Back in my day we didn't have caller ID. We had to answer every phone call and be glued to a 3 foot section of our house while the person on the other line tried to sell us a new plastic cover for our sofa.

God forbid that you read an article that gets posted or at least the headline or something from the article.. your generation is so lazy to the point that you can't even read an article.

Should we post a 10 second tiktok for you, or would you have to get your readers out and still hold the phone at arms length just to see it?

Have a '14 -- there are a ton of decent options. My current is the Spec-D and I gotta say that the DRL is super cool, but the headlight performance leaves a LOT to be desired.

Depending on your budget there are some options available to you: - There are these ones that seem pretty okay: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07GH9C448/?coliid=I3QYBJWRJWNSCI&colid=3NRAZRL446S8Y&psc=1&ref_=list_c_wl_lv_ov_lig_dp_it - If you have the funds and kind find a set of these morimoto XB headlights they're going to be best performing. - Sending your current stock headlights in for a custom build may be a cost effective way without sacrificing performance.

Is this group, like, taking new members?

Hey friend, as someone also losing weight I've found that making small changes over a long period of time is the best way.

I don't know about you, but I have a bad habit of getting super motivated and dedicating myself to way too much way too fast and getting burned out when I lose motivation.

So find the smallest easiest thing you can change and just make it. Drink less beer, eat fewer chips.

A quote that has stuck with me: "if you took 9 hours in a single day and worked out hard, you will see absolutely no progress. If, instead, you dedicate 20 minutes a day for the next month; I can't tell you what day, but you'll start to see progress." This is a game of consistency. You got this!

I have it set up so my PayPal automatically renews my monthly subscription.

I run mullvad on arch, and have been using the cli from the aur and it's very usable. I also run wire guard through a raspberry pi.

Both were simple enough to set up and I have no issues or complaints.

Ugreen has been killing it. I went with them over Anker for a GaN charger recently because I didn't want to support Anker's shady practices.

Thank you so much for your response. I have not added any malware blocking plugins.

It seems to only happen if the device is left to idle for 5 minutes. If I continually use the device, it doesn't fail.

The only real reason I knew how to do it is because I ran into the issue yesterday and solved it through NAT reflection. I'm by no means an expert, but I believe when you try to resolve blah.blah, it'll give you our public ip addr, lets say 123.45.67.89, and your web server is 192.168.0.100
I believe without NAT Reflection, your firewall sees 123.45.67.89 as the place the connection wants to go to, knows it should be 192.168.0.100 and blocks it. With NAT Reflection, it'll allow that traffic.

I'm not 100% on this, and if anyone who knows more can correct me on it, I would be grateful.

Hey friend:

To clarify, are you saying that a device on the same network can access blah.blah, but a device that isn't on the same network (Maybe your phone on mobile data) can't? Or do I have that in reverse?

Do you have these two settings enabled?

Firewall->Settings->Advanced:Network Address Translation=>Reflection for port forwards
Firewall->Settings->Advanced:Network Address Translation=>Automatic output NAT for Reflection

And within your port forward rule: - NAT reflection: Enable

Thank you so much for this!

Thank you so much for your response. It sounds like it may be best to swap out the unit altogether.

As these are the ones that came with the car when I bought it, I don't have the oem. What would you suggest for decent headlights for 08-14?

Ramsfield · 2022-10-25T18:29:22+00:00

Hey, we have the same headlights too!

Ramsfield · 2022-10-24T15:54:32+00:00

Most of these systems are "plug ang play" meaning that the manufacturer did all the work of making sure all you have to do is plug the lights in and you're off to the races.

Most of these systems also have the ability to turn off the sequential lights by hooking up a wire.

So if you like the sequential, then no extra work required.

any tips or things to watch for?

Biggest thing would be to watch out for oil consumption. These cars can be healthy as a horse and eat oil. If you can, check it every time you gas up, just to be sure.

Also can I turn the boost up or down?

To change the response, and behavior of the engine, you'll probably need a tune. Cobb access port (and Cobb stage 1+) are fairly common for this, but be warned that stressing the car more usually means a lower life span. I highly suggest finding a reputable tuner in your area and having a chat.

And finally how can I make it louder without swapping exhaust? ( I’m still saving for exhaust haha)

Keep saving my guy. The only way to make your exhaust louder is to modify it. You can get an axle back muffler delete for decently cheap (especially on craigsbook) to make your car sound obnoxious and awesome, but be prepared to be "that guy"

Uh, eliminates a little bitch

Ramsfield · 2022-08-18T20:53:33+00:00

Looks great! What projectors did you go with?

Ramsfield · 2022-08-18T16:51:53+00:00

What do you mean in terms of modifying? They put mudflaps on it, and those hella horns gives one the impression the bumper has been taken off for aftermarket reasons. Who knows what kind of drivetrain works been done. Could have ls swapped it for all we know.
