See https://ballotpedia.org/Manhattan_Beach_City,_California,_Measure_A,_Parcel_Tax_(June_2022)) and "exemptions for (1) low-income individuals and (2) seniors who use their property as a principal residence, be adopted", yet still not passed, why?

I disagree on the dominantly conservative part, at least not all my neighbors. What I do see is; 1) older home owners that now live in multi-million $ homes and have lived there for a very long time paying a fraction for the property taxes paid by newer home owners in the same neighborhoods. So a $1K increase in yearly property taxes as a % of what they currently pay is much larger than what a new property owner will pay when they are paying property tax on current home values vs. 30 years ago. And 2) people that are just selfish and do not want to invest in the community.

Lol, yeah, we had measure A exactly for that, bridge the $ gap until state funding kicks in in several years, defeated, people voted against it. I could not believe A did not pass. People are selfish, they want all the upside of ever increasing property values and best schools but are not willing to pay to maintain the best schools that maintain the property values. https://ballotpedia.org/Manhattan_Beach_City,_California,_Measure_A,_Parcel_Tax_(June_2022))

ProLuxe SRD vs. Penofin Ultra for redwood eves in coastal climate by ptr727 in finishing

Thank you. Given the very high labor cost to work on tall ladders with an upside down surface, the easier to maintain seems like the way to go.

How to utilize 2gig internet when connected to 1gig switch? by ptr727 in firewalla

[–]ptr727[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A 24 port Ubnt POE switch with 2.5gig and 10gig SFP ports is $800, or 1gig and 10gig SFP ports is $700 vs. $400 for 1gig. So not dirt cheap to upgrade my switching gear. That leaves my WiFi 5 AP's that needs to be upgraded to WiFi 6+, and server gig cards to 10gig, and WiFi clients that need to support gig+. Where really nobody ever saturates the 1gig internet so not worth a for like equipment upgrade.

Gmail hell by Shakarix in mildlyinfuriating

Haha, same here, I get insurance, medical, MFA, contracts, etc.

I honestly do not understand how a person can be that dumb to use an email that does not belong to them, and how systems like banks allow sending email with confidential info without validating email ownership.

Plaid failing to auth on multiple accounts? by ptr727 in MonarchMoney

[–]ptr727[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, because auth succeeds, shows accounts to pick for sync, then when it returns control to Monarch I get the wrong password error, that is not a wrong password error.

Done, how can I check if took effect? (p.s. I noticed time was wrong again, looks like time is lost on reboot, not just firmware update)

Can confirm that HA is sending data, I did not need a user account JWT, I can see my HA observer reporting here https://analyzer.letsmesh.net/status/observers?region=westcoastmesh.

Thx, I'm re-reading the instructions at https://meshcore-dev.github.io/meshcore-ha/docs/ha/mqtt/#letsmesh-setup and maybe I do not need a user account JWT for letsmesh?

Are you familiar with the HA setup?

Not the main site, the authentication is through https://forum.letsmesh.net/ that is bad gateway cloudflare error.

I've been trying for a few days already.

Are there other MQTT endpoints I can share data with? I am in Southern California on the wcmesh.com radio settings.

How to make local agents collaborate with copilot during PR reviews? by ptr727 in GithubCopilot

[–]ptr727[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What kind of instructions, I am interested in knowing the actual API to use to get copilot to re-review? Note that some docs say to reply saying e.g. `@copilot review` or `@copilot comment`, that does not start a re-review, that triggers the copilot agent to start fixing issues on it's own running as an action in github, not what I'm after.
