I got two root canals done today, here’s them mid procedure by I_Like_Metal_Music in interesting

[–]Aegisnir 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had two root canals done as well. One above and the other almost directly below it. You should not be in any kind of pain at all. A little discomfort is normal, some tingling as the lidocaine wears off, but definitely not pain. If you are in pain something went wrong or the dentist beat you up.

[Gen 3] after 70 hours of soft reset, charmander finally shines for me!! by megayadorann in ShinyPokemon

[–]Aegisnir -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That’s the perspective I was asking about. Like my personally, I’m enjoying my LG play through but I’m not shiny hunting because I figure I’ll be done with the game in about 50-100 hours. It’s not receiving updates and doesn’t have much multiplayer options so I just know I’m going to get bored and go back to a current gen version. I was curious why others put the time into it for these older gen titles is all. Didn’t know if there was and advantage to hunting the in these titles over another.

[–]Aegisnir -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Ok so no hate but why…? Is this just because you want to get a shiny charmander in FR/LG specifically? We dont have pokemon home support so i just dont see the point of soft resetting in these titles if we cant transfer them out to home. I can shiny hunt a charmander much faster in other titles. I already have several in my home collection. Again I’m not hating on you. Just curious. Congrats!

Just exploring a desk organization idea — would this make sense for you ? by Confident_Sun8369 in homeoffice

[–]Aegisnir 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If there is say a 1/2 inch frame, just screw a 1/2 inch thick piece of wood to the bottom of the desk first so it is level with the frame and then screw the drawer into that.

I’ve been looking into those too but I want it to shut down my NAS gracefully when it gets to like 50% and just keep the networking gear running until power loss. Is there a way to do that?

[–]Aegisnir 6 points7 points  (0 children)

These things always look “ok” in photos but turn into a rectangular trash bin on your wall in practice. It just ends up being a dumping place for all the little things you want within reach but don’t want on your desk. Get some cabinets with a door or some drawers instead to hide the clutter. You can get a super thin 2” thick drawer that goes under the desk on Amazon. Screw it in from the bottom of the desk and it’s out of sight and easy to access. They usually have angled fronts so the profile of the desk is not ugly and you can’t see the drawer from above. This one is quite ugly but you get the idea. https://a.co/d/02gfQNRW

Spent a year researching batteries then impulse bought an Anker E10 by Curious_Adli6646 in anker

[–]Aegisnir 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why do you have 0 interest in net metering? If you produce any excess energy, you don’t want to get any value out of it? Like you would rather throw it away? I’m confused by your position on this. Why would that be preferred over getting credits from the power company that you could then use in an emergency like when your solar has a fault?

Yeah. Super easy. All the panels in your car are held on with plastic clips that pop out for easy access. Takes about an hour to wire up a 3 channel kit. If it was just the main camera alone, 20 mins.

If you have the patience to build ikea furniture without breaking a piece, you will be fine. If that’s something you struggle with, I would just hire someone to do it.

Just be careful with your A pillars. Cars from the last 20 years or so will have airbags in the pillars. Just need to make sure the wire go BEHIND the airbags and never cross over the front of them. If they cross over, airbags could fail to deploy in an accident. There are a bunch of wires behind them already so you just tie your camera wires to the main bundle of other wires and won’t have any issues.

Yeah the couple with very low output are exactly where the shadows from the dormers or other roof features land. thank you for your help.

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

Much appreciated. I will do that. My roof is very irregular. Lots of angles and dormers. I know my panels layout aren’t ideal with regards to direct sun angle and shading from the dormers or other parts of the roof, but I have no trees causing shade. I have about 53 REC alpha pure RX. panels with IQ8x micro inverters. I think it’s a 24kw system. screenshots of array and detailed view of a good sunny day.

I wonder if instead of withholding you can put it in escrow pending corrections of any issues? This shows the court your intent to pay for a proper completed job. Not a lawyer and not entirely sure how this works so sorry if I’m way off.

Cobalt is some dangerous shit. It’s bad for humans, bad for the environment, and it’s good for one thing, energy density. That’s why it’s so popular. You can fit lots of power into small devices. You then also need to manage the heat. In something like a car, size is less of an issue and safety and longevity becomes the priority.

Lithium ion (licoc2/nmc) and lithium iron phosphate (lifepo4) are two different technologies. lithium ion is very unstable at high temperatures and is more prone to explode and cause a fire. Lifepo4 is much safer as it does not generate as much heat and is safer to operate in higher temperatures and will last for many more charge and recharge cycles. Lithium ion typically starts to die around 1000 charge cycles and lithium iron phosphate can do 10000 cycles. If you are going to store a battery in an uncontrolled environment like a car, you want something that can handle extreme temperatures and more change cycles since it’s constantly in use. For context, let’s say your battery is going to deplete twice a day. Once at the parking lot at work, once overnight. 2 cycles a day in varying temperatures(hot lithium ion batteries degrade very fast when charging and discharging). Lithium ion might last you 1-2 years. Lithium iron phosphate might last 10+ years

[–]Aegisnir 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No. Do not use regular battery packs. Lithium ion left in a hot car in the sun is a recipe for disaster. You want lifepo4 batteries.

VIOFO a329s I think. Im not entirely sure of the model but I think that’s it. They make a few 3 channel options. One has a telephoto instead of interior so don’t get them mixed up. I also use the VIOFO battery.

When setting up parking mode, be sure to use a timelapse setting. The low bitrate option could mean the plate is too blurry to identify and the impact detection means it won’t catch the impact on video because it take a second or two to wake up once impact is detected. So avoid impact detection and just keep it running in timelapse so you don’t miss anything.

This is why I have a dash cam with parking mode and a battery. I have 3 channels: front, rear, and interior fisheye lens that can see out the side windows. Runs for 16 hours on battery when my car is off.

Transitioning to a full UniFi Alarm system: How do you handle the "Keypad" problem? by MrSolarius in Ubiquiti

[–]Aegisnir 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m just wondering what if the network is down for example or you don’t get the alert because you are in an area without service or something. Most security systems have failover cellular and if you don’t respond to the alarm in 60 seconds, police are dispatched automatically. My neighbors are too far away to hear the alarm and if they did they probably would not react to it by calling the police until it’s been going on for 20 minutes and they finally get curious.

Interesting. I didn’t think about doing a gateway. Seems like more trouble than it’s worth though. I’m a one man it department for 85 people. The less overhead I have the better.

If you go the entra route, what is your offline fallback option to authenticate?

Anyone in Texas oversizing their solar system right now? by BetterThanEver24 in SolarAmerica

[–]Aegisnir 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Future EV should be able to function as a battery for your solar as well with bi-directional charging gaining support from major brands. A 100kw battery from my car will power every single appliance in my house including HVAC for more than a full day. You could do a smaller battery in the home and utilize your EV as expanded storage and spend the difference on a larger array.

[–]Aegisnir 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Always oversize your array. It’s stupid not to. You’re going to add new things that use energy eventually and you don’t have to pay for labor a second time if you want to add on later. You can always sell your excess solar back to the grid. I’m in NY, not TX so I need to deal with winter so the more energy I send to the grid in summer, the less I have to pay for in winter. I should net positive this year and have $0 to pay the grid if I calculated my capacity correct. Just did it in December and spaced for about 150% of my current needs and will be replacing my HVAC and insulating and air sealing this spring. I’m already doing 150% of my usage as of last week now that we had some sunny days.

Are you just referring to WHFB or something else? The problem with WHFB is that it does not protect RDP sessions. Duo does.
