So hopefully I can get back to it to make it easier for other people to kind of do the same thing. But right now it's just a series of Lambda scripts that just make it easier to spin up stuff. And how much does it cost you to actually run this? My monthly bill is maybe $3 to $5 a month. Oh, okay. I feel like, yeah, on average, it's around $3. So, I mean, they use it regularly.
It's definitely been the cheapest I've found, just not time-wise.
Yeah, it's pretty great. So when I... What I ultimately did is made a way for just some environment variables as, you know, the allowed admins to whitelist IPs, which basically just become the parents, right? Right.
So then any parent that wants to be able to get their kid to join or, you know, to stop their kid from playing or anything like that, they could just text this number and say, hey, like, you know, remove this whitelisted IP for now. And then it cuts them out of the server, right? Yeah. No, that makes sense. Yeah. So it's been really helpful, you know, just to help.
I mean, it's hard because like you said, like, how do you trust any one of these servers outside of Minecraft's, you know, realms or whatever it is. And, you know, that that is great, too. But then like any of their friends have to be in the realms also. And it becomes this thing of, OK, well, who's paying for what? Right.
I have all that backed up to S3. Right. That's how that works. So then, you know, when they turn it back on, all their stuff's still there.
Well, I'll tell you what, Minecraft servers are not that hard to get configured and spin up. So at least there's that for you.
Yeah. Yeah, luckily I haven't hit that wall yet. My kids aren't as demanding with the mods.
Yeah, I'm on Twitter. T-H-E, code name V, the code name V. Find me on GitHub at Codename V. I have a blog where I post about my experiments with embedded systems and Ruby. That's at least been what I've been writing about currently. And that's blog.codenamev.com. So that's where you can find me. Awesome.
You're welcome. All right. Honestly, let me know how that goes because I've been the only one that's used it so far. Will do.
I feel like, you know, like a lot of people don't like they like to draw parallels of like front end coding to back end coding. And like, you know, if somebody wants to switch to Rust, like, you know, that's a much steeper learning curve than just switching from jQuery to React or something like that.
So how do you assess switching to new technologies or adopting new things? What is your thought process on doing that?
I'm curious on your thoughts about this idea, because I have a total agreement, fewer dependencies the better, but at the same time, some dependencies are like, it's better to have a community building and identifying bugs and
resolving features like what are your thoughts on that like how do you gauge like whether or not like community support around a certain feature set or technology or gem is like worth it uh over building it yourself yeah i mean for a start i suppose you have to have to look at the activity on it don't you if it's an active gem then
At least you're not someone like ThoughtBot that has like all of their clients using their thing and that they now have abandoned and upgrade everybody and worry about that. But I'm curious, like, so let's take a look at the dependency, like, aspect of things. Like, do you ever look at Rails as, like, do I need Rails, like, kind of thing?
Because one thing I... I've been to a lot of, like, you know, non-US-based or European-based Ruby conferences. It's, like, very much, like, absent in those community Rails. It's, like, not kind of, like, the preferred choice.
Yeah, for like, you know, just Sinatra or like, you know, some other web framework or just like Ruby specific app. Like they're just running Ruby itself. Like, do you ever like think about whether or not like you need, you know, Rails for something new you're building? Like, can this work as a spreadsheet or like, is this better as a command line tool?
Like, do you ever look to other things or is it just like default at this point?
Yeah. Dave is action off too. That's pretty great.
Yeah.
