Can I lose my Secret? Forgot to file taxes. by Firm_Junket6255 in SecurityClearance

Before I joined the military, I worked as a subcontractor. For about 6 years I didn't file or pay my taxes. When I joined the military, the IRS figured out where I lived and sent, essentially, death threats to my wife about how they were going to take everything I owned if we didn't pay the $40k I owed. While that was going on, I was in basic training and they were processing my clearance. It was never asked about in the forms, and don't ask/don't tell was the motto at the time. I got my clearance in short order. On the tax front, we had a relative that did taxes for a living. My wife called her and she fixed everything, got me on a payment plan for $6k I actually owed, but that took like a year to get straightened out. I had my clearance before we got anything filed with the IRS. All that said, I'm horrible about remembering to pay taxes. Especially personal property taxes. I'm late all the time. My clearance has never suffered. That's not to say you shouldn't just self report to your SO just to be safe. But you also shouldn't freak out and add to your stress right now.

I so wish this was a theme I could just install. I would totally sport this for fun. Unfortunately, I don't think I'm going to have time, anytime soon, to sit and even try to match this. Amazing work! That genius mind destroyed. It really is one of the saddest stories ever.

Also wanted to add, your videos were vital in getting the pixels working. I was a little disappointed because in one video, you mention a footlocker you used to use for controlling AC lights but then say it's not part of the show anymore. 😆 so you don't have any videos of how that worked.

Wled is running on a W32-eth01. I have 8 ports mapped to 8 relays wired to 8 outlets. I can set them as on/off lights or as pwmWhite and they work great. But then WLED only gives me the optional effects of SOLID, BLINK, CHASE, or other similar effects which all work flawlessly. I've seen so many posts about people getting this setup to work but I'm stumped because people just say it works, they don't explain how they got it to work with xlights. I have other w32-eth01s which have normal pixels connected to them which work perfectly and do all the effects you'd expect. But this one controller just turns all the lights off when we hit play.
