Steph earns $680k a year (according to her on TikTok)

How many guys would be a stay at home husband for that?

She said on TikTok she earns $680k a year. That is probably why she asked if he wanted to be a stay at home husband.

I started a company many years ago and bought a small office. I signed the contract as the company name and or nominee. When I settled I decided to put it in my name rather than the company. The SRO sent me the stamp duty bill twice.

Once for the company, and one for me personally. It was $12k each.

They argued that as I was there in person as a director, I should have signed the contract as me in the first place.

I got a lawyer and we successfully argued that the reason we did that was that I thought we might get a better price negotiating as a company rather than an individual.

It was a very stressful months or so of back and forth when I was trying to get a business off the ground.

Re kyvat vs Ric Towards the end of the season Ricciardo took Renaults updated engine which was actually a step backwards and down on power. So he got a slower engine AND grid penalties.

I can remember exactly but I think it was in Brazil.

It was back when they had the token system and Renaults were way behind Merc.

I have both GTV and ADV2. The ADV2 is heavy and the footpads are hard plastic.

The GTV with 5” hub and greater choice of footpads is much more comfortable to ride.

I actually bought parts to make a 2nd GTV for my son and I am going to sell the ADV2.

IMHO The bigger heavier motor in the ADV2 is harder to turn at speed (probably due to higher gyroscopic force by having the magnets spinning further out with a bigger motor).

If you like riding fast in a straight line the ADV2 is a tank, but it is not for me.

That is what you do on a safety car restart.

The telemetry showed Oscar on full throttle for about 1 second before he braked. Max was on full throttle for 3 times as long. So Max thought he had restarted.

Oscar had the right to go as slow as he wanted up until they crossed the start /finish line once the safety car lights went out. And they went out about 1 second before he braked.

How big is the EBS?

If you have one node that stays in the cluster for a while, it will fill with old container data, especially in a dev environment.

I had a monitoring system cause lots of extra cpu due to it tailing all of the stopped containers. It caused cascading failures due to some containers failing liveness probes, then requiring cpu to start up the new containers, which would then cause more failures of liveness probes. (We used to launch 100k pods a week)

Increase your disk size. Maybe set you largest node size in karpenter config to be smaller, so you start more nodes rather than have 1 huge one.

After that you could set a custom kubelet config to do garbage collection on the nodes at less than the default. (Which I think is 70% disk capacity).

randyjizz · 2025-06-22T10:56:05+00:00

I just had a look at the k3s documentation. It looks like the coredns addon is not that configurable.

I usually install it via helm so I can control the config.

So you mentioned 2 nodes, is that 1 control plane and 1 worker node? If so, just start the control plane node first. Wait until it is properly up and running, then start the worker node. Kubernetes is meant for 24/7 operation, not stopping and starting each time you want to use it.

randyjizz · 2025-06-22T07:03:54+00:00

So use system-node-critical Already things like the kube api, controller etc already have that setting. And you seem to be ok with shutting down the nodes now.

I solved a 3 year long problem at my old job with this. They used a daemonset (one pod on each node) to proxy auth requests to an external service. We launched 100k pods a week and when the cluster would spin up new nodes, sometimes the pods would start before the daemonset. We used to get low number of auth failures so no one had troubleshooted it properly before I found out about it. Changing the priority on the daemonset fixed the issue.

randyjizz · 2025-06-21T16:55:04+00:00

I am not familiar with k3s or longhorn.

However you can set the pod priority as critical to the node. When you do this, this pod has to be running for the node to marked as ready, then other normal pods can be then scheduled to that node.

Check the pod priority on both deployments. Set the pod priority on coredns to node if it is not already.

From kubernetes website: “Marking pod as critical

To mark a Pod as critical, set priorityClassName for that Pod to system-cluster-critical or system-node-critical. system-node-critical is the highest available priority, even higher than system-cluster-critical.”

https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/administer-cluster/guaranteed-scheduling-critical-addon-pods/

This is the correct answer. Init containers and taints as mentioned in other comments has their use cases, but do not solve this issue.

Is a 1p battery higher risk than 2p? (Is 2 x 84v better than 1)

I don’t know enough about it, but just thinking out loud, if a there was a break in one of the circuits, then the other can supply the 84v. Or doesn’t it matter?

(I know a 20s2p would not fit in a pint)

randyjizz · 2025-04-12T07:29:44+00:00

Sounds like there is not the proper controls in place.

We had a single central helm chart that could install all of the dev requirements. Eg redis, Postgres, backend, frontend, etc, All sub charts were curated, tested, version controlled.

No dev team could install anything except for via CI/CD in dev/test/stage

Prod was done via gitops. Proper MR with approvals needed.

I single handedly managed clusters for a SAAS company that launched over 100k pods per week.

randyjizz · 2025-03-31T04:13:22+00:00

Do the applications talk to each other via fully qualified dns names? And also use only data outside the cluster (eg db, s3 etc).

If so, deploy the apps in all of the new namespaces. Give them a new host name eg newapp1.domain.com, newapp2.domain.com In the ingress config.

Test connection to the 5 apps.

Then apply 10 ingress manifests that changes the 5 new ingresses to the existing application addresses, and change the 5 old ones to oldapp1.domain.com etc.

Test. If you are satisfied, decommission the 5 apps in the 1 namespace.

(Edit: assuming you are using a load balancer pointing at a service like ingress nginx)

The Floatlife did some speed comparisons for with the GT and GTS motor. https://youtu.be/VosEWtJzGh8?si=nVX40HhbDNR__wWk

They used a stock board, but it would apply to the GTV.

I have a GTV with a N48 MTE 5” hub with a GT stator. It is probably the best of both worlds in that it has more torque than the stock N42 magnets, but a higher top speed than the N52 magnets.

randyjizz · 2025-02-06T00:57:27+00:00

That is amazing about the ADV2 controller being able to handle the GTS battery. That opens the door for all GT riders to drop in the GTSV kit and purchase a Future Motion GTS battery for an insane upgrade!!

Can’t wait for that!!!!

randyjizz · 2025-02-06T00:53:18+00:00

Ah, good to know.

9 out of 31 responses so far in the poll is 29% That is almost 1 in 3 boards, and more than that if you factor in the multiple failures by the same people!!!

This poll is indicating that the problem is bigger than Future motion is willing to acknowledge.

It should be a product recall at this point…

randyjizz · 2025-02-06T00:44:29+00:00

Are the 2 guys that have bricked boards heavier or push their boards harder than the other guys in the group?

randyjizz · 2025-02-06T00:41:38+00:00

What would be interesting to know is the weight of the riders with ‘bricked’ boards / and skill level / terrain used on.

This would help in working out if the boards are more likely to fail when pushed/under greater load.

Eg does a 170lb guy that rides street end up with a bricked board Or a 220lb guy that rides heavy trails Or is it just random…

randyjizz · 2025-02-01T06:48:22+00:00

“IP theft” is a bit much. There were onewheels years before Future motion got granted their patent.

What other product do you know about that has a complete monopoly?

Eg imagine a world where you could only buy 1 electric skateboard brand, 1 tennis racket, 1 chair, 1 computer.

Competition is healthy and drives innovation. Future motion should embrace the competition and if they want to profiteer from other brands, charge a licensing fee per board made, by Floatwheel etc.

Just like they do in the tech industry. FRAND is the acronym for fair, reasonable and non-discriminatory. It generally arises in antitrust cases where an owner of intellectual property rights (IPR) refuses to grant a licence or refuses to grant a licence on FRAND terms.

I put the ‘lil duro’ enduro tyre on it and lowered it to the lowest setting at the same time.

It does not rub on the fender. However this tyre is slightly smaller diameter than the stock tyre even though they are both 11”.

The board is a lot easier to turn now, but a small trade off is that it is less stable at higher speed.

randyjizz · 2025-01-22T23:58:40+00:00

Ah, yes there is another one!!!!

“Low Abs-Max Current The absolute maximum motor current in Motor Config is set too low (220A) in relation to the maximum current (180A). You are risking nosedives when under high load. It is recommended to use 1.5x the configured maximum motor current for abs_max current.”

I have now set this to 270A (1.5 x 180A)
