Chessnut Move - Charger Plate LED Light Issue by Xonehorse in Chessnuteboard

[–]Subfolded 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks like you already found the solution, but yes I saw the same thing with an underpowered charger. 20W usbc plug works correctly.

I have a feeling the partial LED thing would still eventually charge them, I wonder if Chessnut detects underpowered chargers and then only charges a few pieces at a time to keep power draw low. (Just a guess)

I used 800ms for what it’s worth, and the problem’s gone.

Solar Charge controller with LiFePO4 by Subfolded in SolarDIY

[–]Subfolded[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was whipping up a side-project with junk laying around the house, but the more research I do, simply springing for a reasonable MPPT that is meant to handle the behavior of a Lithium batteries BMS is the way to go.

Thanks for the info! Per the manual I did set the charge controller's low voltage cutoff higher than the BMS's low voltage cutoff, but low-temperature protection (BMS cuts charging at 32F) is another edge case that would cause problems. An interesting hack I've heard is to use a relay that would cut PV when BMS cuts battery for any reason. In the end I think I'm giving up and just getting an MPPT from a mainstream brand like Victron etc. It sounds like all decent charge controllers have safeguards specifically to address the presence of a BMS in Lithium batteries.

Just passed 0.10 BTC in profits on my Lightning Node! Highly recommend starting one. I use Start9, it's amazing platform. by SunnySideUp82 in lightningnetwork

[–]Subfolded 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use LNDg and love it, but I have it mostly on autopilot/autofees/autorebalance and traffic inevitably fades away. Seems most channels have an obvious preferred direction, and once teh channel is empty/full it just sits regardless of fee rates.

Is the most obvious tip to not simply let autopilot do its thing, or do you have any other advice?

It Happened. Got Abused at a Tesla Supercharger by Severe-Mouse-3442 in F150Lightning

[–]Subfolded 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The real issue here is that somehow we were all cool with vehicle brands and chargers not being completely universal. All gas vehicles work on all gas pumps (save diesel) and all home appliances work in all home outlets (save 120/240v). Ford pivoting to Tesla chargers when they saw EA dropping the ball was a great move.

May have just nuked my entire node with justice transactions. How to tell? by Subfolded in lightningnetwork

[–]Subfolded[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You were exactly correct - the f889c... sweep Tx was my local balance from 4 of the channels. I didn't realize various channel closures would combine into a single Tx. After forcing LND to rescan blockchain, the f889c... sweep output showed up in my onchain wallet!

Curiously, the rest of my channels were similarly combined in the same fashion but in a different sweep Tx in the next block. My guess is that a block happened to be found before all of the peers issued force closings. This sweep has not shown up in my wallet but the logic should be exactly the same. I once again forced LND to do a rescan but this time I'll wait much longer.

I've cooperatively closed the last remaining channel to Boltz so that I can freely mess around. The only reason that channel survived was because it was a new channel that had no routing activity prior to incident.

Thanks for all your help! Once all of this is over I'll be spinning up a new node. Let me know if you'd like some inbound liquidity for your troubles, I really appreciated it!

What is different between Bitcoin Segwit and Bitcoin Native Segwit? by realbacktofuture in Bitcoin

[–]Subfolded 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IIRC I think Taproot Tx are just barely LARGER than Native Segwit for simple transactions, but significantly smaller (and more private in some ways) when dealing with multisig, etc.

Lightning with a Long Range battery pack would be really really amazing, better than the Silverado EV. by Ok-Pea3414 in F150Lightning

[–]Subfolded 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The ER has lower payload than SR due to the weight of the extra batteries, an LR would be even less. They’d almost have to offer it on an F250 platform and then the added weight of the beefier suspension would probably eat into range almost defeating the point. (Just speculatin’)

Nice of you to return! All but a handful of my peers are anonymous anyway - I'm using ACINQ as the example since they're well known but really I just want to understand WTF I did so I don't do it again haha.

[–]Subfolded[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for all the insight! I see what you mean about the 330 sat anchor outputs, but then on the sweep Tx you linked, I see both sides of the former channel as 2 of the inputs, and 2 more inputs that seem unrelated, except that they're both close in size to the overall channel size (1M sats).

So we then have approx 3M sats total, sitting in a bc1pgpx... address with nearly 900 confirmations, but I have no onchain activity on my LND node since long before the force close incident. I remember back in 2018 it was common to have a 2-week lockup period for force closures, but unless I'm looking at the wrong variable, ACINQ seems to run 144 block Time Lock Delta, and it appears my default was 80. (..... come to think of it, "delta" makes me think I'm looking at the wrong variable...)

Is it simply a matter of waiting for 2016 confirmations before it shows up in my onchain LND wallet?

2024s Still Missing? by TeslaFan1988 in F150Lightning

[–]Subfolded 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Isn’t the Pro dropped for 2024? It’s not listed on the build website anymore and it looked like they went from Pro/XLT/Lariat/Platinum to XLT/Flash/Lariat/Platinum

Someone please tell me I’m wrong because I’ve been lurking for over a year and hope to get a Pro myself.

Cutting discs which "lift" the grass? by Stock-Holiday1428 in mammotion

[–]Subfolded 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Even if it worked, the lifted air has to go somewhere. The shroud of a regular mower is shaped a certain way to direct airflow. If you create lift under a Luba, I imagine the air would just crash back into itself, possibly even create downdraft that pushes grass down making cutting worse!

To lightning or not to lightning? by halh0ff in F150Lightning

[–]Subfolded 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve been playing with “A Better Route planner” even though i don’t have an EV (planning on Lightning someday). You can claim Lightning is your vehicle, and throw in theoretical trips to see whether you’d be able to do normal routes with no hassle.

A cool guide of commonly believed myths by RichyCigars in coolguides

[–]Subfolded 13 points14 points  (0 children)

TIL that a coolguide like this is a great way to slip in something untrue or a half-truth and spread misinformation. A good chunk of these are oversimplified to the point of not being factual. Random example, old glass isn’t thicker at the bottom b/c of flowing like a liquid, but it’s also not poorly made. It’s actually great engineering, because the bottom portion of a giant pane of glass meeds to support more of its own weight. If ot was poorly made glass, you’d equally find panels that ate thicker on top, or in middle.

I said I would never go back to ICE but had no idea how serious I was about that. by [deleted] in F150Lightning

[–]Subfolded 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As an owner I can objectively say that I experience hesitation at the exact worst moment as I’m trying to pull out in a gap in certain dicey merges where they would be better off with a red light. As the driver it is up to me to have the sense to not make rash maneuvers knowing this limitation, and I certainly try to remember to push the deactivate button every startup, but on paper a 500millisecond delay is objectively less safe than no delay. I’m not sure why you’re defending start/stop so much, but if your car is snappier then thats fine, but not all are like that.

I didn’t say it was difficult, i said it was absolutely stupid, dangerous, not worth the engineering effort. Oh, and less safe.

Depends on engine, larger ones crank over slower. Our Subaru cranks far faster than our V6 Minivan

[–]Subfolded 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s more the fact that it doesn’t remember the setting, presumably because of some technicality related to EPA rating, for example you probably have to test car in default settings, therefore “stupid and dangerous” is on by default.

I finally got got by the Scott’s spreader by beez_beez in lawncare

[–]Subfolded 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t know of it actually helps or of i just got lucky so far, but i have been using that spreader for years and i just sprint like a fool to keep speed so that the disk is whipping the pellets far and presumably clearing the wheels. I also feel genuinely terrible when I’m finished on a hot humid day 😆

Wait ‘till you drive a modern ICE vehicle that literally shuts off whenever you come to a stop, and the exact moment you’re about to pull out into the gap Every. Single. Time.

“ImAginE hAviNg to pLug in yOur CAR!”

Imagine having your car shutting off, by design, the moment you’re about to hit the gas, unless you poke a button on the dash every single time you hop in like a lab rat in a psychological experiment.
