To be fair, I believe only one outage was a Sentry SDK bug combined with a Sentry ingestion outage, and Sentry patched the bug quickly! ❤️
Our misconfig of Sentry Traces Sampler has caused us several other minor outages. Please show how to read a request URI with query string in Traces Sampler docs.

We love using Sentry to monitor our websites and web apps for bugs and performance issues. It is unfortunate that Sentry outages and SDK changes have resulted in more downtime for our websites and web apps than hosting provider outages.

2/ Excited that our area has seen a 4X increase in # of EV fast charging stations (100-350kW) over the past 12 months.
It's also been exciting to see announcements over past 12 months of many upcoming EV fast charging stations along various routes between our city and surrounding metro areas. #NEVI

2/ ... and if an app *REQUIRES* access to my contacts, it better be a direct replacement for my contacts app. Otherwise, instant uninstall!
Even if the app developers are not spamming your friends and family, they are likely using the data to record connections between users and selling the data. 🙁

Thanks! I only changed the DNS IP in DHCP.
I use DHCP to auto-configure the DNS server for all devices on my home network, including devices with "static" IP addresses. These graphs show the transition between DNS servers as each device receives the new DNS IP during their daily DHCP lease renewal.

Good luck with your move! Do you use Docker containers or Linux containers? Does your Raspberry Pi host any other services that interact with the Mosquitto MQTT or MongoDB services?

Thanks! Running Pi-Hole (ad block), Homebridge (HomeKit integration), and custom code that throttles our EV charging to reduce kW demand ⚡️ fees.
Each service is a separate Docker container hosted by Raspberry Pi OS. Using community images to avoid spending a lot of time on install and maintenance.

2/ I considered an in-place Raspberry Pi upgrade but decided this was a great time for a scratch rebuild of all home services and didn't want the pressure of rebuilding and migrating every service simultaneously.
In the process, I ended up with latest versions and much better docs for each service.

No stranger to long audiobooks, but W&T is longer than my two longest listens from 2024 combined! 😬
I listened to most of these 24+ hour books during long solo roadtrips, otherwise I’d have been hard-pressed to finish them within 21 days.
Hope you find time to enjoy this one!

3/ My first attempt at this Thanksgiving Fruit Salad recipe was a hit at our office pot luck, so I made more for family.
Per feedback on recipe page, I used 50% less sugar and also used canned oranges. Don't take a shortcut when it comes to the syrup! The syrup is what makes this special. 😍

We use soft deletes (100M+ rows, 200+ relationships) and love them! Prior to adopting Laravel, all our records had an “active” boolean. We like having separate updated vs deleted timestamps when investigating data issues.
I agree they complicate the code. For us, it has been worth the extra effort.

6/ I would like to begin automating our PHP and JS dependency updates. The first step would be to automate the commit and deploy of patch-releases for our upstream PHP/JS packages using Dependabot, Renovate, or similar.
How are others handling automation of dependency updates?

5/ Here's an example of my git commit log from one of our projects, filtered using my upstream package deploy emoji. 🚀
I performed an unusual mid-week deploy of upstream PHP/JS updates this week. Otherwise, upstream package deploys for the past 3 months have been flawless.

4/ Our CI/CD pipeline tests, builds, and deploys use AWS services. I'm confident some 3rd party services would be easier to configure, but cannot beat the cost and reliability of what we've built. We frequently deploy partial features throughout the week with a 99% successful deploy rate.

3/ I do make two exceptions to our #DeployEveryFriday process:
1. Deploy on Saturday if we need to deliver end-of-period payroll/accounting data to customers on Saturday (e.g. 1st or 16th day of month)
2. Deploy +/- 1-2 days if I will be unavailable to monitor for bugs on Saturday. Vacation, etc.

2/ Our customers use our data services primarily Monday-Friday during US business hours, so deploying on Friday afternoon and fixing the very rare bugs that aren't caught by our test suite on Saturday morning is best for us.

I don't think this is limited to the PATRON tier. The new stats pages are visible in my Letterboxd PRO account too. :)

Haha! Similar thing here…
Why is my headphone volume so low? Eventually realized the music was coming out of my laptop speakers. 🤦♂️
