That can be true if you are using tightly coupled event sources (like s3, SNS, etc) where you need to inspect the incoming object. If you are doing a HTTP / REST API, try to decoup…

Problem is, meat won't take on any smoke ring after a certain temperature (170 degrees)[1]. Thus you won't get that beautiful authentic smoked meat ring if you precook without smok…

I have a cluster of raspberry Pis setup next to my SmartThings hub. I upgraded storage to use external SSDs via USB 3.0 cables. After that, all my ZigBee devices dropped communicat…

Docker Swarm usage here in production. Mainly a regulatory and compliance constraint, but it is relatively simple compared to other container orchestration platforms.

This was a hilarious clip. Brought me back to 15 years ago, messing around with people on Ventrilo while playing World of Warcraft. Many, many lost nights and days playing that add…

Reading thru the thread, it appears the browser they are referring to may be Cutebrowser.

Docker most definitely has ARM and multi-architecture support. That is, assuming the particular image you are attempting to pull has been published using the Manifest V2 spec and h…

This. Docker Swarm, and by extension Docker EE / UCP, is barely in maintenance mode. Go compare the Moby and docker projects on GitHub vs kubernetes. To be clear, I use Docker Swar…

I have over a dozen in wall GE z-wave switches and dimmers in my home. They have been working great for years.

This isn't an accurate statement. I work on behalf of a federal government agency, and no one has write access in development, let alone production. Everything is required to run t…

Here in the entire state of Ohio, literally every dine in restaurant and/or bar operation has been shut down. Only take out / delivery is allowed: https://governor.ohio.gov/wps/por…

I was doing "devops" for Scottrade's order management system during the exact same time as the Knight implosion. If I remember correctly, the Facebook IPO was a larger mess we had …

As an architect, I am currently working on our org's first cloud deployment initiative. Due to federal compliance / regulations, we have no write access in higher / production boun…

I haven't written a blog, but I do have a 5 node RaspberryPi cluster running Docker Swarm. The docker stacks and compose files are on GitHub https://github.com/jmb12686/raspi-docke…

My wife (33 years old) was just diagnosed with type 1 diabetes last month. A healthy, under 120 lbs 5 foot 4 woman, who busts her ass for our young children, now has to learn how t…

This repo uses the Serverless Framework. It is an excellent abstraction framework for constructing, orchestrating, and deploying "serverless" applications to AWS (and other clouds)…

Here's another repo of mine doing (essentially) the same thing, multi arch image build using GitHub Actions. There is a bit more documentation in this repo regarding local builds t…

I've been leveraging docker buildx to create multi architecture images for a few months. It's quite nice and simple, and I've been able to even automate the multiarch builds with G…

I can also confirm that it was easy to store "notes" and write programs for TI calculators. The ability to store arbitrary ascii characters saved my butt on quite a few exams in th…

Does anyone know what power supply they are using? I am having trouble finding a good, rack-able USB power supply for my cluster of raspberryPis. If anyone at the conference can sn…

Amen to this... 3.5 yr old and twin infants here... I haven't been able to concentrate in years. When I have attempted to produce anything of value (in job or hobby), it's been at …

AWS announced this enhancement at 2018 re:Invent. It was slated for "sometime in 2019". I was excited, and I'm impressed that they released the feature well ahead of the end of the…

Stackdriver is remarkably awesome for log aggregation, storage, and querying. Uptime checks to arbitrary HTTP endpoints are fantastic! Not sure about other use cases such as visual…

In my anecdotal experience, attempting / allowing "true OO" programming turns quickly into an unreadable, unmaintainable, unreliable ball of mud. After leading a team of ~30 develo…

I have appreciated the automated notifications from GitHib for projects that have known vulnerable dependencies in my package.json(s). I just looked up Dependabot and linked it wit…
