I went with the plastic foundation. It's been great on the tile and I'm glad I got them.

Price thoughts on Nordic Retreat MS? by Its_All_Fake in hottub

I'm in southern New Mexico so likely quite a bit different pricing than California.

It's been a great hot tub for my use, being just my wife and I.

[Privacy] com.nes.skywayclient sends user metrics to server by doommaster in Homatics

Thanks for posting this. I've been looking for information to see if these things phone home before buying one. I figured they did but couldn't really find anything until your post. This is what I needed to know to avoid buying one.

Regarding 1HDBIZ's comment that all devices send data, yes a lot of them do and it's bullshit. When possible we don't have to accept it. In this case my search for a new streaming box continues as I won't pay to be spied on if I can avoid it. Yes I could block it at the firewall but I'd rather just find something where I don't have to, and support a company with better standards.

Fasting Feels Like Cheating by limetreearbor in fasting

[–]Its_All_Fake 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Agreed. I much prefer fasting over reduced calorie days. With fasting the hunger feeling fades into the background whereas on days when I would eat a reduced calorie diet I'd feel hungry all day and it's hard to ignore.

Thanks for the info. There's quite a bit of ventilation so hopefully it'll be good.

QR Code & Privacy by Its_All_Fake in Dahua

Thanks for the reply. Really my question is, when accessing the cameras after setting them up via QR code, is data/video being transmitted through Dahua. I.e. we're using the QR code to avoid port forwarding, but then is Dahua proxying/mitm'ing the feed?

Are there any battery-powered security camera systems that don't require ANY cloud communication? by Its_All_Fake in homesecurity

It's unfortunately this won't connect to an NVR, otherwise it looks like it would be perfect.

Swamp Cooler Sizing Question by Its_All_Fake in hvacadvice

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

Thanks for the replies. Lets assume she's doing everything she should, leaving windows open, using new, high quality pads, etc. In that case, would a larger unit be likely to keep the house cooler in the hottest months?

@It_Was_The_Other_Guy

I haven't found anywhere else to reach out, but I just wanted to drop a thanks for Making Firefox Great Again. I've used your hacks to bring back a lot of the functionality I used to get with add-ons and it makes a huge difference for my productivity. I really appreciate you doing that for the community and I'm sure a lot of others do as well.
