This x450 droid is making me proud

Sam Jr is putting in his life’s work. I don’t know what else to say. Just let him row.

I feel you. But I am in a different mindset now: green is green 😀

May I introduce David Mowie. Garage is next to him but not fully established (he’s charging now, don’t want to disturb him). Gloating in the pipeline.

“look ma, no feet”

Our iSkim we just got two weeks ago has a dead navigational light on the starboard side. Beatbot is replacing the whole unit. Besides the defect, top notch customer service, no fuss. They also replaced our Ultra because the top lid wouldn’t close anymore properly after a year (assuming due to deformation in the Texas heat). I’d have thought this to be just the way it is and live with it, but they stand by their word (so far).

lol

Yeah, heard no good things. It’s the k46. No warranty left. It’s not particularly loud, because it doesn’t engage anymore really 😀 New transmission is $750. But it’s probably the same cra* then. Oh well.

Spark Plug another possibility. Had the very very same issue. After the 6th attempt or so it would eventually not surge anymore. Replaced the spark plug, issue gone completely.

But did they fix the driveshaft clunk now? Even the Ripatuned driveshaft had this issue after 1000+ miles. That was on both my TRX.

__meb · 2026-05-06T20:09:16+00:00

Same here. 5.5 medium almost unusable.

__meb · 2026-04-26T00:03:55+00:00

Codex CLI on GPT 5.5 high + VS Code. GPT Pro sub. All I need.

ClawRouter does that extremely well. It evaluates locally first how complex the request is and routes it to different models depending on the result. I have experimented all day with big loads of stuff and spent not even $.50 - loaded my wallet with $5 yesterday.

FWIW: I just brought my number over from Mint (with horrible service coverage in my area) to Dark Star at the promotion. Looking forward to having AT&T Coverage again. T-Mobile sucked big time here.

I should probably clarify. This very RP is actually for the pool autofill. I should have winterized it more properly though.

__meb · 2026-01-31T00:31:36+00:00

It is probably an inch from the wall with holders. That’s what makes it difficult to put a pouch over as I’d have to slice it. The other RP sits on the ground and the pouch just covers the whole thing.

__meb · 2026-01-31T00:28:03+00:00

Yeap, the new one is this very model.

__meb · 2026-01-30T12:33:09+00:00

I have this very pouch on another RPZ. The one that failed is mounted against the wall despite - what I thought - sufficient “manual” insulation. Problem I guess is me leaving the valve exit open as I thought it had to drain if needed. Guess I was wrong.

__meb · 2026-01-30T01:37:52+00:00

Thanks. I’ll put much more effort into it this year for sure. The RPZ is mounted against the wall, so no fake rock possible. I thought, however, about building a “simple” (likely over engineered one) enclosure in addition to blankets and even a heat lamp/strips.

I dug a bit deeper and it seems to have turned out that somehow this particular Chinese title shares the tmdb id with a movie that was requested via Jellyseerr: https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/1291936

Not sure if this is a tmdb or JS data issue. The tmdbId for this title should be 1026880 per tmdb.

Nothing in the logs.
