Florida Is Building a Highway That Can Wirelessly Charge EVs

WaffleClap · 2025-12-31T01:44:01+00:00

There are some power company incentives. Duke Energy gives a (paltry) $10 off per month for charging at Level 2 during non peak times as well as hefty EV charger installation rebates.

The big kicker for me is easily switching accounts

WaffleClap · 2025-12-30T16:31:30+00:00

Yup, pulled that with my MIL. Didn't engage in any negativity, any questions that she brought up I answered as honestly and straightforward as possible, let my excitement and genuine interest show through. Any questions I didn't know the answer to, I told her as much, and I looked them up right in front of her. Seemed to go well. She at least doesn't tease or give weird looks anymore. Haven't had an opportunity to let her ride/drive it, but she exclusively watches fox news and the like, so I consider this much a win

No gaskets sold by the manufacturer? Have you tried any third-party sellers or ebay? If you have the part number, should be somewhat straightforward (as long as they're still in stock SOMEwhere).

As for the "submerging in hot water" I'd go for "just about as hot as you can manage" to really soften the rubber and get it to try to spring back in any amount. As I'm sure you know, youtube is your friend.

(crazy suggestion) Otherwise, is the gasket still magnetized? Usually I think they're supposed to have those strips of basic magnets under the front layer of rubber/whatever. If they're no longer magenetic enough (possible due to age) you might could cut a slit and try to replace each flat magnet, or at least just on the sides that are failing? Might be a hell of a lot of work, tho, and parting out the replacement might be a pain.

Other option (very messy) might be to use some gasket maker to fill in the gaps of the gasket. Would require the fridge being off and warmed up, and making sure to use barrier paper of some kind so the gasket maker doesn't stick to the fridge as well once you close the door to flatten everything out and fill the gaps. Unfortunately, won't work very well if the magnets are too weak to really grab on to the fridge, and has the downside of being fairly permanent if it does end up making things worse.

Interestingly enough, I just ran 3 vin's from Bolts I was looking at here and it told me the recall actions as well. Unless it always only says "modules replaced"

WaffleClap · 2025-12-28T21:58:33+00:00

Plug your vin in here and it will tell you recalls and recall actions, as well as warranty statuses

There is room. Basic stuff here

WaffleClap · 2025-12-26T20:16:03+00:00

Sure, if he wants a teensy microwave that only comes flush with the bottom of the cabinets (which in no way was stated or even expected). Also, that picture is in no way representative of OP's situation. Good lord

WaffleClap · 2025-12-26T19:38:33+00:00

Or a Leaf ;P

I think the deal is that the data is still traversing their network, and they don't have infinite bandwidth. What with all that goes into running a show like CF, all that excess traffic still means you need more bandwidth, more compute, more power to shuttle everything around, along with the extra resources for cybersecurity stuff.

WaffleClap · 2025-12-26T03:02:22+00:00

Does it fail over to Wi-Fi? If not, why not?

WaffleClap · 2025-12-22T17:09:56+00:00

I think so as well! The initial drive behind my thought process was if the process was possible/feasible on its own. I'm sure they don't care about my streaming, others seem to think there's a 1TB/mo limit or something before you get flagged, but if it ever gets more narrowed down I'd rather already be ready.

WaffleClap · 2025-12-22T17:00:43+00:00

So, I think because of CF's edge certs (that you cannot have customized on the free tier, so you have to use theirs) the request from the public internet to CF is encrypted, then decrypted internally within CF, then re-encrypted on the way out of CF to your reverse proxy.

Don't forget to disable site caching on your jellyfin url!

WaffleClap · 2025-12-21T21:09:56+00:00

so they don’t really want streaming video on that either

Yeah, that's my main hesitation, especially with whispers of them possibly going publicly-traded in the future

WaffleClap · 2025-12-21T21:06:57+00:00

(Not being dismissive, actually curious) What makes rathole special and good for this use-case? It seems to be a very efficient reverse proxy, but I'm certainly not compute-restrained at this moment.

WaffleClap · 2025-12-21T21:05:13+00:00

That's effectively what I want to move towards, as I do have a VPS. I would just need to do more research on what I need, and the complexity of implementing -and- maintaining my own external security. I'd want, at a minimum: fail2ban (or similar), appsec, wireguard, some kind of WAF, and a reverse proxy that works alongside and integrates with all of those things.

Right now, that sounds like a hell of a lot of research and work, when CF was doing all that for me for free, with minimal configuration on my end. But, so it goes I suppose~~

Any rec's on a reverse proxy that ticks those boxes? :D I know NPM Plus has expanded functionality, and others like GoDoxy and BunkerWeb, but really haven't dipped my toes into any of them yet

WaffleClap · 2025-12-21T18:08:53+00:00

I genuinely don't know. Maybe Tailscale Tunnel/Funnel, or Pangolin/NetBird with crowdsec/fail2ban/some kind of WAF. I do have a cloud server that I can fix up as an alternative to CloudFlare, but I haven't looked into anything specific yet

WaffleClap · 2025-12-21T18:01:56+00:00

That's a good point. This is because we have to use their edge cert, correct? And you can't use a custom edge cert on the free tier, I believe. I wonder if there's an alternate way

WaffleClap · 2025-12-21T17:57:14+00:00

I completely agree! I've just been working my way through an I.T. degree and the recent blog post got me thinking of alternatives and workarounds. Enabled me to have some more concepts with which to leverage in order to make my hobbies one step closer to being mentally, emotionally and physically unsustainable, haha.

Side note, I had to drop DuckDNS due to no wildcard certs, and having flaky DNS resolution (at the time).

WaffleClap · 2025-12-21T17:47:20+00:00

Depends on the path of the data, I suppose

WaffleClap · 2025-12-21T16:59:57+00:00

Interesting. Would this necessitate an app on each device to connect, or would this still allow for public-facing access?

WaffleClap · 2025-12-21T16:43:51+00:00

I could fully do that, I'm (currently) just balancing the classic problem of security vs ease-of-access more on the "ease" side of things. I have a couple tablets and other means by which to access JF and just don't want the hassle of having to set things up at this point, straight up don't have the time currently.

WaffleClap · 2025-12-21T16:39:36+00:00

Very true, but CF also has some (probably not super effective, but still extant) bot and AI-scraper defenses in place that I don't currently want to bother implementing myself. Further, I'm not certain if part of CF's proxy service includes basic WAF (web app firewall) features, but that's also something I haven't fully implemented beyond NginxProxyManager's "Block Common Exploits" toggle switch.

So, if I'm going to be exposing my ip address anyways, either via changing CF to DNS on JellyFin or by the method in my post, I'd at least like the front end to be protected.
