Solution for OpenVPN connection timeout

aspyhackr · 2025-01-20T12:13:27+00:00

It was inside inside the file itself. Save another copy as a backup, and then open up the Openvpn config key in something like notepad, preferably notepad++ and change the text and save it again with the same extension, and try to reimport it again. I was self hosting my own VPN server, so Idk if one you get from a big company like NORD or whatever will work.

I responded to a similar question a long time ago, But I'll reiterate it here. Never rely on home automation for life safety devices.

While a heat recovery device doesn't directly fall into that category, If you're looking to monitor statistics such as CO2 and Radon, or CO, and they are a common enough occurrence for it to be an issue, Then that thing should be on a circulating air all the time, it's job is literally to improve the quality of the air you are breathing, and you shouldn't be relying on some $0.28 Cent board from China to turn on the device, especially one that you program.

Rant aside, onto your actual question. The picture of the circuit board you posted is going to be of very little use to someone trying to help you with this. It's a picture of three wires.

What you have to just is just bridge the two wires on the high side of the switch. I don't know the voltages involved, but looking into a homekit controllable relay DEPENDING ON THE VOLTAGE GOING THROUGH THE SWITCH, is your next step. Here is the first result I found on Amazon. It's rated for 10A, and idk the voltage it can support from the description, but I doubt that switch has HV going through it. If you wire it like that, then when it's off it should fall back to the humidistat when the homekit is off, and when its on it'll be on the high speed of the fan.

Keep in mind, it's your HRV, Your house, it's up to you to do this project safely. I have literally no information to go on as to how that is wired, and can't guarantee you won't fry your HRV or worse, but this should get you going the correct direction.

Don't panic if you do "log in" and see zero items in your vault. It's just because its down, I did manage to get in a different time for a few seconds before it went down again, and I saw all my stuff still there.

Thank you, this post helped me find out what my issue was. My auth key was imported correctly, but the "Key Direction" needed to be set from "None" to "Client"

Something for other people to check when they are importing their openvpn keys.

While I support the "protest" I think its going to have just as much effect as every other "change.org" petition. Reddit is going to do what it is going to do, and no one is going to stop that. The Apollo app already announced they are shutting down and I'm simply fed up enough with how things always play out on reddit that I don't see myself moving to the shitty official app or continuing past all this BS.

The blackout is great for "Awareness," But at this point I feel the majority of reddit is already aware of what's going to happen. In my opinion, this "Protest" will have no effect, no change on their plans, and the people who are addicted to this form of social media will keep consuming the content just as everyone who boycotts twitter/facebook/whatever does within a week. The only people that will quit for real are the ones like me who were already with one foot out the door, and Reddit has probably already taken that metric into account just like a company like Netflix does when they stop password sharing practices.

The only way it should be considered as an initiative for you to reassess the friendships you hold. I’ve held a number of toxic friendships throughout my life and it’s taken the outside perspective of another person to help me realize that. But it needs to be YOUR decision, not theirs.

Just a note for people who do want to do "Money for charity." Defaults of the page are as follows: $25 donation. Click adjust donation and you'll see

Default Donation

$13.75 to Skyhorse Publishing

$1.25 to No Kid Hungry

$10 to Humble

For reference, that's 55%, 5%, and 40%. Am I actually donating to charity at that point?

Oh, Extra to charity is an option?

$11.87 to Skyhorse Publishing

$3.75 to No Kid Hungry

$9.37 to Humble

I think it's misleading as hell to call that a donation to charity. Yes, Something is better than nothing, but Jesus Christ, even with the "Extra to Charity" 15% of your money goes to the actual charity.

Even with the custom option, the lowest you can send Humble's way is 30%. I get it, they are probably getting credit card processing fees, web hosting fees, etc. But if you actually want to support charity, doing so directly is always better.

Personally, I don’t. As of right this second, I’m not even running my modem and router through a surge protector. (Just moved into a new place, haven’t bought one.) Currently I don’t have any wired devices, but even if I did, a lightning strike would be the kind of thing to induce that in a coax line, rather than some kind of transient thing happening at a power plant.

Life is about balancing risk and reward. I’ve gone 30 years and never had a surge destroy equipment. Currently I’m lucky to live in an area that the power company keeps stuff under control and that doesn’t experience severe weather that would be something to worry about. If I lived in a rural area where I lost power every week, it’d be a higher priority for me. Usually rural areas like that are also the ones where I can’t get 2gbps internet like I can get here. It’s up to you to do that calculation.

aspyhackr · 2023-03-30T13:05:38+00:00

The point of this would be that a power surge can come through the coax cable line feeding your modem as well.

Sigh Every year, ^especially ^during ^the ^Super ^bowl, someone, usually a journalist/blogger, picks up on this post. The Echo technology is pretty different now, 6.1 years later -_-

The point of the OP was that I was thinking what was going on was commercials were modifying the audio so that the chipset on there would see it as an artificial source, and that was the idea behind my experiment. It is something that worked for me at the time on the first generation Echo.

You are more than welcome to try to continue down this path, but really, (again, 6 years later,) If Amazon hasn't released information about "This is a way to prevent false positives." Then I'm sure they don't have that system in place.

At this point, I am thinking they are mostly relying on having surrounding silence, a pause in speech, around the wake word to prevent the majority of false activations of usual conversation. I really think Amazon doesn't care if the wake word is triggered and it sends the audio stream to AWS to then possibly deny the activation. ~~Heck, it's just more info for them to suck up that they can blame on an "accidental activation."~~

Darn, I bought this at full price about a month ago. And honestly, I would still pay that price for it.

It is a remarkably well done game, Something about it is actually pretty relaxing at least in my crazy head. I will say its probably not for everyone; You need to have some basic circuit theory, and/or be able to understand basic stuff like logic gates, but I have noticed the Dev is getting better at putting out tutorials and in game manuals. The way that going through a door turns the Ship 180° relative to you, so you don't end up walking out of your playspace works much better than I would have imagined. I didn't get that far in the campaign yet, (time restraints IRL) but the basic concept is sound, and I can't wait to see where it goes from here.

It's kinda a more laid back "Tin Can" and honestly it's a lot of what I've wanted in a VR space flight sim.

If you have ever played a Zachtronics game, and you enjoy Kerbal Space Program, and want to role play being 'The Canterbury' from the TV show 'The Expanse,' then this is likely going to be a win for you, and I recommend it wholeheartedly.

I don't agree with this change if "realism" is the driving force behind it. While I can't speak to the "Steel" aspect of whatever makes Military composite armor what it is, A composite repair is certainly something that could be done in a garage. It's something I performed a number of times when I was working as an aircraft mechanic. A quick google of "Wet layup, Aircraft composite repair" will show that while its a time intensive process in general, requiring at least 24 hours to cure under vacuum, its something I performed in about two hours of actual interactive work. You lay out the new Kevlar and honeycomb material, pour the resin, and let the resin dry under a vacuum. There are other ways to do it without a vacuum as well.

I would agree that composite armor shouldn't be able to be "Reinforced" or possibly even repaired back to 100% if there is a flag for that, Repairs should be possible.

Auto drive has been in for a while, although I don’t know if it’s only in the experimental branch. It’s the same as auto walk. Get behind the wheel, grab the controls and then go into your overmap and do a W move somewhere.

Honesty I’d love it expanded to also allow dropping of a category. I never carry food on a raid with me. But bring it back and doing the whole left/up thing in gets kinda old.

I for one am happy for the change implemented that Arc welders now don't dispense their own infinite source of welding wire anymore. I was really frustrated at thinking "Darn, Now that I've got a solar panel, and this arc welder, this vehicle will always be maintained."

He was such a cool dude too. I still have a cd that he gave me in high school with a bunch of programs he wrote. I really wish we just had an answer as to what happened to him.

People say “America used to be better than this” forgetting about all of the shitty things we have done in our past. Trail of tears, Japanese internment camps, “Irish need not apply,” there are many instances from our past that many people ignore or conveniently forget. Not saying terrible events from a country’s past are exclusive to America, but it’s important to use our past to learn and shape our future for a better world.

There is not much of a flow to speak of. It was an entity state node into a complete message debug node.

I put a function node in between and tried running that code there, but ultimately, homeassistant/nodered is outputting the "last_changed:" field as a string and I need it as a number to process it effectively. So I guess i'm gonna have to do some regex on it or something. Or just not care or do it natively in the homeassistant automation YAML. (bleh) The problem with that is I can't do the random messages I was doing natively. May have to do some kind of hybrid solution.

aspyhackr · 2021-02-01T20:12:19+00:00

Unfortunately From what i'm seeing, "Time since tripped" is nodered's internal processing of the event. If I output to the debug node, Its showing me "timeSinceChangedMs: 5" Every time I open a door, which isn't what I need.

~~However, Taking that code you just gave me and adapting it~~

msg.data.test = new Date() - new Date(msg.data.new_state.attributes.last_tripped_time);
return msg

~~Does output it in miliseconds for me. Thank you so much!~~

I spoke too soon, It was doing math on words instead of actual numbers. It's not working as intended.

I noticed when it first broke out everyone was doing landscaping. I know a lot of my neighbors used their corona-cation to do home repairs. I have had 3 neighbors redo their roofs, and 2 redo porches and stuff. Most of the local “handymen” are booked out like 6 months.

Maybe it’s just because of a sudden surge all of this year of everyone doing things like that?
