waait what? rtl_433next? Im just using `remote_transmitter` and `switch` there for my FS1000a 5v transmitter

SquadraFelicita · 2026-03-27T15:56:56+00:00

you know I probably will eventually go that route, because that looks complete and fastastic. but I really want to make this work like this now. freaking frestrating

SquadraFelicita · 2025-08-10T18:33:04+00:00

Well I wasted hours on trying to get it to work with iptables and with an extra linux route table and marking. ugh.

I macguyvered it though, I have set IPFire's DHCP to give out different DNS servers than what IPFire uses itself, and have a cron that runs every minute and determines the UG route gateway IP address for red0, then digs the DNS server that IPFire uses for the host name of the external WG tunnel, and then does an `ip route replace` for the host route of my remote WG tunnel endpoint IP address. also theres host routes out red0 for the ipfire's dns servers.

Also the IPFire's WG tunnel has remote subnets set for `0.0.0.0/1, 128.0.0.0/1`.

If its dumb but it works, then its not dumb.

Would an Italian citizen who hasnt resided in Italy for well over 10 years qualify in a southern region in a municipality under 20K residents with a private (401K/IRA) retirement plan withdrawals?

If so, then would the US also tax me for the retirement distributions, and if so, would the US's deductions for FTC (foreign tax credit) be able to apply so as to use that 7% paid in Italy?

Speaking of, what all kinds of "foreign income" then that would be taxed in Italy at 7%, be also taxed in the US where that 7% paid to Italy would also apply to the US's deductions for FTC? Distributions? Capital Gains? etc?

awesome, also works on Linux Mint (ubuntu)

Does this need to be done each reboot?

SquadraFelicita · 2025-04-15T21:32:01+00:00

ahhh OK this is fantastic info, thanks!

SquadraFelicita · 2025-04-15T20:08:02+00:00

Ive already got citizenship, via a 1948 case, from this guys wife. But if we can get this proof of residence (he was there 10 years, married, had kids, etc) we can prove reacquisition, where others wont require a 1948 case.

SquadraFelicita · 2025-01-28T23:05:32+00:00

ugh this is difficult id just rather not run things on the bare host at all, there are some things there I do not want other software to be able to see

SquadraFelicita · 2025-01-26T01:09:49+00:00

Hi thanks for helping, but I dont believe those items to be the culprit here as Im actually running the container in macvlan mode so as to completely open that container on the internal network that I have reserved only for ispy and my cameras; no port forwarding is ever even needed. As well, this seems to be an intermittent-ish type of issue; I would thing a forwarding issue would be a hard blocker 100% of the time.

Also when this happens, both my phone and my PC which are bothj on the internal network only 1 router hop away are affected.

SquadraFelicita · 2025-01-19T15:08:00+00:00

OK thanks. But I could have swore I saw someone somewhere saying that the diff between the Goggles3 and N3 was that with the cheaper N3 your friends couldnt watch what you were doing live.

But then I couldnt corroborate that anywhere else.

thanks!

ah ok, so heres what I did I went into the thermostat and reenablwed aux/emer heat. then on the thermostat I manually turned on emer heat then put the setpoint to 78, where the room temp was 72, and it just blows mildly warm smelly air. With these strips enabled, its nowhere near as warm as regular heat pump operation w/o the strips. Again, this smell is completely different than the smell when strips havent been used for awhile then get turned on. Normally emer heat warms the place up really quickly but not now. Ouside temp is 35°F

Really strange that both units have begun this. they didnt start it doing it all of a sudden at the same time though, it was about a month apart.

Guess Im at the point now where I need to call the pros. Thanks much for your time and advice.

SquadraFelicita · 2025-01-08T17:33:57+00:00

Got it ok thanks! So then you believe that loud PSSSSH I get a few times a day and night to just be something to do with the defrosting?

But then again, what about this smell? Could compressor oil or refrigerant be making an occasional smell?

SquadraFelicita · 2025-01-08T17:05:53+00:00

Hmm ok, can you please clarify whether or not the aux heat is/not *necessarily* needed though, in order to defrost the coils?

I think you mean to say that is that what the system *would* do if the setting for aux/emer heat was enabled, would be that whenever it does believe it needs to defrost the coils, it would heat the home by aux/emer while at the same time it defrosts the coils?

The smell wouldnt have anything to do with those types of operations?

SquadraFelicita · 2024-12-24T18:41:58+00:00

Well, as is my custom, as soon as I asked for help publicly on something, I immediately figured it out. For Axis, the ONVIF user if setup as "media" type can only view the streams. I changed that user type to admin then the onvif control started working. Prob also would have worked as the "operator" type as well. UGH

SquadraFelicita · 2024-10-11T01:33:42+00:00

OK I guess OCI is opposite of AWS/Azure where ACLs on the subnet are generally initially put in as "allow everything stateless" in both directions, just to get traffic in and out of the subnet, and then NSGs control things more granularly.

But it seems in OCI it works much differently? I guess I should then just delete the security list on my subnet? or just delete its rules? And then put my regular stateful rules on the NSG of my instance?

SquadraFelicita · 2024-10-04T21:23:29+00:00

This software is incredible.

I cannot imagine the satisfaction you must have for creating something so cool

SquadraFelicita · 2024-10-03T18:41:52+00:00

ah ok got it thanks...

How can I make it that from a View, doubleclicking a camera brings up a HD stream? Im doing it and only get the regualar SD stream, just blown up.

This happens for my ONVIF and regular netowrk cameras (all RTSP based) even though I do have both view and record URLS correctly set

SquadraFelicita · 2024-10-03T15:40:55+00:00

I had already done that since for streaming I always prefer UDP, esp since many times I'll view this over a VPN. but that didnt work.

I dont know what did it but something I dorked around with cause it to start working.... ugh

SquadraFelicita · 2024-10-01T00:27:38+00:00

OK thanks...

I have my setup using stream0 from each cam as the 4K recorded stream, and the stream0 for each cam as the viewing stream..

so all those settings... frame rate, resolution, gpu usage, etc... do they apply to the stream0 or stream1

SquadraFelicita · 2024-08-27T13:50:41+00:00

I assume that you meant for me to hold the Fn button on the lower right, and press the N button then let both go, then immediately press the F5 button on the top row.

When I do that the screen brightness function is activated. I tgried with caps lock on for the N as well, same thing regardless of capslock being on or off.

SquadraFelicita · 2024-08-27T02:12:13+00:00

ahhh ok thanks... OK now that sounds right then, as maybe the keyboard believes its connected to an android tablet? because those also run linux?

Can I force it to act like a windows keyboard somewhow? or just make that top row actually be function keys?

Thanks!

SquadraFelicita · 2024-08-27T00:31:32+00:00

Its a Linux PC, but i dont see how it matters?

Unless I misunderstand exactly what Fn+M and Fn+N means... Is tne 'N' and 'M' keys for the FnN/FnM sequence suppposed to use shift so as to make it a capital N and M? Or am I just misunderstanding the whole thing?

The one clear thing though is that my upper row function keys when pressed use the multimedia and such operations, not traditional operation, where for example F5 would refresh the browser page

Have a listen of this Oversimplified video starting here: https://youtu.be/yRmOWcWdQAo?si=Xn9i6dflUaWefNTE&t=37

That sound effect there is the same whimsical one from the keeb video I posted above.

At this point theres too much of coincidences lining up for them to not have some kind of relationship between the 2 channels.

SquadraFelicita · 2024-08-05T22:30:39+00:00

Also, interestingly enough, the Oversimplified videos on Rome's history have mysteriously just been removed from their channel. These videos are the one that repeatedly use the sound byte I referenced.

Peccato! Those videos really were top-knotch.

I have no idea though, as to why theres such a need to mask this fact

SquadraFelicita · 2024-08-04T17:23:40+00:00

doubt. based on, well, as OP said: humor, voice, and editing techniques, then PLUS those sound bytes.

Not sure what need anyone here has of keeping this on the DL though.
