• Failed to connect to the host via SSH on Ubuntu 22.04

  If you have just upgraded to Ubuntu 22.04, and you suddenly experience either errors when trying to ssh into hosts, or when running ansible or again when running the ansible provisioner building a packer image, this is probably going to be useful for you. - Source: dev.to / over 1 year ago

• Create a minimalist OS using Docker Containers and Hashicorp Packer

  I am already using Hashicorp Packer at work and for personal projects and I wanted to test This idea out by wrapping it a single Packer Template file. This reduces the level of maintaining a lot of small scripts, Dockerfiles and configurations and the user can simply trigger a couple of Commands to get a minimalist OS at the end of the process. - Source: dev.to / almost 2 years ago

• After self-hosting my email for twenty-three years I have thrown in the towel. The oligopoly has won.

  And while it is a slight increase in complexity, it can be an overall net gain in functionality, configurability and reliability. Much like Packer is far more reliable and practical than manually making VM images sitting in front of a terminal, even though making the initial configuration takes some time.

• Customized Ubuntu Images using Packer + QEMU + Cloud-Init & UEFI bootloading

  Hashicorp Packer provides a nice wrapper / abstraction over the QEMU in order to boot the image and use it to set it up on first-boot. Instead of writing really long commands in order to boot up the image using QEMU, Packer provided a nice Configuration Template in a more Readable fashion. - Source: dev.to / almost 2 years ago

• The journey of sharing a wired USB printer over the network

  Packer seemed like the perfect tool for the job. I have never used it before and wanted to get familiar with the tool. It doesn't come with ARM support out of the box, but there are two community projects to fill that niche. - Source: dev.to / over 2 years ago

• Afraid of outgrowing AWS Rekognition? Try YOLO in Lambda.

  AWS Rekognition is a great choice for many types of real-world projects or just for testing an idea on your images. The issue eventually comes with its cost, unfortunately, which we will see later in a specific example. Don’t get me wrong, Rekognition is a great service and I love to use it for its simplicity and reliable performance on quite a few projects. - Source: dev.to / 3 months ago

• Amazon Rekognition Custom Labels for Bears

  I don’t really want to spend so much time manually adjusting labels. For most machine learning, the next step would be to fine tune your model. You can essentially fine tune Amazon Rekognition by using Custom Labels. You can do this to make it better at detecting specific objects (like bears) or train it to detect new objects like your product or logo. It really depends on your application needs. - Source: dev.to / 12 months ago

• “During a gold rush, sell shovels.” What are the shovels in the AI rush?

  For instance, are you a company with lots of security cameras? Hire me to write a program that pipes your data into AWS rekognition and then shows you a dashboard of what happened on your cams today. Got a ton of products with no meta-description? Hire me to write a program that pipes your data into OpenAI, and then saves the generated description to your custom CMS. Source: 12 months ago

• Serverless Facial Recognition Voting Application Using AWS Services

  Amazon Rekognition: Used to index, detect faces in the picture, and compare faces when users try voting, it was the heart of the facial voting feature. - Source: dev.to / about 1 year ago

• Amazon Prime Video playback features

  Sure. But if you think generating thumbnails and detecting intros/credits takes a long time, wait until your computer is running machine learning/computer vision over your entire library. They also have to build and train that model which is no trivial task. And I know what you're thinking, why don't they just use Amazon's Rekognition service that does celebrity identification? Well, it's $0.10 per minute of... Source: over 1 year ago
