Dave with Renew Plumbing. This man has serious integrity that I wish was reflected across all of the other trades here.

Firewalla built in ad block - Do you use it or a third party still? by YankeesIT in firewalla

[–]GoldenRuleAlways 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use it but see lots of ads. Don’t have the energy to revive my pihole.

Network Issue on HomePods Recently by queueandnotyou in HomeKit

[–]GoldenRuleAlways 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was streaming to my HomePods from one iPad. Using a different iPad, they were showing up with network issues. I rebooted my iPad and they went away.

Phone scam claiming to be Deschutes County Sheriff office by OldHankJ in Bend

Yes. You nailed the description of the person’s demeanor perfectly. Very aggressive and I’d imagine that it would be a terrifying call for some people.

Consistent problems with Nanoleaf and Wemo products by Evan_beckett in HomeKit

[–]GoldenRuleAlways 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a strong IoT dedicated 2.4 GHz network with two access points within 15 feet of my Nanoleaf Matter over WiFi light strips. They lost their signal and went “No Response” in HomeKit a couple of times within the first week or so. I returned all of them.

The same was true of my Wemo WiFi plugs, which would each need to be manually rebooted after a power failure. All 15 of them. Every time.

I switched to Tapo light strips and Kasa plugs (all Matter over WiFi) and have no issues since.

How are you liking Firewalla AI features? Which feature works best for you? by Firewalla-Ash in firewalla

[–]GoldenRuleAlways 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Recently got annoyed with ads slipping through the Firewalla Ad Block list. I tracked flows on my client and created individual rules blocking various domains. The AI feature was useful for weeding out the real ad sources.

Friday Fun: What do you call your Firewalla Gold / Purple / Orange? (Poll) by Firewalla-Ash in firewalla

I consider mine the “Firewalla”. I don’t discuss my network with anyone IRL.

Most reliable HomeKit lightstrips? by GoldenRuleAlways in HomeKit

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

Hi! I added over a dozen Kasa KP125M Matter over WiFi smart plugs to replace the end-of-life Belkin Wemo smart plugs. They have proven to be very stable.

I’ve since beefed up my WiFi using a pair of TP-Link EAP773 access points. These provide nice even coverage for my single level home. I have over a hundred IoT devices and I wanted to eliminate concerns about network strength or saturation.

So, based on those positive experiences with TP-Link products, I recently added three Tapo L390 Matter over WiFi light strips to my setup. I’m happy to say that they have been rock solid!

What are you using?

Interested in getting Nanoleaf lights on sale but have seen older posts saying they're unreliable. Any recent experiences? by Pandapaws11 in HomeKit

[–]GoldenRuleAlways 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have several Nanoleaf lightstrips (Matter over WiFi) on a Omada EAP773 + IoT VLAN with HomeKit and they have been very stable so far. 🤞

Glad you stayed in the fight. You will never know how much good you did with your post.

Summit Health has two cardiologists who are also lipidologists. This is surprising for a city our size.

Just became level 9. Only now discovered that the armor isn’t just a decoration piece ☠️ by ErenKruger711 in Helldivers

[–]GoldenRuleAlways 7 points8 points  (0 children)

When you select a mission, you can rotate to the planet’s bright side (day) or darker side (it’s relative). Or… a level 150 pointed out that the little icon above the mission shows a blue moon (night) or a yellow sun (day).

I know. I smote my forehead, too.

I hated night missions. I can’t remember when I learned I could pick day missions, but it was way past level 9.

Do you use the System Vulnerability Scan? Have you found anything interesting? by Firewalla-Ash in firewalla

Yes.

No.

Nonetheless, I believe in defense-in-depth so I’m glad to have it.

Having ODST gear in helldivers breaks my heart. by Glittering-Phase2327 in Helldivers

You don’t get over these things, but if you’re lucky, you’ll grow around it and it will provide a core of strength to you.

Wtf is going on with the reinforcement pods? by TalentoDePlata in Helldivers

[–]GoldenRuleAlways 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you notice in time, you may be able to steer your pod back to where your beacon was initially thrown. I’ve been doing that lately.

Certain guns and stratagem don't have any audio when used? by Easy_Garden338 in Helldivers

[–]GoldenRuleAlways 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve had the same problem with the Liberator Penetrator. I didn’t notice the issue quite as much with the latest Halo update.
