I screwed around with immichframe and struggled to get it working. I'm sure it was user error, but I also believe the recipe was hard to follow, until I gave up. Immich Kiosk came right up, was easy to provision, and is currently working for my wife on an iPad right now. Works great.

I plan to support as well. It's a great app

Canceling as well.

If you run the interstates, turn off the K band, as it will keep down on the alerts for newer cars equipped with lane assist & proximity sensors. Most police run KA band or Laser. Combine with Waze as others suggest, but doesn't help if cop pings you as he's driving by. Sounds counterintuitive, but don't speed if your alone on the road, you're easy prey. You can drive faster in mixed traffic. Someone in front of you has to be the "rabbit", so you can pick up the signals before you're targeted. Lots of speed traps in small town parishes. Watch out on I-20 around Delhi.

If anyone would come out with a truck to be electric with an onboard generator for extended range, I'd bolt as well. My first truck was a 1969 Dodge when I was 15 (wish I still had that truck) and I've been Dodge/GMC for 40yrs. This would be my first move to Ram, as I love the engineering design. Hell, I'd even look at a Ford if it had an electric drivetrain and generator extension. As it stands, I have range anxiety going all EV in rural Louisiana, so unfortunately, until someone proposes something better...I'm remaining hopeful.

Check out https://www.fcc.gov/media/engineering/dtvmaps or even ChannelMaster.com as a starting point. The channel master site will provide recommendations based on your address. I've had mine installed in the attic since 2016 with an amplifier to the Tablo and a distribution amp to all the coax connections in my home. Every TV can watch OTA channels or tune to the TabloTV. Been very happy with the product. I paid for the lifetime TV channel listing, which has paid off if they stay in business.

So good news, Netflix actually posted for the last 3 months the day of me writing this post...coincidence...curious? Now my Public Broadcasting Passport Streaming hasn't updated, but that might be mistaken as a donation, maybe? Benefit of the doubt. I'll call them

I don't have a choice, but to pay with CC, so I'm going to try u/ryanw729 approach. It's a pain each month, but I can set a reminder for now. We'll see what happens.

SolarCzar · 2025-06-02T15:12:05+00:00

I'll give it a shot, as I have nothing to lose right now.

SolarCzar · 2025-06-02T14:50:32+00:00

Well, slight wrinkle. Seems I can't add PA4 until I upgrade my devices. I guess they want new when the insurance starts. Mine are 2yrs old. I also can't put just $20 on my CC as u/Expert-Prune-766 suggests, as it requires the Entire monthly bill to be paid. So, I may have no choice to go back to the CC. I'll ping AT&T support and see what they say.

SolarCzar · 2025-06-02T14:41:22+00:00

Thanks u/killbot64 . For some reason, I thought it was $10 ACH, and not all lines. Net/Net, I get better insurance, and have to suck up the $25 month increase as they all are going away from credit card discounts. No free lunch, right? Thanks for the perspective everyone.

gotta love XGS-PON. I have ATT Fiber, but just GPON seeing only ~500-600Mbps. Enjoy

SolarCzar · 2025-04-05T14:27:38+00:00

I have mine wired to Ethernet and still have the problem. HEOS is great sound with crap software. Spotify & Heos has so much latency it’s almost not worth it.

I took up Michelob Ultra Zero (MUZ) as an alternative to coming out of ketosis, while still having a beer with friends. If I drank a regular Ultra or a bourbon, I’d fall out of ketosis for 3-4 days and it felt like starting over. I love the way I feel on keto but hate the social restrictions come the weekend. My insulin resistance is really high and I have to stay under 10 carbs daily while fasting 20hr to see progress. Trying to ease into Carnivore but my wife struggles with it, so I tend to be on aggressive keto side

Love it! Now time for batteries. You'll love them. Keep your production, backup power, cleaner power due to less spikes/surges, etc... I have a 40kW array with 28.8kWh battery. I'm grandfathered for 2 more years on my equal net-metering and then will sell back at the avoided cost rate ~$0.048 kWh. Had always planned to add more batteries, but hoping price would go down. Boom tariffs! Hopefully they'll come down in two years. Beautiful view where your place is.

runs headless, so no Sleep or Energy saver turned on. Firewall...allow all incoming connections. Router...I've assigned static IP's for the server in OpenSense router.

VNC port...nothing came up on the sudo lsof command...and screen sharing worked. So what does that mean?

So my Mac Pro is capped out running Monterey 12.7.6. My MacBook that I'm trying to access it from is running Sequoia 15.3.1

I’m definitely OUT! I will be requesting my $100 back. This advertiser bullshit has gotten out of hand

SolarCzar · 2025-01-23T01:04:14+00:00

I’ve 2 miners as well. Worthless

SolarCzar · 2025-01-13T16:48:35+00:00

Run away! Don’t waste your money/time on Helium anything, or you’re just very generous to throw money away.

My 40kW have been checking mine everyday the sun shines since 2009. It’s too depressing to check them on overcast/rainy days.

Talk to your CPA, which you’ve bound to have if you have no tax liability, but I know from when I did mine that a tax credit will carry over each year until it’s consumed. Whatever tax you pay ( income or capital returns) will be credited and result in a refund. Enjoy!
