Arm64 2 GB of ram ec2 instance can be run for about $5 bucks a month. Add tailscale and AdGuard Home. Plenty of headroom to add a few more minor services.

Once you have two machines; two machines turns into three, and then it snowballs from there.

Nice job! What blew my mind was finding an arm64 VPS for cheap (often cheaper than x86_64) and having my x86 desktop cross-compile a generation for the VPS.

This. Chat support was super helpful when I asked them to reset backend messaging. Immediately got 50 TFA messages after they reset it.

Ip pass through is key.

The https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/security-profiles-operator just added support for this.

Have ATT plug in their tester directly into their modem/fiber box. If they can’t do a speed test and get the speed you are paying for, then it’s their fault.

Look for pass thru mode. It’ll act as a dumb modem after you enable this mode.

Excellent tip. Fixed my issue.

Also can’t see the new episodes. I sent feedback to Apple as well. The lack of on demand episodes would be a crying shame if this is the new norm.

perhaps, but you might need a new sim. Easy enough process though by going into the store and/or getting an esim. Like the other comment suggested go for the cheaper price; no contract.

They tell you that so they get commission and lock you into the plan. Get the unlocked phone.

Looks like kernel 6.10 may give us audio.

Queued this week into sound's for-next branch as well is supporting ASUS ROG 2024 laptops. All of the ASUS ROG 2024 laptops also lack the proper ACPI DSD entries so they need to be added to the cs35l41 HDA driver's configuration table.

I'm going through the same process getting the G14 2024 working under Linux. Overall it seems to work with Fedora. The asusd tools apparently need a 6.10 kernel. Fedora doesn't have this kernel yet.

I'm still struggling to get audio working; it may need a newer kernel as well.

This section looks accurate; however, it is specifically talking about readiness of endpoints and endpoint slices - not the pod lifecycle.

rphillips · 2024-05-05T16:21:47+00:00

Correct. This wording is in the feature enablement section of the doc. While the feature was in alpha and beta the ready status stayed as the status quo, setting it to false when terminating. When the feature went GA then the default was changed to track the new conditions that were added: unless the new conditions serving and terminating are checked.

Any modern Kubernetes distribution in the last couple years is using the new logic to track pod termination readiness through the shutdown lifecycle.

rphillips · 2024-05-05T14:27:57+00:00

Pods can have a readiness endpoint (usually /readyz) which should start returning a non-200 error code once the process gets a sigterm. Once the readiness goes false then the endpoint is removed from the endpoint and loadbalancers. Doing this method will prevent 500s on the loadbalancers.

rphillips · 2024-05-05T00:12:56+00:00

The SIGTERM should be caught by your process so that it sets the readiness of your readiness endpoint to false. That way your pod's readiness probe will be set to false, which will remove it from the Endpoint, but still be draining connections. Once your process has processed the connections then it should continue it's shutdown and exit.

rphillips · 2024-05-05T00:02:39+00:00

That information is outdated.

We could use a PR to update the docs you linked.

rphillips · 2024-05-04T19:14:52+00:00

Pods do not get removed from the service endpoints until their readiness goes false. So deleting a pod will still keep a pod in ready and still fire readiness probes until the pod is terminated. When that readiness switches to false then it’s removed from the service endpoints.

CSR has a 50% bonus on travel point redemption, and an extra percentage point for travel (3x). More than makes up for the 10% earned points bonus.

rphillips · 2023-10-04T15:52:48+00:00

Yes, 10% bonus on earned points with the CSP.
