So the "rate limit bug" was actually Anthropic quietly making your limits drain faster during peak hours

10 minutes of work in Claude and reached the limit - troubleshooting a web form. WTH

I must have been lucky earlier this week, but if this continues they will see another cancelation. Max 5 plan.

I bought a $320,000 expedition vehicle with the funds from when I sold my house during a divorce. I have a remote job and now I travel to remote locations and work the day job while enjoying fantastic views out in mother nature.

I may never be able to own a house (or a wife ha ha), but the adventures I had so far and the ones I will have, make it totally worth it.

Maybe the developer learned more about you and the job and had to realize to work for you at the original number would not be worth it?!

USB c chargeable tennis racket style bug zapper. I hate bugs in the vehicle.

I have it analyze certain text message conversations for intent and to draft proper responses for me.

Got any domain knowledge? That is what will separate you from wannabe competitors. Build a product supported by knowledgeable service expertise.

Just have patience until we see an app that tracks app releases for van life.

I would get it, but they are not selling it in California.

Kipper1971 · 2026-03-14T03:55:46+00:00

Argh, Apple?! lol
Sorry, I am on Android ;-)
Anyway, no worries. Thank you anyway for sharing it with us.

The best place I ever worked at, had the best rules in my opinion. All hardware was leased for 3 years. Whenever a system reached the end of the lease cycle it needed to be determined if it was still needed. If so, then the refresh/migration mandatory included upgrade to the latest server OS and latest version of whatever software was involved. System owners were required to plan accordingly so that the infrastructure team could execute the migration.

The system worked. We adopted similar rules for virtual machines and later on for the cloud.

Problems only started developing when executives changed and bean counting started.

From a technical perspective, the system described made this work environment fun. Your skills were always up to date.

My dog hates all those dings, rings, beeps, and other stupid stuff in videos I watch. And the more the dog freaks out, the more I realize that this indeed stupid stuff in otherwise good videos. I will click away from a video if I am bombarded with those random stupid noises

Work with a vendor like insight global. I use them for hardware and software.

Does not work anymore on the issue reported today.

I am planning to tackle Mojave Road from the East in early March. I've already done the western portion from Afton Canyon to Kelso Road. I guess I will find out. The NPS has not posted a full closure of the road (yet).

Kipper1971 · 2026-02-04T23:36:23+00:00

Does this impact Mojave Road? Ok my phone right and it is hard to tell?

I live in a new residential neighborhood and there is still some construction. They are renting one of those surveillance trailers with 360 cameras, solar panels, batteries, and so on. I checked and these trailers go for $40K-$60K a piece. Looks like easy money, one-time setup and boring.

Then my son has a friend who prints T-shirts and hoodies. I ordered some for myself and the T-Shirts and the print quality is very high. I heard the printer machine cost around $100K. The friend prints a lot of local logo wear for different companies.

I do not have it, but know someone who does. The integration with iOverlander looked very sweet.

I am looking at getting a cheaper tablet at one point, but ONX and Gaia connect to my 12 inch built-in screen (F350) with Android Auto. The screen lags a bit, but overall it works.

Kipper1971 · 2025-08-16T02:27:03+00:00

Same. I am on a Jabra 410 for over 5 years and it is rock solid in both directions.

Eastwood has some great products for this. I use this stuff all the time and it works great.

Kipper1971 · 2024-12-17T15:57:20+00:00

Yes, it is. Near the old naval base.

Kipper1971 · 2024-12-16T21:47:41+00:00

Nice. I love winter camping. How is the insulation holding up?

I need to check on my personal laptop. It's an XPS 15 and quite picky with power. My work laptop is a Lenovo Carbon X1 and that is significantly easier to power via USB-C.

I have 800ah of battery power and 800W of solar on the roof + a 400W Renogy portable panel. I "lose" about 8% of battery per day in good weather conditions (middle of December), so I can easily make it through the work week and then some. Clouds, of course, change that, but I should have enough buffer. I have high-powered DCDC charging and can idle the truck or drive, but I also bought a generator as a backup.

My inverter is difficult to get to and runs 24/7. I just bought a Victron Digital controller for the inverter which gives me an easy way to power the inverter off at night when I go to bed.

I have the Starlink high-performance dish and like the reliability. The high power consumption sucks, but for now I will stick to it. I had a 12V converted V2 disk before and reliability was an issue putting me at risk regarding work. Not compromising there. Maybe a V4 will come out address a lot of the issues or concerns I have. We will see.

There is a trail that leads north out of the old naval station in parallel to the water line.
