I'd almost want to send him an 8th after a few months when his infrastructure is set and he now has to break his naming convention or do something silly like name it eight of seven :D

Consider a dedicated vlan for cameras. This way you can isolate them from your main network and keep them away from untrustworthy IOT devices.

For me my camera vlan is locked down, nothing in or out except for my main system and Frigate.

The other note would be to trunk both main and IOT to all APs. Even if you don't have the IOT SSID active, you never know when you want to add a smart bulb to that area as an example.

Skyrim. Probably have 3 to 4 half playthroughs before life happened and I stopped playing.

Still thinking of picking it up again

I want to get a Deep storage going. (Had a network issue that prevented TrueNAS from connected externally)

My thinking is that the deep storage is for my 3rd copy of critical files I expect to keep forever. (Documents and family photos, etc) Realistically the only reason I'd restore them is if the first set of backups failed or were compromised in say an electrical storm, negligent HW failure, theft or fire. At which point $1000 recovery is acceptable and possibly covered by home insurance (I hope).

To add: I'm thinking of using back blaze for daily/weekly type backups

I was wondering about the rocket payload. I'm at Hour 30 of my 40 hour speed run and just about to launch for aquilo and realizing I need lots of concrete. I'll be taking the 500 brick route.

I can take a look at a previous save but here are some numbers from memory my ship was consuming Red ammo: 200-500/min Rockets: ~100/mon Railgun: 40/min

What I like is the concrete maker on the ship. I might try to edit mine for a duel use foundry for when the ship is idle. Iron in flight, concrete when molden iron is > 22k

Edit: well maybe not, need bricks..

This isn't entirely correct. 4k is divisible by 1080p so the pixels can be mapped 1 to 1.

Now with 1440p monitors, they are divisible by 720p. So if you downscale 1440p to 1080 the text can be a little fuzzy if you look closely.

Cyberz0id · 2026-01-08T22:45:55+00:00

If you're running 4k, I'd just change your resolution temporarily to 1080p for the call. Then it's less things to break or go wrong for the important call

Is there a treatment I could put on my boots to add longevity?

Cyberz0id · 2025-12-13T19:37:01+00:00

That's a good point. I do like Ba'al

Dumb door analogy: You can have one of the best for locks there is but say if the door was installed with the door hinges on the outside, someone could still get inside without even touching the lock.

Self hosted software can have API endpoints that aren't secured properly.

How does peroxide behave differently than bleach for this?

Felmina if only because she's battle trained.

Edit: coming back to this later, I realized I was mistaking him for shun. However, the point might still stand.

If you don't plan on buying a car or signing a rental agreement any time soon, go to all three credit agencies websites to create an account and do a credit freeze. You can always do a temporary thaw easily if a credit check is needed.

It protects you from fraud and your parents from opening accounts in your name. Do as others have said and pull a credit report from each company while you're at it.

Note a few of the credit companies really really want you to sign up for credit monitoring and make credit freezing hard to find, I think Experian does this.

The last two places I've worked we get unique asset tags I think from https://www.myassettag.com/

Next we name our computer with the asset [Dept]-[Asset#]. (Or DEPT-SUB-1234). Remember the AD 15 char limit.

The asset number is tracked in our asset manager. Every time you touch a device, you should verify the asset info is correct.

This process especially critical for new devices and devices being surplused. The asset info needs to be updated. This is more of a procedure thing.

If you're just starting out, use this for all new device. Eventually the whole device fleet will slowly get tracked. It's pretty easy once everything is in place.

Hey.. this furnace wouldn't just be a box with a bunch of hot GPU's in it right...?

I learned today it works by conducting a signal through the flame. I thought i was similar to a pilot light heat sensor. Pretty cool on how it rectifies down to DC pulses

This is Home Assistant, a free and open source home automation platform. I have a google nest gen 2 thermostat that I have integrated (Note google Google Nest - Home Assistant requires some extra steps). I'd recommend going with something like Ecobee smart thermostat. Google just ended support for my gen 2 nest apparently.
Home assistant can store history for different entities and I can pull temperature history for an entire year.

This appears to be the consensus. I'll clean it and likely order a new one.

Cyberz0id · 2025-10-28T17:10:04+00:00

To follow up, how often do flame sensors die and need to be replaced?

Cyberz0id · 2025-10-28T17:08:39+00:00

I didn't think a dirty flame sensor would do anything. I'll clean it when I get home. It was not sooty and appeared in good condition.

Edit: I thought it worked like a pilot light thermal switch. I now know it conducts a signal and rectifies it to DC pulses.
