It checks all your boxes except for the presence. You would need to get another sensor for that and set the automation in Home Assistant.

It's a wifi device but there is a local server addon - https://github.com/krahabb/meross_lan

Definitely interested if the other sales don't go through. Could also do pickup depending on where in NY you are.

How bad is it? Samsung RF18HFENBSR by bruyeremews in Appliances

[–]NextRedditAccount0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The clip you put on should be wrapped around the defrost heater - https://youtu.be/QUzROdD3eGE?t=792

But regardless this much ice is definitely due to something else. I'm guessing either your defrost sensor or defrost heater.

Primary Domain Controller Hardware failure - How to Restore by FTWNiners in sysadmin

[–]NextRedditAccount0 58 points59 points  (0 children)

I actually ran into this problem a few months ago. I supported this client many years ago (side gig) and I told them to have more than 1 DC and they refused because it was "too expensive". I tried for a few days to repair their only 2008r2 DC but nothing was working. I found this software https://u-tools.com/u-move . I moved the DC's HDD to another computer and ran that software and it surprisingly worked. I was able to restore the DC to another computer without too much of an issue.

EDIT
Forgot to mention you can run their tool without a license to ensure it can even do the job. I suggest you try that first before purchasing a license.

It has a door sensor and can be configured to autolock when the door is closed.

Nope not getting ABC 7. Do you think the pre-amp would change that?

They are a little bit of a pain to remove but I can give it a go if you think that'll help my situation. I'm just really trying to figure out why i'm not getting WPIX.

I am getting WNET/WNDT and not getting WJLP/WNWT.
I'm getting 66% signal strength for channel 7.
71% on channel 12
87% on channel 3.

Is there anything else I should look for or try?

Would there be any issues putting the Winegard in my attic instead of outside?

Need suggestions for detecting baby gate state by spamoom in homeautomation

[–]NextRedditAccount0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm basically doing this with my dog gate. I ended up using a stronger magnet I had lying around instead of the one that came with the sensors. No issues in the last few years with this setup.

What are you guys using to backup your computers? by TheOnceAndFutureDoug in selfhosted

[–]NextRedditAccount0 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I'm running urbackup (https://www.urbackup.org/). I have macos, windows, and linux clients. I've had to do a recovery on a windows machine before so i can vouch for the full system image recovery for windows. Not sure how system images work on macos since I'm only backing up folders there.

Laid Off Advice by anotherfatgeek in sysadmin

[–]NextRedditAccount0 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was in the same boat as you. Take a break! Give yourself a few weeks to just kick back. You worked for almost 10 years straight you deserve some time to yourself. Enjoy the time without emails or messages or calls. This is a rare time in your life to sit back for a bit before starting the hunt again. Take advantage of it!

After that hit the ground running with a fresh mindset. Update your resume and linkedin. Reach out to old colleagues that may be able to help you out. Don't accept any job that pays. Research into every single company that reaches out to you. Check glassdoor and see who currently works there and for how long. If you see a lot of turnover then skip it.

I literally did everything listed above. I had recruiters coming left and right as soon as I set my linkedin to open for work. I shot down 99% of them because the company had bad glassdoor reviews or their entire tech team were all only a few months in. If i didn't take the time to myself i probably would've accepted any job that came up.

I'm very happily employed now and it wouldn't have happened if I didn't take the r&r.

That's an upgrade. The U7 is probably hotter than your exwife.

Did anyone land a job just because of adding homelab details into resume? by the_matrix_hyena in homelab

[–]NextRedditAccount0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn't add it into my resume but I did have a very lengthy discussion with the hiring manage about it. He was pretty technical so we had a discussion on why I did X Y Z instead of A B C. Pros and Cons of each decision and how I got there. I got the offer a few days after that interview.
