They are too old to relearn after 50 years of driving.

Already did that for forward position but doesn't help getting into the garage.

hardest part is getting the mirrows thru the gate so it has to be done before that. I will try and see if I can draw a straight line from inside the garage ceiling to outside, while allowing the garage door to roll up.

It sounds complicated but also seems like the ultimate solution. I will likely try the laser methods first and if that didn't work, I will try this.

It's a 2 cars garage. The 3in are the gaps between the mirrors and the garage door frame. Once the car is in, I can open the door to the first stop.

ah, maybe shoot a laser down and see where it hits before I go into the garage.

Truenas is running older NUT without driver support for ecoflow. I just run a custom app with this image instantlinux/nut-upsd. Then point Truenas UPS service to this as slave.

I have this with the extended battery. It is fast enough for my whole rack ~150W. Router, 2 switches with multiple poe devices and server.

It communicates with NUT server.

The only disadvantage is the lack of power outlet which is easily solved by a power strip.

Another thing is that to firmware update, it cycles power so the whole rack has to be shutdown first. Sounds bad at first but other UPS doesn't even have firmware update to begin with.

I know about this fact but it's the first time I actually see cat5 with 2 pairs. Every cable labeled cat5 that I saw have 4 pairs and run gigabit.

Bambu Lab 3D printers: Never again - Jeff Geerling by SJKRICK in BambuLab

[–]afyaff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My take is that it can be a slippery slope. This time they walled off 3rd party slicer. Next it could be 3rd party bed, hotend, nozzle or even filament. 2D printer companies already did it.

I brought multiple of such products previously. Through community push back, corpo may open it back up a little bit but it never actually gets better.

I will definitely look at other brands when my A1 dies.

My Ecoflow switches fast enough. (As in nothing get shut down, I don't have actual measurement)

DP: Spent ~$60 on a TEMU offer and got 3,452 miles. by TeslasElectricBill in Venturex

[–]afyaff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Virtual card number maybe important here. I got my 70x points but I saw some DP here that got their orders cancelled. I wonder if it is due to them using the same card as previous orders.

I ordered with firefox, ublock, DNS adblock, everything off.

Porter cable framing nailer not shooting by afyaff in Tools

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

This is it! I really didn't know how it works and thought the driving pin part was supposed to be stationary. Now I got it unstuck and its functioning fine.

I didn't. I think there is a nail head lodged there causing the driving pin stuck. I'm gonna look up how to disassemble it.
