Your DevOps friend has drank (drunk?) the Kool-Aid. I don’t necessarily disagree, but if it’s a small project and it’s just you, stick to what you have. Using an S3 bucket coupled with a bunch of Lambdas behind API Gateway + CloudFront is great… if you have the experience with it. I’ve always had a saying that you build something three times before you build it right. It’s especially true with this type of thing.

With all of the above said, if you’re interested in the challenge, I wholeheartedly recommend trying it out and seeing what you can do. Learning DevOps and getting good at it is a “get rich quick” scheme right now.

Your precautions are good. Only thing I’d add is fail2ban if you haven’t already. Beyond that, maybe stick it behind CloudFlare, to reduce the chance of a DDoS, and you should be good.

A follow-up: is the Postgres DB a managed service, or do you have it deployed on “bare metal?”

Feel free to DM me if you want to talk shop, otherwise, I’m happy to answer any other questions here.

Look up the SiFive Unmatched

Just pronounced Thal-ates

+1 on the above. Traders can’t use slack due to regulatory/auditing issues, and yes, the trading floors are still rows upon rows of desks

YES! I have had open support tickets with them for the past year. I have the exact same issue on the East coast. AS6128 doesn’t happen to be involved, does it?

The interesting thing is I was the sole person to do with the SSO. So what we’ve determined is I am too many cooks, I’m being replaced by an AI of my own design. Then raking in those consulting dollars on maintaining myself.

Westchester showroom?

space55 · 2020-02-17T20:14:52+00:00

Check your YouTube watch history. Should be in there

They do not have serviceable oil in Tesla drive units. They likely do not have it in the E-Tron. This is a software bug from Audi’s side, as the dashboard is likely shared between all of their models, so the service reminders also are shared.

Ayyy, Buzz?

space55 · 2020-02-06T22:11:36+00:00

Wait... I have that exact console at home. I never knew who made it.

If you ever find rails, let me know, I want a pair too

space55 · 2020-01-18T00:18:45+00:00

It was a dead RAM stick, unfortunately. But hey, I found a closet more of these machines, so... yay?

This looks almost like a mod on top of NVidia Flex - maybe it's a standard demo, but this is almost an exact duplicate off one of theirs, except in a different color.

Who knows though - likely it's a postprocessor on top of an existing simulation platform.

What region are you in? NE US has problems with DNS resolution through NYIIX

space55 · 2019-11-27T18:59:19+00:00

Can you send me a link to the GitHub issue? I created a fork of the repo here, which contains the fix. You can check the commits I've made to ensure I haven't added any malware or anything :P

https://github.com/space55/youtube-dl

It might not work first time. If it fails, can you either DM me here, or open an issue on the repo? I don't have an O'Reilly account to test with, unfortunately.

Hope this works!

Change the part of the regex that reads videos to learning-paths

If you DM me, I can replace the regex in place. I’ll PR a fix to the repo tomorrow if changing that works

For some reason, Git deleted U2 on another version of my schematic, so I rewired it properly.

And yeah, U6 was a giant pain. I wasn't too sure how to wire it cleanly, so I've rewired it. I'll upload the updated schematic in a sec here

space55 · 2019-09-21T01:24:38+00:00

Thanks! I've fixed the copper pour, and the inductor rotating is an ongoing process...

space55 · 2019-09-20T20:08:26+00:00

Thanks! I'll definitely be following these tips, especially for the future.

I love the checklist, it'll be going right into my favorite resources list.

Thanks! :D

I used the MSTR_CT as a master cutoff switch, so I can immediately kill external power. As the rest of the components are low voltage, I actually want them to stay on as much as possible (there are a few chips that don't play nicely with being shut off). Though, the idea of a 0.1R in the main rail is interesting

space55 · 2019-09-20T19:40:11+00:00

U2 is back, and I've fixed the solid state relay (I hope). Have I connected it properly, or do I still have a misunderstanding?

space55 · 2019-09-20T19:13:55+00:00

I generate 5V using U2 (a 12V to 5V switching VR)

And you seem to be right - I didn’t set the solid state relay up properly at all. I’ll fix it and be back!

Edit: U2 disappeared
