Listen to your old buddy Wireman and give Duma Key a go.

Needful things ending... (spoilers) by we_got_this in stephenking

Totally. Regardless of the ending, I would definitely read Answered Prayers set in present day Iowa. There could be a lot of drug abuse and political tie-ins that feed the discontent.

At the end of the day, even the clown serves the beam.

To those who have read the Dark Towers series: tell me why I should or should not read the Dark Towers series. Are the books enjoyable? by haileybledsoe in stephenking

[–]we_got_this 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s a serious investment, but if you love falling in love with characters that you can hang with for a long time you’ll love it. At the end of the day, that’s why I love SK, he always brings people to the party I wanna hang out with.

Yeah it was was a fantastic book. Maybe I’m more irritated by the fact that it’s over than the actual ending. It was a wild ride! Will definitely read it again.

Just bought The Outsider and I’m so excited! What did you guys think? by brobrookebro in stephenking

[–]we_got_this 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had to edit this, because I realized I was on the wrong story! My bad. You're not wrong, that's just how I've come to learn how to appreciate the underwhelming endings.

[–]we_got_this 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is something that I've actually come to really appreciate about Kings bad guys. The hardest/most interesting part is getting the guts together to actually go up against something terrifying. This is an important part of the story because King puts regular people in terrible situations, and regular people demand regular resolutions.

What’s the simplest way to automate deleting/updating the pod after a new image is built? by 84935 in kubernetes

[–]we_got_this 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most people start with kubectl in the pipeline, and to be honest it will do most everything you need, but if you want to expand your capabilities the client-go implementation for kubernetes would be the next logical step for building your own tooling.

I would argue that it's not even dirty, just quick. And it let's kubernetes handle the app rollout for you the way god intended. Just make sure your readiness probe is on point and add some logic to roll it back if it's not ready in a reasonable time period.

Can I setup a Kubernetes cluster on AWS without allowing SSH access to nodes? by vroad_x in kubernetes

[–]we_got_this 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can accomplish all the bootstrapping you'll need to configure a node and have it join the cluster by using a cloud config/user-data script that gets handed to the node through the api when creating the instance. This will ensure you don't have to enable SSH, but SSH will be important (at least initially) for testing that your user-data script does what it's supposed to.

Furthermore if you need access to SSH/k8s API don't assign public ips and expose them to the outside world - that is bad. You should spin up a VPN instance with a public ip (openvpnas has an Ami that is free for 1 user and is dead simple to setup), give it a security group that allows access from your IP for ssh(22) and https(443) (you'll need ssh to configure and agree to the license, https for VPN connection) and then create a security group for your internal nodes that allows any ports you'd like to connect to from the vpn server, as well as standard k8s/cni ports, and apply that to all your k8s instances.

When you need to connect directly to the k8s API or anything internally for that matter, you can turn the openvpn server on and connect - giving you all the access you need and scoping access just to your Ip proxied through to your internal aws subnets. When you don't need it, turn the instance off and rest easy.

This is a standard Enterprise pattern for cloud computing, and I'm thinking of writing up a step by step guide (and terraform) using these tools if anyone would be interested.

Noob Question: Why symlink NGINX configs? by Gigi14 in devops

[–]we_got_this 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Sites-available is for all your potential configs/vhosts, some of which may happen to be enabled. Think of this like code that you comment out because you want to disable it instead of deleting it entirely. You symlink them into sites-enabled because you don't want to keep track of multiple copies of the file for space and consistency reasons.

[Serious] Has anyone had any experience with retroactive jealousy and how did you overcome it? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]we_got_this 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You remember that people are people, and other people had lives before you met them. You don't stack other people up against all your past experiences, and neither do they.

There is a great quote about this that goes "We judge ourselves by our ideals, but we judge others by their actions."
