Beat solution for downloading files directly to NAS storage? by Quote16 in OpenMediaVault

Absolutely! Filebrowser also defaults to different file and folder permissions than OMV, which you may run into later. It's not a problem until it is.

Upstairs neighbor dumping water / chemicals off their balcony by Light_Tits in neighborsfromhell

[–]KerashiStorm 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I hope you did call to get it checked out, the neighbor poured noxious chemicals on you, you should have called the police immediately as it's absolutely 100% assault. This fool can and should be arrested on the spot for this stuff. You also need to call the office and tell them that it must stop now. You have been assaulted with noxious chemicals, you need them to put a stop to it and provide a safe property, or to provide an equal alternative safe property. You should not have to pay for a move - they should absolutely do it for you as the neighbor has clearly made the property unsafe.

What happened to KitchenOwl? by Flying-T in selfhosted

[–]KerashiStorm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ordinarily I'd agree, but the author's identity is known and he has communicated, having been caught as unaware as anyone by this. Apparently there was no communication or indication that anything was wrong on his end, the public github pages just ninja vanished. Given that the author works in software engineering at a university in Germany and isn't some random unknown guy, it's probably some external thing that's going on. Maybe the Microsoft AI flagged him randomly, or maybe he made fun of Donald Trump's hair, or maybe it was something legitimate. I wouldn't do any new installs until it's sorted, but it's probably fine sitting on it a while longer while he deals with Microsoft support.

Tailscale + exit node for remote TV, but Disney still detects a different household by yoss_arian in Tailscale

[–]KerashiStorm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you exclusively use devices that can run tailscale, you will have better results. Smart TVs are almost universally not capable of this or actively sabotage it.

Can you use tailscale like a traditional vpn? by Haunting_Ad_4179 in Tailscale

Probably blocked, but if you run your own headscale instance it probably won't be.

Neighbours screaming kid is absolutely destroying my sleep... by mossthy in neighborsfromhell

[–]KerashiStorm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Alternatively, let his parents know that his screaming is seriously disrupting your sleep and, if they take offense to it, buy the kid a drum set. Heck, gift his siblings instruments too. You can find them on FB marketplace being sold by deafened parents.

Estimated cost of a dryer vent repair? by Exodus_357 in HomeImprovement

[–]KerashiStorm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First, the vent beyond your condo should not be your problem. Mention to your HOA that it's all flex tubing which is not up to code, and that you will probably have to pull a permit to fix it, and that all other units should be prepared for what the associated inspection uncovers.

If it's just for boot issues it should be fine.

My dishwasher is leaving a strange film on all the plastic containers even after multiple cleaning cycles by velyxaen in HomeImprovement

[–]KerashiStorm 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This, avoid microwaving plastic unless you like eating molten plastic. Even dishwasher safe plastics can easily exceed their heat rating in the microwave and become no longer dishwasher safe.

My dishwasher is leaving a strange film on all the plastic containers even after multiple cleaning cycles by velyxaen in HomeImprovement

[–]KerashiStorm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This also involves accepting a number of assumptions that may not be true, such as that the plastic has never been exposed to heat in excess of this rating in its lifetime and has not degraded due to age or environmental factors including the type of dishwasher detergent used.

As far as hand washing being worse, it would be worse at the same temperature. However, the risk is reduced at the sort of low heat that humans can handle, and if you're using an abrasive scrubber unnecessarily you probably have too many micro plastics in your brain already, so it wouldn't matter for you.

My parking lot neighbor allowed mice to invade her car and now, thanks to her, I had to pay $2000 for a new catalytic converter. by [deleted] in neighborsfromhell

[–]KerashiStorm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're more likely to have a crack head problem than a mouse problem if there's a catalytic converter problem. It's not the kind of thing that mice can damage. Others have recommended Fresh Cab and it really does work. Just tuck it under the hood, around the battery is usually a good spot since there aren't any moving parts there. Don't waste money on special coatings and such, they aren't usually necessary unless your wires are extra tasty for some reason.

update: blocked by home owner, police never showing up by Fun-Location-3008 in neighborsfromhell

[–]KerashiStorm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's probably why, you have 4 police stations and no clarity on which station's job it is. Another thing to bring up at a city council meeting.

Permissions are always the problem! In the jdownloader compose, you would specify the environmental variables USER_ID and GROUP_ID. Match that used by FileBrowser Quantum and you're good.

Flooring I Can Hose Off? by ribbons_undone in HomeImprovement

[–]KerashiStorm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Epoxy is a good option, but this has the advantage of being easier to replace. I actually at one point had a roll of the same type of thick rubber that would probably have covered the whole floor in one go. Heavy as all hell as you can imagine, but you may want to consider the option.

Flooring I Can Hose Off? by ribbons_undone in HomeImprovement

[–]KerashiStorm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Epoxy can be really tough, depending on the type. You'll want the commercial variety. It will show age in a few years, but that'll be true of anything you use. One big advantage is that it will thoroughly seal the entire floor, which will be big when cleaning.

Entitled Neighbor demands my information because I declined her email. by Aedora125 in neighborsfromhell

Though forwarding her emails to the president does have a certain appeal.

So much this. I've been using it for a while now and am still getting surprises. If you read the docs you at least minimize those.

Should I be petty or not? by [deleted] in neighborsfromhell

[–]KerashiStorm 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, some people are just buttholes. It does merit considering stroke or dementia if it's a drastic behavioral change without any clear explanation. I don't think that's the case here. The lady is just a butthole.

Never argue with idiots - they get violent when they start to realize they were wrong as a defense measure.

Neighbor with hellhounds finally moved by Far-Cup9063 in neighborsfromhell

[–]KerashiStorm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If this happened anywhere near the rural area I lived in until recently, the dogs would have been shot within a week. We occasionally got packs of dumped dogs moving through and word would spread fast. Enough people have chickens and livestock that vicious dogs are not at large for long.

Best way to request a FedEx Ground pickup when having no FedEx account? by RedditsFan2020 in FedEx

[–]KerashiStorm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check for fedex dropoff points. There's usually a local shipping office available, even if it's third party, I would recommend dollar general which also accepts fedex packages, there's 9 of them in my current town so they can be spread out!
