I guess it depends on what is considered a "social network". I canceled my facebook a couple years ago and don't have twitter or instagram or anything else like that. I do however belong to some forums (vbulletin type sites) and pay for some extra perks on them. Like being able to post in the classifieds, etc... I notice that since getting off of facebook I started going back to forums that had specific topics. I find that the discussions on there are much friendly an about a specific topic.

Haven't heard of this stuff before, but I"m with you. "Brain Octane Oil" :rollseyes:

We use a combination of splunk, solarwinds' server & application monitoring and new relic. We're about to start using prometheus for monitoring some apps that we've moved into containers. We also have several thousand monitors/alerts that are setup in ipmonitor that we're trying to get moved over to sam.

Maybe I'm missing something, but why even use Patreon, just ask for donations directly from people. As for the original question though, just because you have a job doesn't mean you shouldn't be rewarded for your open source work as well.

Or Google...

I've been using it for lots of things lately. The last thing was to process ebs volumes that get left behind when leostream deletes instances from it's pools. (we need fresh machines all the time, so that's why we delete these instead of re-using) We have it delete the machine from the pool, and the ami is set to not delete the volume. I use a cloudwatch event to detect this, spin up a new ec2 instance, attach the available volume, process some logs from it and then delete the new ec2 instance along with the volume.

I used to use a combo of python tools. Requests, beautifulsoup mostly. However the last few things I've built used selenium to drive headless chrome browsers. This allows me to run the javascript most sites use these days.

I've tried 7 different pages from our setup and not one of them worked.

We use ISL Pronto for connecting to external connections over the internet to users desktops.

We use this as well, although I don't think this is what the op is looking for. It sounds like he's looking to be able to connect remotely to a users desktop over the internet, not RDP into a machine on their network/s.

My most recent thing I did after getting a macbook was write a python script that went through interfacelift.com and downloaded all of the desktop images for my specific screen resolution. They sell them all in a zip for like $40 but it felt better getting them for free.(almost free, took about 30 minutes to write the script)

I've been using AWS Lambda for a few weeks now. Mostly for trivial things like tagging and infrastructure automation. I like it as it supports python. For what I'm doing I don't need any external libraries so it's pretty slick. No server to maintain, etc...

I'm struggling a bit to find event patterns that work in cloudwatch to trigger my lambda functions though. For instance when a volume becomes "available" I can't find an event pattern that triggers off of that, etc... If anyone has any tips or documentation you can point me to that would be awesome.

Are you sure about this? Just because they terminate ssl on the proxy doesn't mean the traffic between the proxy and the web service backends was plain HTTP. That's certainly not how we do things.
