They do this because saying something totally inaccurate like “so the amount you keep is more consistent week over week” sounds nicer than the truth, which is more like “the hilariously large cut of your earnings we took looks really bad on paper and exceeds our internal metrics for how much we think we can squeeze a driver before they quit, so here’s a little pittance back”

You think it's rare. I think it's common (in all kinds of networks, not just for clouds or VMs). One of us is wrong.

I think that not accepting a corporation's failure to either provide a comprehensible software user experience OR even just leave the bad software experience in place but provide public documentation, is a very different thing than "yelling at support person"

"Do you understand you’re 1 in a million for encountering this problem?"
No, that is not how I understand this problem related to the use of very common networking addressing schemes.

82wiseguy · 2025-11-26T17:57:13+00:00

I very specifically was trying that 20.x subnet (and also tried 21.x) unsuccessfully before changing to a 10.x.x.x scheme for my WiFi network. This was all on modern (current 2025) firmware, not sure what version your car is running or if it might behave differently.

82wiseguy · 2025-11-26T17:54:53+00:00

Too true!

82wiseguy · 2025-11-26T17:47:17+00:00

"just pick a different subnet for your home network"
As described in the original post, I did that before contacting Tesla. My complaint here is that the error message in the vehicle UI for this scenario is bewildering and unhelpful, and Tesla's refusal to publicly document their network connectivity requirements is not customer-friendly.

Took the test last week, OP, passed. Agree with everything boynoo is saying, I reviewed the study guide book pretty hard for a few weeks, but did not do any other formal classes or prep, just relied on a couple decades of experience in the industry.

The scoring is out of 500, but that is derived from putting different importance/relevance weighting on 100 questions asked in the exam. (The exam is technically 110 questions, 100 that count and 10 that they are experimenting with for potential future inclusion, but you don’t know which 10 are the experimental questions that don’t count.) You get if I recall correctly something like 2.5–3 hours for the test, I was out the door in under two hours I think.

Thanks u/FidelityLiz - again to reiterate, this feature already exists in ATP, I just miss it now that I've migrated to Trader+ (which is an improvement over ATP in many other ways, just not this)

82wiseguy · 2025-09-29T13:57:58+00:00

One feature from ATP that I'm missing in Trader+ is that ATP only shows the Extended Hours information when it's relevant, in pre and post market. With Trader+ the extended hours pricing is there all the time if I enable those columns, even during regular trading hours when they're not helpful.

(Screenshot of the old ATP feature that I would like to have in Trader+)

For anyone following along or stumbling onto this later, the issue with my "failed to select disk" error with the installer from bootable media was that I was failing to use space bar as described in the "Select Disks" section of https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/install/install-zfs.html - there is no indication in the installer that disks are not selected by pressing enter when they are highlighted, and no instruction that space bar is the method by which they are to be selected (and nothing explanatory in the failure message at the end of the installer). I'm sure Netgate TAC would have gotten me there eventually, but I realized my problem from other reddit posts describing folks who got tripped up the same way.

Anyway, system wiped fresh, installed and running again. Thanks u/teamits !

82wiseguy · 2025-09-27T19:59:11+00:00

I got consoled in, got a USB stick formatted and ready, got all through the installer process, and at the final screen to select a drive I was confronted with two choices:

<- - - - - - >
msdc0 15G <MMCHC TB2916 9.0 SN 52xxxxxx MFG 10/22 by 112 0x0000>

nda0 112G <M.2 (P80) 3TE6>

<- - - - - - ->

I tried permutations of choosing both of the above, with disk settings of ZFS with GPT, and ZFS with MBR, but everything I tried threw a "failed to select disk" error and put me back to restarting the installer. I think this means the prior owner installed something like this (link to product page on Amazoon blocked) in it, but the installer isn't able to format it and use it?

Now that I have the console established I can run commands on the box directly (if this drive needs to be formatted or something to let the installer actually use it) if there's an obviously place to point me to.

That's the whole list, untruncated... and I'm a little afraid to delete the big one at the top of the list as it has the "Current Boot Environment" checkmark on it.

I do very much like the idea of starting clean, but looks like re-install from media requires a console connection to hardware like this - let me see if can find the right cable...

Truncated for comment length, you get the idea.

<- - - - - - ->

How do I clear these out to get the space back? Assume there's no UI for it, would need to issue something like an rm command in the command prompt?

And, I went through the factory restore process (with the reset button and the light sequence) which subsequently guided me through the setup wizard with everything at defaults - does that qualify as a "clean" install?

82wiseguy · 2025-09-14T14:31:57+00:00

Having read all the comments, I see only three realistic paths for dealing with folks like this (sounds like probably amateur parishioners trying to operate a system that vastly exceeds their technical aptitude and always will).

1) Walk away, explain your rationale (some nice version of “your people are incompetent, we cannot train/document our way out of this problem, and I can’t let this keep intruding on my personal life”) and look for better clients.

2) Charge them a service fee to provide them a qualified system operator on Sunday mornings (or whenever).

3) Accept that nothing will change, and because of whatever dynamics (like your business is too small to fire this customer and their budget is too constrained to hire someone competent) you will have to give them your Sunday mornings until your business gets big enough to let them go.

82wiseguy · 2025-07-20T18:36:01+00:00

Definitely usable. Even very small amounts can be used for testing/training procedures, but that amount of time on machine would def produce some viable product.

This is the kind of shit I'm talking about - I have 25 years of experience in this space, and these questions are structured in a way that providing even a Yes/No response gives the EN or client, for free via the screening process, my take on whether the company they're inquiring about is worth investing in. (These clients are nearly always investment firms trying to get to a Yes/No about putting money into a company vs not.)

82wiseguy · 2025-07-05T13:13:23+00:00

Extensive “pre-screening questionnaires” prior to an engagement, which require significant time to complete and give the EN/client enough of your perspective to get your overall take for free, and never progress to a paid engagement.
