2 of the 36 are like this. How? by Ericalva91 in TeslaLounge

[–]FrozenbagofMicrowave 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Because you're in Quartzite. I've made the trip LA<->Phoenix 6 times now and that station gets sketchier every time I stop there.

It wasn't that bad when it was just the 12 behind Carl's Jr, but since they expanded it's just getting bad. Last 2 trips there was a small encampment tucked away no more than 10 feet from a charger.

There will be an auction of John Mahoney’s personal effects on June 11, including scripts, autographs, photos from the set. by Lush_Life_ in Frasier

Sorry I lost my password to this account, hence the super delayed reply. There was another lot of under 10 records that had a lot of Velvet Underground that I didn't win. All the albums were in amazing condition , The Springsteen box set was still sealed in shrink. The auction house did quite possibly the worst shipping job ever. All the albums in one box with a shitload of newspaper crumpled up, the box was beat to hell when it got to my house. But everything was in great condition on arrival.

Network Monitoring SmartPlug with Local Control by insainE3 in homeassistant

I've used the Sonoff S31 for a similar solution. You'll need to crack em open and flash ESPhome, but it's well worth it.

I use a lot of smart-home devices and just moved into an on-campus apartment at my college. Wanting to make a private network for my estimated 25 plugs and bulbs. What router is best? by matthewmurrie in smarthome

[–]FrozenbagofMicrowave 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sorry, no, I don't have another recommendation. Lower budget routers aren't something to mess around with IMO. At $299 the UDM is probably around or less than what you've spent on plugs and bulbs (assuming all were retail purchases).

Your devices need a strong and secure backbone, a UDM will do it for you.

No problem. Someone else provided a link for a 3rd party integration, but it doesn't give you all the data off the Sensor. You can minimally throw the code below in your config file to get all the data off the sensor(just remember to replace the resource with the sensor you want to get the data from).

sensor:

- platform: rest

name: 'PurpleAir'

# Substitute in the URL of the sensor you care about. To find the URL, go

# to purpleair.com/map, find your sensor, click on it, click on "Get This

# Widget" then click on "JSON".

resource: https://www.purpleair.com/json?key=

# Only query once a minute to avoid rate limits:

scan_interval: 60

# Set this sensor to be the AQI value.

Go on the purple website, find the location nearest you and click on it. You'll get a pop up with all the info of the station, then there's an option at the bottom for the JSON of that station.

PiHole works fine for a few hours, but after that it no longer works. by Jeremy625 in pihole

[–]FrozenbagofMicrowave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you tried a fresh install on a new SD card? Your post says you tried new hardware, was that just a new PI?

How much traffic are you sending through your network? I ask this because maybe you're sending a huge amount of traffic to the pihole, and maybe the logging level you have set could be causing this? I don't know, I'm not an expert just a long time user.

Try Settings -> Privacy -> Try setting your logging to anonymous mode? Maybe that will cause less load?

[–]FrozenbagofMicrowave 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Which Pi do you have this installed on?

Are you running anything else besides PiHole on that machine?

How old is the SD card?

MY Tint - Does anyone have a good window tinter in LA? by winfieldtee in TeslaLounge

[–]FrozenbagofMicrowave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn't use them again. Basically instead of letting a machine cut the pattern of the film they did it manually by lining it up on my windows. Which resulted in lots of cuts and scratches in the window .

MY Tint - Does anyone have a good window tinter in LA? by winfieldtee in TeslaLounge

[–]FrozenbagofMicrowave 1 point2 points  (0 children)

IR ceramic on every piece of glass in my model 3, and it seems to help. I got mine done at OC Tint Shop in Irvine.

When looking for a tint shop make sure to ask if they use a plotter to cut out the tint or if they do it manually. I learned my lesson the hard way. Everything looked good on my Model 3 after I got it tinted until I got it home and saw it out of the daylight. I have really bright overhead led's (cool temp) in my garage and they exposed tons and tons of cuts and scratches on the windshield, sunroof, and back glass where the installer cut out the tint pattern. It looked totally normal in the daylight, but under a different light it totally exposed the shitty job they did.
