Router Limits appears to just be another DNS tool, and one from Bark. Bark wasn't too impressive on
if I remember correctly.
Ah lol I didn't even notice the capital letters/realize it was a product name
Have you thought about powerline adapters? I've strongly considered them before, but never actually went through with the purchase. I'm skeptical, but they seem to get decent enough reviews

I've recognized an IPOD and witnessed it play out.
In the end the business decided it made more financial sense to put 200 VMs in Azure.
This is for a TV station cloud simply isn't an option to run this stuff unfortunately.
My point is that putting a bunch of VMs in Azure is a pretty expensive solution, but dealing with an IPOD ends up costing the business enough that the cost is acceptable.
The other solution is to not design an IPOD.
Exactly. Buy a correctly sized Scale box - no IPOD... sure, huge upfront cost, but who knows over the long term compared to Azure. etc etc etc.. We don't have any of the other needed information to know if going to Azure was the right move or not... but it's done, so we move on.
Literally everything is cheap compared to Azure. LOL. Even with all their specialty serverless whatever, never seen it cost close to what running your own would do. The cost is just so absurd per workload.
Their serverless offering is on par with the rest. It's a million requests per month and 400,000 seconds of compute for free. After that it's only $0.20 per million executions and $0.000016 per second. That's not really expensive at all.
Exactly. I'm using in a lot of places in production with ~10k users and twice as many devices that is using the serveless functions in many areas... basically for free. And, that's just the start (one example) of it... Having a VM with enough power to process that as frequently as it's getting done now along with all the other benefits around it, there's truly no comparison. Scaling it down to how a typical SMB would use it, well that's a no-brainer, as it'd be totally free and 100% beneficial. I don't think one's ignorance of a technology justifies it's disqualification of use in the real world.
This should probably be its own topic, but here we are... I'm totally ignorant to Azure and serverless concepts in general. What types of real world services/processes are SMBs using (or could/should be using) serverless Azure for?
I'm thinking about picking up an August Smart Lock. I don't NEED it... butttt yeah...

I'm with Wire - it's definitely not a clean... I just installed a new power plug myself behind my TV... though not an outside wall, not that that should be that big of a deal...
Yeah, unless these walls are filled to the edge with spray foam, feeding a few power cables down isn't going to be an issue. With fiberglass you'd just push through the insulation in those specific paths and it still wouldn't be that big of a loss.
Yeah, It's a new building so I hope there is spray foam. But even then it might not be that difficult. Might just need a wire probe.
No one around here does spray foam by default.
It should be. But yeah I don't think it's the default where @wirestyle22 is either.
I wonder what the price difference is? I'm guessing it used to be huge, but perhaps today, not so much??
Now if you were renovating and doing this yourself you can pick up spray foam kits that cost ~$770 which while still pricey, would save money compared to fiberglass.
That's it? We need to replace the insulation in our attic. Might have to do it ourselves if the DIY spray foam is that cheap now.
Yeah, that's per kit, each kit covers ~200 sqf at 1". It wouldn't be unexpected to need 2 or 3 kits to cover a single crawlspace attic.
1" - HAHA, so it's $770 for 57 square feet in reality.
I've also watched it being done (online) - it's an art, like spray painting cars... it takes a good amount of practice to not over spray the amount needed and end up with a ton of waste... in the attic, if it overflows, not that big of deal, but in walls, you don't want to waste a bunch that you're cutting off and discarding.
I purchased a 200ft kit, for like $350 I think, to do my rim joists in my crawl space. It's super easy. I believe once you're spending ~$1000 on materials (depending on local rates) it ends up being cheaper to hire somebody to do for you.
For closed cell foam you can only apply so thick in one pass before it's cured, so to get the R rating you would need for an attic in a colder climate zone, it would be insane to use a closed cell kit. Not only is it stupid expensive to do yourself, but waiting for curing between layers and crawling around in the attic multiple times in a poor mans hazmat suit? No thanks. Typically if you're doing foam in an attic they do a single layer of closed cell, then open cell on top.
When I did my attic I pumped in ~20" (R60) of loose fill fiberglass insulation for like $200... most home improvement stores lend you the machine for free if you buy enough bags, 10 bags in my case. I only used 6 bags and returned the rest with no questions asked. I will definitely go this route again on my next house.
