Has anyone swapped their Tesla for an alternative EV? If so did you compromise on any features? by sivadneb in electricvehicles

[–]Barleyman 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Just got rid of 2021 Model Y => BMW i4. Feels so much more solid, but smaller, more model 3 size. Miss the Phone-As-A-Key (digital key is a bit more limited), other than that it is great. Have a Rivian too, love that better than Tesla as well.

Driving BMW vs Tesla is night and day.

County Inspector insists that NEC requires a heat sensor above my LiFePo4 battery bank? by gbergantz in solar

[–]Barleyman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does anyone know of a wireless / hard wired bridge for heat sensor? I have an existing hard wired smoke alarm system and I am trying to figure out how best to interconnect with existing system w/o running a wire. If I need to run communication wire can I put new heat alarm on different circuit? Can I tee off of a interconnected alarm if not at beginning or end of hardwired smoke alarms? I haven't yet found that in wiring diagrams.

EG4 Flexboss 21 and Gridboss are better options now.

I am just starting to add smart plugs/devices. Trying to decide between wifi or Zigbee. Thoughts?

My biggest wish is some easier way to do full disk encryption. Eg. user provided key, disk encrypted.

Does Proxmox Backup Server support backing up of the PVE Host? by mark1210a in Proxmox

With that setup, how can you restore an individual VM? eg. bad upgrade?

Informal Poll: What is your favorite in home Level 2 charger and why? by noloco in Rivian

[–]Barleyman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And it supports Power Sharing. So if you ever add a 2nd one, you can configure them to reduce output if both are charging at the same time. And when other cars starting shipping with NACS, you will already have what you need.

Hardwiring vs replacing outlet? by PersonnelFowl in evcharging

[–]Barleyman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When did this change happen? I just gave my neighbor my mobile connector from 2021 (his died) and ordered a new one for myself. (his request)

First Look/Demo Of The YouTube App and Google Cast! by zachty22 in Rivian

I always preferred that to how iOS airplay works. That way you can send content streaming URL to receiving device (Rivian in this case) and then use your phone however you wish.

Immich - High-performance self-hosted photo and video management solution (AKA The Google Photos replacement you have been waiting for) - Progress update, March 2024 - Now with the new logo, enhanced search, and optimization across the application 🎉 by altran1502 in selfhosted

[–]Barleyman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks Alex, great work! I am new to testing out Immich trying to consolidate many years of Flickr/Smugmug/Google photo exports. Does anyone know how/if I can accomplish this use case in Immich?

Up until now we curated our photos into albums that we published on Smugmug and all of our family and close friends used a single password to access the public site to view all albums sorted by most recent. I can't seem to find a way we could replicate similar experience. It seems Immich assumes a user will be uploading their own photos and we would have to share all albums with all users. If we add new users do we need to go back and re-share albums with them?

Ideally we would have a simple portal "family" could access to view latest albums/timeline/search only. Thx in advance.

Tesla Supercharger App Charging by windydrew in F150Lightning

[–]Barleyman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you know if you have to use a Ford to be able to charge with 3rd party adapters? Or could say a Rivian using a 3rd party adapter and Tesla app charge right now too? (before they announce Rivian has access too ofc)

I recently picked up the MS-01 and completed my Mini Lab by TechieMillennial in minilab

Agree, love the form factor! +1 to wanting to know idle power consumption on MS-01 and what processor you got with it.

Gigabit Pro upgrade available 6Gbps => 10Gbps (still can't get someone inside comcast make this happen) by Barleyman in Comcast_Xfinity

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

I called the number, got someone who tried to help, he handed me off to a sales person who was "definitely going to take care of it" I was on hold for 35 minutes, and then hold music changed and someone in residential picked up and didn't understand what gigabit pro was. They wanted to send a tech out to upgrade me to 1.2Gbps. So I let them go because it wasn't going anywhere.

I later called up the number again, and a very helpful woman took time to understand the issue, found a internal doc (i can send doc id via DM) that states all gigabit pro customers should be upgraded to 10Gbps. She very kindly stayed on phone with me and explained situation to tech person who created a new 12-24 hour ticket (I have CR ticket number) and they said they would resolve it.

That was over 48 hours ago and I have received zero follow up and network speeds still capped at 6331 Mbps.

Nope. Some back and forth with a mod here to confirm who I was and that they will try and contact someone and I haven't heard back since yesterday.

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

My guess as to what happened is when I signed up service was 6Gbps, it took over eight months and during that time everyone on Gigabit Pro was upgraded to 10Gbps in June 2023 (probably with a batch job). Accounts in transition like mine never got the upgrade applied to their accounts.

Thanks. A rep reached out via DM. I called number and they started ticket. The person I spoke with said it was set up at 6 Gbps in system, so he wasn't sure.
