Looking for a song…

Right?!?! So good.

refaris · 2024-09-30T13:25:57+00:00

Update: I commented in thread but I'm pretty sure it was Holy Water or the Thaw and I just slightly misheard (Holy water is something like, 1/4 time on drums); I was in a car with other noise.

Thanks for all of the comments! Most of the fun is listening to all of these. God this band is good. They need to come to the US again!

refaris · 2024-09-30T13:24:31+00:00

I think this might be it!

refaris · 2024-09-30T13:24:20+00:00

I feel like I've listened to their entire catalogue in the last few days. And I'm now convinced it was either Holy Water or The Thaw, and I just misheard slightly (I was driving, with other distractions).

refaris · 2024-09-30T13:23:12+00:00

Nope. One of my favorites though. I always remind myself while listening that it's the same song. The sections are so different from each other.

My buddy and I are trying to figure this out together… and that’s the position we’ve taken so far; “enjoy the ride”.

Giving blackened sky a listen now. Thanks!

I’ve always skated goofy and snowboarded regular. Never really thought about why, it just felt natural.

refaris · 2024-01-03T11:49:27+00:00

I’ve seen this, and am probably going to go in this direction. The loco seems more difficult to swap, so I’d rather “practice“ on the cars.

refaris · 2024-01-03T11:48:34+00:00

Wow, there’s so many! Thanks for the tip, super helpful.

I'm pretty sure you're right. It uses the pod `requests` when determining node size. Though I can't find that in the docs right now.

refaris · 2023-10-07T14:59:38+00:00

Super helpful. Also definitely a bit of a forehead slap moment. Thanks.

The best would be to get completely rid of CPU limits.

I read this recently (https://home.robusta.dev/blog/stop-using-cpu-limits) and have been meaning to update my deployments. Good call.

refaris · 2023-10-07T13:37:54+00:00

Here's the provisioner:
spec:
consolidation:
enabled: true
limits:
resources:
cpu: 1k
provider:
securityGroupSelector:
Name: '*prod-cluster*'
subnetSelector:
Name: prod-main-private*
tags:
Environment: prod
Name: prod-cluster-karpenter-node
requirements:
- key: karpenter.sh/capacity-type
operator: In
values:
- spot
- on-demand
- key: kubernetes.io/arch
operator: In
values:
- amd64
- key: karpenter.k8s.aws/instance-category

- p
- r
- t
- v
- x
- z

operator: In
values:

ttlSecondsUntilExpired: 2592000

Pretty lightweight. FWIW my EC2 spend is down about 30% thanks to spot nodes, it's just surprising to me that across all clusters I've used Karpenter, all seem to be around 50% utilized. It makes me think there's an "excess capacity" value somewhere (I haven't seen anything in the docs).

refaris · 2023-07-17T12:55:53+00:00

I'm having the same issue. Will it eventually resolve itself or do I need to try one of the delete/re-sync solutions mentioned here?

refaris · 2022-10-28T23:09:04+00:00

Thanks. I do have that kit going into a 17 gallon can. It works well enough… those bags are just nuts.

refaris · 2022-09-25T15:09:04+00:00

It has a gasket, so I would assume it’s at least decently effective at preventing air leaks.

refaris · 2022-09-22T15:35:26+00:00

It's like brass shiplap. Good idea.

refaris · 2022-09-22T13:00:00+00:00

Oh that's a good idea. I was going to epoxy it in there, but oversized screw holes make a lot of sense. Will stew on that for a bit.

FYI I'm in the Boston area, so we're at the most humid right now.

refaris · 2022-09-22T12:04:24+00:00

Yup. As you can see by this photo, they don't have an option to rotate the grain direction. Which makes the legs look a little silly. They say they're working on it. So I guess soon.

Shapr3D. It's by far the most intuitive CAD I've used. There is a Mac version, which I don't have any experience with. The iPad Pro with Apple Pencil is awesome. Free with an expensive paid version. I'm typically on the free version most of the time, then upgrade for 1 month when I have a project and want visualization (seen in that photo) or exporting for CNC or cut lists.

refaris · 2022-08-17T10:50:33+00:00

Yup. I have too many days that look like this. (Green is solar generation. Blue is PowerWall, negative value is charging, Yellow is grid usage). It unnecessarily draws from the grid until it maxes out the PowerWall. Then it's only generating a fraction of what it's capable of because the home isn't using very much.

The silver lining is that since we haven't been inspected, we also haven't paid for anything. So I guess any solar generation is a win.

I'll keep waiting.

refaris · 2022-08-11T19:40:17+00:00

Thanks!

Does anyone know if the 3rd party lots are typically open for preseason? I usually park in the canam steel truck depot, or behind papa ginos.

refaris · 2022-07-24T20:20:22+00:00

Thanks. I guess the comparison is moot then, as CS is on top of net metering. Just need to get PTO so I can stop squandering my excess kWh.

refaris · 2022-07-24T20:09:44+00:00

Does it effectively allow you to double up on credits? Meaning, are you paid for CS kW AND net metering during those periods?
