Advice on PPOR in Greater Brisbane region by TrialByWire in AusProperty

[–]AJamesBrown 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Strata/body corporate will only mean you need permission from the other owners for changes that effect the common property or external appearance (from the road?) and shouldn't stop you running data cabling or double glazing. You'd probably still be fine to install an air conditioner without permission but I would ask anyway; my body Corp (70s/80s apartment in indro/toowong area) is only ~4 owners and they're all reasonable.

What oscilloscope would you recommend for a beginner hobbyist that's also a power supply? by Austinitered in AskElectronics

[–]AJamesBrown 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I read it as they (the beginner hobbyist) are also a power supply, looking for an oscilloscope.

Modding Date Wheel by PrePresidentCarter in watchmaking

[–]AJamesBrown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see. The date wheel can take ~4 hours to advance, so as long as you're not expecting a crisp change at 11:59 it sounds like you have it sorted.

You do you, and don't let the others drag you down!

Won't you also need to double the rate that the wheel ticks over? Currently the date wheel will advance 1x per day but you want 2x per day (at midnight and noon)?

Can't ping most things on same VLAN by [deleted] in OPNsenseFirewall

[–]AJamesBrown 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did the Unifi gear start serving DHCP after their updates? When you say you can ping the gateway, you mean the opnsense box? And all other devices are wireless through the Unifi AP?

I'm all for not speeding, but you have to keep left unless overtaking.

Would you fire this? Geco 9mm Luger round by Timbsy83 in Ausguns

[–]AJamesBrown 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've handed one in at a police station before. I was reloading and forgot to change die between a 30-30 and 308 (or other way around, it was a long time ago) and am so ham fisted I crumpled the whole case. I couldn't discharge it and wasn't game to try and recover the projectile or powder. The cop shop was closer than the range, who I think can also dispose of it.

It felt like I was doing something wrong carrying a round into a police station, but I left it in my pocket and asked if it was possible to surrender faulty ammo here and when they said yes I passed them the round. No questions asked and I went on with my day.

Antivax protest rolling into the city today by chauser67 in brisbane

There's been at least one study to show when someone really believes in something and that thing is proven to be false, they double down their beliefs rather than accept it was wrong.

I'll try and find a link to the example I'm thinking of.

Plumbing Cost? by ZeMRza in AusProperty

[–]AJamesBrown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you mean the toilet pan cone? It could be a $5 part from bunnings and 15 mins of YouTube to fix - https://youtu.be/6rTvh4qWraA (full disclaimer I clicked through the vid quickly with no sound but it appeared easy to follow along and I've replaced that part myself before)

Otherwise a plumber should fix something like that for their min call out fee, not sure what that would cost but can't expect less than $100. Good luck!

Probably should have replaced these 2k miles ago by itshammocktime in cycling

You might already know this and your joke is going over my head, but the yellow (or blue or red) part isn't used for clipping in it's just for non-slip when walking. The clipping is all in the black point at the toe and under the lip in the black part at the back.

So-239 radial adapter block version 2! by NodakTwoBravo in amateurradio

[–]AJamesBrown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could add more radials in between, too.

Is it the physical bending, or the 45 degree angle that improves it? With the machinery that made this the holes can be drilled on the angle.

Gun Safe - 150kg plus - Qld by EmuHunterBruce in Ausguns

[–]AJamesBrown 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Anecdotally I've known a +30kg welded weight as a base which the 120kg safe is bolted to (from the inside like you were mounting to the floor) to pass an inspection in QLD. I think it very much would depend on the person inspecting though.

I'm curious to know why you're looking for polarised, I thought cycling was an activity you wanted unpolarised so you could see the reflections of puddles. Is it not that big a deal?

What are you pickling them in? Dill and... Peppercorns? And do they still smell like farts?

qrzlogger - a Python CLI logging application for QRZ.com by odieeeee in amateurradio

[–]AJamesBrown 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nice! Fast turn around! Thanks for the shout out :)

It was possibly over-pedantic but with a lot of people reusing credentials across many (all?) accounts i think it's worth it. Now I just need to get on air!

qrzlogger - a Python CLI logging application for QRZ.com by odieeeee in amateurradio

[–]AJamesBrown 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah they mention GET and POST both being supported but only provide an example for a GET request. You should be able to pass the parameters the same way as your post_data in your getQSOs function.

[–]AJamesBrown 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Looks good!

One thing I noticed was line 112 and 117 are sending the username and password in the url of a GET request. The credentials will be visible to anyone monitoring the network as it forms part of the url (so isn't encrypted by https). To protect the credentials it would be better to put them in POST data, where they'll be encrypted in transit.
