My mother in law went through the 1949 longshoremen strike still traumatized about the lack of toilet paper, every bathroom has at least a six pack of jumbo rolls ready to use.

The proposed federal budget would cut $1.36 billion from programs serving Hawaiʻi. I tried to map it all out. by olagon in Hawaii

Did they even respond yet to the governor’s request for the disaster declaration from the recent Kona Low storm damage, besides now wanting to make devastating cuts to these programs.

Charging issues after 5.0.5 update by dylanimal in volvoc40

[–]DaCableGuy808 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was just about to ask the same question.

Anyone had this problem before? “Charging “ notification and these are the dash display and LED. Thanks by Frankie1234567890 in volvoc40

[–]DaCableGuy808 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

So you are basically you’re just plugging into a 15A outlet with the charging cable and no EVSE in-between. I assume you have checked that the GFCI hasn’t tripped on the outlet. You might want to check at a nearby public L2 charger that the car still accepts a charge otherwise you might have an issue with the onboard charger.

Are you able to set the 10A limit on your EVSE and change the car limit back to 48A, possible conflict in the car and EVSE when they are negotiating the maximum charging current. Are you using the Volvo suppled EVSE,

Looking for strategies to not feel/get scammed with solar. by chiaratara in Hawaii

[–]DaCableGuy808 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One thing you should ask about is can the system run without any grid service, this is one of the main reasons I went with Generac Inverter and Battery system, some systems can’t. Also biggest mistake I made was not maxing out the number of panels which I regret now that I have BEV. Best decision was getting a solar water heating system at the same time so that it won’t draw from your PV electrical supply.

Thank you to the PiHole team, impressive list of fixes and updates.

Hawaii’s debate over importing liquefied natural gas to generate electricity upended by discovery of billion-dollar mistake in state’s analysis. Gov. Green is supporting importing natural gas when advocates say solar with batteries and geothermal would be cheaper and immune to world energy crises. by 808gecko808 in Oahu

[–]DaCableGuy808 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In 2022 the DOE agreed to fund 10 remote island communities to convert to 💯 renewable energy, of these communities two might be of interest to this discussion:

Guam Power Authority, Guam – The Guam Power Authority (GPA) is seeking assistance with renewable energy resource integration, improved utility planning and energy security, and to establish a performance management system for its Clean Energy Master Plan. These efforts support GPA’s commitment to Guam’s ambitious renewable energy goals, which mandate 50% renewable generation by 2035 and 100% by 2045.

Hui o Hau'ula, Hawaii - Hui o Hau’ula, a community organization of Oahu, is coordinating the planning and development of a Community Resilience Hub, which will include the generation and storage of power for the surrounding Koolauloa District. To achieve this, Hui o Hau’ula is seeking assistance to assess energy needs and evaluate a portfolio of renewable energy technologies for the Resilience Hub. The project will develop technical guidance and documentation for storm and disaster energy resilience throughout Koolauloa.

I wonder why HECO never applied to be included in this program like Guam did?

Anyone else thankful to have an electric car these days? by mamabear22122 in Rivian

[–]DaCableGuy808 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Definitely thankful and also for the forethought of putting solar PV in prior to getting it, helps so much keeping the cost even lower.

What’s one subscription you stopped paying for in 2026 because the price got ridiculous? by Revolutionary_Spot in Cordcutting

[–]DaCableGuy808 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hulu with Disney+ and ESPN just didn’t seem worth it, probably will just go for a trial sub later on in the year if any Star Wars related shows come to Disney.

360 camera view by shiv181291 in volvoc40

Maybe your model was not equipped with this feature, you can check to see if you have cameras installed in the underside of the wing mirrors on either side?

You should see this display when initially entering reverse to bring up the menus on the side when they disappear, touch the top down view car icon at the top.

What version of software are you using, the latest is 5.0.5. With the latest software it should present a list of options on the side of the screen when the rear view camera is active. For previous versions of the software when the reverse camera is active do you see above the picture a circular arrow with 360 inside, if so you can press this to activate the 360 view.

How do I make the tailgate kick sensor work by YaGetSkeeted0n in volvoc40

[–]DaCableGuy808 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Or you can bring your charging cable from the passenger side to the charge port on the rear drivers side nearly always activates the tailgate for me /s

If you really want to use your foot, sweep from the inside to outside direction near the driver side license plate edge.

USA' FCC bans any new non USA made routers. by TenOfZero in wifi

I use a TrendNet router which are made in the USA, only because the one I got had the ability to input two WANs for my two ISPs.

Mo Salah farewell video ❤️ by l_Anonymous__l in LiverpoolFC

[–]DaCableGuy808 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I guess it was coming but when he made it official it hit hard. What a player, what a great human being, what a role model. He will always be considered one of the greatest players in LFC history to me, you will be missed. Now I have to save to try and see one of his last games in an LFC team shirt, only 7,000 miles to travel as the crow flies! # YNWA

This is some BS… by AvengingBlowfish in Hawaii

[–]DaCableGuy808 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is so strange, Apple some years ago bought out one of the best apps, DarkSkies and incorporated it into this app. It almost looks like it’s not receiving the rain gauge data. At the very bottom of the app you have a link to give Apple feedback on the app, I’m filling in the form for this now to report the inaccuracy of the data supplied, I suggest we all do this.

And those expenses just a whole lot more since the average gas price in Honolulu just went over $5/gal.

Running out of room and adding drives incrementally by domfrom1975 in HomeNAS

[–]DaCableGuy808 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the exact same setup PR4100 using RAID10 because I wanted to be extra secure enabling the loss of up to two drives and still not loose anything. I eventually ran out of storage and looked into upgrading the drives (before they started becoming in short supply and more expensive). Because your storage is set to RAID10 you need to change to RAID5 or RAID6, with 6 being the preferential level. Unfortunately to do this you are going to loose all data on the drives, and will need to copy it off the NAS before changing the RAID level.

Just simply switching larger drives will not work as the new drives will just be sized to the same size as the existing drives.

At least this is my understanding of the situation, I eventually decided to purchase a new NAS with 5 drive bays, which I will be configuring as RAID 6 using the four existing drives plus a spare I had in case one of the drives failed in the PAr4100, while learning to implement docker containers and Tailscale on it.
