Fixing an AWS Lambda function with LLMs

 Posted on March 22, 2024  |  

A few years ago my wife wanted to move her website from Namecheap to something else, but cheaper. We decided on AWS, given 95% of what she needed was just an S3 bucket plus Cloudfront. The trouble was the last 5%, a password protected web page. This requires a AWS Lambda function. Then I ran across this blog post and GitHub repo. It worked, and got the job done. All for the low low price of around $1 a month, down from Namecheap’s $5 a month. [Read More]

Kubernetes debugging and pvc backups

 Posted on October 8, 2023  |  

Yesterday I was doing miscellaneous on my storage server, aka my NAS. On it I run two pods in Kubernetes that utilize pvcs, aka persistent volume claims. In my setup these are managed via OpenEBS. Somehow some wires got crossed, and both pods had written to each others pvcs. This was obvious when looking into the pvcs, because some of the files where named for software a and some for software b. [Read More]

Octoprint as a container, aka how to setup software via helm charts

As I mentioned in Wifi trouble on an old NUC I recently had issues with my Raspberry Pi 4 that I used to run Octoprint. I was setting up the Raspberry Pi 4 and my Ender 3 V2 3D printer again after many months. The end goal is to print some fixtures for my new desktop CNC machine. In the process of re-setting up the Raspberry Pi 4 running Octopi. [Read More]

Wifi trouble on an old NUC

I recently had issues with my Raspberry Pi 4 that I used to run Octoprint for my Ender 3 V2 3D printer. The full story of that is for another time. To deal with that issue I decided to use an old Intel NUC6i7KYB NUC I had laying around instead. The goal being it would be faster, and more reliable than the Raspberry Pi. At first my plan was to re-use the wireless USB adapter, an ALFA AWLS036ACH. [Read More]

Monitoring bandwidth on an ASUS router

 Posted on August 23, 2023  |  

Recently I was being told by Cox that I was about to go over my data cap of 1280gb per month. I immediately had ideas of where my bandwidth was going, but I wanted a definitive answer. My wireless router, at the time was an ASUS GT-AXE11000. I have since switched to my 2.5gbit new Linux router. I tried the built-in features of my ASUS router, but found severe limitations and found the data incomplete. [Read More]

My 2.5gbit new Linux router

 Posted on August 18, 2023  |  

I recently upgraded my Cox internet from 1000mbit/35mbit to 2000mbit/100mbit. I already had a capable cable modem, an Arris S33. After upgrading I ran a speedtest and found I wasn’t getting any better than 1000mbit down. It quickly became obvious after some research why my internet seemed to be bottlenecked. My wireless router, a ASUS GT-AXE11000, has a 2.5gbit port, as does the cable modem. Yet the LAN side only has 1gbit ports. [Read More]
