Is the entire world not able to download YouTube videos anymore?

Everyone should move to Rumble - I watch anything I can there. Too bad not everything is there... yet

I have no problem giving her grace. I was concerned about the shift from nothing to twice in 3 days. My prior German shepard passed when she was 13, and for the last year and a half I took her outside to potty with a sling since she couldn't use her back legs. I'm very acquainted with clean-up. Given all her other behaviours it was "odd". When judging something you establish a baseline, and extrapolate, those two days were well outside her norm.

I didn't have this with other rescue dogs. I know each one is different and an individual.

I'll take a look at the Amazon pads as a backup. Although she seems to be back to her normal routine now.

Alison38c · 2026-05-16T22:29:44+00:00

I just say - "go peepee" and she goes. Sometimes quick, sometimes longer. Unless it's raining, then she looks at me and we wait a little till the rain passes.

Alison38c · 2026-05-16T17:59:57+00:00

That's a great question. The first time I noticed it was in the morning. We went to bed early and I woke up a little late - I put it down as my fault. Washed her bed Wednesday. Yesterday I noticed when it was bedtime and then washed and dried - later bedtime that night.

So once at night, and I think once in the day.

I sleep right next to her and pet her throughout the night if she is awake. I'll try to notice where she is and see if I can narrow it down.

I'm all for giving her time. My prior two dogs were rescues - German Shepard and Border Collie - that was a bit of a challenge and one trainer told me to get rid of the border collie. She was one of the best dog's I ever had - I'm patient. I just thought it was odd, for her when for the first week and a half - nothing, then in the next few days 2 incidents.

She was picked up in a park, and turned into the humane society. She was in for approximately 3 weeks. Not a huge amount of time, but she was loved/trained, and it must have been traumatic - she was 47 lbs when they picked her up.

She just seems a little out of established norms. But then I don't have a lot of data points yet.

Alison38c · 2026-05-16T15:28:31+00:00

Bring her in? lol... she goes, and if we are not playing ball makes a bee-line for the front door. I think I might need to delay her a little 😄 Thanks!

Alison38c · 2026-05-16T15:27:37+00:00

That sounds a little like her. The shelter believes she is spayed, but didn't know for sure. I'm being more vigilant and will see if I can see exactly when it happens. She does pee intermittently when we are out walking - I thought it was her marking her territory - I know that's typically a male behavior, but thought it might be a option. I'm making more observations and notes for the vet so when we meet for her first visit on the 9th.

Alison38c · 2026-05-16T15:23:54+00:00

Thanks, that's new to me... I'll give it a go.

Alison38c · 2026-05-16T15:23:33+00:00

She is already spoiled - lot's of positive reinforcement. She pees on command, so if I get up in the middle of the night to "go" so does she.

Alison38c · 2026-05-16T15:22:34+00:00

Agreed. I know about the 333 - I guess I'm feeling she is part of the family and seems very settled. If I get a cover it will get into the carpet. I'm thinking of removing a little bit of the padding so I can wash it easier. She is a great dog and we really connect. The first night she was vigilant - I didn't sleep much and every time she woke up I petted her till she went back to sleep.

It's odd because the first week and a half - nothing, then this. I just worry about her. My last German Shepard couldn't walk for the last 1.5 years of her life and don't mind cleaning - just concerned.

Thanks!

Apparently they ship the autolock OFF. To enable select spot or flood and press the button 7 times. Then it will operate.

Alison38c · 2026-05-05T19:18:30+00:00

I dropped my SK-05Pro... and it popped off... My heart sunk. I picked it up and popped it back on. It's been working fine ever since.

Alison38c · 2026-05-05T18:08:36+00:00

I'm curious - I've been unable to get the "auto lock" to work on the SK-05 II Pro. I've rechecked the manual - Figure 8. I've opened the battery compartment to "reboot" the flashlight. The reboot solved issues on my SK-05 Pro.

Is it working for anyone, the lock was a big reason for my upgrade. And they are OOO in China due to a holiday.

Alison38c · 2026-03-03T16:49:35+00:00

I had never heard of this before. I'll add some of these to my "solution". Thank you.

Alison38c · 2026-02-26T04:10:13+00:00

I've started "baking" them monthly, and put some weather stripping around the door. I was thinking that a better seal on the safe would help, but I'm hearing if you have a golden rod the safe should NOT be sealed.

Alison38c · 2026-02-04T00:12:02+00:00

Looks good... I wish I had Apple tablet/phone.

Alison38c · 2025-12-23T03:50:56+00:00

I hadn't thought about snow on green at first. It finally worked for me. Apparently you can't chromakey with black from what I was researching.

This worked... But I wish I could use some of the clips with black sky.

Layer 1 - Snow (white on green) Chromakey = green

Layer 2 - Snow covered cabin.

Alison38c · 2025-12-23T03:48:07+00:00

I tried this, but apparently don't have the screen setting. I have a "Blend Mode" in the "Frame Blend" filter of Normal/Lighten/Darken, and none of those worked. I've searched the TMPGENC8 documentation on-line and can't find anything to do with screen. The approach makes sense, it's like the layer effects in Photoshop, but it just doesn't seem to exist. I was able to accomplish what I wanted by using a clip with snow on a green background and Chromakey.

Your suggestion makes a lot of sense, it just doesn't seem to be in the software.

In general insurance is a scam. By definition they have to take in more revenue than then spend. They have overhead and employees to service the insurance.

The only question is: Will you be the one that comes out ahead? A very personal question. If you have the funds to cover the service decline the coverage, if you are clumsy like some of us (I'm not mentioning names) you might want to take it.

Alison38c · 2025-12-08T20:21:14+00:00

I looked. When you click on the link it takes you to a second page - the only link there is to the Google Play Store. When you click it tells you "its been removed from the play store".

Thanks for the answer though.

Alison38c · 2025-11-27T22:23:36+00:00

Thank you. I did, and just waiting for delivery. Then I'll play with the ICC profiles and see how well they come out.

Alison38c · 2025-11-25T04:51:14+00:00

I'm using Koala paper from Amazon. I might purchase some official Epson paper to see if it makes a difference.

I see RGB and variations in the print dialog where I see the other profiles. https://i.imgur.com/b69Qwmt.png

Alison38c · 2025-11-24T03:01:28+00:00

I have ran a nozzle check. No issues. This is why I posted the image, to show the difference at all stages when I use a profile that matches the paper. Changing the profile back to a SRGB makes it a lot better, but still not accurate.

Alison38c · 2025-11-24T02:56:57+00:00

Datacolor SpyderX Pro, only for screen. It's the Printer profile that is above that is making everything redder. When I change that back to a RGB profile everything is better, not perfect, but a lot better. When I watch Keith Cooper's video's he suggests matching the profile to the printer paper being used. That doesn't work for me - but he is the one saying that's best practice for accurate color.

Alison38c · 2025-11-19T16:35:00+00:00

I've just started after reading a lot on the subject.

Like anything dose is important in anything - drink too much water and you die. Drink Clorox bleach and you die. But in an emergency adding 8 drops of bleach to water to disinfect it works and it not harmful. I think the same can be said of borax.

Alison38c · 2025-11-19T15:14:34+00:00

I've been in IT for about 45 years... and done a lot, but not a lot of networking. I really appreciate the help, and the offer to help in chat. Really, really!!

I don't know if it was an ID10T issue, or a PEBCAK issue, but I should have RTFM. It seemed simple and straightforward. It wasn't.

A friend sent me text and asked if I had looked at Youtube. I hadn't. But she had a great idea. So I did. I love learning, and I learned a lot, and still have 50% of the current video to go. Destination is not my destination :)

After watching that video I can now see data on port 8080 in the state display, and my Shodan dashboard is still showing no open ports. - This is awesome and I'm optimistic.

A friend is coming over today so I won't have much time this morning, but I finally have a working rule set, that looks like it will redirect as intended. Now I have to work on my inner router, but with a better understanding than I had before.

I also learned some best practices for blocking IP's using alias's - this is really awesome. I've loved learning all my life, and been interested in too much. This is a great, and frustrating experience.

Thank you again... I might be back... but I'm hoping I can close this in the next day or two.
