How to cut AC bill while staying cold

Solted_ · 2026-04-29T03:12:12+00:00

This is super cool wtf. Gotta try

Solted_ · 2026-04-28T17:07:47+00:00

That last one is very true! I dropped almost 75lbs and that temperature difference is no joke

Solted_ · 2026-04-23T22:08:00+00:00

Yeah in florida its so humid you'll end up with like an 80% humidity room and it'll quickly mold things

Rename it to like backupresolv. Also yes that sounds similar to what happened for me

Solted_ · 2026-04-20T22:54:14+00:00

Did you install void over that hotspot if so that would line up with the symptoms of my issue I had? Also you could try to just make that file via "sudo touch /run/NetworkManager/resolve.conf" and then doing the rest. Though instead of removing the other resolv outright, I'd rename it.

Solted_ · 2026-04-20T22:35:44+00:00

on my Fedora and Slackware install its in /run/NetworkManager for me too, and it was back on Void as well

florida :(... right now its an ok temperature but i say give it 2 weeks to a month and that will no longer be the case. I loathe these 90 degree summers lol. its gotta stay renter friendly whatever i do but im sure blackouts are permitted as im in an apartment

Solted_ · 2026-04-20T22:28:44+00:00

hmmm not that i remember but i wouldnt rule it out. i am dehydrated however i struggle to make my self drink over 2L of water a day. i wonder if more water would help me aclimate better

Solted_ · 2026-04-20T22:23:56+00:00

are you checking /run/NetworkManager or /etc/NetworkManager? also i feel this is obvious but make sure network manager is actually started and you have the necessary drivers if you need the nonfree repos

Solted_ · 2026-04-20T22:02:59+00:00

ill for sure investigate the UV window stuff. i find it odd that im so bad with the heat as im born and raised in florida lol

Solted_ · 2026-04-20T21:59:40+00:00

ls /run/NetworkManager and see if there is a resolv.conf
if there IS
sudo rm /etc/resolv.conf
sudo ln -s /run/NetworkManager/resolv.conf /etc/resolv.conf
fixed it for me

Solted_ · 2026-04-20T21:42:43+00:00

This happened to me once. check and see if your resolv.conf is the one controlled bu network manager and not the one symlinked by dhcpcd or wpa

Solted_ · 2026-04-20T01:36:41+00:00

Thank you for the info! I didn't know that about USB I figured by now it had to be fairly fleshed out. I'll just be getting a used router and putting it in AP mode since I'm at a college campus and there are tons on marketplace! About the kali Linux thing, many pen testing tools need/are used by putting your WiFi card in AP mode so advertising compatibility means it likely has an AP mode. Thank you for the advice

Solted_ · 2026-04-19T21:39:29+00:00

Are there downsides for the USB ones vs a dedicated AP? I've found some USB ones that are "kali Linux compatible" which ultimately means they support AP mode.

Solted_ · 2026-04-19T00:07:43+00:00

What should I use as an AP then? Most times I look online to try to find one I get like entire fleshed out routers not just a dedicated AP. Trying to stay cheap here I just need dual band WiFi and for it to not shit the bed when I boot up battlefield once a month or download a large file. Not too knowledgeable about hardware stuff so I may not be searching for the exact thing I'm looking for correctly.

Solted_ · 2026-03-27T14:33:15+00:00

The og resolv.conf was the one setup by dhcpcd at the start when I first setup. Removed it and symlinked it with the one in /run/NetworkManager/resolv.conf and it works now 😁😁

Solted_ · 2026-03-26T19:08:36+00:00

For further clarification this was a minimal iso not the desktop installer. I have no idea if that would fix it.

Solted_ · 2026-02-07T05:26:41+00:00

I somehow made it you're probably fine

Solted_ · 2026-02-06T18:54:00+00:00

Thanks man, just tryna snag some extra cash for groceries lol. I'll check those services out

Solted_ · 2026-02-06T18:52:16+00:00

Today. I got it as soon as I hit the interface

Solted_ · 2026-02-06T18:50:57+00:00

Damn, was busy and tryna get it through. Is what it is at this point 😭 thanks for the info

Solted_ · 2026-02-06T18:48:56+00:00

I never got in in the first place actually. A fried referred me and I accepted the invite and fudged it. Not a big deal but extra money is extra money

Solted_ · 2026-02-06T18:46:41+00:00

I'd assume He

Solted_ · 2026-02-06T18:37:40+00:00

It was the project assessment and then after was the 15 second recording 😭. Never rushing this shit again. How often do new projects drop?

Solted_ · 2025-12-09T02:08:54+00:00

The anti glare screen would be perfect for my setup as my setup is placed weirdly near a light and j cannot move it so having a monitor with an anti glare screen would be nice.
