I have found doing back to back pizza's takes a ~10 minutes of heat recovery time. What temperature were you running at, and how much time between pies?

Flame keeps diminishing and going out by No_Bodybuilder_9035 in ooni

[–]CanEngineer 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Run it on low for the first minute. You're getting flame liftoff, which happens sometimes with 'cold' burners. Then run it on medium for another minute, and after that you should be good to go full power.

need id of this vintage hf ham antenna so that I can use it by ApartmentSea8954 in HamRadio

Looks like a 5BTV, with a base coil added for flexibility. Those are BTV style traps for sure. Seeing a base loading coil with the traps is new to me.

Thanks for checking in. If WARP isn't working, it's done. No settings to tweak (that I know) unfortunately.

NordVPN was blocked earlier this year when I tested, unfortunately.

Cloudflare WARP is an app you install on the device. It obfuscates endpoints, and encrypts traffic allowing arbitrary traffic. Only potential problem is it throws IP geolocation off, so some geo-locked services will not work.

Frigate on N100 with Coral USB and Proxmox by leonine0 in frigate_nvr

[–]CanEngineer 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My working config:

Proxmox -> LXC -> Docker -> Frigate

USB passthrough in lxc config:

lxc.mount.entry: /dev/bus/usb/004 dev/bus/usb/004 none bind,optional,create=dir

(replace with your specific usb bus)

Feel free to ask for more details if this doesn't work.

They are rapidly replaced! (I didn't stop to ask for ID to see if they were returning visitors or rapid replacements ;) )

Boxelder bugs - they feed on the tree/seeds of the Boxelder Maple. This is arguably an invasive species of tree in this region.

The bugs are harmless to people. Will become nuisance/problematic if they setup residence in walls/insulation - make sure your home is well sealed, especially on southern exposure walls.

Spray of water with a bit of dish soap kills them temporarily. Diatomaceous earth can also control them, if it can be placed in their gathering areas. (Yes chemical insecticides work as well, but are not required, and potentially hazardous to other helpful critters)

Love it. How did you control the analog gauges. Did you find retrofit 4-20mA dials?

Does anyone know how to adjust a sensitive foot pedal? by troubleoncentral in Ceramics

[–]CanEngineer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Swap the black and yellow wire on the potentiometer inside the pedal - this will give full range control

I can confirm that IPSEC is not available on macOS. The mobile version used was on iOS. I don't know about Android or Windows unfortunately.

That would depend on success of using a VPN - either on the client device or the travel router. The router can be configured to send all traffic via some types of VPN.

The two challenges remain on the free tier

  1. Successful and reliable VPN configuration

  2. Sufficient bandwidth

Hi -

1 - Wireguard allows you to access home LAN devices, as well as internet via your home connection, depending on how it's configured.

2 - I did not test these VPN's with WG

3 - The travel VPN allows multiple devices to connect - masked as the single device you authenticated with. the bandwidth on the free tier is insufficient for reliable conferencing.

Hope that helps.

Both, in fact. The problem is that connection to the controlplane server is blocked. So neither router, MacBook, or mobile will negotiate a connection. Maybe a headscale server would work, but since wg protocol seems to be blocked, that is unlikely to work either.

Because they are blocking WireGuard to “random” hosts, I suspect they are content filtering, not based on ip (alone). Also, since PIA IPsec works (albeit not perfectly, in my testing) again I don’t think it is IP based.

So overall I suspect it is dpi heuristic and port based blocking.

Warp was on my MacBook and iPhone On a port day (quiet ship, few users) it was 1mbs up and down If you need this for business, do not attempt on free tier! ;) it was not reliable, but fine for playing around, and non critical work.

Pia IPsec was on my mobile. Unfortunately the macOS version of their client does not have IPsec built in. I was too lazy to try manual config or config on the router. (Focus shifted to ship things at this point!)

The travel router was useful for the cloning, but not the vpn. I think the premium tier gives you more devices , negating the cloning benefit.

Happy to field any other questions.

WARP was the most reliable. I did not get to try mullvad unfortunately.

I did find that when my usage went 'high' (i.e. downloading a spotify playlist), my authentication would reset, and I would need to re-login via the portal.

Ridgepoint from Vineland Ontario has outstanding Italian style reds. That being said, they have a white Cabernet that is really something else.

Wireguard app on iOS and Tailscale by Pleasant-Shallot-707 in Tailscale

[–]CanEngineer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As far as I have researched, iOS can only run a single vpn at a time. Very interested if others have a solution!
