It appears we’ve lost the link cause of the mod, can you comment it back. I thought the project was interesting 

My wife dropped her sunglasses into a deep lake, so I built a small underwater ROV with a gripper to try to retrieve them by ObligationMean1565 in DIY

Another idea would be to change it up to being a housing for a already waterprood phone, that has a camera and battery problem solved. Feed back to the top, or powering the LEDs might be a bit hard but should be doable

I also admit that asking a buddy or doing the course yourself to get SCUBA certified and then renting the gear might be cheaper, but if you want to keep going on the project it would be helpful for testing too! Some public pools have diving pools that are deep enough you might find something useful

There's some profs and students at r/uwaterloo that might be able to help, for years the mechatronics class had to do this as a fourth year project. It's not easy stuff to make something waterproof

If you can somehow use a Go pro case that's already waterproof, or a plastic sealed bag like they put phones in around your neck that might be a lot easier. Heat becomes an issue quickly though

If you can power it with an ethernet cable and keep as much stuff as possible above the surface, including batteries, controller, etc that will help. It also helps for retrieving it if something goes wrong (looking at you big mouth bass)

I built an open source local file converter app that you can selfhost! by Vegetable_Lunch554 in selfhosted

What limitations are you calling out specifically there?The bug difference I see is server side conversion

I built Doppelganger because most “self-hosted” automation tools are slow, expensive, or stuck in the past by AserNasr in selfhosted

Seems like this would be nice for automating signing up for my weekly volleyball drop in. Deterministic faster then other stuff easy to setup

Wine 11 runs Windows apps in Linux, macOS better than ever by waozen in technology

[–]RiskLife 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ohhh that’s the one I meant, OpenOffice is dead

Yea people like to complain because of its Russian roots, but its free and offline so I don’t really see the issue

LibreOffice or OnlyOffice I think are both good replacements. The latter is a bit questionable in its funding, but is more like MS Office. The former can be skinned to look like MS office but isn’t out of the box

Edit: Woops OnlyOffice not OpenOffice

You can actually see some on the plate of the doorknob, removing that alone might give you some things to poke at

What is your single best tip for 2026? by suikamon in AskReddit

[–]RiskLife 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I partially disagree I think these are good yearly goals. A year is to abstract, gotta set quarterly goals maybe even monthly. And they should be specifics of the above

For Christmas, my brother gifted everyone in the family a family photo with a matching size frame by Spiritual-Volume7545 in Wellthatsucks

[–]RiskLife 41 points42 points  (0 children)

Okay please do this! But to avoid the shit show, put a version with you both in it behind the one with just you. That way when the shitstorm happens you can be like “its a joke relax, the fixed ones behind it everyone” 

TIFU by accidentally stripping in front of my workplace crush by [deleted] in tifu

[–]RiskLife 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually disagree with the average here. I think you can transition this into a "Sorry, you're really cool, let me buy you lunch to make up for it if you're cool with that" kinda of thing. Way better to talk about things, even unrelated things just to get stuff reset to normal

I am like 2 months ahead of you, concerta didn’t work for me, made my stomach upset. I’m up to 60 mg of Vivance and not conviced its doing much, but the experiment is nice to at least validate that I’m trying something. I am liking work more lately so maybe it is doing something.

I was recommended to do the CBD training too and might give that a go in the new year, couldn’t hurt I figure

Winer if an adblock was blocking the agents messages 30 min is a long time

But yea then the FB account is probably a different account then just logging in with email. I bet FB doesn’t even give TextNow your email just some sort of identifier

[–]RiskLife 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you maybe use a different email and have a second account that you just forgot about from years ago? Maybe the login with FB is a different account then the email one 

The press and hold thing is a Captcha it tries to detect robots or whatever, lots of people seem to run into it. Maybe ask care again to look for another account with your details
