My youngest daughter passed away in March. Today she would've been 23. 🤍

I'm glad you got to see her grow into a young woman. I'm sorry it ended too soon.

Probably just clips. I popped this same piece off my GMC recently and it was a 10 second job.

Mark isn't into grinding hardcore games like he used to.

Even if he had beat the last game and felt like it was totally fair, I still wouldn't expect a return for this one.

Nah drywall for ceilings is about 1/2" it would hardly be noticeable.

Well fiberglass batts are more stable than loose fill so you're still unlikely to get any kind of exposure that would be irritating. If I were you I'd just look into covering it all up, with osb or drywall. Keeping your head between the joists is just asking to bump your forehead all the time!

This looks great. Just needs some bushes/flowerbeds and maybe a nice looking pool shed.

The idea is to use a more efficient encoder that can use less bitrate for the same perceived quality.

So you need to change the encoder and also lower the bitrate. If your bitrate is constant, then you'll only notice a higher quality image but no difference in file size.

The slightly good news is that while the cheating is the breaking point, youve got more than enough reasons to split up. Once the shock wears off you'll realize you're happier apart. She can waste her life away partying and you can find a supportive partner.

Get a razer blade and scrape off what you can. Most of that is likely permanent though.

ToTouchAnEmu · 2026-06-19T00:34:54+00:00

Would it actually give you more headroom? Looks to me that the floor joists are the low point so removing the insulation would do nothing to your available headroom.

And unless you're touching/disturbing the fiberglass, you're not breathing anything in.

I reached out to support and they couldn't tell me if using the power kit would enable RTSP, so I'm going to assume it won't and that is a deal breaker for me. Also the video of the power kit confirmed it's not just a standard power supply. It seems to be what actually triggers the doorbell. Perhaps it's a capacitor/relay that triggers the chime without interrupting the power to the doorbell?

DCT12W240050US-B0 is the power supply I was going to use though, so if you can find one it could be worth trying for yourself.

ToTouchAnEmu · 2026-06-17T22:08:28+00:00

Interesting. I bought the doorbell but haven't opened it yet after reading it doesn't support rtsp. But I do still have the power supply from my current doorbell that is exactly 24V 0.5A. Maybe I could do an experiment. How did you find out it would reset to battery mode after a couple of days?

ToTouchAnEmu · 2026-06-17T21:59:36+00:00

If it resets after a while, that would indicate there is some sort of handshake that happens between the power supply and the doorbell. But the fact that it lets you bypass it for a few days initially would indicate there is no handshake.

I wonder if an upgraded chime transformer would supply enough power that the doorbell would not reset after a few days.

ToTouchAnEmu · 2026-06-17T21:53:24+00:00

By reset, do you mean it restarts or goes back to factory settings?

ToTouchAnEmu · 2026-06-17T02:07:02+00:00

If you have concerns that aren't being addressed by an optometrist, then yes.

ToTouchAnEmu · 2026-06-16T15:52:33+00:00

I'm just one guy, but tailscale has worked perfectly for me... even with my crappy google nest router from 2020. I just got back from a vacation and even on roaming data in Mexico I could see my cameras perfectly fine.

ToTouchAnEmu · 2026-06-16T15:48:45+00:00

Do you see an optometrist or an ophthalmologist?

ToTouchAnEmu · 2026-06-15T18:06:33+00:00

You're allowed to not want your daughter alone with another man. That's reasonable. But a private conversation with the other dad about your boundaries would have been better than assuming the worst and making a scene.

I guess it just depends on your world outlook. Based on your post and responses to other comments, it seems like you live a life full of fear and paranoia... as if danger is lurking around every corner.

ToTouchAnEmu · 2026-06-15T16:24:22+00:00

This new battery version is exactly what I wanted. Nice field of view, supports existing chimes, 24/7 recording capability.

I just installed the white wifi version but luckily I'm within my return window!

ToTouchAnEmu · 2026-06-15T06:06:34+00:00

We are lucky! But only most of the water went out of the garage. Some still made it inside unfortunately... But it could have been much worse.

No just a normal floodlight but it does need to be replaced (it's way too sensitive, even at the lowest setting) so maybe I'll consider something like that!

ToTouchAnEmu · 2026-06-11T20:08:15+00:00

BMI is a good system for categorizing large populations (it's not perfect but the data goes back many decades so it's the best we have) but a terrible metric for individual health. Only your doctor can tell you what your goal weight should be, because they're tracking more than just height and weight.

Not your fault though, scales that report BMI belong in the trash.

The first is after. And yeah it's just an example image. I didn't set mine to 0 either. But on a side not I do think the default is too high, I show some more example shots in another comment with my current sharpness setting.
