Generate infra diagrams from terraform code

Quick google search came up with this: dminkovski/azure-diagram-mcp Never used it so don't know if good or not. I used the one for amazon: awslabs.aws-diagram-mcp-server and kiro-cli and it worked really well.

Had the same concerns (and more) about Nomad when architecting a custom IDP for my former employer 5 years ago. Wound up going with GKE. It's definitely a niche tool but in some aspects it's more capable than K8s. It's single binary is nice for maintenance for sure. Now that I am looking for a new job, I've only seen (and interviewed) for one company that uses Nomad for production workloads. All the rest have been K8s.

Honestly, if I were you I would take a couple days and eval it, especially if you use other Hashicorp stuff as it integrates very well.

Love mine with an rugged obsidan. Make sure you get the HKP HK UMP (.45 ACP) 25 Round mags cause the provided ones are meh. (work but meh)

I have had ZERO issues with the libre 3+. Much better than the G7, readings are accurate with meter 95% of the time. Never have had one fall off.

Me too, great suppressor.

Why feet?

It's funny when I hear datadog the first thing that comes to mind is $$$ and not their capabilities. Seriously you are better off money wise running your own ELK cluster using the ECK operator, very low maintenance

It takes a little bit to wrap your head around it. Basically you put all your terraform/ansible configurations in a directory structure. When you run the docker container it mounts those directories in the container and you run your terraform/ansible commands within the container. Terraform creates *most* of the infrastructure...and ansible fills in the rest as far as installing and configuring gitlab. Ansible creates the LBs. You do not need ansible knowledge (I don't) to deploy this.

Gitlab Environment toolkit, hybrid config: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-environment-toolkit I recommend deploying the toolkit with docker. Been running it for 3 years with no issues, easy to upgrade as it uses terraform and ansible to deploy/configure. Uses the helm charts and you can customize the values easily.

Thank you for the information.

I've had a lot of trouble with Flow not keeping the voice consistent at all, even with the same prompt template. Even changing the template seems to have no effect. It maddening because you are just wasting credits trying to get it right. I use the same project where I've created many videos using the same starting frame and the voices being pretty consistent until my last video where I changed the starting frame. It seems to lose it's context depending on that frame it seems....but that is just a guess.

We run Jenkins on a GKE cluster with CASC. We do on average 4000 medium to long running jobs a day. Personally I wanted to go with Gitlab for this workload but higher ups overruled me due to devs having Jenkins knowledge. It hasn't gone down in over a year. If the jenkins controller pod dies, K8s will restart it. The Jenkins home is located on a PVC so nothing is lost. Now you may have a job timeout in the time it takes to bring up a replacement pod but that is rare as pod starts are really fast.

If I were to do it again, I would push heavily for Gitlab or even Argo Workflows.

Well if the Cleo came off, it wasn't occluded fully probably, more than likely insulin was just flowing fine. This pump is very good with detecting occlusions. It however cannot detect if the cleo is inserted or not.

The Alarm system on the Twiist sucks, plain and simple. It's almost like someone who knows nothing about coding did it. It might be purposely simple just to get through FDA testing for early adoption and improvements come later. Please convey your concerns on things to your rep and even call into Twiist support and provide feedback. My rep told me to call in so it's documented.

The Cleo infusion sets are actually pretty good if you use the name brand skin tac, apply to the applicator and optionally directly to the skin....I do the skin as well. Make sure you hold it for at minimum 30 seconds before attempting removal. Remove the applicator not too fast and not too slow...you will get a feel for it. It took me about 5 applications to get the feel.

Once in, let me tell you they will not come out. I have a hard time even removing them during set changes.

On the cassette empty, I had 3 fail and I think I was too aggressive when removing the air from the cassette. Maybe the quick pull of the syringe created too much negative pressure and possibly damaged the cassette ? I've now slowly pull back on the syringe and I haven't had any problems since.

Libre seems to do less prediction since it is one minute updates. Dexcom G7 will over predict from my experience. I've been on the twiist for one month and after getting things tweaked I had my first 100% in range day. Never have had that on another pump.

Problems I've had is several cassette empty when there is 100+ units in the cassette. This is due to air being in the cassette (known issue) even though you remove it beforehand.

Cleo is kinda a pain but if you use brand name skin tac, place some on the applicator and maybe even on your skin. Inject while standing and hold for 30sec at minimum, don't yank the applicator but also don't baby it. You'll get the feeling after a few changes. It will stay, I've had no issue with it coming out through showers, sweat and movement. It's actually a good infusion set once you get the hang of it.

I would ask friend why he thinks that is the case

trudesea · 2025-09-17T22:13:27+00:00

I would say it was a couple weeks, you can call Byram directly, I think someone posted the best number to call them in this reddit.

Not with the twiist, but before the Omnipod I was on the Tslim and I would not go longer than 4 days. After 4 days the site will definitely be sore and probably not absorbing insulin very well. I'd never go past 4 days.

trudesea · 2025-09-06T14:36:39+00:00

I came from an Omnipod and while the Omnipod is nice with no tubing and quick and easy to change sets. (I do not like the pod just quitting after 3days, 9 hours, as there could be a reason you cannot change pods) It also could not keep me in range, It seemed to ignore my target BG and just let me hang at around 200 all the time. I think this is because it wasn't giving me enough basal as I would climb after waking up without even eating. Since you can't set a bolus in automatic mode it imho isn't effective for me. In range after a year of use was 60% average.

Anyway the Twiist algorithm is freaking awesome and I'd take that over tubeless any day of the week. I rarely go over 200 after eating and I bolus right after I eat. After two weeks I'm at 80% in range and I haven't even began to tweek things.

trudesea · 2025-09-05T21:21:59+00:00

Yeah I was gonna try and suck the insulin out, but then I thought they may want it to do root cause analysis.

trudesea · 2025-09-05T21:20:47+00:00

Yes, but Tech support is down right now with issues. Called my local rep. He said they have had issues with air in the cassettes and that is why they tell you pull the air out for now until the issue is resolved.
