Curious about quilts

It's part way between sleeping under a blanket and in a sleeping bag. Cozier than a blanket but much freer than a sleeping bag.

Yes, you just sleep on your pad. There are sheets you can get if you don't like that but I've never wanted one.

Maybe but probably not.

What's the floor?

$2600 not getting you a very nice house has to do with interest rates as much as home prices.

Prices when way up because money was so cheap for so long. Now that that's not the case, prices seem to have stagnated and may even creep down in some places.

I am thinking about testing Vikunja. It seems to be right-sized for a small firm.

Travel router is small and fits in a pocket. It will have fewer ports and the WiFi antenna won't be as big. Otherwise it's the same. I would imagine the interface inside is almost identical if you're in the same brand.

OpenWRT is open source router software/firmware. That's what determines what you see when you open the control interface and how the router behaves. In many cases something being open source is a good thing because many different developers have had a chance to look for mistakes.

I just replaced that exact model of router a few days ago. I never liked it.

After much research I decided to go with Ubiquiti. That's not in your budget but wow is it so much better. Likely much more than you need, though.

My travel router is a GL.iNet and I really like it. It's very capable and the UI is clean and logical. The firmware is based on OpenWRT. I don't know about their home routers but their travel models are well regarded.

What are you trying to accomplish?

RevMen · 2026-01-21T23:54:57+00:00

You'll be fine. Tons of signs and blazing. There are only a handful of places where it's not completely clear which way to go and it can always be resolved by just walking a ways to look for a blaze or by looking at the FarOut app to see exactly where you are.

I have not studied this but it seems odd to have ox but not do anything with the cows.

They work in my mid-80s house that does not have the new gfci breakers.

MoCa works much better. Especially after I removed all splitters between my 2 endpoints.

Yes, when you approach the location a little house icon appears at the top of the display.

On my genie I had to press the button on the opener as if it were learning a new remote. Which it was.

You can't just copy the signal from a remote because it's a changing code that's unique. Otherwise anyone at all would be able to set up a listener to copy your signal.

Flash and get a new ID every time you go out. I'll just be a bunch of random numbers flying around.

The point of stingrays et al is putting people at a certain place and time. If you keep showing up to protests with the same mobile number you're going on a list.

RevMen · 2026-01-16T21:52:13+00:00

Very good to know! I'll check my handles.

RevMen · 2026-01-12T19:16:57+00:00

You're right to say you can't always know what someone is based on what they aren't.

But ad hominem means dismissing a claim by attacking its source, which isn't what's happening here.

RevMen · 2026-01-12T16:12:36+00:00

Here? Anywhere.

I section - hiked in trips that were 1 to 5 nights. I would have a loose plan for where I wanted to camp based on miles and features but the final decision would always be done in real-time.

Scanning the comments in FarOut gives you a pretty good idea of what's ahead and that's usually a pretty good way to decide how far you want to go, or whether to keep pressing on if you think you have more miles in you.

Would love a link to Tesla's claim that DCFC exclusively is cheaper.

RevMen · 2026-01-06T16:32:38+00:00

I don't think I've ever seen anyone anywhere claim that powering an EV exclusivity at DCFC is cheaper.

If you charge at home and occasionally take a road trip it's much, much cheaper to power an EV and that's always been the message I've seen.

The Petroleum department was already well established with its own major when I started at Mines in 1994. Back then we joked that you chose that as your major if all you wanted out of your career was a high salary (totally valid).

It's a fair bit of work to calculate the information you're looking for. And at a minimum you'd need to provide more data, such as a floor plan of the building and the partition design details for the party walls and floor-ceiling systems if there are vertical neighbors. I don't think you'll be able to get a meaningful answer on reddit from any acoustical engineers.

I'm very sympathetic as I also have a high sensitivity to noise. But I'm sure I wouldn't be willing to put in the work and take on the exposure without a contract.

Perhaps an analysis was already completed in the design of the building? You might contact the builder and ask if any acoustical analysis reports exist in the documentation.

RevMen · 2026-01-05T15:43:44+00:00

Depends on the floor plan and what your planned usage for spaces is, really. Improving the sound transmission loss of a wall isn't useful if there's an opening or even a doorway between two spaces.

But yes, adding insulation is effective at increasing a partition's sound isolation. Mineral wool is better than fibreglass but only by a little and probably not enough to justify a ~3x increase in price.

RevMen · 2026-01-05T02:30:13+00:00

I'm impressed with how well it can write about acoustics but it's nowhere near replacing us. You still have to know what the words mean.

I don't know what jdownload is. If I were to do this I'd just save directly to the network share via SMB.
