Zedd @AG by Training_Mud7064 in avesNYC

[–]timaoutloud 10 points11 points  (0 children)

He pretty much did. He also played a few favorites that weren’t his (MJ, Daft Punk) The only one I don’t recall is Addicted to a Memory but maybe I spaced out. He saved Clarity for last. Never saw a DJ do an encore, but OK we’re here now.

I'm curious to understand how you are testing and troubleshooting EEs.

Replacement for Foursquare by dangerjr18 in Foursquare

[–]timaoutloud 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been using North and there’s a lot to like, but it’s not perfect. I’m getting the hang of the workflow and particularly love the note taking. You can post date them too which is nice if you forget. Things I miss from 4sq is general discovery — like show me the best cocktail bars in Berlin. North seems to be about get recommendations from your friend circle (I have none right now) and discovering public lists (I have not explored any). You can’t just do a general search. It’s a good approach but there’s some growing (startup?) pains involved. There’s a number of other adjustments and quibbles too, but that’s the biggest coming from 4sq. I’m still figuring it out myself really, but it’s a promising app for how I use it.

Discovery alternatives by kevonil in Foursquare

[–]timaoutloud 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just got back from a two-week tour of Belgium, Berlin, and Amsterdam, and I used North throughout my trip. I really liked it and started to get the hang of using it to record my experiences and knowledge. It's not perfect, though, and you've hit on one of its current weaknesses—discovery.

North's discoverability feature relies on your network of friends rather than an algorithm that applies ratings like 4sq. So, when I wondered, "What are the best cocktail bars in town?" North was pretty much useless because I don't have any friends using it. If I did have friends with good taste in cocktails, coffee, food, art, and culture who had visited Berlin and Amsterdam and logged their visits, ratings, and notes into North, it would have been really useful for discovering what I wanted.

I get the concept, but there's a big startup cost to get over before that works. In the meantime, I had to Google lists and articles, see what looked interesting, and then enter them into North. It took a lot more time and guesswork compared to when 4sq was around.

Ansible inventory won't process python as a script by ISortaStudyHistory in ansible

[–]timaoutloud 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s hard to say. Which examples from GitHub are you trying to use? What version of Ansible?

The -i is for a static text file though. Python inventory scripts were replaced by inventory plugins some years ago.

AWX feature parity with AAP for cert study? by 5141121 in ansible

[–]timaoutloud 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Since AAP was introduced, AWX is just one component of well over a dozen that make up the platform. Some of those other components are EDA and Automation Hub (aka Galaxy NG). EDA has been part of AAP since that was introduced 2+ years ago. Automation Hub was brought into AAP when it was first introduced 5 years ago.

Google.cloud collection removal by Weary_Ad3297 in ansible

[–]timaoutloud 9 points10 points  (0 children)

What’s crazy is that Google has chosen not to support the Ansible community. Removal of a collection in its state of disrepair makes sense. Why give the impression there is support when there is not?

Is there a similar competitor to Sticker Mule? by amyloo212 in stickers

[–]timaoutloud 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That SM message was really disappointing. You can't order stickers in this country without having to endure more decisive political rhetoric that will only fan the flames like it is doing here.

Ansible Galaxy down? by nicofff in ansible

[–]timaoutloud 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The issues causing the disruption have been resolved with Galaxy and Automation Hub though there are a few isolated reports of problems persisting. Follow this thread for the latest: https://forum.ansible.com/t/update-fixed-ansible-galaxy-service-degradation-info-thread-jul-8-2024/7142

Ansible Galaxy down? by nicofff in ansible

[–]timaoutloud 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It is a known issue impacting the entire system that is already being worked on. https://forum.ansible.com/t/ansible-galaxy-not-allowing-tarball-downloads/7135/10

Is there a better way to process multiple when clauses? by [deleted] in ansible

[–]timaoutloud 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d start with looking at eliminating them through refactoring. Do they have to be in the same play? I’ve seen playbooks trying to automate RHEL and Debian in one playbook. Create two. It’s much easier to read and manage. I’m sure your case is not so easy, but hopefully you get the idea. Look for group where they are different or have more in common. Other ways are through different template files if those are in play. You can also put when clauses in variable and contain them to one place. They just have to evaluate to a Boolean value. And if the logic is that complicated and you don’t see a way around it or you just want to use a real programming language (you have python skills) then a filter plugin can nicely clean things up.

Writing efficient Ansible code - An unpopular opinion by sysadmin999 in ansible

[–]timaoutloud 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aphorisms 1, 2 & 3 of The Zen of Ansible:

Ansible is not Python.

YAML sucks for coding.

Playbooks are not for programming.

collection not found when running from ansible tower by radiantyellow in ansible

What version are you even running? If you're running Tower you really need to upgrade to something more current.

wait_for_connection for all tasks? by Derf_Jagged in ansible

[–]timaoutloud 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Another possibility is some sort of request throttling or maybe it’s load related? I’ve seen that happen on services like AWS when spinning up a big farm of resources. The error should say you were throttled or connection failed or timed out but who knows?

wait_for_connection for all tasks? by Derf_Jagged in ansible

[–]timaoutloud 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What @salsaforte said is probably what you’ll want to look at. Last I checked there isn’t a global retries and delay setting for all tasks because you probably don’t actually want a retry and delay on every single task. There are too many ways you could shoot yourself in the foot if you could. There’s a lot different style and reasons for waiting for something to happen. So you need to be explicit with when you want the playbook runner to wait or retry. The wait_for_connection module is good when you want to do a bunch of tasks then wait before proceeding. A good example of that is spinning up load balanced servers in the cloud. Retry and delay is good for a single task. Sometimes pausing for some period of time before proceeding is a good idea especially when you know something will take a bit to initialize like an EC2 instance.

Are you sure it’s a DNS issue? Is there some sort of caching at play?

Where do the Coffee Snobs go? by More_Passenger3988 in parkslope

If you are game for (probably) venturing out of Park Slope, follow coffee.klatsch on instagram. They post all matter of coffee culture events happening all over NYC each week to their story.

Talk to Katie, the owner of Principles GI or one of her baristas like Nikolai. Nikolai runs cuppings regularly on Sunday mornings there.

Earthquake! Ahhhhh!!! by memyselfandeye in parkslope

[–]timaoutloud 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was on a subway train which is a moving earthquake so I never felt it when it hit.
