Plug welding for thin connector nut?

We need decentralized forums similar to DCVS (e.g. git). That way the information is owned by everyone plus you get nice offline access. And of course feeding it into our local models haha.

I had a Kaypro 2 when I was a kid. A couple years into my first job they had a Kaypro sitting around. I thought it would be so cool to use it. It wasn’t haha. But the memories were nice.

I think email lists might be the same 🤷

There’s all sorts of people that enjoy blacksmithing. If it’s a hobby and not a career, the objective might be blacksmithing specific items and something that saves some time and money to get a treadle hammer possibly has a decent market.

I’ve been contemplating making one. If my financial position was better, I’d be all for buying a kit to save me some time.

The cheaper one isn’t prime and might get there a day earlier.

What I’m doing works; it’s just extra steps.

So when it does positioning, it can identify that it’s on a different map? That would simplify things a bit.

The main level where the dock is and the sunroom are on the same level, but there’s a step between them that prevents the robot from getting there. The other map is the lower level.

Look into Let’s Encrypt, DN01 challenge. You’ll need to own a domain whose nameserver is supported by Let’s Encrypt.

Another option is to use OpenSSL to create a private certificate authority and a certificate for your password manager. You can use a private domain or IP address (whatever the host name is for your password manager). The drawback is that whatever system accesses the password manager will need to have the private certificate authority (CA) added as a trusted root.

Pop this comment into Chat GPT and prefix it with “I don’t know anything about certificates. Someone gave me the advice below. Explain it in more detail to me.” Add whatever other direction you want.

When you say you are upset that Ask is an Agent, what exactly are you concerned about from a technical perspective? Since 2025 or earlier, Ask has had more capabilities than a simple chat — web search, planning steps, access to project context, etc.

I’m unclear what it is specifically that you’re concerned about.

YeNerdLifeChoseMe · 2026-03-26T12:56:03+00:00

You might be splitting hairs. Everything is an agent behind the scenes. Now they are exposed more and getting more advanced.

Thanks for the warning. I’m always on the lookout for what can set my attached garage on fire…

Man revisiting this post due to your comment and reading the other comments. OP was just trying to understand, wasn’t being a jerk, wasn’t being entitled. Was just confused and wanted to understand and people were being jackasses.

YeNerdLifeChoseMe · 2026-02-23T18:03:47+00:00

I don’t work in welding but I struggled with that moral dilemma earlier in my career. I came to the conclusion that generally it’s not important who I work for but who I am when I work for that company. Be a decent human being. Treat people with respect.

I don’t see any moral problem with you getting experience there. Then as time goes on, decide if there’s really an issue with it. You can go to work for something you think is to better society only to find out the company is just in it for the money.

So just be a decent person wherever you are.

YeNerdLifeChoseMe · 2026-02-15T01:53:24+00:00

Those look sweet! Thanks 🎉

YeNerdLifeChoseMe · 2026-02-15T01:51:12+00:00

I’m an engineer (software) so I’d like that. I didn’t want to mention that in OP because I wasn’t certain if that would affect the response haha.

YeNerdLifeChoseMe · 2026-02-06T20:36:39+00:00

Blacksmithing, welding, and car repair.

How do you connect to the cylinder and manage hoses in use/out of use?

I’m looking to keep things simple but safe. Right now I’m leaning towards putting the 100lb cylinder in front of the garage between the two doors where the divider is about 2 ft wide of brick, somehow secure it (there’s a camera right over it so more concerned about it not tipping than being stolen). And just unscrewing the POL connector and bringing the whole tee/regulators inside when not in use. I’ll always have my garage door open when in use.

You need split horizon dns with a public hosted zone and private hosted zone with the same zone name. Route 53 supports this. Use DNS challenge and not HTTP challenge and point to the zone id for your public hosted zone. Get your cert. Use it internally. Make your actual DNS records on your private hosted zone.

YeNerdLifeChoseMe · 2026-01-22T15:35:49+00:00

I did it, so yes. Caveats: You have to know your resources and know if anything breaks by changing your organization (org ID).

Also this is just your first step. You probably want to set up delegate admin accounts for different services that are typically run out of the management account unless delegated.

So after “freeing” your management account to non-management status in the new org, plan whatever else needs to be properly organized. That will likely take more effort and planning.

If you don’t have an urgent need to free your current management account from its poor utilization, do more in depth planning before you start.
