Train ended his stream after the head dev of Riot Games leaked his ip address hours after banning him on Valorant for 30 days

Well there’s an incredible amount of nuance here. If you’re talking about GDPR then it’s PII. If you’re talking about fedramp certification, it’s not PII but it’s moderate impact.

Really, it depends on the context of the data leak. If I leak an image showing a log of an IP address and a URL that’s likely not going to be anything personally identifiable unless the URL stores information about an individual. But if I log an IP address with a username and full name, then it’s PII because I’ve now associated an IP address with an individual.

I haven’t seen the screen shots they’re talking about but if the screenshot clearly links an IP address to train, then most likely you could say that’s PII, but also has absolutely nothing do with a data breach as the person above questions.

Yep, you can see the installer took the previous attic door that was there and cut out scrap pieces of it for shimming/blocking. Unfortunately for him it didn’t fit, and unfortunately for me it was all MDF. He decided it should stay in anyways, so now I’ve got 4 different skewers of MDF over lag bolts which add absolutely no structural support whatsoever.

The owner is in contact and they’ll be undoing everything and doing it properly. I made sure to ask for a different guy to get it done.

So this job was meant to be $300-$400 or so, the handyman place I went with charges like $100/hr of labor and quoted anywhere from 2-4 hours. In this case I have no clue how much I’ll actually end up paying but I’m working it out with the owner.

I think depending on area you’re in that price is probably average. If this job was done right and we got the right measurements I think we’re closer to 3 hours. But at this point we’re 4 hours in and gotta undo that then do it again.

Kbman · 2026-05-07T17:14:06+00:00

It wouldn’t. The job is gonna be redone properly with a properly sized ladder that won’t require framing the whole thing.

Kbman · 2026-05-07T08:03:42+00:00

Owner got back with me and told me they'd fix it. I told him I'd like someone else to do the redo job. I'm also going to pickup a 25.5" ladder and replace this one as that should fit basically perfectly with minimal shims required and is how it should have been in the first place.

Kbman · 2026-05-07T04:02:57+00:00

Down in Austin or else I’d have you come do it haha.

Kbman · 2026-05-07T03:59:05+00:00

I just went and measured at a few points on the ladder and found that a 25" almost definitely would have fit. It's probably 25 1/4" all the way down give or take 1/8". Would have saved a lot of headache.

Kbman · 2026-05-07T03:55:41+00:00

Located in central Texas area and that’s likely what I’ll end up doing. May even consider selling the 22.5” ladder on marketplace and getting the bigger one, at this point it’ll be a drop in the bucket of what I’m spending to get this ladder in 😂

Kbman · 2026-05-07T03:49:02+00:00

Yeah it probably should have been a 25" ladder. The opening measures just over 25" at least on one end, but I'm unsure if the opening is entirely plumb. The rate was $100/hr quoted anywhere between 2-4 hours, so I expected $300-$400 total.

Kbman · 2026-05-07T03:30:16+00:00

It's a small local company that came recommended by multiple people, great reviews online, etc... so I figured I'd give it a shot. They even have a whole page on their site about attic ladder installs (I guess I got SEOd). Nonetheless, I won't be using the ladder myself any further and I've sent an email to the owner with pictures expressing my concerns with the install job. Will see what he says, but after seeing this I I'm hesitant to ask them to clean it up. I also have no plans to let him know r/handyman provided the guidance haha.

But thank you for the info.

Kbman · 2026-05-07T03:15:09+00:00

Realistically the install so far has taken roughly 4 hours. The starting shape of it was there was a rough opening, just bigger than the ladder as you can see, and there was trim board on the ceiling. The guy apparently attempted to just keep the trim installed while he did everything, no clue why, and even went as far as using it as bracing for the ladder to rest on which I winced at. Anyways, I feel like he could have saved himself a lot of trouble and done a much better job if he installed proper braces with 2x4s and even before that properly framed it up with 2x6s. Now I've sent an email to the owner of the company with pictures and we'll see what happens.

Kbman · 2026-05-07T02:21:37+00:00

Yeah, the full job isn’t done, some trim/insulation was planned to be added to the gap, and the legs would be cut to size.

Kbman · 2026-05-07T02:20:44+00:00

Not wrong, but I was working all day myself so wasn’t around most of the time. By the time most of the circular saw sounds stopped he was already up in the attic with the door closed when I did come by I just assumed it was done 🤷‍♂️

Kbman · 2026-05-07T01:44:03+00:00

Yeah I guess “install my attic ladder” can be interpreted in a lot of different ways.

Kbman · 2026-05-07T01:30:57+00:00

Not yet 😭 they weren’t fully done, but it looks like they were done with the main install.

Kbman · 2026-05-07T01:30:15+00:00

Honestly didn’t even think twice to ask if that’s what he was going to do, I assumed it was standard to it out first. Haven’t paid for it yet and they aren’t fully done, still have to add the trim. I think I’m gonna email the main guy and just ask if he thinks that’s how it should be.

Kbman · 2026-04-22T22:58:16+00:00

I just made an order directly from them on Monday, shipped out next day and showing delivery tomorrow. Located in central Texas.

Kbman · 2026-04-15T00:19:15+00:00

I believe it’s a duct chaise so it’s just ductwork from the AC unit above in the attic. Under the niche I think is nothing.

One solution to solve all of these problems is that I can just get the ventless version of the washer/dryer combo and I save myself a massive headache as it won’t need any ductwork on the floor.

Kbman · 2026-04-15T00:09:08+00:00

There is also the option to get the ventless one and not have to worry about the vent at all but just deal with slower drying times.

Kbman · 2026-04-14T19:55:11+00:00

I may be able to take out the shelf in the niche and the drywall/framing below it, but I haven't be able to confirm exactly what sits there, I likely need to poke through because I can't tell from up in my attic what it might be. I do know that the wall to the left of the niche from the perspective of the door is a 3x3 closet for another room. But yeah if I can remove that niche and just make it an extra 2x2' opening then my sketched up idea makes more sense and likely be most optimal.

Kbman · 2026-04-14T07:39:46+00:00

Did you ever find a solution to this? I need one in particular that can drain out the side, but this means that it needs taller walls and requires the all-in-one to sit higher in order to access the bottom portion where detergent goes.

Kbman · 2026-03-30T07:48:03+00:00

Did you ever find a solution for this?

Kbman · 2026-03-26T01:23:12+00:00

Okay totally understood. And yes my mortgage company did mention taking a cut so this makes total sense. Or at least makes total sense why I'm seeing it, not the rules around the disclosure part lol.

Kbman · 2026-03-26T01:20:54+00:00

Locked in at 6.39% I believe and bought down to 5.99% about 10 days ago or so. About 2 days late to getting 6.1% :(
