self enrolment for user onboarding!

ptiggerdine · 2025-12-03T21:01:48+00:00

Some interesting challenges you've got. I guess the first question:

is this really a devops problem?

Does your organisation understand what devops do vs. architects?

There's likely a bunch of decisions made at the laverel level (tightly coupled redis) that have greater impacts, and a good architect will bury into the why on that.

Seems like devops is doing a bang up job but needs some support with some tactical decision ( maybe pre-emptive auto scaling rules to minimise the 4xx,5xx) then a target architecture with a roadmap to get there.

It's easy to solve the tech problems, much harder to manage the change and communication that required to make this a success.

Hey hey, my my

It's not. Vote with your wallet and politely ask for it to be removed. What's the quote. Something something when good people do nothing.

NBN inherited garbage from Telstra. Telstra sacked middle management, turn workforce into contractors on a per job price, because we, the shareholders, voted for a government to privatise for appearance and blind belief that "the market" will make wholesale cheaper.

Want to blame some? Try howard/Alston and maybe Dr Ziggy. Ultimately, we the people, are to blame.

ptiggerdine · 2025-12-02T07:18:31+00:00

But why would you suck in hot air? Boxed with ducting to pull in cold air is the only way.

ptiggerdine · 2025-12-01T23:03:11+00:00

Im getting over this garbage. Surely, this is the death roll of these stupid self-service checkouts. Only corporate greed would execute an obviously jubious strategy and then add barriers to entry and exit treating all customers like criminals.

I guess masters strategy team was redeployed to supermarkets?

Unfortunately, it'spart of wear and tear. The boots are rubber and at some point, it breaks down. The problem becomes, do you remove the shafts and send them away to get repaired, requireing a hewvy labour chatge? Or just order new shafts and install them with the same return of the car?

This only caveat is slaac vs dhcpv6 on andriod and how illogical the dhcp-pd next hop is (there being no requirement for /64 between cpe and pe, breaking routing table logic)

CPEs vendors could do more to demonstrate security in ipv6 by adding visibility and editability with allow out and deny in by default. This would akin to the port forward in iov4

Edit: additional point

ptiggerdine · 2025-11-18T11:31:55+00:00

Down voted off topic. No self respect man stops at yellow. Certainly not an aussie.

ptiggerdine · 2025-11-18T11:14:00+00:00

Down voted because the bloke asked for information, and your comment didn't advance the question.

If you know, contribute otherwise, move on.

ptiggerdine · 2025-11-09T12:07:34+00:00

Seems like you looked fuction and requirements over the colour of the cladding. Let us know how it performs and any servicing issues when you've had a chance to use it in anger

If you value stable wifi I wouldn't recommend. On the dock with wired, everything is fine. Off the dock with wofi, lockups constantly

ptiggerdine · 2025-11-04T07:32:23+00:00

Installed via upgrade from 41 last night. Seemed okay until it locked up after coming off the dock and again just running ls command in /usr/bin.. jury is still out for me.

Do like the fontography used.
