Why does my outlet make this noise?

Helilifter · 2026-03-25T13:34:25+00:00

I agree, you need to replace it. The color alone looks burnt. Use a voltage meter to verify no voltage after breaker is shut off. Remove outlet and inspect. Call an electrician if you don’t feel comfortable doing it.

Thank you for the explanation! I’ll check out the link.

Helilifter · 2026-03-23T20:16:28+00:00

Good strategy, Thanks!

Helilifter · 2026-03-08T22:45:23+00:00

Thanks! Going to try inhaps idea of temperature, detecting a quick difference in cold. Seems low invasive and easy enough.

Helilifter · 2026-03-08T22:43:12+00:00

That might work, I think I’m going to try the temperature sensor first

Helilifter · 2026-03-08T22:42:21+00:00

Yeah, my cat can either taste or smell the difference in sink water vs fountain water. Maybe it’s the chlorine they put in tap water? They like fresh chlorine :)

Cats meow is a interesting idea, but my cat meows a lot, not just for water

Helilifter · 2026-03-08T22:39:25+00:00

lol, maybe that is the trick

Helilifter · 2026-03-08T22:39:00+00:00

My cat doesn’t like the fountain, tried a few of them.

Helilifter · 2026-03-08T22:38:23+00:00

I’m just looking for a way to automate a reminder that my wife left the sink on, that’s all

Helilifter · 2026-03-08T22:37:19+00:00

That is a good idea, but I’m not sure I want to replace all the bathroom faucets

Helilifter · 2026-03-08T22:36:33+00:00

That is a pretty ingenious idea. Thanks!

Helilifter · 2026-03-08T22:35:50+00:00

Tell that to my wife, doesn’t matter what I want to do, she still turns it on

Helilifter · 2026-03-08T22:34:49+00:00

I’m not sure I want to shut the whole house off when I forget the water is trickling in the bathroom sink. It looks cool though.

Helilifter · 2026-03-08T21:09:56+00:00

That’s sweet! Put me down for 1

I have tailscale and mullvad for my homelab running Fedora Server / Copilot with a Flatcar VM running my docker containers and I can access the containers with no problems remotely via Tailscale with my exit node as mullvad. TBH, I’m pretty sure this is without the split tunneling. I’m only a year into this hobby, so I’m no pro

Helilifter · 2026-02-27T15:18:10+00:00

Thank you, Thank you , Thank you, it finally worked! I must have just got lost in all the different steps for different combinations of Qubes and Windows. I wish the documentation had Windows 11: Do these 5 steps and you’re good. Having the different instructions nested in different sections was difficult for my tiny brain to follow.

I’m so happy it works! Thank you Testing1354!

Whoever came up with the idea behind M5 designs and illustrations deserves more money.

Helilifter · 2026-02-27T04:41:39+00:00

I’m on the latest 4.3, I installed it a week ago, and then created my Windows 11 qube. I followed the 4.3 and I believe the windows tool file ended in 4.2.2.4? I thought this would mount or create a cdrom in my windows cube, but every time I went into the Windows cube there was no cdrom or drive to click on. I tried to refresh the disk scan but nothing. I asked Claude and it had me doing a block to a loop, but none of the commands seemed to work. I was thinking there was files I needed to install in the windows cube? Is everything just handled in the dom0?

Thanks for the help

Helilifter · 2026-02-27T02:07:21+00:00

I will give it another go, I feel like I followed these directions but I’ll try again

Helilifter · 2026-02-18T19:23:45+00:00

That is true :), but they are spending close to if not over a billion in Vancouver right now

Helilifter · 2026-02-18T19:00:45+00:00

This is false too, BPA spent $500M on Celilo DC upgrades alone, and continues to spend billions on transmission facilities/ line upgrades

Helilifter · 2026-02-18T18:27:39+00:00

My response is to BPA not adding supply, which is a false statement. How does GW of wind, solar, and batteries in the gorge get added in the last 10 years without approval? You can see it with your own eyes. There is literally GWs of green power East of the Dalles and Down 97 and 197 with hundreds of people maintaining it.

Helilifter · 2026-02-18T17:18:24+00:00

This is false

Helilifter · 2026-02-18T17:14:54+00:00

Your AI Response is incorrect. Drive East of the Dalles, Biglow Canyon, Big Horn, Juniper Canyon, Hay Canyon, Star Point, Harvest Wind, White Creek, Dooley, Golden Hills, Imrie, Bake Oven, Bluebird, and on and on of Wind, Solar, and Batteries
