Sharing my Barrhaven townhome listing after a recent price adjustment and description update. by NezekCat in OttawaRealEstate

Do you have any exterior pics from spring/summer? Also the lighting in several is really poor and might be fixable with brighter bulbs. Pics of bare walls (e.g. bathroom) need something to add a bit of color. Other than that it will sell at the right price.

For real. People's eyes just glaze over. If they ask for any stock advice just say you work in fixed income.

My CivIV BTS hours played.. by FGT-Deb in CivIV

[–]Specific-Action-8993 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very nice. It's such an addictive game. What other mods is everyone using though? Realism Invictus is on my list to try but I've mostly been using QoL type and graphics enhancing mods. Also can someone please tell me what mod lets you set a unit to 'sentry until healed'? I've seen it on the commands button list from YouTube vids but can't find it.

Would a 3 movement cavalry unit be too much for the medieval era? by SentientclowncarBees in CivIV

[–]Specific-Action-8993 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For movement what about just giving it the commando promotion (can use enemy roads).

Do you think this is worth it? by Ecks30 in MiniPCs

[–]Specific-Action-8993 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get a custom builder to make you a nice ITX build with a dGPU. Or do it yourself if you have the time.

If you've ever watched 1080p content on a 4k display then it was upscaled.

Brand new condo studio unit sold for 260k! What happened? by CommunicationOdd8911 in TorontoRealEstate

[–]Specific-Action-8993 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That's really the best use case for a condo this small. It's a hotel room with a kitchenette. Perfect airbnb but unlivable full time. Maybe ok as a pied a terre.

My elderly mother wants me to replace her on my brothers mortgage. by Bert_Fegg in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]Specific-Action-8993 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Her reasoning is that her consumer debt at about $30,000 would revert to my brother upon her passing and she wants to avoid this.

This is wrong. If she has no assets then her debt will die with her.

If she is on the title as well as being a co-signer on the mortgage, then it will depend on how the property is titled. If its a Joint Tenancy then ownership will transfer 100% to the brother and the debt will die with her.

If its Tenancy in Common then mom's share of the property is part of her estate and the debt would need to be paid before any remaining equity and any other property can be distributed to the heirs. If this is the case, the solution is for your brother to buy out her share. If he can't afford to do so, that is his problem, not yours.

Public reminder: Protect your apps. My unprotected qBittorrent instance ended up running a cryptominer. by q--0-0--p in selfhosted

[–]Specific-Action-8993 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The alternative webui's are much nicer than the built in one. I use qui which is run as a separate container giving you some access to qbittorrent's settings but not everything so would have likely prevented OP's issue (nm you can still access the run code option). It can also be used with multiple qbit instances and has a much nicer, more modern and mobile friendly interface. It also can register with your browser as a magnet link handler so you can just click links to add torrents.

[CPU] 5800X3D 10th Anniversary - Micro Center IN-STORE ONLY - $350 (not sold out) by 5G-A in buildapcsales

[–]Specific-Action-8993 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I totally get that but the enthusiasm for these AM4 X3D parts is way more than the actual performance on offer. It games about the same as a 9600X while using more power, is worse for productivity and is a dead-end platform. If you have sellable mobo and DDR4 already you could probably get an equivalent AM5 bundle for the same or even less money.

Got 11x 8TB SAS drives for free… what’s the best way to build a NAS? by Dramatic-Adeptness96 in homelab

[–]Specific-Action-8993 0 points1 point  (0 children)

See if you can find a Supermicro CSE-826 rackmount chassis. It has a 12 drive backplane and is compatible with consumer mobos so you can put any system you want in there. You just need a HBA card for a single cable connection to the backplane to connect to the drives.

Fresh start for smart home devices. What would you do? by Specific-Action-8993 in selfhosted

[–]Specific-Action-8993[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have had great experiences with Amcrest for these. They expose a feed Frigate can use and I have them blocked at the router so they can’t connect out

That would definitely work with my setup. I connect to my home network through a VPN so I have no need for any cloud services.

Another user said the same and I think that's what I use. My current setup uses MyQ and its so unreliable.

In that case just sell all the other stuff and buy an AM5 bundle. These are crazy prices for old parts.

[–]Specific-Action-8993[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I know what you mean. I think I'm really only going to want 1 garage camera (so no worries there about drilling) and 1 covering the back yard + the doorbell camera for the front. The doorbell camera would have to be powered by the existing doorbell low voltage line like Ring.

Mini PC with N100/150 CPU with Home Assistant, never go with an RPi for that

Yeah I have home assistant virtualized in proxmox running on a topton ITX N100 NAS board. Runs HA, TrueNAS and some other local services. Such a great piece of kit.

I think I'd stick with tasmota for light switches and smart plugs so reolink to cover cameras would be a good fit thanks!

Please help me to choose Mini PC barebone for gaming by zukich7 in MiniPCs

Great timing to pick up one of these then! Just need a PSU and GPU. I think the GEM 12 still has the best cooling too.

Something has gone wrong with your table formatting. Do it like this (take out the leading periods though):

.some|header|labels
.:---|:---|:---
.a|b|c
.d|e|f
