Enjoying app.cloudcraft.co for building AWS diagrams and want the infinite grid but not ready to spring for the paid version 💶. Thank you photo editing skills.

One of my 2022 goals for the reef is to upgrade the lighting. Surprisingly my 2 AI Primes are capable of growing Acropora and Montipora near the surface but things are far from optimal. Adding a third light to the mix, like a row of T5 bulbs, could really help even the spread out and reach some shady spots.

Judging which light to buy hinges on what I currently have and without PAR measurements it’s just guessing. After researching I found the Apogee sensor for ~450 EUR and the less accurate Senseye ~150 EUR 💶💶. Cost prohibitive measuring led me to give up on measuring, that is until today!

This morning in the German speaking saltwater reef tank friends what’s app chat 💬 they were discussing PAR and I asked about renting a meter come someone and learned about meerwasser-hardware.de renting the Apogee sensor out! Finally an avenue to figuring out my lighting.

Stumbled across this cool Kubernetes tool. It does more but the development env feature most excites me. Imagine working on a frontend and API code bases locally and having clustered containers automatically get the changes and hot-reload. 🤯. So much less memory and CPU recourses needed locally.

Adding a keep_warm seems to have solved it!

Made this new AWS Lambda + DynamoDB solution over top of my Pleroma instance in order to speed up the micro-blog page of my personal site. Surly a quick DynamoDB query will be faster then VPS + Docker + Big Elixir App + Postgres query? Somehow not!?!

10515.3ms response time then the following are quicker. Next step looking into how lambda warmup works, and if the lambda has enough RAM allocated.

Snowboarding at Ehrwald then cross country near Kaltenbrunn. We made challenging hilly route do to a Langlaufen competition in the valley. Acquired new bruises from trying to carve on cross country skis, 😅⛷. The fitness adventure in the mountains was worth it.

The styloforest is under construction. Last night got a huge stylophora milka tree in but it broke so now I'm pivoting to using the frags. Plan is to create a dense forest out of the pieces.

Also got a cool deep purple acropora frag and traded for a piece of bubble gum montipora.
