Manage AWS Instances via the CLI

Using the AWS CLI to manage your AWS EC2 Instances in a quick and easy way

Manage AWS Instances - Clayton Errington

Using the AWS CLI to manage your AWS EC2 Instances in a quick and easy way.

Recently I have moved into a new position working on the cloud environment in my current company as an AWS Engineer to help build, support, maintain the infrastructure of our systems. With this change has also allowed me to learn more about AWS and use the CLI both locally and on the hosted EC2 instances.

Can I use Linux from a portable Hard Drive to use whenever/wherever I need it?
  • It is doable to install an OS onto a flash drive or external drive, but from my experience it was really slow. Just need to make sure to then boot the machine to the USB device. Some machines you might find it difficult to change that in the BIOS.

  • How do I view a post made on one instance from my instance?
  • You can try the “more > copy link to fediverse”

    But you shouldnt have to browse kbin.social then copy that link to a url formatted for you instance.

    On your kbin.cafe you could try /d/kbin.social to try and do a link too. Might just need to follow the /m/ on other instances to see the posts from other kbin and lemmy instances.

    How do I view a post made on one instance from my instance?
  • You and others on kbin.cafe will have to subscribe to the same magazine on other instances. You would interact with it just like you are now with this post on kbin.social. There is a possibility the same post could appear in the general / all feed of federated posts too.

  • Get started with libSQL, a next-gen fork of SQLite - LogRocket Blog
  • This is neat, been looking for an example on how to use a SQLite db in a vuejs app. This could be what I need!

  • How do I view a post made on one instance from my instance?
  • You are viewing a post that is originating on kbin social. It is then federating to your instance in kbin.cafe. So your instance is receiving a copy in a way to view and interact with the post. Your instance then can send a copy of the replies and comments to the originating instance so they can all work together.

  • Will we ever be able to log into Mastodon via kbin.social domain?
  • They all do interact and “work” together. I know Dansup is working on a single sign in with mastodon to Pixelfed. That’ll be a nice integration too. I think what kind of integration will be nice to have one account across multiple platforms.

  • Post creation, filters and more coming to Artemis App
  • This is looking great! Going to be a nice addition to the kbin experience. Can’t wait!

  • How to add Related Magazines / Communities to a Magazine Panel
  • I have not yet unfortunately. I dont want to bother @ernest either but I havent had much luck. Wonder if @dannekrose knows as well?

  • Kbin dark mode?
  • The settings and federation panel are on the right sidebar by default. On mobile they are set to float and follow the main content then hide the panel so you see the federation icon and settings panel. After the settings is the magazine info and the user who posted the thread info.

    I agree these should be a tad easier to find or added to the user profile as well.

  • Why does it seem everything on KBin is from lemmy?
  • I’ve used some of them and the web and mobile interface of kbin is still easier to use than the beta apps of lemmy and web interface. Not sure why so many went the lemmy route other than the rexxit and lemmy was slightly easier at the time to spin up new instances.

  • Merging into c/[email protected]
  • Things can all be related, and also federated between platforms. should still let individuals build the community where they see fit. there will still be people going to both.

  • Why is Kbin seemingly growing considerably slower than Lemmy?
  • I also think some of the growth of Lemmy is the ability to get the project to a functioning stance. The start of Kbin still seems a little rocky, but getting better.

  • I haven't seen anyone mention the kbin native(?) app!? I tried it and it seems perfect and amazing?
  • @hariette is working on ArtemisApp and there is a private beta first as it's all from the ground up. There's a lot of work Kbin needs itself to have 3rd party integrations as it is a little newer and younger than some of the alternatives.

    @dansup is also working on another alternative too, kbam

    Both of them are working hard on getting something to community is wanting. All in due time! You can join the /m/ArtemisApp magazine or dansup for following along with their progress. Getting involved with them seems to be the best way to help.

  • Artemis private beta rollouts have begun!
  • This is going to be a game changer for kbin! Can't wait!

  • We are launching KBIN fully managed service
  • For that price point and management, I sure hope that helps kbin easier for others to get more instances going. Even if folks have a 1-5 user instance $10/mo is great!

  • anyone here fancy themself some GameCube?
  • Still love the GameCube and games. This is what we introduced the kids too and it’s been fun watching them play the games that brought me a lot of fun too.

    • Mario Kart

    • Super smash brothers

    • Crazy Taxi

    Could find the RCA connections on tvs now, but the Wii was great in the backward compatibility! Dolphin worked great for some games too, and a controller USB adapter and we’re in business!

  • YSK: In addition to Reddit, StackOverflow is on Strike
  • I never got any help asking questions there anyways. Answers I got back we’re trollish. When I provide and answer it can’t be the answer as it’s based on your own reputation score which you can’t get but answering questions. It seems like a flawed system. Didn’t know they had mods either. Never really got any solutions either from stack overflow, unless you read every comment for the right answer.

    How to add Related Magazines / Communities to a Magazine Panel

    I've created a few magazines here on kbin, but also know of a few other similar ones on other kbin and lemmy instances. How do we add them to the Related Magazines?

    Omnivore a Pocket Alternative

    Omnivore is the free, open source, read-it-later app for serious readers.

    Omnivore is the free, open source, read-it-later app for serious readers. I'm looking into setting up this read-it-later service. I have a lot of URLs saved in my browser and need a place to bookmark them as well. Thinking this is a good place to start.

    Anyone else using omnivore?

    How to check for Jellyfin updates

    claytonerrington.com How to check for Jellyfin updates - Clayton Errington

    As with many software there are updates to them. Jellyfin seems to not have a great way to check for updates and install automatically. However, you can use the built-in API to help with that."

    I enjoy working on selfhosted items and Jellyfin is in the mix. As with many software there are updates to them. Jellyfin seems to not have a great way to check for updates and install automatically. However, you can use the built-in API to help with that.
